    David Molesky UltraS PP Archival Print by David Molesky

    UltraS PP Printer Proof Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by David Molesky, a Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. PP Printers Proof 2016 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x20 "This painting is the masterpiece from my series of paintings based on media images of the revolution in Kyiv. It's the largest of the eight paintings and the one I spent the most time on. The figure captures the energy that originally drew me into the subject matter. The paintings of this series are a departure from my earlier figurative paintings. For the last decade, I have tried to depict universal time and avoided artificial objects. I've dropped that dogma. I love that the subject is current and contains elements that seem from another era. For example, the old school puffy down jacket and the overall color looks a bit like old film tone." - David Molesky. The Convergence of Revolution and Art in David Molesky's "UltraS" David Molesky's "UltraS PP Printer Proof" stands out as a pivotal creation that captures the essence of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork while being deeply rooted in the historical context of the revolution in Kyiv. As an archival pigment print on 310gsm fine art paper, this piece holds significant value in its material quality and profound thematic content. The limited edition print, marked and signed by Molesky himself, measures 24x20 inches, providing a substantial canvas for the artist's vision. Molesky's journey through the artistic depiction of universal time and space takes a dramatic turn with "UltraS." The painting eschews his previous avoidance of temporal and artificial elements, plunging instead into the immediacy of current events with a raw and gripping portrayal of the human spirit in times of conflict. The "UltraS" series, specifically this print, departs from Molesky's earlier figurative painting, venturing into a more dynamic and narratively rich territory. The artwork is an amalgamation of past and present, a visual dialogue between the history it draws from and the contemporary medium of its expression. The print itself, a Printer's Proof, bears the unique distinction of being a precursor to the final limited edition run, carrying with it the artist's nuances and direct hand. The markings and the signature on each PP print confirm its authenticity and exclusivity, making it a coveted item for collectors and admirers of modern pop art. In "UltraS," Molesky achieves a striking balance between the static and the kinetic. The image of the solitary figure, poised against a backdrop of fiery chaos, encapsulates a moment of intense action and profound stillness. This figure, adorned in an "old school puffy down jacket," is an anachronistic anchor, throwing the viewer into a liminal space where time converges. The overall coloration of the print, reminiscent of old film tones, further imbues the scene with a sense of history and gravitas. David Molesky's Artistic Evolution Through "UltraS" The "UltraS" piece is not just an artwork but a historical document and a visual commentary, encapsulating the enthusiasm and the ethos of the streets. By adopting elements from graffiti art, Molesky infuses the piece with authenticity and an edge typically reserved for the most impactful street art. The scrawled "UltraS" on the side of the burning vehicle is a nod to the graffiti tradition, a signature that declares both presence and resistance. This Printer's Proof edition of "UltraS" is a testament to Molesky's artistic maturation. It showcases his willingness to engage with the present, to document it, and to reflect on it through his art. The series demonstrates a clear narrative progression in his work, embracing the current moment with all its complexities and contradictions. The impact of "UltraS" lies in its capacity to transcend the temporal boundaries that often define street art. Molesky's print is a snapshot of a single event and a broader exploration of the human condition amidst societal turmoil. It is a piece that resonates with the urgency of now while simultaneously capturing the echoes of the past. For the art world, "UltraS" represents a significant contribution to the discourse of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. It is a work that demands contemplation, speaks to the soul of the viewer, and invites us to ponder the role of art in reflecting and shaping our perception of historical events. David Molesky's "UltraS" is not just a piece to be viewed; it is an experience to be absorbed, a dialogue to be entered, and a reflection of our world.

