    Diamond FAILEdoodle- Red/Black 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen, Acrylic, Spraypaint, Silkscreen Ink and Glitter Print on Archival Lenox Paper by Faile Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Diamond FAILEdoodle: Red/Black 19 x 25 Inches Each variant an edition of 25 Acrylic, Spraypaint, Silkscreen Ink and Glitter on Archival Lenox 100 Signed, Stamped and Embossed A new breed of Faile Dog was born last year. First found on the streets of New York this pup found its way into the studio and really came to life. We've been pushing our shimmering print process lately and this felt like the perfect print to introduce this into our practice. Four different editions, two in red glitter and two in black glitter. All stained, sprayed, painted and printed; it's all the hallmarks of a studio print now with a lot more shine. Using the words of the artists themselves, the artwork “gives a person the sense that it is there just for them. That they've stumbled across this great little gem amidst the chaos of daily life that can really speak to them. We try to build in a certain ambiguity that leaves the door open for the viewer to find themselves within the story.” This relational character of the FAILE’s art corresponds and becomes amplified by their consistent travel and lack of a permanent studio until the mid-2000s. This resulted in the duo’s embracement and utilization of urban streets and, naturally, gave the produced work a “site-specific” character since public art inevitably adjusts itself to the location of the display.

All stained, sprayed, painted and printed; it's all the hallmarks of a studio print now with a lot more shine. During the first years of its existence, the group did not work inside a studio of its own and, as a result, 1999-2005 has been a period of experimentation for them with different media of creation, as well as ways of exhibiting their work. FAILE has embraced both “traditional” media, such as painting, sculpture, and printmaking, and, at the same time, less conventional ones, for example, window pallets and even prayer wheels.

  • Patricia Silver Hand Cut HPM Giclee Print by Kevin Stanton

    Kevin Stanton Patricia Silver Hand Cut HPM Giclee Print by Kevin Stanton

    Patricia Silver Hand Cut HPM Spray Paint Giclee Print by Kevin Stanton Artwork Limited Edition Print on Layered Glitter Fine Art Paper Hand Embellished Print Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2013 Signed & Numbered Spray Paint Glitter Paper Hand Cut Embellished Limited Edition of 4 Artwork Size 11.75x15.75 HPM Giclee Print. Silver Paper Collage of a Woman Anjelica Huston Stylized from the Movie The Darjeeling Limited. Kevin Stanton's "Patricia Silver": A Tribute in Hand-Cut Precision The artwork "Patricia Silver" by Kevin Stanton is a limited edition print that showcases the artist's deft hand at combining traditional cut-paper artistry with modern techniques like spray painting, creating pieces firmly rooted in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. The 2013 piece, signed and numbered, is a rare collection with only four editions, each sized at 11.75x15.75 inches and meticulously crafted on layered glitter fine art paper. This hand-embellished HPM (hand-painted multiple) Giclee print presents a silver paper collage of a woman, offering a stylized depiction inspired by Anjelica Huston's character from Wes Anderson's film "The Darjeeling Limited." Artistic Fusion: Street Aesthetics and Cinematic Influence Stanton's work in "Patricia Silver" captures the essence of character and narrative through the interplay of light, shadow, and texture. The piece resonates with the ethos of street art, where everyday visuals are transformed into striking, memorable icons. The likeness to Anjelica Huston is symbolic and evocative of the character's depth, mirroring how street art often encapsulates complex stories within simple yet powerful imagery. The choice of silver paper invokes a sense of the ethereal, contrasting with the bold solidity of spray paint—two mediums that evoke the duality often found in street art between the fleeting and the permanent. Stanton's meticulous hand-cutting technique further adds a layer of complexity, demonstrating the same care and attention to detail that street artists apply to their large-scale murals. Celebrating Character: An Intersection of Art Forms The confluence of street art sensibilities and cinematic inspiration in "Patricia Silver" represents a broader trend in contemporary art where cross-medium influences are increasingly prevalent. Stanton's translation of a film character into a hand-cut artwork speaks to the permeability of artistic disciplines. It celebrates character and personality, much like graffiti artwork, often as an homage or a socio-political statement within the public space. In this artwork, the character of Patricia from "The Darjeeling Limited" is not just commemorated but reimagined through Stanton's unique artistic lens. The depiction is a testament to the artist's ability to distill the essence of a subject into a visual form that is both accessible and profound, similar to how iconic figures are rendered in pop culture murals and street art installations. Kevin Stanton: A Contemporary Visionary of Cut-Paper Art Kevin Stanton stands as a visionary in the modern art world, where traditional techniques are revived through a contemporary lens. "Patricia Silver" is a testament to his innovative approach to art-making, where the old and the new are seamlessly woven into a singular, cohesive narrative. His limited edition prints are not just artworks; they are stories told through paper and paint, meant to engage and resonate with an audience as powerfully as any street-side masterpiece. "Patricia Silver" remains an integral part of Stanton's artistic journey, exemplifying his dedication to craft and ability to communicate visually. In the same way that street art has evolved to become a respected and critical part of the art dialogue, Stanton's work continues to challenge and redefine what is possible within the traditional scope of cut-paper artistry, bridging it with the vibrant spirit of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork.

