    Bec Winnel Tyler Giclee Print by Bec Winnel

    Tyler 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 10.5x16 Blue/White Haired Young Woman Close Up on Face. Reflective Intimacy in "Tyler" by Bec Winnel The "Tyler" giclee print by Bec Winnel, a celebrated Australian artist, is a striking testament to the confluence of Street Pop Art and portraiture on fine art paper. This 2014 signed and numbered limited edition of 25, sized at 10.5x16 inches, offers a mesmerizing close-up of a young woman with blue and white hair. This subject blends contemporary aesthetics with classic finesse. Winnel's work, particularly the "Tyler" print, diverges from the common perceptions of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, often associated with bold lines and vibrant colors splashed across public spaces. Instead, Winnel brings the essence of this movement into a more nuanced realm, where the subtlety of expression and the depth of gaze speak volumes. The subject's blue and white hair, often seen as a symbol of individuality in modern pop culture, contrasts with her timeless facial features, creating a piece that transcends eras and styles. The choice of giclee printing allows for an extraordinary level of detail, capturing the soft transitions of tone and the delicate textures that characterize Winnel's style. This method of art is synonymous with the highest quality in today's printmaking technology, much like the precision required in creating impactful street art. The limited availability of "Tyler" further emphasizes its value, echoing the often transient nature of street art that, once created, may only exist briefly before it is transformed or erased. While Bec Winnel may not wield a spray can on an alley wall, her artwork like "Tyler" carries the spirit of Street Pop Art into personal spaces, proving that the essence of this genre can manifest beyond concrete and brick. Her work encapsulates the introspective humanity that street artists often seek to express through their public works. The limited edition "Tyler" bridges the gap between the public art typically associated with street and graffiti artists and the private, contemplative experience of engaging with fine art.

Face & Head
Pop art, street art, and graffiti art are dynamic genres that have left a notable impact on contemporary visual culture, with the face and head often emerging as central themes. This motif, universally recognized and instantly engaging, has been utilized by artists for its potent ability to convey a myriad of emotions, messages, and identities. The bold, provocative world of pop art first began to champion the face and head in the mid-20th century. Icons such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein used this motif to challenge cultural norms, presenting familiar faces - often celebrities - in unexpected ways. Warhol's multicolored depictions of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and other celebrities, for instance, elevated these figures to the status of mass-produced commodities, critiquing the consumerist culture of the time. Lichtenstein, on the other hand, drew from comic books, using the exaggerated expressions of his characters to comment on society's emotional sterility. Street art and graffiti, which originated from the urban underground, have also widely employed the face and head motif. These art forms often serve as a platform for social and political commentary, and the face's universality makes it a powerful tool for artists to communicate with their audience. Banksy, an anonymous England-based street artist, often uses stenciled images of faces and heads to articulate messages of peace, rebellion, or social justice. On walls, buildings, and streets, these faces become a form of visual language that transcends boundaries, resonating with diverse audiences. In the realm of graffiti art, the face and head motif often emerges in the form of tags, throw-ups, and pieces. Notably, the stylized signatures or 'tags' of graffiti artists frequently incorporate face-like elements, signifying the artist's identity in a cryptic yet visually compelling manner. Artists such as SEEN and Dondi White have showcased their unique vision through the depiction of faces and heads, highlighting their individuality amidst the vast graffiti landscape. From the stylized and glamorous portraits of pop art to the raw and rebellious depictions in street and graffiti art, the face and head motif has remained a constant. It serves as a conduit for human emotion and identity, speaking volumes about the society in which it is embedded. Through the different lenses of pop, street, and graffiti art, the face and head motif continues to challenge, provoke, and captivate, making it a cornerstone of these vibrant art movements.
