Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage Original One of a Kind Mixed Media & Oil Painting Artwork on Canvas by Modern Pop Dystopian Artist Adam Caldwell. 2022 Signed 11x14 Oil Mixed Media on Canvas Original Painting Ready to Hang Artwork. Adam Caldwell's "Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage": A Fusion of Historical Narratives and Contemporary Art Adam Caldwell's original painting, "Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage," is a poignant representation of his unique ability to intertwine historical narratives with the contemporary visual language of pop dystopian art. This 2022 signed Artwork, an 11x14 oil and mixed media on canvas, exemplifies Caldwell's profound engagement with the past and present, creating a visually striking and emotionally resonant dialogue. His approach to pop, street, and graffiti art transcends conventional boundaries, allowing for a multi-layered exploration of theme and form. The Artwork, ready to hang, presents a haunting image of Mme Roland, a figure from the French Revolution, enveloped in what appears to be a shroud, her gaze obscured yet evocative. Caldwell's use of mixed media enhances the textural depth of the piece, inviting viewers to ponder the interplay between the tangible brushstrokes on canvas and the historical weight of the subject matter. The fragmented and abstracted elements surrounding the central figure reflect the chaos and turmoil of Mme Roland's time. Yet, they resonate with the complexities of the modern era, suggesting parallels between the two. In Caldwell's work, the canvas becomes a site where the lines between street pop art and traditional oil painting blur, creating a space where the echoes of history meet the aesthetics of modern-day graffiti and pop art. The layering of media and imagery in "Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage" is characteristic of Caldwell's style, which often features a juxtaposition of classical and contemporary elements, hinting at the cyclical nature of societal struggles and the perennial quest for justice and freedom. The painting stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of historical figures and events in the discourse of modern art, particularly within the realms of pop and street art, which have traditionally served as platforms for social commentary and critique. Caldwell's work invites reflection on the lessons of history, the enduring spirit of revolutionary figures, and the role of art as a medium for examining and understanding the human condition. In essence, Adam Caldwell's "Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage" is more than just a painting; it is a narrative captured in oil and mixed media, a statement on the continuum of history, and a reflection of the power of art to encapsulate both the specific and the universal. Through works like this, Caldwell continues to push the boundaries of what pop art can convey, bridging the gap between the past and the present, the historical and the contemporary, the classical and the street.

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.

Mr André- Black Limited Edition Rare Spray Paint Can Artwork Crossover by famous graffiti paint maker Montana MTN. 2021 Mr André Glossy Black Color Limited Edition of 500 Spray Paint Can with Custom Wood Box Object Artwork Size 3x8 Montana MTN Filled with Paint. Mr André Glossy Black Spray Paint Can by Montana MTN – Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The Mr André Glossy Black Limited Edition Spray Paint Can, released in 2021 by Montana MTN, stands as an iconic artifact in the culture of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Produced in a highly collectible edition of just 500, this 3x8 inch can is filled with glossy black spray paint and presented in a custom wood box etched with the artist’s signature and the Montana Limited Edition insignia. The visual design of the can is unmistakably linked to André Saraiva’s infamous graffiti alter ego Mr A. The character’s simplified linework face, topped with exaggerated symbols like X and O, is a visual shorthand for decades of international street influence. As both a functional spray can and a standalone art object, this release occupies a hybrid territory that fuses utilitarian graffiti culture with high-concept collectible art. Mr André: Graffiti Artist and International Street Pop Icon André Saraiva, born in Uppsala, Sweden and raised in Paris, France, is a globally recognized street pop art figure whose graffiti roots stretch back to the early 1990s. He rose to prominence through his creation of Mr A, a character that would become emblematic of romantic rebellion and irreverent joy across global cityscapes. Seen on rooftops, alleyways, and walls from Paris to Tokyo to New York, Mr A’s wide grin and looped limbs established a visual brand that is as subversive as it is playful. Mr André has not limited himself to street walls. His visual language has transcended into collaborations with luxury fashion, hospitality, and design industries, without losing the grit and spontaneity of his graffiti foundations. Whether on canvas or subway walls, his work maintains its bold narrative identity, reinforcing the significance of visual storytelling in public spaces. Montana MTN’s Artist Series and Object Culture Montana Colors, based in Barcelona, has long been the gold standard in spray paint for graffiti artists worldwide. Their Artist Series elevates the humble spray can into a platform for artistic collaboration, giving space to pioneers like Mr André to reinterpret the object through their own visual lexicons. The 2021 Mr André Glossy Black edition reflects the artist’s clean line art and urban minimalism. The deep black backdrop and orange graphic elements lend the piece a totemic presence that speaks to both its street roots and gallery-level presentation. Montana’s use of high-quality materials, matched with limited edition packaging and artist-focused branding, transforms the can from tool to artifact. Street Pop Art Legacy Encapsulated in the Mr André MTN Can This limited edition piece is not only a celebration of Mr André’s global artistic reach but also a testament to the cultural significance of graffiti in the evolution of contemporary art. The fusion of street rawness with gallery-grade presentation encapsulates the progression of graffiti from subculture to respected creative movement. The Mr André Glossy Black spray can is a physical expression of this evolution—a collectible sculpture that symbolizes movement, rebellion, and stylistic clarity. For collectors and followers of street pop art and graffiti artwork, it represents both a tangible and symbolic connection to one of the most recognizable artists in the genre.

