  • In HDL We Trust PP Silkscreen Print by Hygienic Dress League

    Hygienic Dress League In HDL We Trust PP Silkscreen Print by Hygienic Dress League

    Purchase In HDL We Trust PP Printers Proof Silkscreen Print by Hygienic Dress League Hand-Pulled 3-Color on 290gsm Coventry Rag Vellum Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. PP Printer Proof 2020 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x11 Silkscreen Print Exploring the Intricacies of "In HDL We Trust PP Printers Proof" by Hygienic Dress League The "In HDL We Trust PP Printers Proof" silkscreen print is a captivating piece of street pop art encapsulating contemporary socio-economic commentary's essence. Created by the Hygienic Dress League (HDL), a duo known for their intelligent and satirical take on corporate culture and consumerism, this artwork stands out as a limited edition print that delves deep into the fabric of modern society's values. This piece was hand-pulled, utilizing a three-color process on 290gsm Coventry Rag Vellum fine art paper. This choice underscores the quality and attention to detail the HDL invests in its artwork. The limited edition nature of this print, marked PP for Printer's Proof and signed by the artists, points to its exclusivity and collectibility. Measuring 18x11 inches, the print showcases the HDL's iconic visual language, often featuring figures in gas masks. This motif anonymizes individuals while commenting on themes of environmental degradation and protection. The figure is poised, presenting a pigeon against an ornate, golden circular pattern that evokes a coin — directly referencing the title "In HDL We Trust." This imagery is a clever twist on the phrase "In God We Trust," traditionally found in US currency, suggesting a critique of the deification of corporate entities in modern culture. Symbolism and Technique in HDL's Silkscreen Print The Hygienic Dress League's print of "In HDL We Trust" is not just a visual treat; it's a narrative layered with symbolism. The juxtaposition of the pigeon, often seen as an ordinary or even pesky creature, with the superb, almost religious iconography creates a dichotomy that invites interpretation. It could be seen as a statement on the value placed on the mundane or overlooked aspects of life, as contrasted with the grand narrative of corporate trust and power that HDL critiques. The choice of silkscreen printing, a method with roots in both commercial and street art, further bridges the gap between high art and the more rebellious forms of street pop art. The technique used in this artwork, silkscreen printing, is particularly significant in street pop art and graffiti artwork. This method, known for its bold, clear lines and vibrant colors, is ideally suited to the graphic style of HDL. The three-color process in creating "In HDL We Trust" allows for a high level of detail and a range of tonalities that give the piece depth and texture. Using Coventry Rag Vellum fine art paper, a heavyweight and durable medium, ensures that the artwork has a quality feel and can stand the test of time. In summary, "In HDL We Trust PP Printers Proof" is a thought-provoking example of street pop art that demonstrates the power of this medium to challenge and critique. The artwork's limited edition status, sophisticated technique, and deep symbolism make it a significant piece for both art collectors and those interested in the intersection of art, society, and cultural commentary. Through this print, the Hygienic Dress League continues to question and redefine the boundaries of street pop art and graffiti artwork, offering a fresh perspective on the role of art in reflecting and shaping public consciousness.

