  • Hollow Breath Original Acrylic Charcoal Painting by Craww Hollow Breath Original Acrylic Charcoal Painting by Craww

    Craww Hollow Breath Original Acrylic Charcoal Painting by Craww

    Hollow Breath Original One of a Kind Charcoal & Acrylic Painting Artwork on Cradled Wood by Popular Street Graffiti Artist Craww. 2013 Signed Original Acrylic Painting Artwork Size 23.5x31.5 on Wood Cradled Panel Ready to Hang Fine Art. Exploring the Depths of Craww's Hollow Breath "Hollow Breath," a captivating original artwork by the acclaimed street graffiti artist Craww, is a poignant example of how the raw energy of street pop art & graffiti artwork can be channeled into more traditional fine art mediums. This one-of-a-kind piece, created in 2013, is a symphony of charcoal and acrylic on a cradled wood panel, showcasing the artist's adeptness with both materials. The 23.5x31.5 inches artwork provides a generous space for Craww's dark, dreamlike vision to unfold. Signed by the artist, "Hollow Breath" captures the essence of Craww's signature style, which often features ethereal female figures enmeshed with elements of nature. The painting explores recurrent themes in his work: the duality of beauty and melancholy and the intricate dance between life and death. The charcoal lends a softness to the painting, allowing for subtle gradations and depth, while the acrylics bring a vibrancy that pierces through the monochromatic veil. Technique and Symbolism in Craww's Hollow Breath In "Hollow Breath," Craww's use of charcoal and acrylic paints is not merely a choice of preference but a deliberate decision to convey complex emotional states. The charcoal, with its smoky and diffuse quality, creates a sense of impermanence and fragility, echoing the transient nature of life. Meanwhile, the acrylics, known for their boldness and clarity, highlight the painting's focal points, such as the lilies and roses, symbols of purity and passion. The cradled wood panel serves as an ideal substrate for this piece, its solidity starkly contrasting the delicacy of the imagery. This juxtaposition reflects the contrasts found throughout Craww's work, where strength and vulnerability often coexist. The wood's texture adds an organic feel to the piece, grounding it in the natural world that frequently influences Craww's art. Craww's Unique Position in Contemporary Art Craww is uniquely positioned in contemporary art, bridging the gap between the often separate worlds of street art and fine art. "Hollow Breath" is a testament to his ability to navigate these realms, bringing street art's immediacy and authenticity into a format traditionally associated with galleries and museums. The originality of this painting and its readiness to hang make it not just a work of art but a statement piece ready to grace the walls of an art connoisseur. The sad beauty of "Hollow Breath" resonates with those familiar with Craww's work in public spaces. Yet, it also stands alone as a powerful piece of fine art, inviting interpretation and admiration from viewers who may or may not be acquainted with his street art. This versatility and broad appeal make Craww's work particularly compelling within the contemporary art scene. "Hollow Breath" encapsulates the haunting allure of Craww's artistic vision, merging the fluidity of charcoal with the intensity of acrylics on a canvas as enduring as wood. This original painting is a striking example of how street pop art & graffiti artwork can transcend their urban roots to create fine art that is both profound and accessible, carrying the power to move and mesmerize within the quiet walls of an interior space.

  • The Day When Time Stood Still Archival Print by Jana Brike

    Jana Brike The Day When Time Stood Still Archival Print by Jana Brike

    The Day When Time Stood Still Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 290gsm Moab Rag Fine Art Paper by Jana Brike Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "The painting title is a complete paradox, of course. It is connected to my perception of reality in meditative states. The actual theme is based both, on the girl-tribe relationship, and loosely on three graces story. It explores what is beauty to me. Beauty is a feeling. It is not to be merely pretty. It includes bravery, and wisdom, and strength, and imperfections that make one unique. Beauty is a feeling, and you need a feeling to perceive it. Beauty is a heart shining out, and you need your heart’s eye open to see it. This piece definitely was more ambitious than any of my previous work. More detailed. Also, before this one, I rarely if ever painted more than one figure. My characters were always lonely, trapped within their own self-sufficient universe. Starting from this one, relationships between the characters in my work have become more and more important for me." - Jana Brike

