    Skewville Yo Yo Radio 2016 Silkscreen Print by Skewville

    Yo Yo- Tar Paper Limited Edition Metallic Silkscreen Ink on Hand Cut Organic Roofing Asphalt Felt by Graffiti Street Artist Skewville 2016 Hand Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 80 Artwork Extra Thick Tar Paper Size 24x16 " A while ago we got an opportunity to paint a building that looked like a giant radio. So we painted a giant radio on it. Since then I wanted to pay a long over-due homage to this building in Bushwick, Brooklyn that no longer exists. The original mural was just flat black with metallic silver spray paint, so when I decided to finally make a print I felt like it had to have that same feel. So the only way I know how to get that really thick metallic look is to silkscreen print it with good ol' plastisol on tar paper." - Ad Deville of Skewville

    Priority 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Skewville Original Permanent Marker Art Drawing on USPS Mailing Label by Graffiti Artist Modern Street Artwork. 2021 Signed Original Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 4x5.5 Marker Tagged on USPS United States Postal Service Mail Label Sticker 228-2016.  Skewville and the Art of the Slap-Up: A Street Art Staple The urban art landscape is adorned with various forms of expression, and one pivotal figure who has contributed significantly to this vibrant scene is the artist known as Skewville. With the 'Priority 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker', Skewville offers a quintessential piece that epitomizes the slap-up style of graffiti art. This art form, which utilizes stickers - often postal labels - as the medium, has been a cornerstone of Skewville's work, allowing for a distribution of his art that transcends geographical boundaries.  Dissecting the Slap-Up Phenomenon The 'Priority 228-2016' piece by Skewville is a signed original featuring a robust slap-up tag rendered in permanent marker on a USPS mailing label. Measuring 4x5.5 inches, this work is emblematic of the artist's signature style - bold, assertive, and unapologetically street. The choice of the USPS label is deliberate and indicative of the slap-up genre, which often employs ready-made, adhesive surfaces to create art that can easily be affixed to various urban fixtures, thus integrating the artwork seamlessly into the city's fabric. Skewville's Artistic Influence and Legacy Skewville's work is not merely an act of artistic expression but a statement on the accessibility and democratization of art. By choosing to work with inherently mundane and practical materials, Skewville elevates the ordinary into the extraordinary. His tags, a visual signature, become synonymous with their environments, reflecting the artist's dialogue with the urban landscape. The impact of such works is significant, offering an uncurated and spontaneous encounter with art available to all who traverse the cityscape. Skewville's 'Priority 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker' is more than just a piece of street pop art; it is a testament to the genre's enduring appeal and ability to communicate complex narratives through simple, powerful visual gestures.

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.
