  • Moon Over Biloxi- White Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Moon Over Biloxi- White Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Moon Over Biloxi- White 1-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. White Variant Signed & Numbered Moon Over Biloxi Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 200 July 27, 2010. "The title of this print “Moon Over Biloxi” is a tribute to the Dead Kennedy’s song “Moon Over Marin”. In 1984 I picked up maybe my 4th punk record which was the 2nd Dead Kennedy’s album “Plastic Surgery Disasters”. The album is a great listen all the way through and includes some blistering tunes like “Riot” and “Bleed For Me” laced with social commentary. The surprise song though is “Moon Over Marin”… detractors have called it the Dead Kennedy’s “U2” song, but I disagree. “Moon Over Marin” is more melodic than most DK, but juxtaposed with the darkness of the lyrics, the song evokes a powerful sense of existential melancholy. I think the concept that struck me, and stuck with me, is that our disrespect of each other and the planet may doom us, but things will continue without us. I think it is healthy to recognize impermanence, but also to appreciate the value of the ephemeral. Moonlight, real or electric, will probably be around, but what it will be casting light on is the real question. There will always be a moon over Biloxi." -Shepard

PP Printers Proof Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x18 Shell Archival Print by Cey Adams "The whole idea behind my Trusted Brands series was that I wanted to revisit many of the iconic logos of my youth to reconnect to familiar things. These pieces are mostly made of handmade fiber papers from India and Nepal. I wanted to do something rivaling my friends who used spray paint and connected with my graffiti roots, but I didn't want to do what everybody else did. I thought it would be interesting to challenge myself to use a medium I have never used before, and collage spoke to me." - Cey Adams.

His work is a nod to nostalgia and a dialogue between past and present, consumerism and craftsmanship. The "Shell" piece stands out as a testament to Adams' ability to innovate within his graffiti roots while pushing the boundaries of his artistic expression.

Gas Fuel & Oil Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Gas, Fuel, and Oil in Street Pop Art

Graffiti art and street art have always been powerful mediums of expression, often reflecting the societal issues and concerns of the artists who create them. Gas, fuel, and oil have become increasingly relevant subjects within this sphere, given the ongoing environmental and political issues surrounding the world's dependency on fossil fuels. This growing interest has spurred a proliferation of graffiti art prints and street art prints that center on gas, fuel, and oil as primary themes. From a visual perspective, artists utilize a variety of symbols and imagery to represent gas, fuel, and oil. Iconic motifs such as gasoline pumps, fuel tanks, barrels, and pipelines are often portrayed in these works, either as standalone subjects or woven into a larger narrative. Gas, fuel, and oil have long been subjects of critical commentary in street pop art and graffiti artwork. These themes often surface in the works of artists who aim to highlight issues such as environmental impact, corporate dominance, and consumer culture. Street art, with its roots in subversion and public messaging, becomes a canvas for this discourse, transforming gas stations, oil barrels, and brand logos into symbols of reflection within the urban landscape.

Artists' Reflection on Energy Consumption

Artists like Banksy and Shepard Fairey have tackled the subject by integrating imagery of gas masks, fuel pumps, and oil spills into their work, merging the aesthetic of pop art with the grit of the street. These pieces serve as a visual critique of the dependence on fossil fuels and the often overlooked consequences of their pervasive use. By placing these works in public spaces, the artists invite an immediate and communal engagement with these critical issues. The subject of gas, fuel, and oil remains relevant in contemporary street art, reflecting ongoing concerns about climate change and sustainable living. Street artists continue to engage with this theme to provoke public thought and encourage a dialogue about the future of energy consumption and its global implications. The power of street pop art lies in its ability to repurpose commercial symbols like the Shell logo into a commentary on the intersection of industry, environment, and society. Color palettes for these pieces tend to be dominated by earth tones and shades of black, reflecting the raw, natural essence of fossil fuels, while also evoking the smog, pollution, and environmental degradation associated with their extraction and consumption. The connection between graffiti art, street art, and gas, fuel, and oil is both contextual and historical. In many ways, these mediums have served as outlets for socio-political commentary, drawing attention to the unequal distribution of resources, the influence of corporate power, and the devastating environmental consequences of fossil fuel dependency. This commentary is often sharp and provocative, highlighting the urgency of these issues and challenging the status quo. One notable example of this intersection is the work of British street artist Banksy, who frequently employs themes of consumerism, capitalism, and environmental destruction in his art. In one piece, Banksy depicts a grim, industrial landscape with smokestacks spewing pollution and pipelines snaking through the ground, while children play innocently nearby, oblivious to the environmental catastrophe unfolding around them. This striking juxtaposition highlights the contrast between our seemingly carefree daily lives and the serious consequences of our fossil fuel-based society. Another influential artist in this realm is Shepard Fairey, known for his iconic "Obey Giant" imagery. Fairey's work often critiques the power structures behind the global oil industry, showcasing the insatiable hunger for profit that drives these corporations. His pieces frequently incorporate images of oil barrels and fuel pumps, overlaid with bold, commanding text that challenges the viewer to question their own complicity in this cycle of consumption and environmental harm. As the environmental and political concerns surrounding gas, fuel, and oil continue to gain prominence, graffiti art and street art prints will undoubtedly continue to explore these themes in new and innovative ways. For some, these pieces will serve as a reminder of the pressing need for change, while for others, they may be a call to action, inspiring grassroots activism or personal efforts to reduce dependency on fossil fuels. The marriage of gas, fuel, and oil themes with graffiti art and street art prints has proven to be a powerful and evocative combination. These works offer a striking visual commentary on the pressing issues of our time, drawing attention to the environmental and socio-political implications of our global fossil fuel dependency. By utilizing powerful imagery and thought-provoking narratives, these artists have carved out an important niche within the broader art world, engaging audiences with challenging and meaningful works that inspire reflection and, in some cases, action.
