Walk on the Wild Side Mixed Media Silkscreen Print by Faile Acrylic Spray Paint on Hand-Pulled Deckled Thick Lennox Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18.11x25 Silkscreen Print, Acrylic Paint & Spray Paint Mixed Media. Faile Barking Dog Pasters on Brick Wall as Calssy Woman with Dog Walks By in New York City. Exploring the Urban Narrative: "Walk on the Wild Side" by Faile Faile's "Walk on the Wild Side" mixed media silkscreen print is a compelling testament to the dynamic interplay between street pop art and graffiti artwork. This limited edition piece, with only a hundred prints in existence, encapsulates the vibrancy of urban life through its meticulously crafted layers of acrylic and spray paint on hand-pulled deckled thick Lenox fine art paper. Measuring 18.11x25 inches, this artwork is not merely a visual statement but a narrative woven into New York City's aesthetic dialogue. Faile, a collaborative duo known for their impactful art that often adorns urban environments, has brought the street's essence onto a tangible canvas. Their use of the iconic barking dog — a motif recurrent in their work — set against a brick wall background speaks volumes of the city's untamed energy. The contrast between the grit of the street and the polished appearance of the passing woman with her dog creates a juxtaposition at the heart of street pop art. This imagery captures the essence of New York's diverse character, where the refined and the rough-hewn exist side by side. The silkscreen print technique employed by Faile for this artwork is a nod to traditional pop art methods, yet the inclusion of acrylic and spray paint introduces a tactile depth often found in graffiti. The choice of materials — the thick Lenox fine art paper with its raw, deckled edges — further emphasizes the blend of the refined with the urban edge. Each element of the print, from the medium to the imagery, is a deliberate choice that underscores the narrative of coexistence and contrast. Symbolism and Style in Faile's Street-Inspired Artistry The symbolism in "Walk on the Wild Side" is multilayered, with the barking dog pasters as a signature of Faile's street heritage. These posters, often seen on the city's brick walls, represent the voice of the streets — loud, unapologetic, and fiercely territorial. By transplanting this symbol onto fine art paper, Faile bridges the gap between street art's transient nature and the permanence sought by fine art collectors. The woman, depicted in a classic, almost vintage style, and her domesticated dog starkly contrast the wild, untamed expression of the barking dog pasters. It's a visual play on the duality of man's nature and the societal norms that govern our public personas versus our inner instincts. Faile's style in this print is unmistakably rooted in street pop art. The bold lines, stark contrasts, and the layering of different media all indicate an aesthetic that has evolved from the streets. Their work often reflects the visual noise of the city — the advertisements, the political posters, the graffiti — all competing for attention. "Walk on the Wild Side" is a curated slice of this chaos, presented with a clarity that allows each element to be appreciated for its merit and contribution to the whole. The Cultural Resonance of Faile's Mixed Media Print "Walk on the Wild Side" is not just an artwork; it's a cultural artifact that resonates with the heartbeat of New York City. Faile has captured a moment in time, a scene that plays out daily on the sidewalks of the metropolis, and elevated it to a piece of art that commands contemplation. The silkscreen print serves as a reminder of the city's relentless pace, the ever-present clash of cultures, and the beauty that arises from unexpected combinations. This work is a celebration of the city's identity, a snapshot of the mundane transformed into the extraordinary through the lens of street pop art and graffiti. The limited edition nature of the print adds an element of exclusivity, creating a tangible connection between the owner and the city's street art scene. Signed and numbered by the artists, each print is an original piece of Faile's artistic legacy. Collectors of "Walk on the Wild Side" are not just acquiring a piece of art; they are preserving a fragment of the city's cultural narrative that continues to influence the trajectory of street pop art and graffiti artwork globally. In the end, "Walk on the Wild Side" by Faile is more than a mixed media silkscreen print; it is an emblem of the street's voice, a dialogue between the wild and the cultivated, and a testament to the enduring allure of urban art. It encapsulates the essence of a city that is both a canvas and a muse, continually inspiring artists like Faile to create works as provocative as they are visually arresting.

