Walk on the Wild Side Mixed Media Silkscreen Print by Faile Acrylic Spray Paint on Hand-Pulled Deckled Thick Lennox Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18.11x25 Silkscreen Print, Acrylic Paint & Spray Paint Mixed Media. Faile Barking Dog Pasters on Brick Wall as Calssy Woman with Dog Walks By in New York City. Exploring the Urban Narrative: "Walk on the Wild Side" by Faile Faile's "Walk on the Wild Side" mixed media silkscreen print is a compelling testament to the dynamic interplay between street pop art and graffiti artwork. This limited edition piece, with only a hundred prints in existence, encapsulates the vibrancy of urban life through its meticulously crafted layers of acrylic and spray paint on hand-pulled deckled thick Lenox fine art paper. Measuring 18.11x25 inches, this artwork is not merely a visual statement but a narrative woven into New York City's aesthetic dialogue. Faile, a collaborative duo known for their impactful art that often adorns urban environments, has brought the street's essence onto a tangible canvas. Their use of the iconic barking dog — a motif recurrent in their work — set against a brick wall background speaks volumes of the city's untamed energy. The contrast between the grit of the street and the polished appearance of the passing woman with her dog creates a juxtaposition at the heart of street pop art. This imagery captures the essence of New York's diverse character, where the refined and the rough-hewn exist side by side. The silkscreen print technique employed by Faile for this artwork is a nod to traditional pop art methods, yet the inclusion of acrylic and spray paint introduces a tactile depth often found in graffiti. The choice of materials — the thick Lenox fine art paper with its raw, deckled edges — further emphasizes the blend of the refined with the urban edge. Each element of the print, from the medium to the imagery, is a deliberate choice that underscores the narrative of coexistence and contrast. Symbolism and Style in Faile's Street-Inspired Artistry The symbolism in "Walk on the Wild Side" is multilayered, with the barking dog pasters as a signature of Faile's street heritage. These posters, often seen on the city's brick walls, represent the voice of the streets — loud, unapologetic, and fiercely territorial. By transplanting this symbol onto fine art paper, Faile bridges the gap between street art's transient nature and the permanence sought by fine art collectors. The woman, depicted in a classic, almost vintage style, and her domesticated dog starkly contrast the wild, untamed expression of the barking dog pasters. It's a visual play on the duality of man's nature and the societal norms that govern our public personas versus our inner instincts. Faile's style in this print is unmistakably rooted in street pop art. The bold lines, stark contrasts, and the layering of different media all indicate an aesthetic that has evolved from the streets. Their work often reflects the visual noise of the city — the advertisements, the political posters, the graffiti — all competing for attention. "Walk on the Wild Side" is a curated slice of this chaos, presented with a clarity that allows each element to be appreciated for its merit and contribution to the whole. The Cultural Resonance of Faile's Mixed Media Print "Walk on the Wild Side" is not just an artwork; it's a cultural artifact that resonates with the heartbeat of New York City. Faile has captured a moment in time, a scene that plays out daily on the sidewalks of the metropolis, and elevated it to a piece of art that commands contemplation. The silkscreen print serves as a reminder of the city's relentless pace, the ever-present clash of cultures, and the beauty that arises from unexpected combinations. This work is a celebration of the city's identity, a snapshot of the mundane transformed into the extraordinary through the lens of street pop art and graffiti. The limited edition nature of the print adds an element of exclusivity, creating a tangible connection between the owner and the city's street art scene. Signed and numbered by the artists, each print is an original piece of Faile's artistic legacy. Collectors of "Walk on the Wild Side" are not just acquiring a piece of art; they are preserving a fragment of the city's cultural narrative that continues to influence the trajectory of street pop art and graffiti artwork globally. In the end, "Walk on the Wild Side" by Faile is more than a mixed media silkscreen print; it is an emblem of the street's voice, a dialogue between the wild and the cultivated, and a testament to the enduring allure of urban art. It encapsulates the essence of a city that is both a canvas and a muse, continually inspiring artists like Faile to create works as provocative as they are visually arresting.

FAILE has embraced both “traditional” media, such as painting, sculpture, and printmaking, and, at the same time, less conventional ones, for example, window pallets and even prayer wheels.

That they've stumbled across this great little gem amidst the chaos of daily life that can really speak to them. We try to build in a certain ambiguity that leaves the door open for the viewer to find themselves within the story.” This relational character of the FAILE’s art corresponds and becomes amplified by their consistent travel and lack of a permanent studio until the mid-2000s. This resulted in the duo’s embracement and utilization of urban streets and, naturally, gave the produced work a “site-specific” character since public art inevitably adjusts itself to the location of the display.
