Donatella Azygous Coffin Deck Skateboard Art Deck by Justin Mensinger x Donatella Azygous
Coffin Deck Fine Art Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Transfer on Wood Skateboard Deck by Street Artwork Graffiti Artist Justin Mensinger x Donatella Azygous. 2022 Limited skate deck made in collaboration with Donatella Azygous Custom carved coffin-shaped cruiser board 9X31.5 Coffin Deck Skateboard Art Deck by Justin Mensinger x Donatella Azygous Skateboarding Meets Street Art: The Coffin Deck Collaboration The Coffin Deck is a remarkable manifestation of how street artwork and skate culture intertwine, creating a piece that is both a functional item and a work of art. This limited edition skateboard deck, a collaborative creation by Justin Mensinger and Donatella Azygous, exemplifies how street pop art can transcend traditional canvases and infuse everyday objects with profound artistic expression. Artistic Fusion on Four Wheels Justin Mensinger, known for his work that often features elements from street culture, partnered with the enigmatic artist Donatella Azygous to produce a piece steeped in graffiti and street art aesthetics. The Coffin Deck, with its archival pigment print transfer on wood, brings the raw energy of street art into the hands of skateboarders and art collectors alike. The coffin shape of the board is a nod to the underground, rebellious spirit of skateboarding culture, symbolizing a departure from the mainstream and an embrace of the niche and the novel. The deck's design, marked by the stark contrast of black and white, features a skeletal figure that merges with intricate patterns and natural motifs such as butterflies. This juxtaposition of the macabre with the delicate suggests a more profound commentary on life, death, beauty, and decay – recurrent themes in pop and street art. Each deck, custom carved and sized at 9X31.5 inches, stands as a unique testament to the skill and creative vision of the artists involved. Confluence of Symbolism and Street Sensibilities In creating the Coffin Deck, Mensinger, and Azygous tap into the symbolic language of street pop art, where every image and every line is loaded with meaning. Using a skateboard as a medium is a statement, positioning the artwork within skate culture's rebellious, free-spirited world. It is a culture historically shared a symbiotic relationship with street art, each influencing and inspiring the other. The skeletal figure at the center of the design is reminiscent of the memento mori theme, a reminder of mortality richly woven into the fabric of pop art's history. Meanwhile, the butterflies suggest transformation and rebirth, offering a counterpoint to the somber undertones of the piece. Together, these elements create a conversation about the cycles of nature and humanity, encapsulated on a platform that is as much about movement and freedom as it is about artistic expression. The Legacy of Street Art in Skateboard Design The collaboration between Justin Mensinger and Donatella Azygous is not just a fleeting moment in the vast timeline of street pop art; it represents the ongoing legacy of street art's influence on design and culture. The Coffin Deck is a contemporary artifact that captures the essence of a movement – one that continues to challenge conventional views on art and its place in society. These limited-edition skateboard decks are collectors' items, but more importantly, they are pieces of a cultural dialogue that stretches back to the origins of street art and graffiti. With each deck, Mensinger and Azygous contribute to this conversation, adding their unique voices to a story constantly unfolding beneath the wheels of skaters and the brushes of street artists worldwide. The Coffin Deck by Justin Mensinger and Donatella Azygous is a poignant example of street pop art’s versatility and capacity to make a statement, whether on city walls or underfoot in a skate park. Through this piece, the artists celebrate the intersection of life, death, and the irrepressible spirit of street culture, crafting an object that is both a tribute and a challenge to the ever-evolving art form.

Ryan McCann Death To Damien Hirst Archival Print by Ryan McCann
Death To Damien Hirst Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Ryan McCann Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "This is part of the “Death to...” series that has culminated in a solo show highlighting the death of 8 living contemporary artists. It is now on view at Guy Hepner Contemporary in West Hollywood.The concept came to me over a year ago and took about a month to finish. I thought about having my assistant paint the whole piece for me in true Damien Hirst fashion but decided against it because painting is fun. I am fascinated by the career of Damien Hirst and as I learned more about his work I started to feel really bad for the butterflies and approached the work from their perspective." - Ryan McCann Very Minor Crease To Upper Tip In Margin.

Denial Of Death Original Hand-Painted Multiple Mixed Media Spray Paint Artwork on Laser Cut Wood Panel ready to hang by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2017 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 10 Artwork Size 8x11 Number 1. "My work speaks of impending doom and a lot of crass, sinister themes, but that should not mean I desire this to happen at all. I hope my work would suggest only the opposite: to show the ridiculousness of it all and how we may find better solutions for the future"" -Denial. Denial art is intensely political and social since the artist takes specific positions against issues such as capitalism, consumer culture, and advertisements. More importantly, the artist knows his choices and motivations:"“I like to think of myself as activist pop art. How I relate with cartoons and graphics is a lot easier than I do with photo-realistic stuf"" Another aspect ofDenial'ss work is humor. His work is satirical, which, by definition, means that it uses humor as a confronting mechanism.

Derek Hess Burned Out HPM Acrylic Wood Panel Print by Derek Hess
Burned Out Original Hand-Painted Multiple (HPM) on Acrylic on Laser Etched Wood Panel by Derek Hess Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Burnt Wood & Acrylic on Wood Panel Artwork Size 20x10 Ready To Display "This 'Burned Out' is burned or etched into the wood, the red on the arms I laid down with a wire brush, I worked fast with the crude tools to keep the feel consistent with the rest of the piece. The first laser-etched piece done with 1xRUN, Hemorrhage, came out so nice and true to the original that another one would be cool to try. Burned Out was a no-brainer, it's burned out.. What is cool about these pieces is they are all part of an edition, all the figures are handled the same, so it is a true edition. But at the same time, each one is unique because the red is different on everyone. What I find very cool about this piece is you get a unique one of a kind signed and numbered edition print, it's the best of both worlds." - Derek Hess