  • UltraS PP Archival Print by David Molesky

    David Molesky UltraS PP Archival Print by David Molesky

    Purchase UltraS PP Printer Proof Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by David Molesky, a Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. PP Printers Proof 2016 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x20 "This painting is the masterpiece from my series of paintings based on media images of the revolution in Kyiv. It's the largest of the eight paintings and the one I spent the most time on. The figure captures the energy that originally drew me into the subject matter. The paintings of this series are a departure from my earlier figurative paintings. For the last decade, I have tried to depict universal time and avoided artificial objects. I've dropped that dogma. I love that the subject is current and contains elements that seem from another era. For example, the old school puffy down jacket and the overall color looks a bit like old film tone." - David Molesky. The Convergence of Revolution and Art in David Molesky's "UltraS" David Molesky's "UltraS PP Printer Proof" stands out as a pivotal creation that captures the essence of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork while being deeply rooted in the historical context of the revolution in Kyiv. As an archival pigment print on 310gsm fine art paper, this piece holds significant value in its material quality and profound thematic content. The limited edition print, marked and signed by Molesky himself, measures 24x20 inches, providing a substantial canvas for the artist's vision. Molesky's journey through the artistic depiction of universal time and space takes a dramatic turn with "UltraS." The painting eschews his previous avoidance of temporal and artificial elements, plunging instead into the immediacy of current events with a raw and gripping portrayal of the human spirit in times of conflict. The "UltraS" series, specifically this print, departs from Molesky's earlier figurative painting, venturing into a more dynamic and narratively rich territory. The artwork is an amalgamation of past and present, a visual dialogue between the history it draws from and the contemporary medium of its expression. The print itself, a Printer's Proof, bears the unique distinction of being a precursor to the final limited edition run, carrying with it the artist's nuances and direct hand. The markings and the signature on each PP print confirm its authenticity and exclusivity, making it a coveted item for collectors and admirers of modern pop art. In "UltraS," Molesky achieves a striking balance between the static and the kinetic. The image of the solitary figure, poised against a backdrop of fiery chaos, encapsulates a moment of intense action and profound stillness. This figure, adorned in an "old school puffy down jacket," is an anachronistic anchor, throwing the viewer into a liminal space where time converges. The overall coloration of the print, reminiscent of old film tones, further imbues the scene with a sense of history and gravitas. David Molesky's Artistic Evolution Through "UltraS" The "UltraS" piece is not just an artwork but a historical document and a visual commentary, encapsulating the enthusiasm and the ethos of the streets. By adopting elements from graffiti art, Molesky infuses the piece with authenticity and an edge typically reserved for the most impactful street art. The scrawled "UltraS" on the side of the burning vehicle is a nod to the graffiti tradition, a signature that declares both presence and resistance. This Printer's Proof edition of "UltraS" is a testament to Molesky's artistic maturation. It showcases his willingness to engage with the present, to document it, and to reflect on it through his art. The series demonstrates a clear narrative progression in his work, embracing the current moment with all its complexities and contradictions. The impact of "UltraS" lies in its capacity to transcend the temporal boundaries that often define street art. Molesky's print is a snapshot of a single event and a broader exploration of the human condition amidst societal turmoil. It is a piece that resonates with the urgency of now while simultaneously capturing the echoes of the past. For the art world, "UltraS" represents a significant contribution to the discourse of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. It is a work that demands contemplation, speaks to the soul of the viewer, and invites us to ponder the role of art in reflecting and shaping our perception of historical events. David Molesky's "UltraS" is not just a piece to be viewed; it is an experience to be absorbed, a dialogue to be entered, and a reflection of our world.

This hand-pulled print on 80# Patina Matte Fine Art Paper, released in a limited edition of 450 in 2010, is a testament to Soto's prowess in translating the essence of street art onto a more enduring medium. Each piece, sized at 21.88x30 inches, is meticulously signed and numbered, emphasizing its exclusivity and the artist's personal touch. Soto's work is renowned for its intricate detail, and "Broken" is no exception, with its layered imagery and textured visuals that invite viewers to delve into a narrative as sprawling and complex as graffiti itself. "Broken" is not just an artwork; it is a narrative piece that encapsulates the multifaceted nature of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. The fantastical creature at the center of the composition, with its vibrant pink hue and juxtaposition of animalistic traits, is a visual anchor that draws the eye and ignites curiosity. This creature, existing in a world that defies conventional reality, symbolizes the freedom of expression inherent in street art. This freedom allows for a fusion of the real and the surreal, giving rise to a new realm where the rules of traditional art are bent and reimagined. The Cultural Impact of Jeff Soto's "Broken" in the Art World Jeff Soto's "Broken" cultural impact extends beyond its aesthetic appeal, speaking to the heart of the street art movement's influence on contemporary art. The piece embodies the rebellious spirit of graffiti, with its disregard for boundaries and its challenge to the status quo. In bringing such a piece to the realm of fine art prints, Soto demonstrates the evolving perception of graffiti as a legitimate and impactful form of artistic expression. The limited edition nature of "Broken" mirrors the transient nature of street murals, often at the mercy of time and urban development, adding a sense of preciousness to their ownership. Soto's "Broken" celebrates the creative spirit that drives the street pop art movement. It bridges the often underground world of graffiti and the established art community, showcasing the potential for street-inspired visuals to resonate within gallery spaces. The print's complexity, with its swirling colors and forms, echoes the layered textures and meanings often found in street murals, inviting a deeper engagement and interpretation from its audience. Jeff Soto's "Broken" lithograph print is a vibrant homage to the transformative power of street pop art and graffiti. As a limited edition work, it captures the essence of a movement that continues to challenge and redefine the boundaries of artistic expression. Each signed and numbered print stands as a testament to the artist's vision, a piece of a larger narrative that celebrates the union of street culture and fine art. Much like the street art inspired by, it is a narrative that continues to evolve and influence long after the paint has dried.