⁠ "The title of this image comes from a line in the poem, "Painted Landscapes Deceive Me -- Dancing Between Angels and Angles". This was a reference to Marie Antoinette arriving in Strasbourg when she first became queen and the faux painted landscapes placed outside her window, created to make her feel welcome. A further reference to De Stijl and Aubette Dance Hall with the angled and rectilinear lines the movement was known for. Along with its proximity to the Cathedral and the angels that grace its walls. Bubbles sort of fly loosely and dance through space, somewhat the antithesis of what De Stijl conveyed but a nice reference to movement. We liked the idea of the girl tearing away the perceptions built up around her while trying not to lose herself." -Faile Artistic Narratives in Motion: The Tale of "Dancing Between Angels/Love Stories B-Side" by Faile "Dancing Between Angels/Love Stories B-Side," a compelling artwork by the artist collective Faile, is a testament to the intricate layering and storytelling inherent in street pop art & graffiti artwork. This limited edition piece, a hand-painted varied edition of 22, is a 24-color hand-pulled silkscreen print embellished with acrylic, silkscreen ink, and spray paint on deckled 310 gsm Coventry Rag paper. Spanning 28 x 40 inches, each print is signed, stamped, and embossed and carries a unique narrative that intertwines historical references with a modern artistic lexicon.

We liked the idea of the girl tearing away the perceptions built up around her while trying not to lose herself." -Faile. Deconstructing Historical Illusions: Faile's Interpretive Canvas The narrative behind "Dancing Between Angels/Love Stories B-Side" draws from a rich tapestry of historical and artistic references. Inspired by a poem, the title alludes to the deceptive pastoral landscapes presented to Marie Antoinette upon her arrival in Strasbourg, designed to create an illusion of welcome and grandeur. Faile extends this metaphor to explore the concepts of perception and self within the framework of pop and street art. The work visually explores tearing away layers of pretense, a spirited dance between reality and artifice. The piece also pays homage to De Stijl, a Dutch artistic movement emphasizing abstraction and geometric forms. The sharp angles and rectilinear lines characteristic of De Stijl are present in the artwork, juxtaposed with the organic forms of bubbles and the fluidity of the central figure. This contrast is a deliberate nod to movement and dynamism, challenging the rigidity of De Stijl with the fleeting dance of bubbles through space. Movement and Metaphor: Faile's Fusion of Dance and Art At the heart of Faile's creation is the depiction of a female figure caught tearing through the facades surrounding her. This act is literal and symbolic, a dance of liberation that reveals the layers beneath the surface. The figure's upward reach and poised legs evoke a sense of balletic grace, suggesting that tearing away deception is as elegant as forceful. The angels and architectural elements referenced in the artwork serve to anchor the piece within a broader historical narrative, connecting the transient nature of street art with the permanence of cultural heritage. Including these elements creates a dialogue between the past and the present, infusing the work with a sense of timelessness. Visual Poetry: The Rhythmic Allure of Faile's Work "Dancing Between Angels/Love Stories B-Side" is, in essence, a visual poem that speaks to the heart of street pop art & graffiti artwork. It is a dance of colors and forms, a rhythmic composition that transcends the confines of its medium. Faile's work captures the spirit of pop art's dialogue with popular culture, blending it with the subversive edge of street art to create something wholly new and deeply resonant. Each print of this limited edition is a narrative fragment, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork on multiple levels. The dance depicted in the print is not just physical; it is an emotional and psychological journey, a dance of the soul that mirrors the complexity and vibrancy of the human experience. In the diverse world of street pop art & graffiti artwork, "Dancing Between Angels/Love Stories B-Side" by Faile is a powerful expression of the genre's capacity for storytelling and emotional depth. It stands as a reminder that art can be a vehicle for examining our perceptions, tearing away the layers that obscure truth, and celebrating the liberating power of dance and movement.
