  • Coco Chanel Riskoleum AP Giclee Print by Risk Rock

    Risk Rock Coco Chanel Riskoleum AP Giclee Print by Risk Rock

    Coco Chanel Riskoleum Artwork Giclee Limited Edition Print on Coventry Rag Archival Paper by Pop Culture Graffiti Artist Risk. AP Artist Proof Signed & Marked AP Giclee Print on Coventry Rag Archival Paper. A special commission print for LA Fashion week 2017, dated 2016. Hand-signed & numbered. 18x14in Riskoleum: Fashion Meets Graffiti in a Limited Edition Tribute The Coco Chanel Riskoleum limited edition print by graffiti pioneer Kelly Graval, known as Risk, captures the energy of fashion and street culture in one striking composition. Created as a special commission for LA Fashion Week 2017, the piece merges the high-fashion elegance of Chanel with the gritty authenticity of spray can iconography. Measuring 18 by 14 inches and printed on Coventry Rag archival paper, this artist proof giclée is hand-signed and marked AP, reflecting the collectible nature of both the subject and the medium. In classic Risk style, it transforms a utilitarian object—the spray can—into a canvas for fashion commentary. Risk’s Signature Fusion of Color and Culture Risk emerged from the graffiti scene in Los Angeles during the 1980s and became a central figure in bringing graffiti from the streets into galleries. His work often plays with the aesthetics of branding, color theory, and popular symbolism. The Riskoleum series, a parody of commercial paint brands, is one of his most recognizable contributions to the crossover of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork into the mainstream art world. With the Coco Chanel edition, Risk injects luxury into this urban framework, blending the iconic elegance of Chanel with the rawness of aerosol culture. The spray can becomes a metaphor for self-expression, empowerment, and redefinition of style. The Dialogue Between Fashion and Graffiti The artwork does more than just feature the Chanel name. It represents how graffiti artists have reimagined traditional fashion tropes through the lens of street culture. The stencil-style layering, color fields, and spray techniques used in the Riskoleum format contrast sharply with the legacy of haute couture. Yet, it is precisely this tension that gives the work its power. The overlay of Coco Chanel’s influence on a street tool of expression invites reflection on how style evolves from both sidewalk and runway. Risk shows that graffiti and high fashion are not opposites, but collaborators in a new visual era. A Celebrated Edition for Collectors and Culture Enthusiasts As an artist proof from a limited run, this Coco Chanel Riskoleum print stands as both a critique and celebration. Commissioned for a prominent fashion event, it connects the world of design with the rebellious edge of graffiti. Printed on Coventry Rag paper using archival inks, the giclée process gives depth and longevity to the piece, while preserving the vibrant layers that Risk is known for. The work is not just a visual pun—it is a statement about individuality, beauty, and the power of art to cross cultural boundaries. Risk continues to shape the conversation around Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, proving once again that style can be both sprayed and sewn.

California Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

The Vibrancy of California's Street Pop Art and Graffiti Scene

California, a state known for its vibrant culture and diverse populace, has long been a canvas for a rich tapestry of street pop art and graffiti artwork. The walls of its bustling cities tell stories through murals, tags, and stencils, each a piece of a giant cultural puzzle. From the historic graffiti lanes in Los Angeles to the politically charged murals of San Francisco, California's urban landscape serves as a dynamic backdrop for artists to express their creativity, dissent, and hopes. This artistic fervor is not merely a modern phenomenon; it traces back to the state's Chicano mural movement of the 1960s and 70s, which saw walls become the voice of the marginalized, the canvas for social change. Today, the state's graffiti art continues to evolve, with artists like RETNA (Marquis Lewis), Shepard Fairey, and COCO 144 (Ulysses Dove) contributing to a continuously unfolding narrative. These artists, known for their distinctive styles and contributions to street art's visual and cultural dialogue, come from diverse backgrounds but share the Californian experience in their work.

California as a Cultural Hub for Street Pop Art

As one delves deeper into the Californian street art scene, it becomes apparent that the state is a melting pot of artistic styles, including street pop art - a genre that combines street art techniques with pop art subjects. This genre has been blossoming on the West Coast, with California being a fertile ground for its growth. Cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, and Oakland have become galleries without walls, where street pop art exists and thrives. In these urban spaces, the art form has found a welcoming community that champions its existence and evolution. The murals and installations that adorn the streets of California's cities reflect many influences, from the Golden State's cinematic legacy to its technological frontiers, echoing California's role as a trendsetter in various domains. Artists have utilized street pop art to comment on the state's socio-political climate, environmental challenges, and iconic status in the global imagination.

Legacy and Evolution of Graffiti Artwork in California

The trajectory of graffiti artwork in California is a narrative of change, resilience, and adaptation. The state's graffiti began as a form of street-level communication, with roots in tagging and traditional graffiti, but has since expanded into complex, muralistic works that rival the finesse of fine art. This expansion has seen artists like David Choe and the late Mike "Dream" Francisco transform graffiti into a respected art form capable of conveying profound messages and commanding high economic value. The evolution of California's graffiti has been documented and celebrated in various venues, from street corners to sophisticated art galleries and museums, indicating a shift in perception towards this art form. However, the essence of graffiti as a tool for unfiltered expression remains intact, with the state's streets continuing to serve as a battleground for issues of public space, art, and freedom of speech. California's role in the global street art scene is as significant as it is complex. The state's artists have been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of street pop art and graffiti, both in form and substance. This has established California as a significant node in the international street art network, influencing and being influenced by global trends and dialogues. The state's unique cultural and geographical landscape has allowed for a diverse range of expressions within street art, ensuring that its walls will continue to be a place of conversation, innovation, and reflection for artists and audiences alike. The legacy of street art in California is one of diversity, innovation, and unceasing evolution, a testament to the state's standing as a cultural powerhouse.