When I was a 14-year-old skateboarder, a friend played me “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,” and that moment marked a turning point for me. The Sex Pistols provided the adrenaline-inducing soundtrack for my rebellion. If the Sex Pistols provided the soundtrack, the artist behind their imagery, Jamie Reid, provided the visuals for the revolution. Jamie Reid did the iconic art for the Sex Pistols like the “God Save the Queen” sleeve, the “Pretty Vacant” sleeve, and the cover for the album “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols.” Jamie deserves the majority of credit for the daring aesthetics of Punk Rock. If you’ve ever seen a photocopied, ransom note style, cut & paste punk graphic, then you’ve seen Jamie Reid’s influence. Jamie has been one of my biggest creative inspirations both visually and philosophically, because his work is bold, provocative, irreverent, and political. Jamie Reid also turned me on to Situationism, a movement dedicated to disrupting the conformist trance through pranks and spectacles. I’m honored that I have been able to work with Jamie on some collaborative images and to present a special collection through Obey Clothing in his honor, as well as two limited edition screen-prints. Jamie and I have mutual interest in shaking things up and addressing the problems of corruption, environmental destruction, and wealth inequality, so it is very energizing and meaningful to do a project with him. Enjoy and embrace the chaos!" -Shepard Fairey

  • UltraS Archival Print by David Molesky

    David Molesky UltraS Archival Print by David Molesky

    UltraS Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by David Molesky, a Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 24x20 "This painting is the masterpiece from my series of paintings based on media images of the revolution in Kiev. It's the largest of the eight paintings so far and the one that I spent the most time on. I feel like the figure captures the energy that originally drew me into the subject matter. The paintings of this series are a departure from my earlier figurative painting. For the last decade or so I had tried to depict universal time and avoided man-made objects. I've dropped that dogma. I love that the subject is current, and also contains elements that seem from another era. For example, the old school puffy down jacket and the overall color looks a bit like old film tone." - David Molesky David Molesky's "UltraS" in the Landscape of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork David Molesky's "UltraS" emerges as a significant piece within the modern landscape of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, presenting a stirring visual narrative that blends contemporary unrest with a sense of timeless struggle. As a limited edition series, Molesky offers only fifty archival pigment prints on 310gsm fine art paper, each piece signed and numbered, underscoring this work's exclusivity and collectible nature. Sized at an impactful 24x20 inches, "UltraS" is a cornerstone of Molesky's artistic evolution. The artwork transcends the conventional boundaries of street art by integrating the raw vigor of graffiti with the sophisticated depth of fine art. Molesky’s technique is marked by meticulous attention to detail and a rich palette that echoes the hues of historical film tones, infusing the piece with a unique vintage quality despite its contemporary subject. The scene depicted is one of chaotic beauty, set against a backdrop of revolution—a reference to the events that transpired in Kyiv. Through his art, Molesky captures the turbulence of these times, channeling the dynamic energy and emotion that define moments of societal upheaval. In "UltraS," the focal point is the figure clad in an old-school puffy down jacket, a style choice that intentionally bridges eras, connecting the present to the past. This figure is set against the fiery blaze that engulfs what appears to be a derelict vehicle, with the thick smoke and flames rendered with such realism that they seem to leap off the paper. The contrast between the stoic determination of the figure and the destructive environment around him serves as a potent metaphor for resilience in the face of chaos. Molesky’s shift from his prior figurative work to a narrative that embraces artificial objects and contemporary events marks a significant pivot in his artistic journey. By discarding his previous avoidance of temporal elements, he forges a new path that allows him to comment on current events through his art. The "UltraS" series, particularly this piece, reflects this transformation, as Molesky immerses himself in street art's raw, unfiltered essence while maintaining a delicate art sensibility. The significance of "UltraS" within street pop art and graffiti Art lies in its aesthetic, historical relevance, and ability to capture a snapshot of revolutionary spirit. It is a visual exploration of the human condition, a poignant reminder of art's power to document, express, and move. For collectors and enthusiasts, owning a piece of the "UltraS" series is not just an acquisition of visual art but an embrace of a story, a moment in time, and a piece of the artist’s soul. Embracing Modernity and Nostalgia in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork With "UltraS," Molesky delves into a realm where modernity and nostalgia intersect, presenting a visual discourse that is as thought-provoking as it is aesthetically pleasing. The inclusion of graffiti-like elements—such as the word "UltraS" scrawled on the side of the burning vehicle—grounds the work in the street art tradition, a form known for its subversive edge and connection to the voices of the disenchanted and the rebellious. Yet, the chaos is elegant, a curated composition that elevates the piece from mere street art to a form of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork that holds its own in galleries and sophisticated art collections. Molesky's commitment to authenticity and ability to distill complex narratives into a single frame sets "UltraS" apart. In the pop art tradition, it comments on culture and society, but it does so with the grit and earnestness of graffiti, capturing the zeitgeist in a raw and refined way. The limited edition nature of these prints further adds to their value, not just in monetary terms but also in the cultural weight they carry as artifacts of a pivotal era in art. Through "UltraS," David Molesky invites us to reflect on the intersections of art, society, and history. His work is a testament to the enduring power of visual storytelling and the evolving landscape of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, where every stroke, color, and form is imbued with meaning and resonates with the viewer long after the first glance.

