    Kaws- Brian Donnelly Companion Flayed- Black Fine Art Toy by Kaws- Brian Donnelly

    Companion Flayed- Black Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by Modern Pop Artist Kaws. 2016 Unopened Package Limited Open Edition 10.5 X 4.5 X 2.5 / 16.7 X 11.4 X 6.4 CM The Companion Flayed: An Icon of KAWS' Street Pop Art Legacy The Companion Flayed Black Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy embodies the pinnacle of KAWS' influence in modern pop and street pop art. Unveiled in 2016, this piece is a profound iteration of the most recognizable figure in KAWS' artistic arsenal, the Companion. The artist has reimagined the Companion multiple times, each version laying bare a new facet of its symbolic resonance. The flayed version, particularly in its stark black form, invites viewers to peer beneath the surface, literally and metaphorically, into the layers composing this contemporary icon. Measuring 10.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 inches, the Companion Flayed stands as a testament to KAWS' ability to manipulate form and content to produce artworks that speak to a generation conversant in the visual language of design, pop culture, and street aesthetics. This series, including full-bodied and flayed versions of the classic character, was released in conjunction with KAWS's exhibition "Where The End Starts" in Fort Worth, Texas. Standing 11 inches tall, the figures were made available through KAWSONE, MoMA, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, marking a significant moment in the intersection of street art and institutional recognition. Companion Flayed's Role in the Dialogue of Street Pop Art KAWS' Companion Flayed is more than a collectible; it's a conversation piece that delves into the dialogue of what Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork can be. It's a manifestation of KAWS' unique ability to traverse the spectrum of visual art, from anonymous street tags to globally recognized sculptures. The flayed version, with its exposed internal vibrancy, can be seen as a deconstruction of the character itself and the culture from which it originates. The black color of the figure contrasts with the colorful internal details, creating a visual dialogue between the seen and unseen, the external persona, and the internal complexity. The release of this series through prominent art institutions and KAWS' platform, KAWSONE, reflects the evolving landscape where street-inspired art is as much at home in the museum as on the urban wall. It underscores the fluidity of KAWS' art, capable of eliciting a sense of familiarity while challenging perceptions with its dissected form. This feature has become a recurrent theme in his work. KAWS' Impact on the Art Toy Movement and Beyond The Companion Flayed Black Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy is emblematic of KAWS' impact on the burgeoning art toy movement. This movement sees the toy as a canvas for artistic expression, a medium that allows the artist to explore form, concept, and accessibility in new ways. Through figures like the Companion Flayed, KAWS has been pivotal in pushing the boundaries of this movement, garnering attention not only from the realms of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork but also from the wider art community and popular culture. The release of this collectible in a limited open edition signifies the democratizing vision KAWS has for art. While each piece holds the allure of exclusivity, the forthcoming edition format ensures it remains within reach for a diverse audience, aligning with the ethos of street art's accessibility. With its distinctive cross-eyed face and x-ed-out eyes, the Companion Flayed has transcended its role as mere merchandise to become an essential touchstone in contemporary art, embodying the interplay between mass culture and high art that defines KAWS' oeuvre.

  • Sterling Spoon Janes Addiction Calavera AP Silkscreen Print by Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas

    Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas Sterling Spoon Janes Addiction Calavera AP Silkscreen Print by Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas

    Sterling Spoon Janes Addiction Calavera AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Latino Artist Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas. AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed & Marked Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Sterling Spoon Janes Addiction Calavera AP Artist Proof stands as a testament to the convergence of pop art and street art, epitomized in the modern art scene. Produced in 2016, this silkscreen print, crafted meticulously on fine art paper, is the brainchild of the acclaimed Latino artist, Ernesto Yerena Montejano, who is widely recognized under the banner "Hecho Con Ganas." Montejano's artistry is renowned for weaving cultural narratives and themes, particularly from his Latino heritage, into contemporary artistic expressions that resonate across a global audience. Diving deeper into the artwork, one cannot overlook its size – an impressive 18x24 inches – that commands attention and ensures that the details and nuances are not lost on the viewer. The choice of the Calavera, or skull, as a motif is not arbitrary. It embodies themes of mortality, celebration, and remembrance, often associated with the Day of the Dead celebrations in Latin cultures. This ties the work to a deep-rooted tradition while presenting it through the lens of modern-day pop and street art. What sets this piece apart, even more, is its exclusivity. As an Artist Proof, it is not just a mere representation of Montejano's vision but also offers a closer, more personal glimpse into his creative process. Marked with the artist’s signature, this limited edition piece serves as a bridge between the urban streets from where street art draws its inspiration and the polished galleries that pop art often finds its home. Such a piece not only speaks of its inherent artistic value but also stands as a chronicle of the times, cultures, and emotions that birthed it.

