This “Open Minds” print references the language used by the powerful fuel industry lobby to soften political and public resistance to fracking. Fracking is a form of gas extraction which beyond the carbon impact of the gas itself, contaminates groundwater, pollutes the air, and creates strains on water resources because of the high volume of water required for the fracking process. Open-mindedness about any of those detrimental impacts of fracking and other fossil fuel extraction is absurd if one cares about the environment, air and water quality, and global warming. Powerful corporations and their lobbyists spend exorbitant sums to distract from and discredit the science-based conversation about the environment. I’m all for open minds and open eyes when it comes to putting science and the welfare of the planet before corporate profits. A portion of the proceeds from this print will benefit Greenpeace to support its work to enhance environmental protections and combat climate change. – Shepard

Describing his art-making process as a kind of “blissful, familiar trance,” Boyd’s works carry both the evidence of the beautiful chaos and the power of revealing the narratives inside of it.

Captain Cool Blotter Paper Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper by Stanley Mouse pop culture LSD artwork.
2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 135 Artwork Size 7.5x7.5
"Captain Cool Blotter Paper" is a limited edition work by the renowned artist Stanley Mouse, whose contributions to pop culture and psychedelic art are well-documented. This piece, signed and numbered as part of a limited run of 135, was released in 2021 and is a prime example of archival pigment print art on perforated blotter paper, a medium with deep roots in the countercultural movements of the 1960s and 70s. The artwork, measuring 7.5x7.5 inches, portrays a hauntingly beautiful skull adorned with vibrant red roses, invoking themes of mortality and beauty reminiscent of the Mexican Day of the Dead iconography. The skull, a motif often explored in Mouse's work, is not just a symbol of death but also of life's vibrancy, contrasting the ephemeral existence with the timeless allure of art. Mouse, recognized for his role in shaping the visual language of the psychedelic movement through concert posters and album covers, brings his distinctive style to the realm of street pop art and graffiti. "Captain Cool" continues this legacy, blending classic iconography with modern techniques to produce a piece that resonates with historical significance and contemporary appeal. This artwork is not merely a decorative piece; it is steeped in the tradition of blotter art, which has often served as both a canvas for artistic expression and a medium for psychedelic compounds. The collectible nature of such prints, combined with the cultural weight they carry, makes them a significant addition to the world of street pop art and graffiti, symbolizing the crossover between underground artistry and mainstream recognition. Stanley Mouse's "Captain Cool Blotter Paper" is a testament to the enduring influence of psychedelic art in contemporary culture and its ability to comment on deeper themes through street pop art and graffiti. His work captures the essence of a genre that continues to challenge, inspire, and provoke thought through its bold visuals and subversive undertones.

Signed & Numbered Screen Print OBEY NOIR FLOWER WOMAN (RED) 18 inches by 24 inches Edition of 400 January 27, 2022
The Obey Noir Flower Woman print is inspired by Art Deco design and Dark Wave album art. The image has a few avenues for interpretation. I primarily see it as a tribute to idealists who protect the environment, cultivate justice, and hold optimism close to their hearts. We all face challenges and hostilities, but exterior forces don’t control our inner strength and idealism. We do! Idealism leads to action. Those who perpetrate injustice rely on apathy to get away with their misdeeds. Nurture your inner idealism, and your constructive actions will follow. – Shepard

"The Radiant Lotus is part of a recent series of my works exploring round compositions. This print is inspired by the symbolism and beauty of the Lotus flower emanating positive energy, rendered with a graphic and geometric style. The Lotus is something beautiful that grows out of the mud. I see the Lotus as a metaphor for what is especially needed in this moment, an effort to lift ourselves out of the mud of political feuding and environmental irresponsibility in pursuit of harmony with each other and the planet." –Shepard Fairey