Fire Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

The Influence of Fire in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

As an element, fire has been a powerful symbol in various forms of artistic expression due to its inherent energy and transformative nature. In street pop art and graffiti artwork, fire is employed as a physical medium and a thematic representation, reflecting passion, destruction, change, and rebirth. This exploration of fire in street and graffiti art reveals the depth of this element as a motif and its versatility in communicating the urgent, often raw messages characteristic of these art forms.

Symbolism and Themes of Fire in Graffiti Artwork

Graffiti art, known for its vibrant, illicit charm, often utilizes the symbol of fire to portray intense emotions and societal issues. Artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, an American artist who passed away in 1988, usually incorporated symbols like crowns and flames to emphasize the struggles and injustices faced by marginalized communities. Fire in these contexts can represent anger, a burning desire for change, or the destruction of the old to make way for the new. The dynamic nature of fire complements the often transient, ephemeral quality of graffiti art, which can be quickly created and removed or painted over. This impermanence ties in with the theme of fire as a fleeting yet impactful force in the urban landscape. In more literal uses, some artists have been known to utilize fire as part of their creative process, employing techniques such as controlled burns or fireworks to create patterns and textures that are impossible to achieve with traditional tools. This physical use of fire challenges the norms of artistic creation and embodies the rebellious spirit of graffiti, pushing against legal and creative boundaries.

Fire in Street Pop Art

Street Pop Art, blending pop art sensibilities with street art's accessibility and public-facing nature, also sees the element of fire as a central theme in various capacities. Artists like Keith Haring, an American artist who died in 1990, used fire to draw attention to political and social concerns. For Haring, the fire could symbolize destruction caused by nuclear war or social unrest, invoking both fear and a call to action among viewers. Fire imagery's vivid, immediate impact suits the bold colors and simple, impactful lines typical of Street Pop Art. This style often aims to communicate quickly and effectively with a broad audience, much like an advertisement. In this way, fire serves as a strong visual focal point and enhances the message's urgency. Whether it's a commentary on political upheaval, environmental disasters, or internal turmoil, fire is a universal signifier of danger and a catalyst for change.

Contemporary Uses and Interpretations

In contemporary Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, the fire motif continues to evolve, reflecting current global issues and personal narratives. Modern technologies and new media have also expanded how fire can be represented and conceptualized. Digital graffiti, projections, and installations now allow artists to include images of fire in their works that interact with the natural environment in dynamic ways, such as changing in response to viewer movements or altering according to real-time data (like temperature or noise levels). These modern interpretations of fire maintain the element's traditional associations with passion and transformation while pushing its symbolic potential in new directions. Artists continue to explore fire's dual capacity to destroy and renew, reflecting both personal and collective experiences of crisis and recovery. This dynamic is particularly resonant in today's world, where issues such as climate change, political unrest, and social transformation dominate public discourse. Fire in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork offers a rich terrain for artistic exploration and expression. Its symbolic versatility and visual impact make it an enduringly attractive element for artists in these vibrant and often challenging genres. As these art forms continue to evolve, the symbol of fire remains a potent tool for artists to engage, provoke, and inspire their audiences.
