Shepard Fairey- OBEY The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP Silkscreen by Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat
The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat & Marked AP, Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP Silkscreen Print 2008 The 2008 The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP Artist Proof silkscreen print is a rare collaboration between Shepard Fairey, internationally recognized as OBEY, and stencil pioneer Blek le Rat. Hand-pulled on fine art paper and measuring 18 x 24 inches, this limited edition Artist Proof was signed by both artists and marked “AP,” distinguishing it from the standard numbered edition of 100. As an Artist Proof, it holds particular value among collectors of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, symbolizing both artistic experimentation and the direct approval of the creators. Imagery and Urban Context The composition combines stark stencil work with a heavily graffitied wall, embedding the artwork within the raw energy of urban life. At the center, a suited man carries bags labeled with text, positioned alongside a goat, while a police officer passes in the foreground. To the right, a telephone booth punctuates the scene, grounding the work in the everyday architecture of the city. The layering of graffiti tags, political scrawls, and the surreal juxtaposition of figures evoke themes of consumerism, authority, and rebellion. The suited figure in particular hints at urban alienation, while the presence of the goat and booth adds absurdity, making the composition at once humorous and sharply critical. Collaboration Between Shepard Fairey and Blek le Rat Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in 1951 in France, is widely credited as the father of stencil graffiti, bringing social commentary directly into the streets of Paris beginning in the 1980s. Shepard Fairey, born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, built his reputation through his OBEY sticker campaign and politically engaged prints, including the Hope poster of Barack Obama. Their collaborative works, such as The Man Who Walks Through Walls, highlight a shared belief in the role of public art as a platform for protest and dialogue. The merging of Fairey’s graphic sensibilities with Blek’s direct stencil approach emphasizes the continuity between two generations of politically minded street artists. Rarity and Significance of the Artist Proof The Artist Proof edition carries special weight within the print world, typically produced in very small quantities and often retained by the artists. Signed by both Shepard Fairey and Blek le Rat and marked AP, this print holds heightened collectible value and authenticity. Beyond rarity, its imagery and collaborative nature underscore the strength of street art as a vehicle for political and cultural critique. The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP silkscreen print is not just a fine art object but also a vivid statement on urban culture, consumerism, and resistance, making it a defining example within the history of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

Shepard Fairey- OBEY David with Machine Gun Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat
David with Machine Gun Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat, Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat David with Machine Gun Silkscreen Print 2008 The 2008 David with Machine Gun silkscreen print is a collaborative edition created by Shepard Fairey, known as OBEY, and French stencil art pioneer Blek le Rat. Hand-pulled on fine art paper and produced in a signed and numbered edition of 100, this 18 x 24 inch print merges the strengths of two iconic street artists across generations. Both signatures on each print elevate it to an important collector’s piece within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, highlighting not only a striking image but also the historical significance of the collaboration itself. Imagery and Commentary The print features a reinterpretation of Michelangelo’s classical sculpture David, here transformed into a provocative figure holding a machine gun. The juxtaposition of the Renaissance ideal of human beauty and form with the stark brutality of a modern weapon serves as a sharp critique of war, violence, and the distortion of cultural ideals. By placing David in a gritty, graffiti-covered urban environment, the work questions how art and society repurpose historic symbols to address contemporary anxieties. This powerful reimagining reflects both Blek le Rat’s tradition of stencil interventions in public spaces and Shepard Fairey’s skill at repurposing cultural icons into tools for social commentary. Collaborative Significance Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is celebrated as one of the earliest and most influential stencil graffiti artists. Shepard Fairey, born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1970, became internationally known for his OBEY campaign and his later political works, including the Barack Obama Hope poster. Together, they bridge the early roots of European stencil art with the graphic and politically driven evolution of American street pop art. Their joint works, such as David with Machine Gun, serve as cultural dialogues between two eras, reinforcing the continuity of street art as a platform for protest and public discourse. Political Resonance and Collector Value David with Machine Gun functions as a visual protest, reworking an image of purity, youth, and beauty into a statement about the corruption of ideals through militarization and violence. The collaboration underscores both artists’ shared commitment to making politically engaged art accessible to broad audiences. With its limited edition of only 100, dual signatures, and thematic strength, the print has become a significant and sought-after work for collectors. It captures the way Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can take familiar imagery and transform it into a searing critique of the modern world, cementing its role as both cultural artifact and fine art object.

