    Eddie Colla Salvage Can 3 Original Spray Paint Can Sculpture Painting Eddie Colla

    Salvage Can 3 Original Painting on Spray Paint Can Mixed Media Sculpture Artwork by street artist graffiti legend Eddie Colla. 2018 Signed Original Spray Paint Acrylic Mixed Media on Spray Paint Can Artwork Size 3x8 "I made this series of cans in China in 2018. I had been waiting for supplies to start working on larger pieces. The residency where I was had kept all their empty spray cans. I started making these small pieces from the used spray cans. It wasn't anything I planned; I just had an unexpected amount of free time waiting for my materials to arrive, so I worked with what was available. Each can is signed and dated on the bottom of the can." -Eddie Colla. Eddie Colla's Creative Philosophy "Salvage Can 3" by Eddie Colla is a striking mixed-media sculpture that exemplifies the innovative nature of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Created in 2018 as part of a series during a residency in China, this artwork represents a unique fusion of spontaneity and intentionality that defines Colla's approach to art. Utilizing discarded spray paint cans as his canvas, Colla transformed these objects into thought-provoking artworks, each signed and dated, capturing his signature style and commentary on contemporary issues.

The figure depicted on the can, partially obscured by what appears to be a mask, invites viewers to ponder themes of identity, concealment, and the human condition in the modern world. Using spray paint and acrylic, traditional mediums in graffiti artwork, on an unconventional substrate highlights Colla's skills in mixed media and his ability to push the boundaries of street pop art.

"Salvage Can 3," like the rest of the series, is more than an object of visual intrigue; it is a commentary on the times and an expression of individuality amidst collective narratives. Colla's work is renowned for its critical engagement with socio-political themes, and this piece is no exception. It is a cultural artifact that challenges viewers to question and reflect, embodying the rebellious spirit that often characterizes graffiti art.

Coronavirus Covid 19 Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork in the Time of Coronavirus Covid-19

The Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic has been a global crisis with profound impacts on every aspect of life, including the arts. As forms of public expression, street pop art and graffiti artwork have been particularly active in commenting on and reflecting the societal changes and emotional landscapes shaped by the pandemic. Around the world, walls and public spaces have become canvases for artists to document, process, and question the collective experience of living through a pandemic. As the virus spread across the globe, street artists took to their spray cans and brushes to offer commentary, solidarity, and hope. Murals depicting healthcare workers as heroes, reminders of social distancing, and tributes to those who have suffered have appeared in cities large and small. These works have brought color and life to streets made empty by lockdowns and served as poignant reminders of the pandemic's toll and the resilience of communities.

Covid-19's Influence on Themes in Street Art

COVID-19 has also influenced the thematic elements in street pop art and graffiti. The iconography of the virus—the spherical shape adorned with spike proteins—has been reinterpreted in countless ways, from menacing characters in dystopian scenes to motifs in larger allegorical pieces. These artworks often delve into the psychological impact of the pandemic, exploring themes of isolation, anxiety, and the human desire for connection in times of uncertainty. The urgency and immediacy of street pop art and graffiti artwork during COVID-19 have made these pieces critical historical documents. Cities and cultural organizations have begun to recognize the value of preserving these artworks as part of the collective memory of the pandemic. These images capture a moment when a common struggle united the world, and their preservation will allow future generations to witness and understand this period's emotional and social climate. The COVID-19 pandemic has deeply influenced street pop art and graffiti, prompting a surge in public art that captures the zeitgeist. From acts of remembrance to messages of hope and resilience, these artworks have turned the streets into an open gallery of human experience during one of the most challenging times in recent history. They stand as a testament to the power of public art to inspire, heal, and unite.