  • UltraS PP Archival Print by David Molesky

    David Molesky UltraS PP Archival Print by David Molesky

    UltraS PP Printer Proof Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by David Molesky, a Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. PP Printers Proof 2016 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x20 "This painting is the masterpiece from my series of paintings based on media images of the revolution in Kyiv. It's the largest of the eight paintings and the one I spent the most time on. The figure captures the energy that originally drew me into the subject matter. The paintings of this series are a departure from my earlier figurative paintings. For the last decade, I have tried to depict universal time and avoided artificial objects. I've dropped that dogma. I love that the subject is current and contains elements that seem from another era. For example, the old school puffy down jacket and the overall color looks a bit like old film tone." - David Molesky. The Convergence of Revolution and Art in David Molesky's "UltraS" David Molesky's "UltraS PP Printer Proof" stands out as a pivotal creation that captures the essence of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork while being deeply rooted in the historical context of the revolution in Kyiv. As an archival pigment print on 310gsm fine art paper, this piece holds significant value in its material quality and profound thematic content. The limited edition print, marked and signed by Molesky himself, measures 24x20 inches, providing a substantial canvas for the artist's vision. Molesky's journey through the artistic depiction of universal time and space takes a dramatic turn with "UltraS." The painting eschews his previous avoidance of temporal and artificial elements, plunging instead into the immediacy of current events with a raw and gripping portrayal of the human spirit in times of conflict. The "UltraS" series, specifically this print, departs from Molesky's earlier figurative painting, venturing into a more dynamic and narratively rich territory. The artwork is an amalgamation of past and present, a visual dialogue between the history it draws from and the contemporary medium of its expression. The print itself, a Printer's Proof, bears the unique distinction of being a precursor to the final limited edition run, carrying with it the artist's nuances and direct hand. The markings and the signature on each PP print confirm its authenticity and exclusivity, making it a coveted item for collectors and admirers of modern pop art. In "UltraS," Molesky achieves a striking balance between the static and the kinetic. The image of the solitary figure, poised against a backdrop of fiery chaos, encapsulates a moment of intense action and profound stillness. This figure, adorned in an "old school puffy down jacket," is an anachronistic anchor, throwing the viewer into a liminal space where time converges. The overall coloration of the print, reminiscent of old film tones, further imbues the scene with a sense of history and gravitas. David Molesky's Artistic Evolution Through "UltraS" The "UltraS" piece is not just an artwork but a historical document and a visual commentary, encapsulating the enthusiasm and the ethos of the streets. By adopting elements from graffiti art, Molesky infuses the piece with authenticity and an edge typically reserved for the most impactful street art. The scrawled "UltraS" on the side of the burning vehicle is a nod to the graffiti tradition, a signature that declares both presence and resistance. This Printer's Proof edition of "UltraS" is a testament to Molesky's artistic maturation. It showcases his willingness to engage with the present, to document it, and to reflect on it through his art. The series demonstrates a clear narrative progression in his work, embracing the current moment with all its complexities and contradictions. The impact of "UltraS" lies in its capacity to transcend the temporal boundaries that often define street art. Molesky's print is a snapshot of a single event and a broader exploration of the human condition amidst societal turmoil. It is a piece that resonates with the urgency of now while simultaneously capturing the echoes of the past. For the art world, "UltraS" represents a significant contribution to the discourse of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. It is a work that demands contemplation, speaks to the soul of the viewer, and invites us to ponder the role of art in reflecting and shaping our perception of historical events. David Molesky's "UltraS" is not just a piece to be viewed; it is an experience to be absorbed, a dialogue to be entered, and a reflection of our world.