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.

Madame de Bionville- Embellished Limited Edition Archival Pigment Fine Art HPM Prints on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper by Graffiti Street Art and Pop Culture Artist Michele Melcher. 2021 Signed & Numbered HPM Hand-Embellished Edition of 5 Artwork Size 11x17 ChatGPT said: Michele Melcher Madame de Bionville Embellished Fine Art Print 2021 The 2021 Madame de Bionville print by Michele Melcher is a hand-embellished archival pigment work produced in a signed and numbered edition of only five. Measuring 11 x 17 inches and printed on 290gsm Moab fine art paper, this limited HPM (hand-painted multiple) edition reflects Melcher’s striking blend of historical portraiture, pop culture reference, and macabre imagery. Each piece was uniquely embellished by the artist, ensuring that no two are exactly alike, further enhancing the rarity and collectible quality of the edition. Imagery and Visual Language Madame de Bionville presents a skeletal figure adorned in aristocratic attire, her exposed ribcage and skull juxtaposed with ornate costume details and a feathered hat. The vivid blue silk fabric and delicate lace collar evoke the elegance of 18th-century portraiture, yet the skeletal visage transforms the image into a meditation on mortality and vanity. This interplay between refined luxury and stark decay recalls the tradition of vanitas painting, updated with Melcher’s contemporary graphic edge. The hand embellishments in each print add depth, texture, and individuality, reinforcing the tension between mechanical reproduction and the artist’s direct intervention. Artistic Themes and Influence Michele Melcher’s work often explores themes of mortality, memory, and cultural symbolism by reimagining historical figures and iconography. In Madame de Bionville, she engages with ideas of impermanence and the inevitable collapse of wealth, power, and beauty into death’s universality. The work’s theatricality and elegance are offset by its grim skeletal presence, creating a paradox that resonates with both fine art traditions and the bold directness of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The juxtaposition encourages viewers to question societal obsession with status and appearance, drawing parallels between historical aristocracy and contemporary consumer culture. Michele Melcher’s Place in Contemporary Street Pop Art Michele Melcher is recognized for her ability to merge classical painting techniques with modern commentary, blurring the line between gallery art and street-inspired aesthetics. Her works stand out for their narrative depth and their balance of historical homage with present-day critique. Madame de Bionville, with its small, hand-embellished edition and meticulous execution, reflects her dedication to craftsmanship while maintaining the rebellious spirit associated with urban and pop-influenced art. This piece exemplifies how Melcher’s practice reclaims and recontextualizes the past, offering audiences a fresh lens through which to consider both history and contemporary culture.

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.