    I Will Love You Until The End Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Spray Paint, Acrylic, Stencil, Mixed Media On Cradled Wood Panel by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Limited Edition of HPM 5 Hand Embleshed Artwork Size 24x36 Canadian artist Denial and Australian-born Ben Frost have joined forces in a bold exhibition of new work that explores the boundaries of appropriation in confronting re-imaginings of our current dystopian society. Self-­confessed ‘visual thieves’, both artists have had a long history of stealing and subverting the cultural icons that the advertising and consumerist world has thrust upon us to create new and pertinent interpretations that are as confronting as they are humorous. Denial and Frost formed an instant friendship after meeting in Canada in 2011 and have been creating engaging street and gallery work ever since. "Company of Thieves" sees their collaboration push further, with large and small-scale works referencing Pop Art, Graffiti, and the corporate world they rebel against. In the world of Denial, memory is essential because it is the basis of his work, as it nostalgically encourages the audience to engage with it. As a result, his art is as familiar as it is disturbing because it reveals the most unsettling parts of society, the ones we are in a “denial” of. No matter its controversial history, graffiti is less and less viewed as a form of vandalism.

    Purchase Eroded Porsche 911 Turbo 930 Selenite Quartz Sculpture by Daniel Arsham Limited Edition Pop Artwork Street Artist Fine Art. 2020 Signed Selenite Quartz Sculpture Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 3.58x5.35x12.21 of a White Porsche 911 Turbo 930 with Stylized Eroded Quarty Deposit Crystal Embellishments. Like New In Box. The fusion of contemporary art and automotive culture takes a striking form in the "Eroded Porsche 911 Turbo 930," a selenite quartz sculpture by Daniel Arsham. This limited edition artwork, created in 2020, exemplifies Arsham's iconic style of creating "future relics." The sculpture is a finely crafted representation of the classic White Porsche 911 Turbo 930, one of the most iconic sports cars in history reimagined through the lens of geological time. The dimensions of this striking piece measure 3.58x5.35x12.21 inches, offering a compact yet impactful statement of art and engineering. Arsham's artistic endeavor in this sculpture synthesizes his interest in pop culture, street art, and fine arts, positioning the artwork at the vanguard of modern artistic expression. The eroded quartz deposits that seem to consume the vehicle are indicative of his exploration into decay and the passage of time. These crystal embellishments are not random; instead, they are meticulously stylized to represent the transformative power of nature over man-made objects, suggesting a future where the current era’s artifacts have become the ancient relics of tomorrow. Every inch of this artwork reflects Arsham's skilled craftsmanship and vision. The white hue of the sculpture, reminiscent of the original Porsche 911's various classic colors, acts as a canvas for the selenite quartz, creating a monochromatic aesthetic that is both minimalist and complex. The interplay of the car’s smooth lines and the rough, crystalline textures invites viewers to ponder the intersection of past and future, permanence and transience. This piece holds its ground not just in the oeuvre of Daniel Arsham but also in the wider narrative of pop and street art. It's a tangible representation of Arsham's recurring theme: that the objects of everyday life and symbols of cultural significance are all subject to the inexorable march of time. Signed by the artist, the "Eroded Porsche 911 Turbo 930" stands as a testament to Arsham’s continuing influence on the art world, inviting admiration and contemplation on our own place within the temporal flow of human culture.

