Tempest- 22x30 Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by N.C. Winters Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "I have made a few paintings that incorporate a series of narratives that revolve around my relationship to my son as a father and this is the next major piece in that ongoing series. I imagine this series may last for several decades as I explore what it means to be a dad and watch my son grow and evolve and create his own world. Interestingly, the previous piece and origin of this series were with a previous 1XRUN release: “Overdrive.” Tempest” has several layers of meaning that correspond with various states of the mind and the aforementioned experience of being a father. To dispel the immediate question, no, it does not refer to a troublesome, tempestuous child, but more to the overwhelming complexity that comes from raising a new life and what that means for your own existence, not to mention the whirlwind of life that he must be experiencing concurrently. I leave the viewer to extrapolate other personal meanings from that jumping-off point." - N.C. Winters

Habibi- Dame HPM Pop Street Artwork Limited Edition Giclee Print With Acrylic & Diamond Dust on Photographique Rag Paper by Urban Graffiti Modern Artist Marwan Shahin. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 33 Marwan Shahin's "HABIBI" series an iconic portrait of Lebanese singer Fairuz interpreted throughout different stages of experiencing love, This very limited edition of 33, which each print is intricately arranged with a filigree of Diamond Dust to produce visually intoxicating kaleidoscope-like effects. Habibi: Dame by Marwan Shahin – A Diamond-Dusted Tribute to Love and Legacy Marwan Shahin’s Habibi: Dame stands as a visually powerful homage to Fairuz, the legendary Lebanese singer and cultural icon. Created in 2022 as part of the HABIBI series, this limited edition of only 33 signed and numbered pieces showcases Shahin’s unique ability to fuse emotive portraiture with contemporary street pop art aesthetics. Executed as a Giclée print on Photographique Rag and hand-embellished with acrylic and diamond dust, the piece exudes both reverence and modern flair, embodying the enduring spirit of Fairuz through a modern visual dialect. The artwork presents a stark, black-and-white depiction of Fairuz’s face, defined by Shahin’s signature optical linework and dramatic lighting. Her gaze is upward, expressive, and timeless, framed by circular ripple-like waves that echo the tonal warmth and resonance of her voice. The intricate line patterns across her hair and facial features offer a hypnotic rhythm that feels simultaneously vintage and futuristic, aligning the singer’s cultural memory with contemporary visual form. The use of minimal color and strong contrast gives the image its compelling clarity, allowing every curve and contour to stand out in an almost celestial glow. A Modern Saint in Pop Art Halo Fairuz is one of the most celebrated voices in Arab music history, often considered a unifying figure across the Middle East. Shahin, an Egyptian artist known for his ability to recontextualize cultural figures through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artwork, elevates her to icon status in a way that transcends time and borders. By using diamond dust across select areas of the portrait, the piece gains a luminous, tactile quality that mimics the glittering impact of her presence in the Arab world. This glimmer isn’t just decorative—it deepens the aura, transforming the piece into a sacred relic of cultural devotion. The title Dame adds to this reverence. It places Fairuz not just in the pantheon of global musical excellence but frames her as a matriarchal force in Arab identity and artistic resilience. The halo-like rings behind her head subtly reference both vinyl records and saint-like iconography, creating an aesthetic bridge between musical legacy and divine inspiration. Love, Heritage, and the Heart of the HABIBI Series Marwan Shahin’s HABIBI series is rooted in the emotional spectrum of love, from longing to celebration, heartbreak to transcendence. In Dame, that emotionality is steeped in admiration and memory. This series doesn’t merely romanticize—it archives the phases of affection and cultural passion through a distinctly Arab pop lens. Shahin’s style, which blends traditional engraving techniques with a street-art pulse, allows this work to function both as personal expression and public monument. For collectors and fans of graffiti artwork and modern Arab aesthetics, Habibi: Dame offers a rare chance to own a piece of meaningful history—one that sits at the intersection of timeless music, visual innovation, and deeply rooted cultural reverence. The work affirms Shahin’s position as a voice for a new generation of Middle Eastern artists who navigate identity, nostalgia, and beauty through boundary-pushing visual storytelling.

