Look, Busy The Boss is Coming... 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. 2020 Signed Limited HPM Edition of 10 Artwork Size 13.5x11.5 "My work speaks of impending doom and many crass, sinister themes, but that should not mean I want this to happen. 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's "Look Busy The Boss is Coming..." as a Commentary in Street Pop Art "Look Busy The Boss is Coming..." is a striking piece of modern pop art by the graffiti street artist known as Denial, a pseudonym for the Canadian artist Daniel Bombardier. His 2020 creation is a signed, limited hand-painted multiple (HPM) edition of only ten pieces, each with dimensions of 13.5x11.5 inches. This mixed media spray paint artwork on a laser-cut wood panel is a ready-to-hang piece that encapsulates the humor, irony, and critical commentary that street pop art and graffiti artwork are known for. Denial's work is often lauded for its vibrant use of color, layered meanings, and thought-provoking content that challenges societal norms and behaviors. In "Look Busy The Boss is Coming...", Denial uses laser-cut wood panels to bring a three-dimensional quality to the work, emphasizing the text's impact and the message's urgency. The layered text, with its bold letters popping against the dark background, creates an illusion of depth, while the cartoonish eyes add a playful yet satirical element to the piece. Denial's signature style, which often includes a combination of text and image, invites the viewer to engage with the artwork on multiple levels. Exploring the Layers of Meaning in Denial's Artistic Expression Denial's artistic expression in "Look Busy The Boss is Coming..." is multifaceted, reflecting the complexities of the human condition and the often-absurd workplace reality. The phrase "Look Busy" is a satirical take on the performative aspect of productivity in modern society, where appearances can sometimes outweigh actual efficiency or contribution. The addition of the watchful, exaggerated eyes serves to underscore the constant surveillance and pressure employees feel in the professional environment. This piece speaks volumes about the current state of work culture, where the fear of authority and the need to appear perpetually occupied can overshadow the value of genuine work. The statement made by Denial through this artwork echoes his broader perspective on life and society. As the artist himself has noted, his work addresses severe and, at times, sinister themes through a lens of absurdity and satire. The goal is not to promote a bleak outlook but to use humor as a tool for reflection and, ideally, to inspire conversations that lead to better solutions for societal issues. The whimsical yet incisive nature of "Look Busy The Boss is Coming..." exemplifies this approach, as it holds up a mirror to the audience, prompting them to question and perhaps laugh at the absurdities of their daily routines. Impact and Reception of Denial's Street Pop Art The impact of Denial's "Look Busy The Boss is Coming..." is significant in the street pop art community and among art collectors. As a limited edition piece, its value lies in its scarcity and potent commentary wrapped in an aesthetically pleasing package. The work resonates with a broad audience due to its relatable content and accessible presentation. Denial's ability to distill complex social critiques into visually engaging street pop art makes his pieces sought after by both seasoned collectors and new enthusiasts alike. Denial's work, including "Look Busy The Boss is Coming...," contributes to the ongoing dialogue about the intersections between street art, pop culture, and social commentary. His unique voice in art has garnered attention and respect, illustrating how street pop art and graffiti artwork can transcend traditional boundaries and enter meaningful discourse with a broader public. Through his creations, Denial continues to challenge perceptions, provoke thought, and offer new perspectives on the world we navigate daily.