    Purchase Peoples Power Original Painting Mixed Media Stencil & Spray Paint on Cut Out Wood Panel by Icy & Sot Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Original Spray Paint & Stencil Painting on Cut-Out Wood Artwork Size 21x46 "Life Size" "American Dream is inspired by the homeless guy holding ag Starbucks cup and asking for money. There are a lot of homeless people in New York, but they are invisible in between skyscrapers. We painted him bigger than the Empire State Building so he can be noticed more." - Icy &. Sot Decoding the Visual Language of 'People's Power' The artwork titled 'People's Power' by the street artist duo Icy & Sot is a striking example of modern pop art that interweaves the raw intensity of graffiti with the engaging allure of stencil work. Created in 2015, this original piece was meticulously crafted using mixed media, predominantly stencil and spray paint, on a cut-out wood panel. The artists' choice of materials and their technique tell of their deep roots in the traditions of street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the use of spray paint is iconic, and stencils allow for sharp, repeatable imagery that can be rapidly executed in the often tricky environments of public spaces. Artistic Expression on Social Realities 'People's Power' resonates with the ethos of street art by boldly tackling socio-political themes. Icy & Sot's work often reflects a keen awareness of contemporary issues; this piece is no exception. The narrative behind the 'American Dream' — the inspiration for 'People's Power' — stems from the artist's observation of a homeless individual in New York City, cradling a Starbucks cup while begging for money. This poignant scene, set against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers, sparked the creation of an artwork that seeks to amplify the presence of the often overlooked and marginalized figures in urban landscapes. The Symbolic Imagery of 'People's Power' In 'People's Power,' the central figure is depicted as larger than life, overshadowing the iconic Empire State Building. This artistic choice elevates the subject, literally and figuratively, granting him a visibility that is usually denied in real life. The mixed crowd surrounding the central figure appears to be in solidarity, suggesting a collective uprising or a unified stand against societal issues. The vibrant colors splashed across the face of the central figure add a sense of vitality and perhaps a glimmer of hope amidst the stark black and white of the crowd. Technique and Form in Icy & Sot's Creative Process The technical prowess of Icy & Sot is evident in the stencil work's precision and the spray paint's controlled chaos. By opting for a wood panel as the substrate, the artists step away from the transient nature of street walls, allowing 'People's Power' to exist as a portable manifesto of their artistic and ideological stance. The cut-out form of the artwork disrupts the conventional rectangular canvas, giving the piece an almost sculptural presence that echoes the three-dimensional experience of encountering street art in the wild. Contextualizing 'People's Power' Within Street Pop Art 'People's Power' is more than a visually captivating piece; it is a cultural artifact that encapsulates the spirit of street pop art. Icy & Sot have successfully harnessed the expressive potential of graffiti artwork to communicate with a broad audience, transcending linguistic and cultural barriers. The artwork's accessibility is crucial to its impact, following the tradition of street art that speaks directly to the public, unfiltered by the gatekeeping norms of traditional galleries and museums. Impact and Legacy of 'People's Power' The legacy of 'People's Power' lies in its ability to confront and converse with its audience about uncomfortable truths. As with many seminal works in the street pop art genre, this piece's value is amplified by its relevance to contemporary societal discourses. Icy & Sot's commitment to addressing the uncomfortable facets of modernity is what positions 'People's Power' as not only an object of aesthetic admiration but also as a beacon of social consciousness in the realm of modern art.

    Purchase Know Your Rights- Large Format Limited Edition Hand Pulled 1-Color Serigraph Print on Varnished 100% Cotton Rag Archival Paper with hand-deckled edges by Shepard Fairey Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2014 Signed & Numbered Serigraph Artwork 42 x 42 inchesAugust 21, 201. 42 x 42 Large Format Serigraph.1 Color printed on Varnished 100% Cotton Rag Archival Paper. "Know Your Rights" is a commanding serigraph by Shepard Fairey, an artist who has cemented his place in the contemporary art scene through works that intertwine the ethos of street art with the aesthetic of modern pop art. This piece, released on August 21, 2014, is particularly noteworthy not only for its bold political message but also for the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into the production of each print. As an extensive format work, measuring an impressive 42 x 42 inches, it makes an indelible mark on the viewer, both through its scale and its strikingly stark one-color presentation on varnished 100% cotton rag archival paper, complete with hand-deckled edges. Shepard Fairey is renowned for blending fine art with the raw, in-your-face quality of street art and graffiti, and "Know Your Rights" is a prime example of this synthesis. The piece is anchored by a central image featuring an open book titled "THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN," encapsulating a message of empowerment and the potential for change. This is framed by laurels and a lit torch, evoking classic motifs that signify victory, knowledge, and enlightenment. The bordering texts "OBEY PROPAGANDA" and "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS" play into Fairey's recurring themes of propaganda, control, and the dissemination of information, urging the viewer to question authority and the narratives they are presented with. Each print in this limited edition is signed and numbered by Fairey, signifying its authenticity and connection to the artist's hand. The decision to use a one-color palette speaks to the work's assertive simplicity and Fairey's skill in using contrast and texture to convey depth and resonance. It's a technique that mirrors his street art roots, where messages must be given quickly and memorably. The serigraph process, a labor-intensive method of screen printing, ensures that each impression is of the highest quality, with the varnishing on the cotton rag paper adding a durable, tactile finish that also enhances the visual impact. "Know Your Rights" stands as a powerful statement in Fairey's oeuvre, reflecting his social and political advocacy rendered through his distinct pop art lens. This artwork resonates with the immediacy of street art and carries the weight of historical art traditions, bridging contemporary concerns with timeless expressions of resistance and hope.

