    Purchase Cici N'est Pas Une Mickey Mouse PP Printer Proof Archival Print by Shark Toof Limited Edition Print on 310gsm Fine Art Paper Pop Artist Modern Artwork. PP Printers Proof 2018 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x18 Archival Pigment Fine Art. Cici N'est Pas Une Mickey Mouse, or "This is Not a Mickey Mouse" Exploring "Ceci N'est Pas Une Mickey Mouse" by Shark Toof "Ceci N'est Pas Une Mickey Mouse" is a Printer's Proof (PP) archival print that illuminates Shark Toof's presence in the contemporary pop art movement. Produced in 2018, this work is an artistic assertion, signed and marked PP, signifying its authenticity and rarity as a limited edition. Printed on 310gsm Fine Art Paper, the artwork employs archival pigment, ensuring that the vibrancy of its colors and the precision of its lines endure. The artwork, with dimensions of 24x18 inches, offers a substantial visual impact, reflecting the artist's intent to blend the world of street pop art with the finesse of fine art. Street Pop Art and Iconic Imagery In this piece, Shark Toof takes on the iconic image of Mickey Mouse, transforming it into a work that transcends the boundaries of graffiti and street pop art. Mickey Mouse, created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, symbolizes childhood innocence and American popular culture since 1928. Shark Toof's rendition challenges this benign image, presenting an iteration that compels viewers to confront the layered meanings behind such a globally recognized symbol. By doing so, Shark Toof partakes in the grand tradition of pop art—recontextualizing familiar imagery to provoke thought and dialogue. Contemporary Reflections in Modern Art The piece's title, "Ceci N'est Pas Une Mickey Mouse," directly references René Magritte's "The Treachery of Images," a work that challenges observers' perceptions of reality. Similarly, Shark Toof's artwork invites the audience to reconsider the image of Mickey Mouse, asking them to delve deeper into their understanding of pop culture icons and their significance. This piece does not merely represent Mickey Mouse; it is a complex commentary on the character as a cultural product and its ubiquitous presence in the collective consciousness. Shark Toof uses a collage of disparate elements to compose the figure, hinting at the multifaceted nature of Mickey Mouse as a character that has been reinvented and reinterpreted over decades—the sharp teeth and fragmented composition critique childhood's commercialization and consumer culture's predatory nature. Shark Toof's Mickey Mouse symbolizes the loss of innocence in the face of commercial exploitation. Fine art paper and archival pigment position this piece within the discourse of art preservation, juxtaposing the ephemeral nature of street art with the permanence sought by fine artworks. In doing so, Shark Toof elevates the status of street pop art, aligning it with traditional art forms and ensuring its legacy. "Ceci N'est Pas Une Mickey Mouse" is a testament to Shark Toof's ability to navigate the interstices of pop culture, street art, and high art. His work declares that street pop art and graffiti artwork are not just fleeting visuals in the urban landscape but are significant statements with the power to influence, critique, and enrich the art world. Through this piece, Shark Toof contributes to the ongoing conversation about the role and impact of popular culture in art, urging us to reflect on the images we consume and the meanings we ascribe to them.

  • Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob PP Archival Print by Shark Toof

    Shark Toof Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob PP Archival Print by Shark Toof

