  • Cruiser Red Skateboard Art Deck by Gats- Graffiti Against The System

    Gats- Graffiti Against The System Cruiser Red Skateboard Art Deck by Gats- Graffiti Against The System

    Cruiser- Red Fine Art Limited Edition Screen Print on Wood Skateboard Deck by Street Artwork Graffiti Artist Gats- Graffiti Against The System. 2018 Rare Edition of 25 Skateboard Deck. SpokeArt produced cruiser by GATS PTV for ComplexCon 2018 Red Edition of 25 Screen Printed Skate Deck Size: 9" x 32" from Oakland, CA. The Artistic Revolution on Wheels: "Cruiser - Red" by GATS The "Cruiser - -Red" skateboard deck, a limited edition piece by the street artist GATS, is a symbolic piece that showcases the fusion of street pop art & graffiti artwork with the cultural phenomenon of skateboarding. Produced by SpokeArt for ComplexCon in 2018, this rare collectible is one of only 25 pieces, making it an exclusive acquisition for art collectors and skate enthusiasts. This unique screen print on wood measures 9 inches by 32 inches and originates from Oakland, CA, a city known for its rich street art scene. GATS, an acronym for Graffiti Against The System, is an artist whose identity remains as enigmatic as the masked figures that populate his works. His art is a social commentary, often touching upon anonymity, freedom, and resistance against societal structures. The "Cruiser - Red" deck features a striking red background that amplifies the intricate black and white illustration, a hallmark of GATS' distinctive style. The central motif – a pair of eyes within a mask – is a recurring element in GATS' work, symbolizing the gaze of the disenfranchised and the overlooked. The screen print on wood infuses the skateboard deck with a dual nature: a functional object meant to traverse the urban landscape and a portable canvas that carries the weight of a message. This duality encapsulates the essence of street art – its mobility, accessibility, and ability to engage with the public in a dialogue about the space it occupies. Collectible Artistry: GATS' "Cruiser - Red" in the Pantheon of Pop Art In the pantheon of contemporary art, "Cruiser-Red" by GATS occupies a unique position. The limited edition nature of the piece – with only 25 in existence – elevates it from a mere object to a sought-after piece of collectible art. Each skateboard deck is a testament to the artist's commitment to creating art that is not only visually compelling but also scarce and special. A deep understanding of graffiti's cultural and political undertones characterizes GATS's artistry. His work on the "Cruiser - Red" deck celebrates the defiant spirit of street art and its ability to communicate complex messages through simple yet powerful imagery. The deck serves not just as a piece of art to be hung on a wall but as a statement piece that challenges the conventions of what constitutes fine art. GATS' choice of medium – a skateboard deck – is a nod to the subversive culture of skateboarding, which, much like street art, has its roots in the fringes of society, embodying a sense of rebellion and nonconformity. The "Cruiser-Red" is thus more than an object; it's a cultural artifact that captures the spirit of its time and the ethos of its creator. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork: The Movement and the Medium Street pop art & graffiti artwork is a movement that blurs the lines between illicit street graffiti and the curated spaces of galleries. Artists like GATS bridge this divide by creating works capable of existing in both realms. The "Cruiser-Red" is a prime example of this crossover, a piece that carries the raw edge of street graffiti into the world of fine art collecting. The artwork speaks to a broader audience, drawing in those who might not traditionally engage with graffiti and inviting them to appreciate the nuances of this vibrant art form. The limited edition "Cruiser-Red" is more than a mere expression; it is a physical embodiment of the artist's message, a medium through which GATS communicates his worldview. In owning a piece like the "Cruiser-Red," collectors hold a snapshot of the artist's narrative, a piece of the conversation that GATS is having with the world through his art. It is an ever-evolving narrative, much like the streets from which it was born and the culture it represents. In the realm of street pop art & graffiti artwork, GATS' "Cruiser - -Red" is a landmark creation. It encapsulates the essence of street art – its vibrancy, immediacy, and ability to convey profound messages in the most unexpected places. Through works like the "Cruiser-Red," the conversation about what art can be and where it can exist continues, as does the legacy of artists who dare to make their marks on the world.

    Eddie Colla Salvage Can 3 Original Spray Paint Can Sculpture Painting Eddie Colla