I love that the subject is current, and also contains elements that seem from another era. For example, the old school puffy down jacket and the overall color looks a bit like old film tone." - David Molesky David Molesky's "UltraS" in the Landscape of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork David Molesky's "UltraS" emerges as a significant piece within the modern landscape of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, presenting a stirring visual narrative that blends contemporary unrest with a sense of timeless struggle. As a limited edition series, Molesky offers only fifty archival pigment prints on 310gsm fine art paper, each piece signed and numbered, underscoring this work's exclusivity and collectible nature. Sized at an impactful 24x20 inches, "UltraS" is a cornerstone of Molesky's artistic evolution. The artwork transcends the conventional boundaries of street art by integrating the raw vigor of graffiti with the sophisticated depth of fine art. Molesky’s technique is marked by meticulous attention to detail and a rich palette that echoes the hues of historical film tones, infusing the piece with a unique vintage quality despite its contemporary subject. The scene depicted is one of chaotic beauty, set against a backdrop of revolution—a reference to the events that transpired in Kyiv. Through his art, Molesky captures the turbulence of these times, channeling the dynamic energy and emotion that define moments of societal upheaval. In "UltraS," the focal point is the figure clad in an old-school puffy down jacket, a style choice that intentionally bridges eras, connecting the present to the past. This figure is set against the fiery blaze that engulfs what appears to be a derelict vehicle, with the thick smoke and flames rendered with such realism that they seem to leap off the paper. The contrast between the stoic determination of the figure and the destructive environment around him serves as a potent metaphor for resilience in the face of chaos. Molesky’s shift from his prior figurative work to a narrative that embraces artificial objects and contemporary events marks a significant pivot in his artistic journey. By discarding his previous avoidance of temporal elements, he forges a new path that allows him to comment on current events through his art. The "UltraS" series, particularly this piece, reflects this transformation, as Molesky immerses himself in street art's raw, unfiltered essence while maintaining a delicate art sensibility. The significance of "UltraS" within street pop art and graffiti Art lies in its aesthetic, historical relevance, and ability to capture a snapshot of revolutionary spirit. It is a visual exploration of the human condition, a poignant reminder of art's power to document, express, and move. For collectors and enthusiasts, owning a piece of the "UltraS" series is not just an acquisition of visual art but an embrace of a story, a moment in time, and a piece of the artist’s soul. Embracing Modernity and Nostalgia in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork With "UltraS," Molesky delves into a realm where modernity and nostalgia intersect, presenting a visual discourse that is as thought-provoking as it is aesthetically pleasing. The inclusion of graffiti-like elements—such as the word "UltraS" scrawled on the side of the burning vehicle—grounds the work in the street art tradition, a form known for its subversive edge and connection to the voices of the disenchanted and the rebellious. Yet, the chaos is elegant, a curated composition that elevates the piece from mere street art to a form of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork that holds its own in galleries and sophisticated art collections. Molesky's commitment to authenticity and ability to distill complex narratives into a single frame sets "UltraS" apart. In the pop art tradition, it comments on culture and society, but it does so with the grit and earnestness of graffiti, capturing the zeitgeist in a raw and refined way. The limited edition nature of these prints further adds to their value, not just in monetary terms but also in the cultural weight they carry as artifacts of a pivotal era in art. Through "UltraS," David Molesky invites us to reflect on the intersections of art, society, and history. His work is a testament to the enduring power of visual storytelling and the evolving landscape of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, where every stroke, color, and form is imbued with meaning and resonates with the viewer long after the first glance.

"The overall theme of this series was overcoming obstacles and tough times to reach a greater goal, this piece, in particular, referencing the betrayal of Jesus by Judas, which to some may seem like a direct religious or biblical reference, but it, in fact, can be related to our everyday life in the feeling of betrayal which is something we have to deal with from friends, coworkers and sometimes even family/loved ones. It's a very tough thing to get over, and something I wanted to transcend into my painting. This piece, like a lot of my work, was inspired by a renaissance painting. In this case, it was a Caravaggio piece. Coming from a background in graphic design and just design in general, aesthetically I like playing off of symmetry and geometric shapes which bring a more modern take on the renaissance style. Presenting styles in a way our eyes aren't accustomed to viewing them is something that intrigues me." - Jason