Shepard Fairey- OBEY Florence Aubenas Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat
Florence Aubenas Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat, Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat Florence Aubenas Silkscreen Print 2008 The 2008 Florence Aubenas silkscreen print represents a rare collaboration between American street artist Shepard Fairey, known as OBEY, and French stencil pioneer Blek le Rat. Measuring 18 x 24 inches, this hand-pulled silkscreen was produced in a signed and numbered limited edition of only 100. Each print bears the signatures of both artists, cementing its importance as a cross-generational dialogue within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The subject, French journalist Florence Aubenas, was abducted and held hostage in Iraq in 2005, making the work a powerful symbol of resilience and the role of art in amplifying human rights issues. Imagery and Symbolism The print merges Shepard Fairey’s graphic, politically charged style with Blek le Rat’s classic stencil approach. Set against the backdrop of Place Saint-Michel in Paris, the work integrates photography and stencil to create a layered street-inspired composition. Aubenas is portrayed standing calmly, her figure rendered in stark black stencil against the stone wall, evoking Blek le Rat’s street interventions. This contrasts with the detailed urban surroundings captured in Fairey’s silkscreen process, creating a tension between the permanence of historical architecture and the urgency of contemporary political struggle. The placement of the figure beneath the street sign grounds the work firmly in Paris, while also symbolizing the global reach of her story. Collaboration Between Icons Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is regarded as one of the founders of stencil graffiti, influencing generations of street artists worldwide, including Banksy. Shepard Fairey, born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1970, rose to prominence through his OBEY campaign and politically charged works such as the Hope poster of Barack Obama. Their collaboration on Florence Aubenas brought together two distinct but complementary approaches: Blek’s commitment to the power of direct stencil imagery in public space and Fairey’s graphic design-driven activism. The result is a work that resonates both as a political statement and as a landmark in the history of street art. Political Resonance and Artistic Legacy This silkscreen print underscores how art can become a tool of awareness and advocacy. By immortalizing Florence Aubenas in their visual language, Fairey and Blek le Rat highlight the risks faced by journalists working in conflict zones and the importance of freedom of expression. With its limited edition size, dual signatures, and thematic depth, the Florence Aubenas print is considered a significant collector’s piece, not only for fans of Shepard Fairey and Blek le Rat but also for those who recognize the importance of socially engaged art. It remains a striking example of how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can transcend aesthetics to confront urgent political realities.

Chris Saunders Lion Mandala Silkscreen Print by Chris Saunders
Lion Mandala Limited Edition 2-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print with Spot UV Layer on 130lb French Black Licorice Paper by Chris Saunders Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 24x24 Custom Framed in Distressed Gold Frame. "This piece was born from the inspiration of a personal struggle I was experiencing with overcoming certain obstacles in my life surrounding addiction. Not just chemical addiction, but addictive thoughts and behaviors that didn't serve my highest good. The lion archetype visited me in my dreams during this time of struggle with addiction. I dreamt I was a lion running with full force through a dense jungle. I had a thick rope in my mouth and as I ran through this jungle people were fighting to grab the free sides of the rope to try and slow me down from running so fast. It was getting snagged and I felt extreme pain in my body. The pain grew to the point my body caught on fire, I could feel my flesh searing. I remember fighting through it and eventually, the pain went away and I kept running forward. Pretty Intense! So I combined my vision of the lion with the mandala to mirror a frequency of courage, strength, and power to its the viewer and the space that it is hung in." - Chris Saunders

Mateo Naga Biru Purple Archival Print by Mateo