Rise Above Rose Geometric 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist.
2022 Signed & Numbered 12 inches by 24 inches Edition of 550 July 21, 2022
"The Rise Above Rose Geometric print contains several recurrent symbols in my work. The rose represents the archetype of an individual or a society who has endured oppression but perseveres to rise above conflict. Rise above also references the song “Rise Above” by Black Flag, one of my favorite punk bands. In creating art that encourages people to rise above adversity, I hope that it also motivates people to fight against injustice even when the fight is difficult." –Shepard Fairey
Led Zeppelin IV 40 Misty Mountain Hop 4-Color Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Pop Artist Nate Duval Limited Edition Artwork.
2014 Signed Limited Edition of 25 Artwork Size 18x24 Silver Metallic Ink
“I have always been drawn to the lyrics “So I’m packing my bags for the Misty Mountains where the spirits go now, over the hills where the spirits fly. “ They not only paint a picture of what was going on in the park that famed day in the song, but touch on the oft-mentioned middle-earth interests the guys seem to have had throughout their illustrious career. I wanted to let my mind run wild and send myself off to the misty mountains where I was greeted by this very flying spirit. I modeled our flying friend after the serpents and Dragons Jimmy has been known to adorn on-stage.” Nate Duval
Flowers and plants have been central motifs in art for centuries, and their interpretation in Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork is no exception. As subjects, they carry a wealth of symbolism and have been used to communicate a broad spectrum of ideas, from the transient nature of beauty to the endurance of growth. In the context of pop art, these natural elements were often rendered in a style that was antithetical to their organic origins, playing into the movement's fascination with commercialization and the banality of mass-produced goods. Artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein brought flowers and plants into the pop art conversation, turning them into repetitive, almost mechanical prints, challenging traditional aesthetics and the art world's elitism.
Floral Imagery in Pop Art
Pop art was known for embracing ordinary objects and its commentary on consumerism. Flowers in this genre were stripped of their individuality and reproduced en masse, much like the commodities they were meant to represent. This treatment of floral subjects underscored the pop art movement's preoccupation with the ideas of standardization and commodification.
Graffiti Art and Botanical Forms
In contrast to the controlled and commercialized depictions in pop art, graffiti artists use flowers and plants to bring a sense of the spontaneous and the organic into urban environments. These artists often choose floral subjects to oppose their harsh concrete canvases directly. The growth of a flower through a crack in the sidewalk is a powerful metaphor for the resilience of nature and is a frequent theme in street art, symbolizing hope and the reclaiming of space by natural beauty.
Street Art's Natural Aesthetic
Street artists have adopted and adapted the flower symbol as a personal tag or signature. The diversity of styles and interpretations among artists is vast, with some using photorealistic depictions of plants to criticize environmental issues. In contrast, others employ a more abstract or stylized approach to convey different messages or emotions. The public nature of street art means these works are not confined to galleries or private collections but are instead part of the everyday landscape, accessible to all.
Symbiosis of Urban and Natural
Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork often create a symbiosis between the urban environment and the natural world. Flowers and plants depicted in these genres can transform dull or overlooked spaces into areas of interest and beauty. They also serve as a reminder of the natural world amid urban sprawl, offering a moment of reflection for the viewer.
Evolution of Botanical Motifs
The evolution of botanical motifs in street art and pop art reflects broader changes in societal attitudes toward the environment and urban living. As cities become more aware of the importance of green spaces, using plant imagery in street art becomes a visual representation of this shift in consciousness. It is a way for artists to participate in and sometimes lead the conversation on ecological and urban renewal.
Impact on Public Perception
The impact of these natural motifs on public perception and urban aesthetics cannot be overstated. Flowers and plants in street and pop art act not only as decoration but as integral parts of urban communities, shaping the identities of neighborhoods and influencing how residents and visitors interact with their environment.
Artistic Techniques and Media
The techniques and media used to depict these natural forms vary widely, from spray paint to stencils and from paste-ups to large-scale murals. Each method brings a different quality to the plant imagery and can alter its perception. Whether through a stencil's bold, solid colors or the intricate lines of freehand spray paint, the depiction of flowers and plants in street art is as diverse as the artists themselves.
Cultural and Social Significance
Culturally, incorporating flowers and plants into street and pop art has significant social implications. It can be a tool for community engagement, brightening up neglected areas, or making powerful statements about social and environmental issues. This art form is uniquely positioned to engage with the public on a grassroots level, often sparking discussions and inspiring community-driven initiatives.
Preservation and Documentation
While street art is inherently ephemeral, there has been a movement towards preserving and documenting these works. Photographs and books cataloging street art have become increasingly popular, ensuring that the temporary blooms on city walls are recorded and remembered.
Flowers & Plants in Graffiti Pop Art
In sum, flowers and plants as subjects in Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork bridge the urban landscape and the natural world. They offer a visual respite from the concrete jungle and a reminder of the persistent force of nature. These motifs continue to evolve, capturing the imagination of artists and audiences alike and solidifying their place in the annals of contemporary art history.