American Daydream- Foil PP Printer Proof Limited Edition 9-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on 10pt Lava Foil Holographic Fine Art Paper by Artist Denial. PP Printers Prood 2021 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition 9-Color Screen Print on 10pt Lava Foil Holographic Fine Art Paper Size: 18 x 24 Inches Release March 09, 2021 Denial's "American Daydream-Foil" in the Landscape of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork "American Daydream-Foil" by the artist Denial, also known as Daniel Bombardier, is a thought-provoking piece encapsulating the spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork. As a Printer's Proof (PP) limited edition, this 9-color hand-pulled silkscreen print is a rare and collectible piece of art, released on March 09, 2021. The use of 10pt lava foil holographic fine art paper gives the artwork a mesmerizing quality, with its reflective surface creating a sense of depth and movement that enhances the visual impact of the piece. The artwork's size, 18 x 24 inches, is substantial and ideal for capturing the intricate details and vibrant colors that Denial employs. Each print in this limited edition is signed and marked PP by the artist, denoting its exclusivity and the artist's direct involvement in the creation and approval process. The holographic effects of the lava foil paper interact with the silkscreen ink, resulting in a dynamic piece that changes with the viewer's perspective and the surrounding light. Denial's work often comments on consumerism, politics, and the media, and "American Daydream-Foil" is no exception. The image of a woman's face, reminiscent of the classic pop art style made famous by artists like Roy Lichtenstein, is overlaid with a dazzling pattern that reveals and conceals her features. This interplay suggests the tension between reality and the manufactured dreams sold to society, a recurring theme in Denial's oeuvre and a poignant critique that resonates deeply in street pop art and graffiti. Reflective Surfaces and Societal Reflections in Denial's Art The reflective surface of "American Daydream-Foil" is a literal and figurative mirror, inviting viewers to reflect on their perceptions and the societal constructs that shape them. Denial’s use of foil is remarkably evocative, as it not only catches the eye but also suggests the allure and superficiality of the American Dream. The way the artwork's appearance changes with light and angle can be seen as a metaphor for the shifting nature of this dream and the elusive pursuit of happiness within modern American culture. The piece's limited release and its Printer's Proof status elevate its value in the art market, making it a sought-after item for collectors of street pop art, graffiti artwork, and modern pop art. The PP mark signifies that this particular edition was used to check the quality before the final run, often kept by the artist for personal reasons or sold to discerning collectors who appreciate the rarity and authenticity of such proofs. Denial's "American Daydream-Foil" is a powerful addition to the narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It bridges the gap between the rebellious origins of street art and the refined techniques of fine art printing, creating a piece that is both a statement and a spectacle. As with much of Denial's work, the piece is imbued with layers of meaning, challenging viewers to look beyond the surface and consider the more profound commentary on the culture surrounding them. In contemporary art, "American Daydream-Foil" stands as a vibrant example of how traditional pop art motifs and modern techniques can come together to create something that reflects and reacts to the society from which it springs.

Released on March 09, 2021, this limited edition print is a significant piece that comments on the nature of American culture and the commodification of the American dream. Limited to a run of just 30 pieces, this 9-color hand-pulled silkscreen print on 10pt lava foil holographic fine art paper is a testament to the exclusivity and precision of Denial's work. Measuring 18 x 24 inches, "American Daydream - Foil" is a visual spectacle that dazzles with its reflective foil background, creating a dynamic interplay of light and color that challenges the viewer's perceptions. The use of lava foil holographic paper is particularly striking as a metaphor for the American psyche's multiple, often contradictory, layers. Denial's piece captures the essence of pop art through its use of a familiar comic style juxtaposed with a psychedelic palette that seems to shift and shimmer with the viewer's movement. The artwork features a crying female figure, a recurring motif in pop art, evoking the emotional disconnect between reality and the pursuit of happiness within the framework of the American dream. Denial's signature style incorporates bold, graphic elements and a keen sense of irony. By using silkscreen printing, a technique popularized in pop art by artists like Andy Warhol, Denial connects with the roots of the movement while pushing its boundaries through modern materials and themes. Contemporary Commentary through Limited Edition Art Denial's "American Daydream - Foil" is more than a visually stunning piece; it is a commentary on the glossy veneer of American life and the underlying complexities that the facade conceals. Each of the 30 prints is signed and numbered by the artist, adding a layer of authenticity and collectibility that is highly valued in the street pop art and graffiti art communities. Collectors and admirers of Denial's work appreciate the aesthetic qualities of his prints and the thought-provoking messages they convey. The limited edition nature of "American Daydream - Foil" symbolizes the street pop art scene's transition from ephemeral street murals to coveted fine art pieces. Denial's decision to release such a small edition underscores the desire to maintain the exclusivity and integrity of the piece. This principle is often at the heart of street pop art and graffiti artwork. In the hands of collectors, these prints are not merely decorative items but are held as cultural artifacts that encapsulate a moment in time and a particular sentiment or critique. In essence, Denial's work exemplifies the evolution of street pop art and graffiti artwork into a form that reflects and is critical of the culture it arises from. "American Daydream - Foil" serves as a mirror to society, reflecting the complexities of the American experience through the lens of pop art. It is a bold statement on the nature of dreams and reality, commercialism, and the individual's place within the broader tapestry of society.