Glitter Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Glitter as a Medium in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork

Glitter, though often dismissed as a craft supply fit for only the most frivolous projects, has found a surprisingly potent voice in street pop art and graffiti artwork. Its use transcends mere decoration; glitter becomes a tool for artists to attract attention, subvert expectations, and imbue their work with playfulness and irony. Within the urban canvas, where the grittiness of concrete walls and the somber tones of the cityscape dominate, the introduction of glitter can disrupt the visual monotony, offering a stark contrast that demands the viewer's gaze. The application of glitter in street art and graffiti is multifaceted. Some artists sprinkle it atop wet paint to add texture and sparkle, while others use it to outline figures or letters, giving their pieces a three-dimensional quality that can change with the shifting sunlight. The material's reflective properties can make a static image move or pulse—attributes that amplify the artwork's message, whether of joy, critique, or rebellion. Adding glitter can elevate a piece in an art form where visibility and memorability are currency, ensuring it stands out in an ever-growing sea of urban expression.

Historical and Cultural Significance of Glitter in Art

The history of glitter in art is as long as it is varied, with its origins tracing back to ancient cultures that used mica flakes to give paintings a shimmering appearance. In modern times, glitter has been embraced by various art movements, most notably pop art, which sought to break down the barriers between 'high' and 'low' culture. Pop artists incorporated glitter into their work to reflect the burgeoning consumer culture of the mid-20th century, a comment on the glamor and superficiality of the era. In the contemporary sphere, glitter has been reappropriated by street artists who see its potential to convey messages about materialism, fantasy, and escapism. It is particularly resonant in street pop art and graffiti artwork, where it can serve as a visual metaphor for the glitz and superficiality of popular culture. Yet, it can also be used earnestly to celebrate life and vitality in the face of urban decay. Glitter's ability to carry such dichotomous, critical, and celebratory meanings makes it a versatile and powerful medium for street artists.

Contemporary Use of Glitter in Street Art

Today's street artists employ glitter innovatively, incorporating it into stencil art, murals, and guerrilla art installations. It can often be found at the heart of interactive pieces, where the audience's participation is required to complete the work. Passersby may be encouraged to touch a glittered surface, leaving with a bit of sparkle on their fingers—a physical and symbolic act of taking a piece of the artwork with them. Environmental concerns have also prompted artists to seek biodegradable glitter, aligning their use of the material with a consciousness about its impact on the planet. This shift reflects a broader movement within the street art community towards sustainable practices as artists grapple with their role in reflecting and protecting the urban environments that serve as their canvases.

Impact and Perception of Glitter in Public Spaces

Glitter can transform public spaces, imbuing them with wonder and delight. Its use in street pop art and graffiti artwork often challenges the perception that urban art must be sad or politically charged to be taken seriously. Glitter proves that brightness and whimsy can be as potent in conveying messages and engaging the public. The reception of glitter-adorned street art varies widely, from admiration and intrigue to criticism and debate. Its inherent association with craft and decoration can undermine a piece's perceived 'seriousness.' Yet, this same quality allows the glitter to subvert traditional expectations of what street art can be. Its polarizing nature symbolizes the evolving conversations around street art and its place within the wider art world. Glitter, in its myriad colors and forms, continues to sparkle within the urban art scene, captivating and challenging viewers equally. Its presence in street pop art and graffiti artwork is a testament to the innovative spirit of street artists, who can take even the most unexpected materials and transform them into vehicles for expression, reflection, and change. Through glitter, these artists remind us that art can be as brief and fleeting as a moment of sunlight catching on a sparkly surface yet leaving an impression that lingers far beyond that transient glint.
