  • UltraS Archival Print by David Molesky

    David Molesky UltraS Archival Print by David Molesky

    UltraS Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by David Molesky, a Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 24x20 "This painting is the masterpiece from my series of paintings based on media images of the revolution in Kiev. It's the largest of the eight paintings so far and the one that I spent the most time on. I feel like 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 painting. For the last decade or so I had tried to depict universal time and avoided man-made objects. I've dropped that dogma. I love that the subject is current, and also 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 David Molesky's "UltraS" in the Landscape of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork David Molesky's "UltraS" emerges as a significant piece within the modern landscape of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, presenting a stirring visual narrative that blends contemporary unrest with a sense of timeless struggle. As a limited edition series, Molesky offers only fifty archival pigment prints on 310gsm fine art paper, each piece signed and numbered, underscoring this work's exclusivity and collectible nature. Sized at an impactful 24x20 inches, "UltraS" is a cornerstone of Molesky's artistic evolution. The artwork transcends the conventional boundaries of street art by integrating the raw vigor of graffiti with the sophisticated depth of fine art. Molesky’s technique is marked by meticulous attention to detail and a rich palette that echoes the hues of historical film tones, infusing the piece with a unique vintage quality despite its contemporary subject. The scene depicted is one of chaotic beauty, set against a backdrop of revolution—a reference to the events that transpired in Kyiv. Through his art, Molesky captures the turbulence of these times, channeling the dynamic energy and emotion that define moments of societal upheaval. In "UltraS," the focal point is the figure clad in an old-school puffy down jacket, a style choice that intentionally bridges eras, connecting the present to the past. This figure is set against the fiery blaze that engulfs what appears to be a derelict vehicle, with the thick smoke and flames rendered with such realism that they seem to leap off the paper. The contrast between the stoic determination of the figure and the destructive environment around him serves as a potent metaphor for resilience in the face of chaos. Molesky’s shift from his prior figurative work to a narrative that embraces artificial objects and contemporary events marks a significant pivot in his artistic journey. By discarding his previous avoidance of temporal elements, he forges a new path that allows him to comment on current events through his art. The "UltraS" series, particularly this piece, reflects this transformation, as Molesky immerses himself in street art's raw, unfiltered essence while maintaining a delicate art sensibility. The significance of "UltraS" within street pop art and graffiti Art lies in its aesthetic, historical relevance, and ability to capture a snapshot of revolutionary spirit. It is a visual exploration of the human condition, a poignant reminder of art's power to document, express, and move. For collectors and enthusiasts, owning a piece of the "UltraS" series is not just an acquisition of visual art but an embrace of a story, a moment in time, and a piece of the artist’s soul. Embracing Modernity and Nostalgia in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork With "UltraS," Molesky delves into a realm where modernity and nostalgia intersect, presenting a visual discourse that is as thought-provoking as it is aesthetically pleasing. The inclusion of graffiti-like elements—such as the word "UltraS" scrawled on the side of the burning vehicle—grounds the work in the street art tradition, a form known for its subversive edge and connection to the voices of the disenchanted and the rebellious. Yet, the chaos is elegant, a curated composition that elevates the piece from mere street art to a form of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork that holds its own in galleries and sophisticated art collections. Molesky's commitment to authenticity and ability to distill complex narratives into a single frame sets "UltraS" apart. In the pop art tradition, it comments on culture and society, but it does so with the grit and earnestness of graffiti, capturing the zeitgeist in a raw and refined way. The limited edition nature of these prints further adds to their value, not just in monetary terms but also in the cultural weight they carry as artifacts of a pivotal era in art. Through "UltraS," David Molesky invites us to reflect on the intersections of art, society, and history. His work is a testament to the enduring power of visual storytelling and the evolving landscape of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, where every stroke, color, and form is imbued with meaning and resonates with the viewer long after the first glance.

    Denial- Daniel Bombardier I Will Love You Until The End HPM Stencil Wood Print by Denial- Daniel Bombardier

    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.