    Shadow Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on Museum Fine Art Paper by DAIM Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "In 1989 I wrote my writer’s name for the first time. After all those years I still see this lettering as a self-portrait. By concentrating on a certain idea, the technique or a style, by working on a certain piece for a long time frame, by totally engaging in this process, you get to know a lot about yourself and your personality. And this of course can be seen again in the works, that I create.I wanted to realize something special: The series of these three prints is chosen so that you can reproduce the entire spectrum of my work. My use of the name DAIM is becoming more and more complex in them. My development as a human being strongly corresponds with this process. It has something to do with personal maturing, the general situation of aging." - Daim

    In Your Arms Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by ThankYouX Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 16x20 "I created this print special for 1xRUN. The image shows a girl letting go and throwing her hands up while being taken over by color, feelings, and emotions. It was inspired by a remix I did for a DJ Producer named Michael Woods. The song's lyrics were inspiring and made me want to create something unique.I feel that music and art can be one. When I make music, it makes me want to create more paintings; when I paint, it makes me want to get back in the studio and make more music. I want to continue this Art/Music project for the rest of the year. "- ThankYouX ThankYouX's Artistic Symphony ThankYouX, renowned for his vivid and expressive pieces, has made a distinct mark on modern pop art with his limited edition archival pigment prints. His work "In Your Arms" is a captivating example, blending street art's energy with pop art's sensibility into a creation rich in emotion and color. Released in 2016 as a limited edition of 50, each piece is signed and numbered, making it a treasure for collectors and enthusiasts. "In Your Arms" measures 16x20 inches and is printed on 310gsm fine art paper, a testament to the artist's commitment to quality and longevity. ThankYouX's approach to this piece was inspired by a remix he produced for DJ Michael Woods. The synergy between the music's lyrics and ThankYouX's visual imagination gave birth to an image that captures the essence of letting go, represented by the figure of a girl surrendering to a whirlwind of color and sentiment. This work is an emblem of the artist's belief in the unity of music and visual art. ThankYouX emphasizes the cyclical inspiration he derives from both disciplines, where painting fuels his musical creativity, and music, in turn, urges him to pick up the brush again. The artist intends to sustain this Art/Music project, exploring the harmonious relationship between the auditory and visual realms. Emotional Resonance in Street Pop Art The emotional resonance of "In Your Arms" is palpable; the subject is caught in a moment of ecstatic release, with vibrant splashes of color that seem to emerge from the very soul of the figure. This piece embodies the core of street pop art & graffiti artwork, where the raw and refined converge, and emotion can be as vividly portrayed on paper as on the urban canvas's walls. ThankYouX's work, mainly "In Your Arms," reflects the dynamic street art scene, where storytelling is visceral and direct. The figure's posture, the explosion of hues, and the invisible yet tangible energy emanating from the print are characteristic of street art's expressive power. It is an art that speaks to the eyes and heart, encouraging viewers to feel first and analyze later. In the grand tapestry of street pop art & graffiti artwork, "In Your Arms" is a thread that weaves together the intimacy of personal experience with the universality of music and art. It invites introspection and evokes a sense of shared humanity, bridging the gap between artist and audience. ThankYouX's creation is a reminder of art's enduring capacity to encapsulate and communicate the profound moments of our existence. Collectors of ThankYouX's prints are invited to participate in this symphony of art and music to own a piece of a narrative that transcends the boundaries of traditional art forms. "In Your Arms" is not just a visual treat; it is a sensory journey that encapsulates the artist's vision of a world where art and music dance in unison, enriching the other and creating a legacy that will resonate for years.

Two Girls And Three Tigers illuminates the contemplation of nature, culture, predator vs. prey, and recent travels to Thailand and the middle east.The idea is a culmination of seduction, animal spirit, philosophy of culture and its roll in the idea of predator vs. prey. 1 square inch could take 1 - 5 days depending on how it's working with the painting as a whole. My process can be masochistic. It's a chess match. My roots as an illustrator is that everything is planned out. I'm going against the grain in more of a fine art direction by allowing the painting to guide me, to ask me questions. There are very small to very large details to this piece from color, to shape, and form. These details were in large part not preplanned and a manifestation of content. " - Shark Toof

That led to the idea of life as a dream and the questioning of true reality. After that I started relating it to both the stories of Christ and the Buddha, but since my world is a sort of fairytale western horror it took form the way it did. Once I had the idea and image in mind I got some friends together, rented a car and drove out around Santa Rose, CA. Originally I was going to take a picture near a huge tree somewhere but lucked out and found this great abandoned house. It proved to be the best spot we could have found." - C3