Funny Farm Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Artist Above- Tavar Zawacki, Street Pop Art Graffiti Legend. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Archival Pigment Print on 310gsm Fine Art Paper Artwork Size: 16x16 Inches Release: January 23, 2016. "I painted this arrow with rollers, latex paint, and spray paint onto an old barn. The barn was 30 feet wide x 30 feet tall at the pinnacle. The Funny Farm piece started with the help of my friend Denial, who invited me to participate in the Free 4 All Walls project in Canada last month. Denial had organized a massive barn for me to paint for the project. This was the largest arrow I've ever painted and the most coffee I drank over four days. Tim Horton's coffee should be illegal." - Above Embracing Rural Canvas: ABOVE's 'Funny Farm' Archival Pigment Fine Art Print Tavar Zawacki, the street pop art graffiti legend known as ABOVE, extended his artistic expression to rural landscapes with the 'Funny Farm' creation, culminating in a limited edition print that captures the essence of his most significant arrow piece. This limited edition archival pigment print on 310gsm fine art paper embodies ABOVE's innovative approach to street pop art, showcasing his distinct style on an unconventional canvas—an old barn. Released on January 23, 2016, the artist meticulously signed and numbered each edition piece, reflecting the authenticity and exclusivity that collectors and admirers of street art deeply value. The 'Funny Farm' artwork began as a monumental undertaking, with ABOVE utilizing rollers, latex paint, and spray paint to transform a 30x30 foot barn façade into an arresting visual statement. His choice of a rustic structure as the substrate for his iconic arrow illustrates his versatility as an artist and brings to light the dialog between urban street art and rural settings. This piece, part of the Free 4 All Walls project in Canada, is a testament to ABOVE's desire to push the boundaries of graffiti art beyond the city walls, engaging with a broader audience and environment. Technique and Inspiration Behind ABOVE's 'Funny Farm' The production of 'Funny Farm' was a labor-intensive process, demanding significant physical exertion and creative energy from ABOVE. Over four days, fortified by copious amounts of coffee, he poured his expertise into crafting an artwork as expansive in scale as it was in impact. His commentary on the addictive nature of Tim Horton's coffee injects a personal and humorous anecdote into the piece's narrative, connecting with his audience more intimately. This anecdote highlights the often-overlooked aspects of an artist's process—the external influences and the environment that can shape the creation of an artwork. ABOVE's meticulous technique and vibrant use of color in 'Funny Farm' reflect the hallmarks of his style, which is recognized worldwide. The barn, with its expansive sides, provided a grand canvas for ABOVE to articulate his vision, allowing the arrow to dominate the landscape, pointing skyward. The piece captured the attention of those who encountered it in person and managed to resonate through the limited edition prints that followed. The print serves as a visual narrative of ABOVE's journey, encapsulating the energy and spirit of the original mural. Cultural Significance of 'Funny Farm' in the Artistic Landscape The cultural significance of 'Funny Farm' within the artistic landscape is multifaceted. ABOVE's decision to create a print version of this rural mural allows for a wider dissemination of his work, bridging the gap between street art's fleeting nature and fine art's permanence. The limited-edition nature of the prints ensures that the essence of 'Funny Farm' is preserved and celebrated within the confines of private collections, galleries, and beyond. Furthermore, the artwork exemplifies ABOVE's commitment to street pop art and graffiti as accessible art that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries. By choosing a barn in a rural setting, ABOVE challenges the often-urban-centric focus of street art, proposing a universal language of creativity that can dialogue with any environment. 'Funny Farm' as a print is a continuation of that conversation, inviting a global audience to partake in the original mural's experience and reflect on the ubiquity of art in all facets of life. 'Funny Farm' is a vibrant representation of ABOVE's artistic prowess and innovative approach to street pop art and graffiti artwork. The print immortalizes a moment in ABOVE's career where his art scaled new heights, literally and metaphorically, and reminds us of the transformative power of art in any setting.

C215- Atmosphere Blue Limited Edition Rare Spray Paint Can Artwork Crossover by famous graffiti paint maker Montana MTN. 2013 Signed Stamped Limited Edition of 500 Spray Paint Can Artwork C215 – Atmosphere Blue Spray Paint Can Limited Edition by Montana MTN in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The Atmosphere Blue spray paint can by French street artist C215, released in 2013 in collaboration with Montana Colors (MTN), stands as a rare artifact in the crossover between graffiti tools and fine art objects. Produced in a signed and stamped limited edition of 500, this piece is more than a collectible—it is a sculptural convergence of artist, medium, and message. The can is housed in a custom wooden display box etched with the MTN logo, elevating it from utilitarian container to curated artifact. The artwork featured on the can is a hyper-detailed stencil portrait, executed in C215’s distinctive photorealistic style, showcasing his mastery of facial expression and urban texture. This edition forms part of MTN’s collector series that honors the legacy of artists working directly within the street art movement by immortalizing their work on the very object most associated with their craft. C215 and the Precision of Emotion in Urban Environments C215, real name Christian Guémy, is a renowned French stencil artist whose work brings empathy and psychological depth to the public sphere. His portraits—often of overlooked individuals, elders, or anonymous faces—are rendered with sensitivity and astonishing technical skill. On the Atmosphere Blue can, the face depicted is intense and worn, etched with layers of detail that mirror the complexities of city life and personal experience. By placing this face directly onto a graffiti spray can, C215 not only honors the medium of street expression but also gives it a soul. His choice to focus on faces humanizes the object, transforming it from a symbol of rebellion or vandalism into a vessel of identity and memory. Within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this gesture aligns with the ongoing effort to dignify urban narrative through design and curation. Montana MTN and the Evolution of Artist-Branded Tools Montana Colors, based in Barcelona, is one of the most respected names in graffiti paint production. Their decision to collaborate with C215 for the Atmosphere Blue edition speaks to a larger movement in which graffiti culture and institutional recognition are no longer in opposition. MTN has used limited edition runs like this one to celebrate the artistry not only of the paint’s application but of its packaging. The can itself becomes a canvas, and the act of tagging or spraying is elevated to collectible fine art. The precision and richness of the printing on the aluminum body, combined with the texture of the custom box, reflect how deeply integrated these once-underground forms have become in contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. This edition blurs boundaries between the commercial tool and the finished piece. Spray Can as Portrait, Artifact, and Symbol of Street Legacy What makes Atmosphere Blue a significant object in the history of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork is its layered function. It is a tribute to process, to tool, and to the individual artist’s contribution to the visual culture of cities. The can may never be used to paint, yet it contains the story of what it represents: visibility, expression, and resistance. C215’s ability to bring life into even the smallest object is evident here. His stencil work, typically found on doors, alley walls, and decaying surfaces, finds new permanence on this sealed vessel. It holds energy, potential, and identity. The Atmosphere Blue edition is not just rare because of its production number—it is rare because it marks a moment where the history of graffiti becomes visible, tangible, and preserved, not in galleries, but in the hand-held language of the street.

