Saboteur Limited Edition 3-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on 100% Cotton Rag Archival Paper by Dave Kinsey, Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. AP Artist Proof 2010 Signed & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x18  The Essence of Rebellion in Kinsey's Saboteur Dave Kinsey, a street artist who has made significant waves in modern pop art, presents a compelling piece in the form of the 'Saboteur' limited edition print. This three-color hand-pulled silkscreen print on 100% cotton rag archival paper reflects the essence of what street pop art and graffiti artwork stand for - a blend of aesthetic appeal and a strong message. Created in 2010, the 'Saboteur' is not only a visually striking piece but also one laden with symbolism and meaning. The 'Saboteur' showcases Kinsey's skill in using limited color palettes to create depth and narrative. The stark contrast of the orange background against the black-and-white imagery of the Statue of Liberty immediately captures the viewer's attention. The choice of the Statue of Liberty as the central figure is remarkably evocative, symbolizing freedom and the American spirit. However, Kinsey's portrayal is not one of patriotic triumph but rather a nuanced critique, perhaps a comment on the state of liberty in contemporary society. A Limited Edition Piece with a Timeless Message This artwork, marked as an Artist Proof (AP), signifies its status as part of a unique subset of prints often kept by the artist for personal use or sold as precious pieces to collectors. The print, sized at 24x18 inches, is significant not just for its size but for its exclusivity and the personal touch of the artist's signature. Collectors and admirers of Kinsey's work recognize the value of such a piece in terms of its aesthetic quality and its potential as an investment and a historical artifact. The 'Saboteur' is a testament to Kinsey's mastery of silkscreen printing, which requires precision and skill. The hand-pulled method employed by Kinsey ensures that each print is unique, with slight variations that make each piece one-of-a-kind. The use of 100% cotton rag archival paper speaks to the quality and durability of the print, designed to withstand the test of time without losing its color and integrity. The Impact of 'Saboteur' in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork In the broader context of street pop art and graffiti artwork, the 'Saboteur' stands out as a beacon of Kinsey's style and the political edge often found in this genre. Street art, known for its transient nature, is painted on walls and surfaces of the public domain. By transforming such a piece into a silkscreen print, Kinsey bridges the gap between street art's ephemeral nature and fine art's longevity. This piece allows the rebellious spirit of street art to enter homes and galleries, preserving its message and aesthetic for future generations. The 'Saboteur' is not just a piece of art; it's a conversation starter, a statement, and history. It encapsulates the turbulent emotions and the critical discourse of the time it was created, yet its message remains timeless. As a work of modern pop art, it embodies the cultural and political atmosphere of the early 21st century, reflecting the artist's perception of liberty and the societal structures that govern it. Dave Kinsey's Ongoing Legacy and 'Saboteur's' Place Within It The continuing legacy of Dave Kinsey as an influential figure in street pop art and graffiti artwork is further cemented by works like 'Saboteur.' He has consistently demonstrated an ability to convey powerful messages through his art; this print is no exception. As with many great works of street pop art, the 'Saboteur' challenges its viewers to think critically about the symbols and institutions they may otherwise take for granted. For collectors, enthusiasts, and students of street pop art and graffiti artwork, 'Saboteur' represents a pinnacle of Kinsey's artistic endeavors, encapsulating his message, medium, and method. Pieces like this ensure Kinsey's place in the annals of modern art is secure and revered. As time progresses, 'Saboteur' will continue to resonate and inspire, much like the enduring spirit of the street art movement from which it was born.

Assassination Silver Silkscreen Print by Dave Kinsey Hand-Pulled 4-Color on Off White Archival Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2007 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print by Dave Kinsey based on Auguste Rodin's The Thinker "I created this piece in 2007, which is a commentary on the slow degradation of the education system in the United States—an assassination of the educational nourishment of the people and our society. This piece references Rodin’s “The Thinker” sculpture whose pose is based on deep thought and contemplation. Our schools, universities, and so forth are catalysts to greater change and progress and we as humans need to protect this at all costs." -Dave Kinsey, Two Thousand & Twenty-Three Dave Kinsey is a contemporary artist known for his mixed media work that often blends urban street art influences with fine art practices. His work often explores themes of the human condition, society, and the environment. Kinsey often utilizes silkscreen printing in his work, which is a process that involves pushing ink through a mesh screen to create an image. This technique allows for the production of multiple copies of a design, with each print being an original piece of art. Kinsey's artwork varies in subject matter, and he has created a wide array of prints, paintings, and installations. The Thinker is a bronze sculpture by the French artist Auguste Rodin, which was first cast in 1902. The sculpture depicts a nude male figure, hunched over with his chin resting on one hand and his other hand resting on his knee, deep in thought. Dave Kinseys version, The Thinker has a bullet hole in his head. The pose of the figure is meant to evoke the idea of a man contemplating the meaning of life, and it has become an iconic symbol of philosophy and intellectualism. Rodin originally created The Thinker as part of a larger commission for a set of bronze doors for a museum in Paris. The doors were to depict scenes from Dante's Divine Comedy, and The Thinker was originally conceived as a representation of Dante himself, contemplating the depths of hell. However, the sculpture became so popular that Rodin eventually decided to make it a standalone piece, and he created multiple versions of The Thinker in various sizes and materials. Today, The Thinker is one of the most recognizable sculptures in the world, and it has been widely reproduced and referenced in popular culture. It is also considered a masterpiece of the modern era, and it continues to inspire artists and thinkers around the world.