Naga Biru Purple Archival Print by Mateo Limited Edition on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Pop Graffiti Street Artist Modern Artwork. 2025 Signed & Numbered Print Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 17x24 Archival Pigment Fine Art Naga Biru Purple Archival Print by Mateo Mateo, the French-born artist also known as Mathieu Bories, creates commanding Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork that engages cultural identity, symbolism, and historical textile patterning with arresting contemporary portraiture. The 2025 print titled Naga Biru Purple exemplifies Mateo's celebrated technique of blending hyperrealistic faces with ornamental Persian rug motifs to produce rich and complex visuals layered with meaning. This limited edition archival pigment print, signed and numbered by the artist, is printed on 290gsm Moab Entrada fine art paper and is sized at 17 x 24 inches. It is part of a rare edition of just 50. Cultural Tapestry and Portraiture Collide Naga Biru Purple centers a dignified female figure, her skin rendered in deep purples that evoke mystery, strength, and elegance. Mateo overlays her face and the entire composition with golden filigree patterns inspired by Indo-Persian textiles and sacred geometry. The symmetry of these patterns acts not only as decorative overlays but also as symbolic armor—protection through heritage, beauty, and belief. The subject’s eyes are intense and still, contrasting the intricate motion of motifs that ripple across her face and body, and ultimately blending her with the elaborate textile background. Mateo’s portraits do not simply place the subject against ornate backdrops—they absorb and exalt them within them. Technique and Symbolism in Street Pop Art Mateo’s approach pulls from both street graffiti traditions and fine art disciplines. His work lives at the intersection of muralism, urban intervention, and fine printmaking. With Naga Biru Purple, he showcases the same refined control and graphic precision that is often visible in his public murals across Europe, North Africa, and Asia. By using archival pigment on Moab Entrada, Mateo elevates the print into a museum-grade art object while retaining the rebellious voice of the streets. The richly colored purples and golds of the piece speak to royalty and spirituality in various traditions, invoking a dialogue about heritage, diaspora, and representation. A Modern Icon Through Global Patterns Naga Biru Purple is more than a portrait—it is a visual synthesis of power, ancestry, and pattern. Mateo channels his subjects into icons that transcend the individual, making them vessels of collective identity and resilience. His work is at once deeply contemporary and timeless, merging street sensibility with ornamental reverence. The result is a Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork piece that resonates globally, speaking to issues of femininity, cultural visibility, and the richness of ornamental language as a form of storytelling. With this edition limited to 50, Naga Biru Purple is a powerful collectible for collectors of modern narrative-driven urban art.

Dave Kinsey Assassination Blue Silkscreen Print by Dave Kinsey
Assassination Blue Silkscreen Print by Dave Kinsey Hand-Pulled 4-Color on Off White Archival Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2007 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print by Dave Kinsey based on Auguste Rodin's The Thinker "I created this piece in 2007, which is a commentary on the slow degradation of the education system in the United States—an assassination of the educational nourishment of the people and our society. This piece references Rodin’s “The Thinker” sculpture whose pose is based on deep thought and contemplation. Our schools, universities, and so forth are catalysts to greater change and progress and we as humans need to protect this at all costs." -Dave Kinsey, Two Thousand & Twenty-Three Dave Kinsey is a contemporary artist known for his mixed media work that often blends urban street art influences with fine art practices. His work often explores themes of the human condition, society, and the environment. Kinsey often utilizes silkscreen printing in his work, which is a process that involves pushing ink through a mesh screen to create an image. This technique allows for the production of multiple copies of a design, with each print being an original piece of art. Kinsey's artwork varies in subject matter, and he has created a wide array of prints, paintings, and installations. The Thinker is a bronze sculpture by the French artist Auguste Rodin, which was first cast in 1902. The sculpture depicts a nude male figure, hunched over with his chin resting on one hand and his other hand resting on his knee, deep in thought. Dave Kinseys version, The Thinker has a bullet hole in his head. The pose of the figure is meant to evoke the idea of a man contemplating the meaning of life, and it has become an iconic symbol of philosophy and intellectualism. Rodin originally created The Thinker as part of a larger commission for a set of bronze doors for a museum in Paris. The doors were to depict scenes from Dante's Divine Comedy, and The Thinker was originally conceived as a representation of Dante himself, contemplating the depths of hell. However, the sculpture became so popular that Rodin eventually decided to make it a standalone piece, and he created multiple versions of The Thinker in various sizes and materials. Today, The Thinker is one of the most recognizable sculptures in the world, and it has been widely reproduced and referenced in popular culture. It is also considered a masterpiece of the modern era, and it continues to inspire artists and thinkers around the world.

