    Scott Listfield The Reef Giclee Print by Scott Listfield

    The Reef Giclee Print by Scott Listfield Artwork Limited Edition Print on 310gsm Museum Grade Archival Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18x24 Scott Listfield is an American contemporary artist who is best known for his paintings of a lone astronaut exploring various landscapes and cityscapes. "The Reef" is a giclee print featuring his iconic astronaut character. The print depicts the astronaut standing on a rock formation in the middle of a vast ocean, with a coral reef visible beneath the surface of the water but no its the Statue of Liberty! The sky is painted in shades of blue with wispy clouds adding to the dreamy and surreal atmosphere of the image. Listfield's use of a solitary figure in his paintings creates a sense of isolation and introspection, while the futuristic astronaut suit symbolizes exploration and discovery, sea rise & global warming. The underwater setting of "The Reef" adds a layer of mystery and intrigue to the piece, as if the astronaut has discovered a hidden world beneath the waves. Giclee printing is a high-quality fine art printing process that uses archival pigment inks to produce images with exceptional color accuracy and sharpness. This makes it an ideal medium for reproducing Listfield's detailed and intricate paintings.

  • Mickey Hiroshima Archival Print by Jeff Gillette

    Jeff Gillette Mickey Hiroshima Archival Print by Jeff Gillette

    Mickey Hiroshima Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Rag Paper by Jeff Gillette Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 30 Size 14x9 "I am from the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. In the late 1980s, I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal for two years. During this two-year stint, I visited every major city in India, finding myself exploring the huge slums found there. On my return home, I moved from the Mid-West to escape the snow to teach High School Art in Orange County, California. Since finishing my MFA at Cal State Fullerton, I have been exhibiting in galleries both at home and abroad. My work is most often landscapes. A major portion of my output is paintings of slums of the developing world, where I often add an element of western cultural privilege (and oblivion) into settings of urban blight. Inspiration for what I call “Slumscapes” comes from the first-hand experience of traveling. Most often I return over and over to my favorite destination: India. In the vast poverty-stricken fringes of its vast megalopolises, I trip out on how the economic disparities are obscenely extreme. I’ve been spending a lot of time in Mumbai slums: photographing, filming, creating Plein Aire paintings, and creating interactive street art. Besides depicting slums, my artwork portrays post-apocalyptic debris fields, landfills, and detritus-cluttered deserts. The Juxtaposition of Disney themes and beloved characters (i.e.: Mickey Mouse) with all these dystopias best conveys my personal views. Pondering contemporary social, political, economical and philosophical conundrums, I can’t help but feel absurdly helpless, pessimistic and humored about the future of Western Civilization…" - Jeff Gillette

  • 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

    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.

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.
