Saber Coronavirus Quarantine Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber
Coronavirus Quarantine Multi Tagged Original Slap-Up Label Marker Painting/Drawing Art on Warning Label by Tru Graffiti Legend Saber Urban Street Artist. 2020 Signed Marker Original Coronavirus Quarantine Yellow Biohazard Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 7x5 Multi Tagged on High Visibility Virus Covid-19 Warning Label Red, Purple & Silver Marker. Confronting a Global Crisis through Street Pop Art The 'Coronavirus Quarantine' multi-tagged original slap-up label marker painting/drawing by the urban street artist Saber captures the zeitgeist of an era dominated by the pandemic. This 2020 signed marker original is more than a piece of graffiti artwork; it is a historical document that encapsulates a moment when the world grappled with the unprecedented challenge of COVID-19. Saber, known for his influential role in the graffiti art scene, takes a high-visibility yellow biohazard slap-up label, a symbol now ubiquitously associated with the virus, and transforms it into a canvas. The dimensions of the work, 7x5 inches, might seem modest, but the impact of the art could be better. Through his use of vibrant and chaotic tags that overlay the stark warning of 'Coronavirus Quarantine,' Saber disrupts the alarming message of the label, inviting contemplation on the nature of the pandemic that extends beyond fear and caution. The piece is a profound commentary on global affairs during the COVID-19 crisis. The graffiti artist's tags subverted the choice to use a warning label, a helpful object designed to communicate danger and command obedience. The tags, often considered an act of defiance in public spaces, here challenge the narrative of the pandemic by bringing an individualistic and human touch to the impersonal and clinical warning label. Impact of Saber's Art in the Context of Street Pop Art In the context of street pop art, Saber's 'Coronavirus Quarantine' piece stands out as a poignant reflection of the times. Street art has always had the unique ability to engage with its audience directly and urgently. In this instance, the art serves as a visual expression of the collective angst, confusion, and resilience experienced during the quarantine periods. Saber's artwork, juxtaposing the form of formal, almost anarchic graffiti tags, speaks to the unchecked nature of the public's response to the pandemic—order and disorder, compliance and rebellion. 2020 will be remembered for its seismic shifts in global health, economies, and societies. In this climate, street pop art and graffiti artwork like Saber's serve as markers of resistance and reminders of human endurance. The biohazard slap-up label, once a mere functional sign, is recontextualized as a piece of art that provokes, questions, and endures, much like the human spirit during the trials of the pandemic. Saber, the American artist behind this impactful work, has once again demonstrated why he is regarded as a legend in the graffiti world. His ability to take the pulse of society and translate it into art that is both provocative and reflective ensures that his work remains relevant and resonant, not just within the street art community but also among those who encounter his art in the very public spaces that the coronavirus pandemic has so markedly changed.
