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 Embellished Artwork Size 24x36 Wood Cradled Ready to Hang. I Will Love You Until The End by Denial: Innocence and Apocalypse in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork I Will Love You Until The End is a 2015 limited edition hand-embellished mixed media artwork by Canadian pop and graffiti artist Denial. Each piece in the edition of five is uniquely created using spray paint, stencil, acrylic, and layered mixed media on a cradled wood panel measuring 24 x 36 inches. Signed and ready to hang, this large-scale painting merges emotional sincerity with a biting critique of global instability and modern chaos. It is a visual contradiction where romantic imagery collides with the language of war, solidifying Denial’s signature approach to Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork as both emotionally provocative and conceptually subversive. Contrasting Visual Elements and Emotional Duality The focal point of the work is the silhouette of a young boy and girl standing face to face, poised in a moment of tender affection. The boy hides a bouquet of flowers behind his back, a symbol of innocent love and youthful vulnerability. Behind them, however, explodes a massive mushroom cloud rendered in stark contrast with vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange. This apocalyptic backdrop shatters the serenity of the foreground, suggesting that even the purest moments of love are not immune to the violent consequences of human decision-making. The boy’s gesture of giving and the girl’s attentive stance become metaphors for fragile hope amid destruction, underscoring how love persists in the shadow of looming catastrophe. Materials, Texture, and Hand-Painted Process Each work is created on wood panel, lending the artwork a raw, physical weight consistent with the grittiness of its street-art origins. The hand-embellished nature of the edition ensures that every panel is uniquely layered with stencil elements, expressive spray paint, and intentional imperfections. The use of negative space in the silhouettes contrasts with the explosively detailed background, drawing the viewer’s eye directly into the visual dialogue between affection and annihilation. The tactile nature of the panel surface and the layering of medium give depth and intensity to the emotional tension within the piece. Denial’s Vision and Cultural Commentary Denial, born Daniel Bombardier, is known for using irony, contradiction, and layered symbolism to critique media, consumerism, and political complacency. In I Will Love You Until The End, his use of youthful silhouettes is not nostalgic but intentionally ironic. The innocence of childhood becomes a symbol of hope, threatened by the ever-present specter of conflict. Denial’s art often exposes the absurdity of modern ideologies, and here he asks whether love can endure when the world is on fire. This piece reflects the duality often found in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork—beauty versus chaos, sincerity versus spectacle, and human emotion standing resilient against systems of destruction. Through visual metaphor and confrontational aesthetics, Denial invites viewers to consider not only the fragility of affection but also its power in the face of oblivion.

Punishment- Red Hand-Pulled 1-Color Silkscreen Print on 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper by Desirable Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 125 Artwork Size 36x36 “One of the main inspirations that I have is anger. 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.