    Purchase Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob PP Archival Print by Shark Toof Limited Edition Print on 310gsm Museum Fine Art Paper Pop Artist Modern Artwork. PP Printers Proof 2019 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x18 Archival Pigment Fine Art. "Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob, This Is Not A Spongebob" Decoding "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob" by Shark Toof "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob" is a provocative piece by the renowned street pop artist Shark Toof, challenging the boundaries of pop culture iconography within the context of modern street art. The artwork is a Printer's Proof (PP) archival print from 2019, meticulously signed and marked by the artist, denoting its status as a rare collector's item. Printed on 310gsm Museum Fine Art Paper, this piece exemplifies the high-quality medium Shark Toof employs to ensure durability and depth of color, crucial for the archival pigment fine art that this work represents. A Fusion of Street Art and Pop Culture This piece is a testament to the collision of street pop art and graffiti artwork with mainstream pop culture symbols. Shark Toof takes the universally recognized figure of SpongeBob SquarePants and distorts it, presenting an image that both acknowledges and subverts the original character. The title itself, a nod to René Magritte's "The Treachery of Images," prompts viewers to question the nature of representation and reality in art. Shark Toof's work suggests that the image of SpongeBob we see is not the character itself but a representation skewed by the artist's perspective and the cultural context in which it is viewed. Shark Toof's Artistic Commentary In "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob," Shark Toof is not simply replicating a beloved character; he is initiating a dialogue about the saturation of media icons in society and the consumption of these images. The distortion and decomposition of SpongeBob's features invite the audience to reflect on how mass media shapes and sometimes distorts our perceptions. This work captures the spirit of street pop art by using graffiti artwork's spontaneous and rebellious essence to comment on and criticize phenomena. The layered textures and vibrant colors reveal the complex relationship between commercial imagery and artistic expression. The art piece explores the tension between street art's ephemeral nature and fine art prints' enduring quality. Shark Toof bridges two seemingly disparate worlds by choosing SpongeBob, an icon from an animated children's show, and placing it in the sophisticated realm of limited edition prints. This juxtaposition challenges the viewer's understanding of what constitutes 'legitimate' art, questioning the hierarchies within the art world. Through "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob," Shark Toof contributes to the discourse on the value and significance of street pop art and graffiti artwork in contemporary culture. By recontextualizing a figure from the lexicon of popular media, he endows it with new meaning and elevates it within the art canon. This artwork is a visual spectacle with an intellectual engagement, prompting conversations about the nature of art, media's influence, and street art's power to transform and transcend ordinary objects and characters into extraordinary pieces of cultural commentary.

Cartoon
Cartoons have been an integral part of pop culture since the early 20th century, and their influence can be seen in many forms of art, including graffiti and pop art. In this essay, I will explore how cartoons have become a popular subject in graffiti art and pop art and how they have evolved over time. Graffiti art is a form of urban art that involves writing or drawing on public walls, buildings, or other surfaces. Cartoons have been a popular subject in graffiti art since the early days of the movement. Graffiti artists often use cartoon characters to express their ideas and opinions, and to add a touch of humor to their work. One of the most famous examples of cartoon-inspired graffiti art is the work of the artist Banksy. Banksy often incorporates humorous and satirical cartoons into his work, such as the image of a rat wearing a beret and holding a paintbrush, which has become one of his signature images. Cartoon-inspired graffiti art has also become popular in the hip-hop and skateboarding communities. Many graffiti artists use cartoon characters from popular cartoons such as Looney Tunes, The Simpsons, and South Park to create their art. These characters are often depicted in a humorous or subversive way, which adds an element of rebellion and anti-authoritarianism to the artwork. Pop art is another form of art that has been influenced by cartoons. Pop art emerged in the 1950s and 60s and was characterized by its use of popular culture and consumerism as subject matter. Cartoon characters were often used in pop art as a way to comment on the mass media and consumer culture. For example, the artist Roy Lichtenstein created paintings and prints that were based on comic book images. His work often featured large, bold lines and bright colors, which were similar to the style of comic books. Another famous pop artist who used cartoons in his work was Andy Warhol. Warhol created a series of paintings based on the comic strip character, Superman. These paintings were meant to comment on the American fascination with superheroes and the consumer culture that surrounded them. Warhol also created a series of prints based on the famous comic book character, Mickey Mouse. Cartoons have continued to influence pop art in more recent years. The artist Takashi Murakami, for example, has created a series of paintings and sculptures based on the Japanese cartoon character, Doraemon. Murakami's work is often described as "superflat," a term that refers to the flattening of traditional Japanese art and the use of bright colors and bold lines. Murakami's use of Doraemon in his work is a nod to the influence of cartoons on Japanese popular culture. Cartoons have become a popular subject in both graffiti art and pop art. They have been used to comment on consumer culture, to add humor and satire to artwork, and to express rebellion and anti-authoritarianism. The use of cartoons in art has evolved over time, but they continue to be a powerful source of inspiration for artists today.