Mateo Roya HPM III Hand Embellished Archival Print by Mateo
Roya HPM Hand Embellished Archival Print by Mateo Limited Edition Hand Painted Multiple on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Pop Artist Modern Artwork. 2025 Signed & Numbered HPM Hand Embellished Print Limited Edition of 10 HPM Uniques Artwork Size 17x24 Archival Pigment Fine Art Roya HPM by Mateo: Sacred Identity Rendered Through Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Roya HPM is a 2025 hand-embellished archival pigment print by French artist Mateo, produced in a limited edition of only 10 hand-painted multiples. Each edition within this exclusive HPM series is individually enhanced, transforming the fine art print into a one-of-a-kind mixed media statement. Printed on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper, the artwork measures 17x24 inches and carries the physical presence of a richly layered and deeply symbolic Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Mateo’s combination of sacred geometry, cultural portraiture, and lavish visual language is fully realized in this exquisite piece. Symbolism, Ornamentation, and Personal Identity In Roya, the central portrait emerges from a tapestry of intricately detailed motifs, gold embellishments, and sacred ornamental patterns that frame and fill the subject’s face and body. The woman’s features are composed with sharp photorealistic clarity, yet Mateo overlays her identity with a reverent layering of design—a nod to heritage, divinity, and beauty. The use of golden motifs radiating from the subject’s cheeks echoes Islamic and Persian architectural elements, honoring spiritual aesthetics while grounding the figure in cultural specificity. The artwork suggests not just a face, but a monument to memory, ancestry, and pride. Mateo’s masterful stencil work and embellishment with hand-painted elements makes each HPM in the edition a singular interpretation of the larger concept. No two prints are the same, as the artist deliberately injects variations in pattern, gilded detail, and color saturation. The result is an artwork that feels both universally symbolic and personally devotional. Luxury Techniques with Urban Grit The tactile brilliance of Roya HPM stems from its hybrid creation process—archival pigment printing ensures sharp fidelity to Mateo’s original design, while the Moab Entrada paper provides a lush, heavyweight surface for further hand embellishment. Each embellishment is a conscious act of layering history and meaning, blending graffiti-adjacent aerosol energy with fine art methodologies. Mateo’s work straddles public and private space, from murals to gallery walls, and this piece captures the tension between those two domains. This HPM print reflects Mateo’s ability to turn the language of street art into sacred visual storytelling. Gold-painted filigree evokes spiritual icons while celebrating global cultural traditions often excluded from western fine art narratives. Roya becomes not only a portrait but a tribute—a face carrying generations of stories, both visible and veiled. Street Pop Art that Honors Culture and Memory Mateo’s Roya HPM is a rare convergence of craft, message, and material. It speaks to the essence of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork: the elevation of marginalized voices through visual spectacle and emotional resonance. The work feels regal and revolutionary, sacred and defiant. In Mateo’s hands, portraiture becomes a canvas for cultural restoration, not through nostalgia but through transformation. Roya is not merely seen—it is experienced, celebrated, and remembered.

