Hi-Fi AP Dance Floor Riot Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled 1-Color Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Graffiti Pop Street Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2011 Signed & AP Marked Limited Edition Artwork Size 13x13 "Long before I knew about art galleries or even street art, I was excited about album cover art, if only because it was the visual counterpart to the music on the records I loved. Album covers conjured a euphoric association with the listening experience. Most of my earliest home-made tee shirts were stencils based on punk album covers… No matter how much I love art, or try to convince myself of its relevance in society, the fact remains that music is a lot cooler and way more able to reach people’s hearts and minds… but I’m a populist and I look at it this way: I may not play an instrument, but I’m gonna rock it hard as nails anyway. With my art I try to capture the same energy and spirit that makes music so powerful and democratic. REVOLUTIONS is a celebration of all the great music and accompanying art that has inspired me over the years." -Shepard Fairey Hi-Fi AP by Shepard Fairey: A Tribute to Punk and Graffiti Pop Street Art The Hi-Fi Artist Proof silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is a bold exploration of the intersection between music, rebellion, and Street Pop Art. Created in 2011, this limited-edition Artist Proof measures 13 by 13 inches and was hand-pulled as a one-color silkscreen print on fine art paper. Signed and marked as an Artist Proof by Fairey, this piece is a rare collector’s item that pays homage to the aesthetic and cultural impact of punk music and album art. The design features a figure with a sharp, stylized jacket adorned with music-inspired elements. The phrases Burn It Down, Lost Souls, The Enemy, F.S.U., and Movin On cascade down the image like a punk rock playlist, evoking the raw energy of the punk scene. A leopard-print border adds texture and contrast, reflecting the bold, unapologetic attitude associated with punk culture. Fairey’s meticulous use of line work and negative space emphasizes the dynamic interplay between the central figure and the surrounding design elements, creating a visually arresting composition. The Influence of Music on Shepard Fairey’s Art Shepard Fairey has often credited music as one of the most significant influences in his artistic journey. Hi-Fi AP exemplifies his ability to channel the spirit and energy of music into visual form. The design draws heavily on the DIY ethos of punk rock, where album covers and merchandise served as canvases for artistic expression. Fairey’s work reflects this connection by incorporating elements that evoke the tactile and immediate qualities of vinyl records, zines, and handmade posters. The leopard-print motif and gritty typography reinforce the rebellious aesthetic of punk, while the inclusion of track titles creates a narrative that connects music to the emotions and experiences it represents. Fairey’s ability to encapsulate the cultural significance of music in his work highlights his deep understanding of its role as a unifying force. Hi-Fi AP is not just a piece of art; it is a visual celebration of the energy, individuality, and community that music fosters.

Printed on fine art paper, the piece achieves a refined finish that enhances its visual and tactile appeal. As an Artist Proof, this print holds a special significance within the edition, often representing the artist’s experimentation and refinement of the design. The choice of silkscreen printing aligns with Fairey’s roots in graffiti and street art, where stencils and hand-pulled prints are integral to the medium. This traditional approach, combined with modern graphic sensibilities, makes Hi-Fi AP a compelling example of contemporary Street Pop Art.

Celine Giclee Print by Bec Winnel Artwork Limited Edition Print on Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2014 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Artwork Size 12x13 Pale Woman with Flower in Her Hair. The Ethereal Beauty of Celine by Bec Winnel The giclee print titled "Celine" by the Australian artist Bec Winnel is a masterpiece that sits at the intersection of traditional portraiture and Street Pop Art, a limited edition offering that comprises only 25 signed and numbered pieces. This artwork, measuring 11.5x13 inches, captures the viewer's gaze with the delicate depiction of a pale woman adorned with a flower in her hair, a motif ripe with symbolism and quiet introspection. Bec Winnel's approach in "Celine" is one of intimate portraiture. The subject's pale visage and the soft pink tones of her hair offer a stark yet gentle contrast to the bold and often brash world of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. The flower, a timeless symbol of nature's fleeting beauty, is rendered with such care that it seems to whisper stories of life's transient nature. The artwork, though rooted in the techniques of fine art, communicates the essence of street art through its emotional impact and accessibility. The use of giclee printing ensures that each nuance of Winnel's delicate pencil and pastel work is captured with precision, allowing the fine gradations of color and detail to shine through. This form of high-quality reproduction democratizes art, aligning with the Street Pop Art ethos of making art available to a wider audience beyond the confines of galleries and exclusive collections. Bec Winnel and the Contemporary Art Scene Bec Winnel, while perhaps not as widely recognized as some street artists, has earned a respected place within the contemporary art scene for her distinct blend of realism and fantasy. Her work often features women in moments of deep contemplation, surrounded by elements of the natural world that serve to underline their connection to the environment and to the cycles of life and death. This connection resonates with the thematic preoccupations of Street Pop Art, where the dialogue between the urban landscape and nature is frequently explored. "Celine" represents a poetic pause in the hustle of the street art world, inviting viewers to reflect on the softer side of humanity. The limited edition nature of the print adds a layer of exclusivity, yet Winnel's artistry bridges the gap between the elite art world and the democratic nature of street art. By creating a fine art paper version of her work, she extends an invitation to a broader audience to engage with her art in their own spaces. The allure of "Celine" lies in its ability to evoke a sense of ethereal beauty and vulnerability, characteristics that are often overshadowed in the bustling, dynamic spaces where Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork typically reside. The print holds a mirror to the quieter, more reflective aspects of human experience, much like a mural tucked away in a quiet corner of a busy city street might do. The enduring impact of "Celine" is its subtle challenge to the viewer: to slow down, to appreciate the beauty in stillness, and to consider the depth of the human experience. Winnel's choice to portray a woman in a moment of vulnerability is a powerful statement within the broader context of Street Pop Art, often dominated by louder, more aggressive themes. As "Celine" finds its home with collectors and art enthusiasts, it continues to weave its narrative, one that is as relevant today as it was in 2014. It stands as a testament to the possibilities of cross-pollination between the worlds of fine art and street art, a testament to the power of beauty and vulnerability in an often harsh and unforgiving world. Through her art, Bec Winnel contributes to the evolving story of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, ensuring that the narrative remains as diverse and multifaceted as the human experience itself.