If I can be angry about something, it means I feel passionate about it. It makes me want to make art about it”, Cleon Peterson says. Nonetheless, his art is not dealing with violence on a superficial level, and it is not used as a tool of provocation per se. His simple compositions entail complex connotations and an unsettling critique of society’s ever-growing disenfranchisement, isolation, and desperation. Looking at his work, one can easily understand that the artist is not advocating for violence, which he, instead, weaponizes in the battle with apathy. What’s alarming for Peterson in our world is not the poverty, injustice, and cruelty alone but the lack of reaction to them.

The piece, crafted in 2022, showcases not only the artist's commitment to highlighting pressing global issues but also his refined expertise in blending different artistic mediums. At the heart of this artwork is a lone figure, attempting to navigate an urban expanse with a vivid, broken blue umbrella as his shield. The umbrella, fragmented yet distinctly prominent in its hue, symbolizes Earth's endurance amidst the adversities thrust upon it. The deep blue, reminiscent of the planet's boundless oceans and skies, stands in stark juxtaposition against the monochromatic city background. This backdrop, depicting a graffiti-laden wall, offers a raw depiction of urban decay, further accentuated by the figure's shadowy presence. Amid the chaotic jumble of spray paint and scribbles, certain inscriptions like "Protect eARTh" and "I LOVE EARTH" boldly emerge, acting as poignant reminders of the work's central theme. With "Protect the eARTh HPM 2", Hijack embarks on a quest to bridge the seemingly disparate worlds of urban decay and environmental conservation. This 1 of 1 unique hand-embellished edition, limited to just ten silkscreens, spans a canvas measuring 22.5x30 inches, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and reconsider their relationship with the environment. Every brushstroke and silkscreen imprint echoes Hijack's signature style, culminating in a piece that is as thought-provoking as it is visually arresting.

Dystopia & Ruins

Exploring Dystopia and Ruins through Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Dystopia and ruins have become pervasive themes in street pop art and graffiti artwork, serving as a canvas for artists to explore and critique contemporary societal issues. The stark, often haunting imagery of dystopian landscapes provides a powerful contrast to the vibrant and energetic style typically associated with street pop art, offering a visual dichotomy that compels viewers to reflect on the current state of the world and its direction. These themes are recurrent in urban spaces where the rawness of dilapidated buildings and the remnants of industrial sites offer a tangible link to the concept of decay and the fallibility of human progress. The portrayal of dystopian themes in graffiti art is not just about bleak futures but also serves as a metaphor for resistance and a call to action. Artists use the symbolism of ruins to represent the decay of moral, social, and political structures, challenging the audience to question the sustainability of current systems and practices. Using such imagery in public spaces democratizes the expression of these concerns, taking the discourse out of academic and political arenas and into the everyday world, making it accessible and immediate.

Dystopian Imagery as Commentary in Urban Art

In urban art, the representation of dystopia and ruins often carries an undercurrent of social commentary, indicting environmental degradation, economic disparities, and the loss of community. The visual language of ruins in street pop art and graffiti artwork echoes the post-apocalyptic narratives in literature and film, bridging popular culture and fine art. These depictions serve as cautionary tales, illustrating the potential consequences of humanity's current trajectory and inviting viewers to contemplate alternative futures. Street artists utilize the decaying surfaces of the urban environment as a literal foundation for their work, embedding their art within the fabric of the dystopian landscapes they depict. This integration of art and environment blurs the line between the artwork and the context it critiques, reinforcing the message that the dystopian scenarios portrayed are not far-removed possibilities but present realities that are unfolding in slow motion. Through this integration, street pop art becomes a form of visual activism, harnessing the power of public space to foster dialogue and inspire change. The transient nature of the medium itself amplifies the resonance of dystopian themes in street pop art and graffiti. Graffiti, often subject to erasure and degradation, mirrors the impermanence and fragility of civilization, adding a layer of poignancy to artworks that reflect on societal collapse and the ephemeral nature of human achievements. This impermanence also speaks to the resilience of the human spirit, as artists continually recreate and reimagine their work, just as societies must adapt and evolve to avoid the dystopian outcomes they fear. The exploration of dystopia and ruins in street pop art and graffiti artwork provides a critical lens through which artists and audiences can engage with the complexities of the modern world. By juxtaposing the ruinous landscapes of a potential future with the immediacy of street-level expression, artists challenge passersby to confront uncomfortable truths about the state of society. As a result, these artworks become not just reflections of a possible future but also potent symbols of the power of art to provoke thought and stimulate discourse on the path toward a more hopeful and sustainable world.