Curser Original Hand-Painted Multiple (HPM) Aerosol with Clear Coat Finish on Laser Cut Wood ready to hang by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2019 Signed & Numbered Aerosol with Clear Coat Finish on Laser Cut Wood Size: 5.5 x 7 x 1 Inches Release: August 14, 2019 Run of 100 "I like to think of myself as an activist in pop art. How I relate with cartoons and graphics is much easier than with photo-realistic stuff. I love referencing things that people are so familiar with. With humor and nostalgia, you can open up communication. I've done that for years and used elements of humor and familiarity to open a dialogue because then you can slide in some real issues and different things you're trying to convey in your work. You have a lot more open stream to the person's consciousness and experience towards how they're taking your art. If you can get them to laugh at it, remember something or relate to some image." -Denial- Daniel Bombardier The Innovative Intersection of Technology and Art in Denial's "Curser" In the dynamic and ever-evolving world of modern pop art, "Curser," a hand-painted multiple (HPM) by the renowned graffiti street artist Denial, stands out as a remarkable piece that encapsulates the spirit of contemporary street pop art and graffiti artwork. Denial, whose real name is Daniel Bombardier, has been a prominent figure in the art world, known for his activist approach and incorporation of pop culture elements into his works. The "Curser" HPM, released on August 14, 2019, is a limited edition series of 100, each piece bearing the artist's unique touch with aerosol paint and a clear coat finish on laser-cut wood. This artwork, measuring 5.5 x 7 x 1 inches, is a visual play on the familiar digital cursor, a ubiquitous digital symbol in the digital age. Denial transforms this everyday icon into a standalone piece of art that challenges viewers to reconsider the symbols that permeate our daily lives—using laser-cut wood as a medium is a nod to the precision and crispness of digital graphics. At the same time, the hand-painted aerosol technique infuses the work with the authenticity and raw appeal of street art. Denial's Artistic Philosophy and Its Reflection in "Curser" Denial's philosophy of using humor and nostalgia to engage audiences is vividly reflected in "Curser." By recontextualizing a digital pointer into a tangible, hand-crafted object, the artist bridges the gap between the virtual and the physical, the ephemeral and the permanent. Denial believes in the power of pop art to initiate dialogue, a belief that is evident in how "Curser" resonates with a broad audience. The familiar shape of the cursor, combined with the unexpected medium and manual intervention, becomes a conversation starter, prompting discussions about the impact of technology on art and society. The clear coat finish on "Curser" gives the artwork a modern sheen, reminiscent of the glossy interfaces of smartphones and computers, thus further blurring the lines between traditional graffiti art and contemporary digital aesthetics. This piece is not merely an artwork but a statement on the convergence of our digital experiences with the physical world. Denial's work exemplifies the evolving nature of street pop art, where traditional techniques merge with modern-day themes to create a new form of cultural expression. Collectibility and Cultural Impact of Denial's "Curser" As a collectible, "Curser" holds a special place in street pop art. Its limited run and the individual hand embellishments by Denial make each piece in the series unique, coveted by collectors who value the intersection of street art sensibilities with pop culture commentary. Denial's work, particularly "Curser," is a testament to the growing appreciation for graffiti art as a medium that can entertain and provoke thought. The cultural impact of "Curser" is amplified by its accessibility and relatability. Denial's approachable art invites viewers to reflect on the interplay between their digital habits and the tangible world, an increasingly relevant theme in our tech-driven society.