Habibi- Demon HPM Pop Street Artwork Limited Edition Giclee Print With Acrylic & Diamond Dust on Photographique Rag Paper by Urban Graffiti Modern Artist Marwan Shahin. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 33 Marwan Shahin's "HABIBI" series an iconic portrait of Lebanese singer Fairuz interpreted throughout different stages of experiencing love, This very limited edition of 33, which each print is intricately arranged with a filigree of Diamond Dust to produce visually intoxicating kaleidoscope-like effects. Habibi: Demon by Marwan Shahin – The Darkest Mirror of Love Habibi: Demon by Marwan Shahin erupts as the most confrontational piece in his HABIBI series—a raw, unflinching portrayal of love at its most distorted and destructive. Signed and numbered in a limited edition of just 33 prints, this 2022 hand-embellished Giclée on Photographique Rag Paper combines acrylic and diamond dust with a violent visual vocabulary that stands apart from the rest of the collection. With sharp chromatic contrast, hallucinatory linework, and surreal horror-inspired iconography, Shahin captures a love that has curdled into obsession, vengeance, or emotional decay. At the center of the artwork, the face of legendary Lebanese singer Fairuz has been transfigured into a blazing red skull—eyes piercing, lips peeled into a skeletal grimace, and crowned with menacing horns. The symbolic use of red and black conjures danger, rage, and forbidden power, while the swirling cyan background draws viewers into a disorienting emotional vortex. This composition demands attention, not just for its aesthetic strength but for its thematic force: the seduction and toxicity of love once it crosses into the realm of self-destruction. Symbolic Violence and Cultural Reverberations Marwan Shahin reconfigures Fairuz—an icon of romantic melancholy and poetic longing—into a demonic muse, embodying how love can take the shape of madness, control, or spiritual fragmentation. The transformation is not arbitrary. In the arc of the HABIBI series, Demon represents the terminal stage of the romantic cycle Shahin has mapped: from yearning to revelation, and finally to emotional collapse. Here, Fairuz’s visage is consumed by inner turmoil, visually echoing the emotional scars hidden behind public personas and cultural expectations. The visual aggression is softened only slightly by the shimmering presence of diamond dust, which adorns the background with hypnotic glints. This layering of glamor over decay echoes the duality present throughout Shahin’s work: beauty masking suffering, intimacy corrupted by ego, and memory crystallized through trauma. Shahin’s use of optical patterns and stylized textures transforms this portrait into a kaleidoscope of chaos—modern love painted with a gothic pulse. A Masterstroke of Street Pop Art and Emotional Brutalism Habibi: Demon is not just a pop culture remix or an experimental graffiti artwork. It is an unfiltered emotional statement rendered through the language of street pop art, executed with exacting technique and deep psychological insight. Shahin’s graphic mastery—a blend of Middle Eastern visual heritage, revolutionary symbolism, and Western pop iconography—makes this print both a compelling piece of visual culture and an emotional weapon. In street pop art, artists often immortalize heroes, satirize leaders, or reframe history. But in this work, Shahin elevates emotional pain itself into the subject. The skeletonized Fairuz isn’t a caricature or villain. She is an archetype—the demon we all face when we confront the shadow side of our own desires, betrayals, and heartbreaks. This piece dares to say what others don’t: that love, when twisted, can become monstrous—and that there is strange, terrifying beauty in that truth. Habibi: Demon is a defiant addition to any serious collection of pop art or graffiti artwork, and a statement on the emotional extremes that define both human relationships and modern iconography.

Habibi- Dammed HPM Pop Street Artwork Limited Edition Giclee Print With Acrylic & Diamond Dust on Photographique Rag Paper by Urban Graffiti Modern Artist Marwan Shahin. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 33 Marwan Shahin's "HABIBI" series an iconic portrait of Lebanese singer Fairuz interpreted throughout different stages of experiencing love, This very limited edition of 33, which each print is intricately arranged with a filigree of Diamond Dust to produce visually intoxicating kaleidoscope-like effects. Habibi: Dammed by Marwan Shahin – A Keyhole Into the Fractures of Love Habibi: Dammed by Marwan Shahin is a haunting and emotionally saturated piece that continues the artist’s compelling exploration of Lebanese music legend Fairuz through the lens of modern street pop art. This 2022 work is part of the HABIBI series, a collection of limited edition Giclée prints—only 33 copies exist—each hand-embellished with acrylic and diamond dust on Photographique Rag paper. With this piece, Shahin delves deeper into the psychological terrain of love, vulnerability, and memory by introducing bold symbolic motifs and a dramatic palette shift. The most striking element is the red and black optical wave background, which radiates tension and intensity. It contrasts sharply with the calm, solemn gaze of Fairuz, whose face is rendered in Shahin’s now-iconic engraved style. But this version introduces an arresting twist: a keyhole-shaped cutout in her face reveals a second, stylized inner portrait. That smaller image—a blue-hued, teary-eyed rendition of Fairuz’s likeness—invokes a fractured duality, as if the viewer is peering into her hidden emotional depths. Symbolism, Inner Worlds, and the Emotional Keyhole The use of the keyhole as a framing device is particularly powerful. It evokes the sense of unlocking private emotion, memory, or heartbreak—allowing viewers access to an internal world usually concealed from the public eye. The interior portrait rendered in bold blue and crimson tones acts as the psychological counterpoint to the stoic exterior. This duality captures the volatility and complexity of romantic love, a recurring theme throughout Shahin’s HABIBI series. Shahin’s hand embellishments, particularly the application of diamond dust, add another dimension to the work. The sparkle of the dust against the matte and flat inks creates visual tension—glamour clashing with grief, radiance interwoven with ruin. Each piece in the edition carries its own nuances due to these handcrafted touches, ensuring that every collector receives a one-of-a-kind artifact that echoes the layered nature of its subject matter. Pop Culture, Street Art, and Arab Emotional Realism As with other works by Marwan Shahin, Habibi: Dammed is deeply rooted in the visual language of street pop art and graffiti artwork, but with unmistakable Middle Eastern sensibility. Fairuz—long considered the voice of the Arab soul—is an apt muse for such a project. Shahin transforms her from a musical icon into a symbolic vessel for the universal experience of longing, heartbreak, and emotional revelation. Rather than idealize, Dammed humanizes. It pushes against the polished veneers of celebrity and national identity to reveal the turbulent inner tides that define the human experience. It is love not as perfection, but as a landscape of contradictions—intimate, messy, radiant, and raw. This piece is more than a portrait; it is an invitation to witness the private wars waged inside public figures, and a powerful testament to Shahin’s mastery at balancing emotion, iconography, and craft in the tradition of globally conscious pop art.
