    David Foox Trinity Mao PP Giclee Print by David Foox

    Trinity Mao Limited Edition Giclee Print on 330gsm archival cotton paper by David Foox counter-culture street artist art. PP Printers Proof 2011 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 5.5x12.5 "The three-headed Mao represents the mental dictatorship of the different faculties of human perception. The two third eyes on the left and right represent both the left (logic and reason) and the right (creativity and emotionality) as well as the negative and positive effects of the duality of the pineal gland i.e. the mind's ability to endow inanimate objects or ideas with spiritual value. The third and center Mao head represents the objective self and the pineal gland is represented by the tetragrametron which signifies the god consciousness, and the infinite unchanging laws of mathematics, chemistry, and physics. The rabbit represents the animalistic forces of nature that embue the constellations with life, and the pyramid represents the human urge to transform matter into a perfect form." - by Liam McMullan on behalf of artist David Foox (FOOX)

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Be Reasonable Suburban Pressure Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Jamie Reid

    Be Reasonable Suburban Pressure Hand-Pulled 3-Color Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey x Jamie Reid Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 375 Artwork Size 18x24 Be Reasonable Urban Pressure Set Suburban Pressure Sex Pistols Music Tribute With Burning Money Mao From China and ROnald Regan "The Sex Pistols changed my life. When I was a 14-year-old skateboarder, a friend played me “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,” and that moment marked a turning point for me. The Sex Pistols provided the adrenaline-inducing soundtrack for my rebellion. If the Sex Pistols provided the soundtrack, the artist behind their imagery, Jamie Reid, provided the visuals for the revolution. Jamie Reid did the iconic art for the Sex Pistols like the “God Save the Queen” sleeve, the “Pretty Vacant” sleeve, and the cover for the album “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols.” Jamie deserves the majority of credit for the daring aesthetics of Punk Rock. If you’ve ever seen a photocopied, ransom note style, cut & paste punk graphic, then you’ve seen Jamie Reid’s influence. Jamie has been one of my biggest creative inspirations both visually and philosophically, because his work is bold, provocative, irreverent, and political. Jamie Reid also turned me on to Situationism, a movement dedicated to disrupting the conformist trance through pranks and spectacles. I’m honored that I have been able to work with Jamie on some collaborative images and to present a special collection through Obey Clothing in his honor, as well as two limited edition screen-prints. Jamie and I have mutual interest in shaking things up and addressing the problems of corruption, environmental destruction, and wealth inequality, so it is very energizing and meaningful to do a project with him. Enjoy and embrace the chaos!" -Shepard Fairey

    Heist Eyes HPM Stencil Spray Paint Silkscreen by Prefab77 Hand-Painted Multiple on 300gsm Somerset Fine Art Paper Unique Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2023 Signed & Numbered Edition of 60 HPM Unique Hand Painted Spray Paint Stencil Artwork Size 15x22 Silkscreen of Close Up of Woman's Eyes With Pop Culture Figures. Diving deep into the world of modern pop and street art, one can't help but be captivated by the hand-painted creations of PREFAB77. The artist, known for blending unique graffiti techniques with elements of pop culture, has yet again introduced an exceptional piece titled “Heist Eyes”. This artwork is a brilliant amalgamation of stencil spray paint and silkscreen techniques, seamlessly marrying the two art forms. Set on a high-quality 300gsm Somerset Fine Art Paper, the “Heist Eyes” showcases a close-up of a woman's gaze, fierce and mysterious. The eyes, being the windows to the soul, are central in this artwork, perhaps symbolizing the depth and layers of our modern culture. What's unique about this particular piece is its intricate details. Not only does it present the intense gaze, but it also intricately intertwines elements of pop culture, serving both as a reflection of contemporary society and a warning of the fleeting nature of fame and recognition. This piece is not just any regular print; it's a hand-painted multiple (HPM). This means each piece, though part of a series, has its own unique touch. The utilization of seven distinct colors brings life to the print, and the luxurious layer of UV black ink against a hand-painted background only adds to its allure. With only 60 pieces in existence, each signed, stamped, and numbered, it truly is a testament to PREFAB77's dedication to craftsmanship and exclusivity. In the realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti art, such works emphasize the evolution of traditional art forms. They signify a move from the conventional to the contemporary, bringing in fresh perspectives while keeping rooted in authentic techniques. The “Heist Eyes” is not just a piece of art; it's a narrative of the times we live in, urging viewers to delve deeper, to look beyond the surface, and to interpret the myriad of stories it seeks to tell.

China Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Emergence of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork in China

The cultural landscape of China has undergone significant transformation in recent decades, and with it has emerged a vibrant street pop art and graffiti artwork scene. In cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, the once-muted walls have become canvases for artists to express their creativity, social messages, and individuality. This development marks a significant shift in a country known for its stringent control over public expression. It provides a fascinating lens through which to view the changing dynamics of Chinese society. Initially viewed as a form of Western cultural invasion, street art in China has gradually gained acceptance, evolving into a unique art form that interweaves traditional Chinese aesthetics with contemporary global influences. Chinese street artists have begun to establish their unique identity, harnessing the visual language of graffiti to explore and challenge societal norms. This has not been without difficulty, as the practice often operates in a grey area of legality, with artists frequently having to balance their desire for self-expression with the need to navigate the complexities of local regulations.

Cultural Significance and Expression in Chinese Street Art

The cultural significance of street pop and graffiti artwork in China is multilayered. On one level, it serves as a medium for younger generations to connect with global art movements, asserting their place in the international dialogue. On the other hand, it acts as a subtle means of social commentary, reflecting the thoughts and concerns of Chinese citizens in an environment where such freedoms can be limited. The imagery in Chinese street art often incorporates symbols of traditional culture, such as dragons or calligraphy, juxtaposed with modern motifs and techniques, creating a visual representation of China's rapid modernization and the resulting cultural tensions. Artists in China have also utilized street art to bring attention to issues such as environmentalism, consumerism, and the pressures of urban life. These artworks often possess a poignancy amplified by their setting—existing amidst the bustle of rapidly expanding cities, they provide moments of reflection and critique for passersby. This has established street pop art and graffiti artwork as an aesthetic addition to the urban landscape and a conduit for social and environmental discourse.

The Evolving Aesthetic of Chinese Street Pop Art and Graffiti

The aesthetic of street pop and graffiti artwork in China continues to evolve, with artists pushing the boundaries of style and content. The color palettes, subject matters, and techniques reflect a global influence yet retain a distinctly Chinese character. The work of pioneering artists has begun to garner international attention, positioning Chinese street art as an exciting and emerging force in the global art community. As the Chinese street art scene matures, it has started to receive recognition and support from sectors of the public and private realms. Art districts in major cities have become hubs for street artists to legally create and display their work, attracting tourists and art enthusiasts alike. This has prompted a shift in perception, with street art increasingly viewed as a legitimate and valuable cultural expression.

Future Trajectories of Street Art in China

The future trajectories of street art in China point toward a continued blending of tradition and innovation. As the country's international presence grows, so does the cross-cultural exchange of ideas and artistic methods. This exchange promises to enrich the Chinese street art scene, offering new avenues for expression and collaboration. The role of street pop art and graffiti artwork in the cultural fabric of China is a testament to the power of art to transcend boundaries and act as a mirror to society. Today's limited edition prints and public murals are not only works of art but also historical documents, capturing the pulse of a nation at a crossroads. Chinese street art stands as a vibrant chapter in the ongoing story of China's development, a chapter that will continue to unfold in unexpected and compelling ways.