    Salvage Can 3 Original Painting on Spray Paint Can Mixed Media Sculpture Artwork by street artist graffiti legend Eddie Colla. 2018 Signed Original Spray Paint Acrylic Mixed Media on Spray Paint Can Artwork Size 3x8 "I made this series of cans in China in 2018. I had been waiting for supplies to start working on larger pieces. The residency where I was had kept all their empty spray cans. I started making these small pieces from the used spray cans. It wasn't anything I planned; I just had an unexpected amount of free time waiting for my materials to arrive, so I worked with what was available. Each can is signed and dated on the bottom of the can." -Eddie Colla. Eddie Colla's Creative Philosophy "Salvage Can 3" by Eddie Colla is a striking mixed-media sculpture that exemplifies the innovative nature of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Created in 2018 as part of a series during a residency in China, this artwork represents a unique fusion of spontaneity and intentionality that defines Colla's approach to art. Utilizing discarded spray paint cans as his canvas, Colla transformed these objects into thought-provoking artworks, each signed and dated, capturing his signature style and commentary on contemporary issues. In the "Salvage Can" series, Eddie Colla embraced the unexpected interlude in his creative process to produce a series that reflects a core principle of street art: the ability to create with whatever materials. "Salvage Can 3" manifests Colla's resourcefulness and artistic agility. This series speaks to the essence of street art's improvisational nature, with Colla repurposing the used spray cans from his residency to craft pieces that stand as a testament to the transformative power of art. Artistic Expression in "Salvage Can 3" The visual language of "Salvage Can 3" communicates a poignant narrative. The figure depicted on the can, partially obscured by what appears to be a mask, invites viewers to ponder themes of identity, concealment, and the human condition in the modern world. Using spray paint and acrylic, traditional mediums in graffiti artwork, on an unconventional substrate highlights Colla's skills in mixed media and his ability to push the boundaries of street pop art. Cultural Impact of Eddie Colla's Work Eddie Colla is not merely a street artist but a cultural commentator whose works resonate with a global audience. "Salvage Can 3," like the rest of the series, is more than an object of visual intrigue; it is a commentary on the times and an expression of individuality amidst collective narratives. Colla's work is renowned for its critical engagement with socio-political themes, and this piece is no exception. It is a cultural artifact that challenges viewers to question and reflect, embodying the rebellious spirit that often characterizes graffiti art. Significance in the Art Market The collectible nature of "Salvage Can 3" lies in its unique origin story and the reputation of Eddie Colla as a graffiti legend. Each can be individual, marked by Colla's hand and signature, and carries the story of its creation—making it a coveted item for street art collectors. These pieces occupy a special place in the art market, bridging the gap between temporary street murals and enduring art collectibles. "Salvage Can 3" is not just a mixed media sculpture; it is a piece of the ongoing narrative of street pop art and its evolution in the contemporary art scene. "Salvage Can 3" profoundly reflects Eddie Colla's ability to capture the ethos of street pop art and graffiti artwork within a singular object. Through his innovative use of materials and poignant visual storytelling, Colla continues to influence and define the street art genre. This work stands as a reminder of the power of art to adapt and thrive, even in unexpected places and forms, resonating with a universal audience and cementing Colla's status as a pivotal figure in the world of art.

  • We Are the Jocular Clan Offset Lithograph Print by Takashi Murakami TM/KK

    Takashi Murakami TM/KK We Are the Jocular Clan Offset Lithograph Print by Takashi Murakami TM/KK

    We Are the Jocular Clan Offset Lithograph Print by Takashi Murakami TM/KK Print on Smooth Wove Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Hand-Pulled Street Pop Artwork Graffiti. 2018 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Offset Lithograph Artwork Print Size 19.63x19.63 Kaikai Kiki Co. Ltd., Tokyo. Decoding the Visual Symphony of Takashi Murakami's "We Are the Jocular Clan" The fusion of contemporary art and street culture is magnificently encapsulated in Takashi Murakami's offset lithograph print, "We Are the Jocular Clan." This limited edition piece, hand-pulled on smooth-wove fine art paper, is a quintessential example of street pop and graffiti artwork. Murakami, a stalwart in the post-modern art scene, is renowned for blurring the boundaries between high and low culture, a theme that resonates deeply in this 2018 creation. The artwork, signed and numbered, comprises a limited series of 300 prints, each sized at 19.63x19.63 inches, and presents a visual narrative that is both playful and profound. Takashi Murakami's Artistic Legacy and Street Pop Artistry Murakami's aesthetic, often categorized under the Superflat movement, indicates his deep engagement with the historical and contemporary visual language. "We Are the Jocular Clan" showcases Murakami's iconic design elements, such as the smiling flowers and whimsical eyes, that have become synonymous with his name. These motifs are not just recurring visual themes but are also imbued with cultural significance, drawing from Japanese art traditions and the global impact of anime and manga. The juxtaposition of traditional Japanese art with the anarchic energy of street art and graffiti forms a complex, layered tapestry of meanings that challenge the viewer's perception of art, culture, and society. Materiality and Craftsmanship in Murakami's Printmaking The craftsmanship in producing "We Are the Jocular Clan" is a testament to the meticulous processes behind fine art printmaking. The decision to use offset lithography is a nod to the democratization of art, a principle often celebrated in street pop art. This method allows for a wider dissemination of Murakami's work, making it accessible to a broader audience and not just the echelons of art collectors. The smooth-wove fine art paper is a canvas that captures the original artwork's vibrant colors and intricate details, ensuring that each piece, though part of a series, retains a sense of uniqueness and individuality. Cultural Dialogue Through Murakami's Visual Language "We Are the Jocular Clan" is not merely an object of visual delight but a cultural dialogue articulated through Murakami's distinct visual language. The piece embodies the essence of street pop art — it is accessible yet complex, severe yet playful, and individual yet universal. Murakami's work bridges the street and the gallery, inviting interpretations across diverse cultural and social contexts. It reflects the artist's philosophical inquiries into the nature of joy, the constructs of clan-like communities, and the role of art as a communal experience. In contemporary art, Murakami's work has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is considered art, just as graffiti once pushed against the boundaries of legality and acceptance in public spaces. "We Are the Jocular Clan" holds within its vibrant composition the revolutionary spirit of street art, the aesthetic pleasures of pop art, and the conceptual depth of contemporary art practices. Much like Murakami's oeuvre, this artwork catalyzes the ongoing discourse about the intersections and divergences within art forms and the evolving narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork.