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Protect The Blue Planet- Large Format Serigraph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Protect The Blue Planet- Large Format Limited Edition Hand Pulled 2-Color Serigraph Print on 100% Cotton Coventry Rag Paper by Shepard Fairey Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2022 Signed & Numbered Hand Deckled 30 x 41 inches Serigraph on Coventry Rag, 100% cotton custom archival paper Hand-deckled edges Limited Edition of 75 Signed + Numbered Printed by Obey Giant "Protect The Blue Planet" stands as a testament to Shepard Fairey's dedication to using his art as a vehicle for environmental advocacy, fusing the worlds of pop art, street art, and graffiti art. This limited edition, hand-pulled 2-color serigraph, reveals the intricate relationship between humanity and our environment. Imprinted on 100% cotton Coventry Rag paper, the choice of material underpins Fairey’s commitment to sustainable artistry. The dimensionality of the piece, 30 x 41 inches, lends itself to an immersive viewing experience, accentuated further by its hand-deckled edges, which bring a tactile, organic touch, reminiscent of the raw edges of street posters. In partnering with the PangeaSeed Foundation to release this work for Earth Month, Fairey encapsulates the pressing environmental concerns of the modern era. Central to the piece is the depiction of an endangered North Atlantic right whale that exudes a mandala with the earth cradled within. This mandala, rooted in various cultural traditions, signifies harmony, unity, and the interconnectivity of the planet's ecosystems. The floral ornaments within it blossom as symbols of flourishing harmony, but the contrasting inclusion of flames starkly reminds viewers of the ever-looming threat of global warming. The text - "Protect the Blue Planet" and "One Ocean-One People" - along with the chosen blue palette, draws attention to the inextricable bond between thriving oceans and a sustainable world. As a renowned figure in the street art community, Fairey's work has always pushed boundaries, and with "Protect The Blue Planet", he once again blurs the lines between artistic expression, activism, and social responsibility, reminding the world of its role in safeguarding the planet. "To celebrate Earth Month, in collaboration with PangeaSeed Foundation, I’m pleased to release, “Protect The Blue Planet” which features an endangered North Atlantic right whale emanating a mandala with the earth as its focal point. In several cultures, the mandala represents harmony, unity, and wholeness, all of which are important concepts when considering the interconnected nature of the planet’s ecosystems, people, and species. The mandala features floral ornaments symbolizing harmony in bloom, but also flames as a reminder of the perils of global warming. The “Protect the Blue Planet” and “One Ocean-One People” text within the artwork and the blue color palette serve to emphasize the crucial connection between healthy oceans and a healthy planet." – Shepard

His piece, "Turtle Island Ganas Collage," is a vibrant celebration of cultural identity, resilience, and the spirit of resistance. This original one-of-a-kind sprayed paint stencil painting on cotton rag art paper encapsulates the ethos of Montejano's artistic vision—Hecho Con Ganas, or "made with effort and desire." Signed by the artist, this 20.5"x 26.5" artwork reflects Montejano's commitment to creating pieces that are not only visually captivating but also imbued with social and political commentary. Symbolism and Technique in Montejano's Work In "Turtle Island Ganas Collage," Montejano employs the turtle, a creature revered in many indigenous cultures for carrying the world on its back, as a central figure symbolizing the earth and the interconnectedness of life. The term "Turtle Island" is a name for the North American continent used by several Native American tribes, and its inclusion in the title ties the piece to themes of heritage and land. Montejano's choice of materials—100% cotton rag paper with hand-deckled edges—complements the organic subject matter, grounding the piece in tradition and craftsmanship. The hand-sprayed stencils create a sharp contrast characteristic of graffiti art, while the intricate details and layering echo the complexities of pop art imagery.

His artwork transcends the traditional boundaries of street art, offering a narrative that is both universal and deeply personal.

Flower Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
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.