There are lots of sacred symbols that are in this piece that was created with the intention to protect the space that it is hung in. During the time I was experiencing some internal shifts that inspired me to create a piece that served as a protective guardian and the Wolf Archetype strongly embodied that quality. The Wolf Archetype to me resembles a symbol of intelligence as well as a fierce guardian. My work is about creating a reflective mirror that allows the viewer to see within themselves and evoke positive internal shifts. I’ve been exploring combining archetypal symbols with Mandalas that serve as symbols of strength to protect the space they are in as well as remind the viewer of their own internal strength and power." - Chris Saunders

"I had a reference image I took of myself many years ago. I had lost my sketchbook that day and had nothing to paint on, so I started using myself as a model in some kitschy noir-like photo shoot. I always liked the photo and wanted to paint it up, but it wasn't until this show came around that I found a proper place for the image. Though I'm not at all as dramatic, violent, or angry as the painting displays (quite the opposite), it was a lot of fun to roleplay that kind of revengeful character! I've always said painting is kind of my quiet/shy way of acting... I like to paint narratives and covey them in a way that touches emotions and stirs up thought, kind of like a film might." - Sarah Joncas

    Offering- Standard Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Taylor White Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "This is one of a few springboard pieces into my visual exploration of bodies in motion. It evolved from the idea of the phenomenal impact of the human body in space, the dance of the soul, and the flow of forms colliding. When using the body as a tool of explosive expression, one dares to take the journey into a territory that requires immense trust, the sacrifice of oneself on the altar of vulnerability. Dance, if done fully and authentically, renders the soul completely raw. I started studying a form of modern dance called Contact Improvisation, and that study has opened me up to a new set of curiosities which I’ve been able to explore both physically in space, and visually on the page. It became about the point of surrender, of the sacrifice of the ego and all its trappings. To 'dance' on paper has been entirely mind-opening and I’ve tackled it with a renewed spirit." - Taylor White

Black Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Depth and Dimension: The Role of Black in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Black as a Powerful Medium in Urban Art

Black, a color that can be both the absence of light and the amalgamation of all pigments in the art world, holds a fundamental place in the street pop art and graffiti genres. Its multifaceted and profound use provides depth, contrast, and definition. In the hands of artists, black is not merely a color; it's an essential component of visual storytelling that can convey various themes and emotions, from the stark and severe to the rich and sophisticated.

Techniques Embracing the Intensity of Black

The techniques used to apply black in urban artwork are as diverse as the artists themselves. It can be found in the sharp lines of stencils that cut through the noise of colorful backdrops or in the swirling shadows that give murals a sense of life and movement. Black often outlines figures and shapes, making them pop from their surroundings and granting them an arresting visual clarity. In addition, the texture of black paint or ink can range from a matte finish that absorbs light, creating a void-like effect, to a glossy sheen that suggests a sleek, modern aesthetic. Culturally, black carries significant weight. It can symbolize rebellion or conformity, chaos or order, nothingness, or the complex integration of all that is colorful. In street pop art and graffiti, black is commonly associated with the underground, the edgy, and the avant-garde. It is the color of the night, the urban, and the unknown. Black's ability to make other colors stand out while still commanding its presence makes it a powerful tool for artists seeking to challenge norms and make bold statements.

Compositional Balance and Boldness with Black

In composition, black's role is unparalleled. It offers an anchor within the artwork, a point of return for the eye amidst the visual excitement of brighter hues. Using black can balance a piece, adding a sense of stability and grounding. However, it also has the power to dominate, to turn a multicolored mural into a monochromatic statement, or to bring a sense of solemnity and gravity to street pop art and graffiti pieces. The future of black in street pop art and graffiti artwork looks as solid as the color itself. As urban art continues to evolve, the applications and symbolism of black are likely to deepen and diversify. New materials and methods will expand the range of textures and finishes available to artists, from the blackest blacks that absorb nearly all light to reflective surfaces that play with the urban environment's illumination. In street pop art and graffiti, black is a foundational element, a color as essential as the spaces it adorns. It is a color that speaks in whispers and shouts, a color that refuses to be silent, and a color that, paradoxically, brings the vibrant world of urban art to life. Whether used with precision or with wild abandon, black remains a testament to the enduring power and versatility of color in the hands of those who seek to transform the cityscape into a canvas of personal expression and public engagement.