For this show, I want to create an exhibition that I could only pull off with Inner State & 1xRUN. In order to do that I took full advantage of the tools and technology that they have in their on-site studio. From silkscreen reproduction to hand-embellished prints, to laser cut editions, this show will truly push the boundary of the kind of artwork I've created and explore the merging of art and commerce,” Chueh said while working in from his Los Angeles studios. For the last 20 years, Chueh has remained a fixture of the contemporary art movement, straddling the line between fine art, lowbrow, limited edition vinyl toys, and fine art prints engaging each segment with an equally devoted fanbase. In addition to creating accessible works for collectors of all price points, Damaged Goods will also feature 15 of Chueh’s signature paintings and characters.“As a working artist, I'm constantly dividing my time between the development of my studio art and the production of various products inspired by that artwork. I'm always searching for ways to re-interpret the stories and characters in my paintings and take advantage of collector trends, whether it be limited edition prints or art toys.” Luke Chueh

Eyes

The Symbolic Representation of Eyes in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Eyes have long been a captivating subject in art and symbolism, and their representation in street pop art and graffiti artwork is no exception. In these expressive forms, eyes are not just visual elements; they carry deep meanings and reflect the artists' perspectives on various themes. Street artists often utilize the imagery of eyes to convey emotions, social commentary, or political statements, making them a powerful tool for expression in public spaces. In street art, the eye can be a mirror to the soul of a city, reflecting its hidden stories and unspoken truths. The use of eyes in street pop art and graffiti takes on various forms and styles, from realistic depictions to abstract interpretations. Some artists may use eyes to create a sense of connection with the viewer, drawing them into a dialogue with the artwork. Others may use them to challenge societal norms or to bring attention to overlooked issues. The gaze of the eye in these artworks can be confronting, questioning, or empathetic, depending on the artist's intention. In many instances, the representation of eyes in street art goes beyond mere aesthetics. It can be a form of resistance or protest, a way for artists to assert their presence in a rapidly changing urban environment. In cities marked by gentrification and commercialization, the eyes in street art can symbolize the watchful gaze of the community, a reminder of the human stories and histories that permeate these spaces.

Integration of Eyes in Modern Street Pop Art Movements

In contemporary street pop art movements, the depiction of eyes is often integrated with other pop culture elements, creating a blend of the familiar and the surreal. This juxtaposition can highlight the absurdity of certain aspects of modern life or comment on the pervasive nature of media and surveillance in our society. The use of vibrant colors and bold lines, typical of pop art, adds to the impact of these depictions, making them stand out in the urban landscape. Moreover, the eye motif in graffiti artwork has evolved with new techniques and materials. Artists now have access to various tools for more detailed and intricate representations. This has led to a diversification in the style and execution of eye-themed street art, with some artists achieving photorealistic effects.
In contrast, others experiment with more abstract or stylized approaches. The influence of digital media and technology is also evident in how street art portrays eyes. Digital techniques enable artists to create more complex and layered compositions, blending traditional graffiti with digital imagery. This fusion broadens the scope of street art and allows artists to reach wider audiences through social media and digital platforms.

Impact of Eye Imagery on Public Perception and Engagement

The impact of eye imagery in street pop art and graffiti on public perception and engagement is significant. Eyes in street art often act as focal points, drawing the attention of passersby and inviting them to engage with the artwork. They can evoke emotions, from empathy and curiosity to discomfort and introspection. This emotional engagement is critical to the power of street art, as it creates a space for reflection and dialogue within the public sphere. Furthermore, the universal symbolism of the eye allows these artworks to transcend cultural and linguistic barriers, making them accessible to a diverse audience. This universality is essential in urban environments where people from various backgrounds coexist. As a symbol, the eye can thus serve as a bridge between different communities, fostering a sense of shared experience and understanding.

The Continuing Evolution of Eye Imagery in Street Art

As street pop art and graffiti continue to evolve, the representation of eyes is likely to remain a prominent theme. With each new generation of artists, new interpretations and techniques will emerge, keeping the imagery fresh and relevant. The eye, in all its forms, will continue to be a powerful symbol in the lexicon of street artists, a testament to the enduring ability of art to reflect and shape our perceptions of the world around us. Whether as a window to the soul or a mirror of society, the eyes in street art will continue to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the power of visual expression in our everyday lives.