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.

Love Catcher Blue Silkscreen Print by Mr Brainwash- Thierry Guetta Hand-Pulled 6-Color on Hand Deckled Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 22x22 Silkscreen Print by Mr Brainwash- Thierry Guetta Mr. Brainwash, whose real name is Thierry Guetta, is a French-born, Los Angeles-based street artist and filmmaker. He was born on November 11, 1966, in Garges-lès-Gonesse, France. Mr. Brainwash came to prominence through the 2010 Oscar-nominated documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop", which was directed by the renowned British street artist Banksy. Initially, Guetta began as a videographer who was interested in street art and decided to document the phenomenon. This endeavor led him to meet and film numerous street artists, including Shepard Fairey and Banksy. However, in a surprising twist, Banksy turned the camera on Guetta, encouraging him to become an artist himself. The result was Mr. Brainwash, a pop artist known for his large-scale productions and eclectic style, drawing heavily from pop culture references and the work of other street artists. His work often blends elements of pop art with the raw, edgy aesthetics of street art. Since his emergence, Mr. Brainwash has held numerous exhibitions and his work has gained significant attention in the art world, both for its bold, distinctive style and for the controversy surrounding his sudden rise to fame. He is known for his energetic and often humorous installations, sculptures, and stenciled artworks. Despite criticism from some quarters who view his work as derivative, Mr. Brainwash has continued to maintain a successful career in the contemporary art scene. Mother's Day is a celebration that honors mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in the months of March or May. The modern American holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. Anna Jarvis's mother, Ann Jarvis, had been a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War, and created Mother's Day Work Clubs to address public health issues. Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her mother by continuing the work she started and to set aside a day to honor all mothers because she believed that they were "the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world". In 1914, Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating Mother's Day, held on the second Sunday in May, as a national holiday to honor mothers. Since then, Mother's Day has become a day that children celebrate their mothers with cards, gifts, and activities. The holiday has been adopted by other countries and it's celebrated in different ways worldwide. For example, in the United Kingdom, it is traditionally known as Mothering Sunday and it's celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. In Mexico, it's always celebrated on May 10th, regardless of the day of the week. It's important to note that Mother's Day can bring different feelings for different people. While it's a joyous occasion for many, it can be a difficult day for those who have lost their mothers or who have strained relationships with them. It's also a day to honor and remember mothers who have passed away.

Psychedelic Spiral- 01 Original Hand-Painted Multiple Spray Paint, Ink Mixed Media on Laser Cut Wood Panel ready to hang by Tavar Zawacki (Above) Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "The Psychedelic series were made in conjunction with my recent solo exhibition Remix. All of the Psychedelic series was designed with an emphasis on a sharp visual contrast. It's similar to 'Op-art' (Optical Art) which makes your eyes trip out. It's an effect that alters your perception as if you were on Psychedelic drugs. Some of the Psychedelic designs I made were featured in Remix, and some of them I created specifically for this series. This particular 'Sunset Strip' design I made with more complexity for my solo exhibition Remix. The Remix exhibition was about interchanging and swapping different cut patterns of the same design, in different colors to achieve the final piece. The Psychedelic series achieves a similar effect but in a more basic style of blocking out colors and allowing the negative space to reveal itself." - Above

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.

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

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.