PP Printer Proof 2019 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x36 Archival Pigment Fine Art Jeff Soto's 'The Californian' PP Printer's Proof: A Convergence of Street and Fine Art Jeff Soto, an esteemed figure in the pop art and graffiti scene, presents "The Californian," a PP (Printer's Proof) archival print that encapsulates the intersection of street art sensibilities with the refinement of fine art printmaking. Released as a limited edition print on natural museum fine art paper in 2019, each piece in this collection is meticulously signed and marked as a Printer's Proof by Soto himself, attesting to the work's authenticity and exclusivity within the art community. Sized at 24x36 inches, this archival pigment fine art print represents Soto's exploration of thematic and stylistic elements that resonate deeply with the essence of California, rendered through a modern artistic lens. Jeff Soto's work often traverses the surreal and fantastical, and "The Californian" is no exception. The artwork is a visual narrative, rich with symbolism and imbued with the fantastical elements characteristic of Soto's style. The use of vibrant colors, intricate designs, and robotic figures intertwined with natural elements speaks to the complex relationship between technology and the natural world. Soto's work contemplates the evolving landscape of California—a place renowned for its technological advancements and breathtaking natural beauty. Technique and Symbolism in 'The Californian' Creating a Printer's Proof, like "The Californian," involves a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that bridges the gap between the raw, expressive energy of street art and the precision of fine art printmaking. The PP designation is traditionally used to denote prints that verify the printed edition's quality. In the case of limited editions, they are often highly coveted by collectors for their closeness to the artist's original vision. Soto's decision to create a PP edition reflects a nod to the traditional printmaking process and an acknowledgment of the print as an artwork in its own right. In "The Californian," Soto's use of archival pigment on fine art paper ensures that the rich textures and depths of color are preserved, providing a print that stands the test of time physically and conceptually. The piece is a dialogue between the immediacy and impermanence of graffiti art and the enduring nature of fine art prints, allowing the work to be appreciated in diverse settings, from urban walls to gallery spaces. Cultural Impact of Jeff Soto's 'The Californian' "The Californian" PP Printer's Proof is a testament to Jeff Soto's enduring impact on street pop art and graffiti artwork. By transposing his work from large-scale murals to the more intimate medium of fine art prints, Soto enables a broader audience to engage with his artistic vision. The cultural impact of this piece lies in its ability to convey a narrative that is at once personal and universal, reflecting the artist's Californian roots while addressing global concerns about the intersection of human innovation and nature. Moreover, the artwork underscores the transformative power of street art, from an often ephemeral urban expression to a lasting artifact of contemporary culture. Soto's work, particularly in the form of limited edition prints like "The Californian," invites ongoing discourse on the role of street art in the contemporary art world, challenging perceptions and encouraging a reevaluation of the boundaries between street art, pop art, and fine art. "The Californian" by Jeff Soto is a vibrant representation of the fusion of street art's spontaneity and the longevity of fine art prints. As a PP Printer's Proof, it is a collector's item that captures a moment in Soto's artistic journey. It offers insight into the complexities and dualities that define the modern Californian identity and the broader human experience.

  • No Lifeguard On Duty Archival Print by Jessica Hess

    Jessica Hess No Lifeguard On Duty Archival Print by Jessica Hess

    No Lifeguard On Duty Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Jessica Hess Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "Friends have been telling me for years that I needed to explore Detroit. I finally had the opportunity to do so last summer (2014). It was an urbex wonderland! I only had two short days to gather photo references of the city for my paintings and was overwhelmed by the volume of material. My paintings seek to capture the wonder and excitement in exploring what was once familiar, now otherworldly, the beauty in decay. My painting " No Lifeguard in Duty" was from the Brewster Wheeler Recreation Center. I am told that it has now been slated for redevelopment. I guess the graffiti party is over. Sadly, the majority of my subjects disappear soon after I paint them. It makes me feel like some kind of Grim Reaper of architecture. But for years now I have had remarkable luck in capturing them before they go." - Jessica Hess

    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.

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.

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.