Shepard Fairey- OBEY Florence Aubenas AP Silkscreen by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat
Florence Aubenas AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat & Marked AP, Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat Florence Aubenas AP Silkscreen Print 2008 The Florence Aubenas AP Artist Proof silkscreen print from 2008 is a powerful collaborative work by Shepard Fairey, known globally as OBEY, and French stencil art pioneer Blek le Rat. Measuring 18 x 24 inches, this hand-pulled silkscreen on fine art paper exists in an extremely rare Artist Proof edition, each marked “AP” and signed by both artists. Beyond its rarity, the subject matter and dual authorship make it one of the most politically and historically significant works within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Subject and Symbolism The work features a portrait of Florence Aubenas, the French journalist abducted in Iraq in 2005 and later released after months in captivity. She is depicted standing calmly against the wall of Place Saint-Michel in Paris, her figure stenciled in stark black and white, contrasting with the detailed urban setting. This juxtaposition symbolizes both her resilience and the precarious realities faced by journalists in war zones. By situating her image in a familiar Parisian context, the print speaks to both the local and international dimensions of her story, grounding a global political issue in a recognizable urban landscape. Collaboration Between Generations Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is widely acknowledged as one of the founders of stencil graffiti, with a career that began in the streets of Paris in the early 1980s. Shepard Fairey, born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, rose to prominence through his OBEY campaign and later works addressing political and social justice issues. Their joint creation of Florence Aubenas bridges the gap between the origins of stencil graffiti in Europe and the evolution of politically driven street art in the United States. The collaboration highlights a shared commitment to using art as a form of activism and public awareness. Artist Proof Rarity and Legacy Artist Proofs, typically reserved for artists and collaborators outside of the standard numbered edition, carry heightened value due to their scarcity and direct connection to the creators. With dual signatures and the AP designation, this edition of Florence Aubenas stands apart as a rare collector’s item. More than a collectible, however, the print underscores how street art can amplify pressing social issues, using public imagery and fine art techniques to spark dialogue. The Florence Aubenas AP silkscreen remains a landmark example of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork where artistic expression, political urgency, and historical moment converge.

Shepard Fairey- OBEY David with Machine Gun AP Silkscreen by Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat
David with Machine Gun AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat & Marked AP, Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat David with Machine Gun AP Silkscreen Print 2008 The David with Machine Gun AP Artist Proof silkscreen print from 2008 is a rare collaborative work created by Shepard Fairey, widely known as OBEY, and stencil art pioneer Blek le Rat. Hand-pulled on fine art paper and measuring 18 x 24 inches, this Artist Proof edition is signed by both artists and marked “AP,” distinguishing it from the standard numbered release of 100. Artist Proofs carry additional significance within the art world due to their limited availability and direct association with the artists’ approval process, making this piece especially sought after by collectors of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Imagery and Symbolic Tension This print features Michelangelo’s classical David, a symbol of Renaissance ideals of beauty, youth, and heroism, reimagined with a modern twist: he holds a machine gun. The stark juxtaposition between timeless humanist ideals and contemporary instruments of war creates a powerful critique of violence and the ways cultural icons are repurposed to reflect current anxieties. Set against a graffiti-covered urban backdrop, the figure embodies the collision between high art traditions and street-level social commentary. The work challenges viewers to consider how ideals of strength and beauty are corrupted when reframed within the context of militarization. Collaboration Across Generations Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is often credited as the father of stencil graffiti, influencing countless artists with his Paris-based interventions since the 1980s. Shepard Fairey, born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, rose to prominence through his OBEY campaign and politically resonant prints, later achieving international acclaim with his Hope poster of Barack Obama. Their joint creation of David with Machine Gun demonstrates how two generations of artists from different cultural backgrounds can merge their practices to create a unified message. It serves as both homage to classical art and a critique of the modern world. Rarity and Collectible Importance Artist Proof editions such as this one are rarer than the main run, typically reserved for the artists themselves or for key collaborators. Marked “AP” and carrying the signatures of both Fairey and Blek le Rat, this print embodies both historical and artistic value. Beyond its scarcity, the work is a striking representation of how street artists reinterpret cultural symbols to confront pressing issues like war and societal decay. The David with Machine Gun AP silkscreen stands as a prime example of the fusion of fine art history and modern protest through the visual language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.
