Graffiti Is A Crime 12x18- I Original Mixed Media Painting graffiti artist modern pop art on Real Metal Street Sign by Cope2. 2020 Signed Original Spray Paint Painting Bubble Letter on Real Metal Street Sign Artwork Size 12x18. Graffiti Is A Crime Sign. Graffiti as a Form of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Graffiti, often perceived as a rebellious or illegal act, has gradually evolved into a recognized form of art, gaining substantial attention in the realm of modern pop and street art. This transformation is vividly exemplified by the work of renowned graffiti artist Cope2. His piece titled "Graffiti Is A Crime 12x18-I Original Mixed Media Painting" is a striking representation of this evolution. Created in 2020, this artwork is not just a mere expression of street culture but a significant icon in the graffiti art world. It stands out as a signed original spray paint painting, featuring bubble letters on a real metal street sign. Measuring 12x18 inches, this piece encapsulates the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork, blending the raw energy of street art with the sophistication of modern pop art. The choice of a real metal street sign as the canvas for this artwork speaks volumes about the artist's intention to blur the lines between what is considered legal and illegal, art and vandalism. By transforming a symbol of authority and regulation, a street sign, into a piece of art, Cope2 challenges the conventional perceptions of graffiti. This act of repurposing a street sign, an object typically associated with law and order, into a canvas for graffiti, traditionally viewed as a form of rebellion, creates a powerful contrast and commentary on the societal views of art and expression. The Cultural Significance of Graffiti in Modern Art The artwork "Graffiti Is A Crime" is not just a physical piece of art; it's a statement about the cultural and societal impact of graffiti. Historically, graffiti has been associated with underground movements, often being a tool for the voiceless to express their opinions and emotions. However, as seen through the works of artists like Cope2, graffiti has transcended these boundaries, finding its way into the world of high art and becoming a celebrated form of creative expression. This metamorphosis of graffiti from vandalism to a respected art form is significant in understanding the dynamics of modern art. It reflects the evolving attitudes towards what constitutes art and who gets to define it. By incorporating elements of pop culture, graffiti artists have brought a new dimension to the art world, one that resonates with a broader audience and reflects contemporary societal themes. This shift has not only given graffiti artists like Cope2 a platform to showcase their talent but has also prompted a reevaluation of street art's role in the broader context of art history. Impact on the Perception of Street Art and Graffiti The significance of "Graffiti Is A Crime" and similar works in the context of street pop art and graffiti artwork lies in their ability to challenge and redefine the boundaries of traditional art. These pieces are not just expressions of individual creativity but are also powerful tools for social commentary. They represent a form of artistic democracy, where the street becomes a gallery, accessible to all, and not just the elite few. This democratization of art through graffiti challenges traditional art paradigms and encourages a more inclusive understanding of what art can be. Moreover, the increasing acceptance and celebration of graffiti art in galleries and art exhibitions signify a cultural shift. It represents a growing recognition of the artistic value and social commentary embedded in these works. The journey of graffiti from the streets to the galleries is a testament to the changing perceptions of what is considered legitimate art. It highlights the importance of context, medium, and message in the world of art, proving that creativity knows no bounds and that art can emerge from the most unexpected places. The artwork "Graffiti Is A Crime" by Cope2 is a pivotal piece in the narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It encapsulates the essence of graffiti's journey from the fringes to the forefront of modern art. This piece is not just a representation of artistic skill but a symbol of cultural evolution, challenging perceptions, and redefining the boundaries of art. As such, it holds a special place in the history of modern art, symbolizing the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of artistic expression.

Train 21 Original Acrylic on HO Scale Model Train Box-Car Sculpture Artwork by graffiti street artist modern pop artist Lush. 2014 Signed Original Graffiti Tag/Throw Up Painting on HO Model Train Car Artwork Size 14x3. Lush is a male model and sometimes an international graffiti asshole. Exploring "Train 21" by Lush: A Convergence of Model Hobbyism and Graffiti Art The street artist Lush's artwork "Train 21" represents a unique intersection of model train hobbyism and street art, infusing the meticulous world of HO-scale trains with graffiti's vibrant, spontaneous energy. Created in 2014, this piece stands out as an original acrylic work on a model train box-car, representing a form of street pop art rarely seen within the confines of a graffiti artist's usual urban environment. Lush, an artist whose candid self-description as an "international graffiti asshole" hints at his irreverent approach to both his craft and public perception, brings his flair for the unconventional to the rather conservative domain of model railroading with "Train 21." Lush's Graffiti Artistry on a Miniature Scale The art piece "Train 21" is a testament to Lush's ability to adapt the scale and finesse of his street art to the tiny proportions of a model train car. Measuring just 14x3 inches, this work encapsulates the essence of graffiti artwork—traditionally associated with large, expansive spaces—into the compact and controlled form of a model train, a famous collector's item. This fusion of a traditionally urban art form with a suburban pastime challenges preconceived notions of what mediums street art can occupy. Lush's signature style, characterized by bold tags and vivid, throw-up paintings, finds a new canvas on the sides of the model train car, bringing the rebellious spirit of street art into the precise and often pristine world of model train enthusiasts. Collectibility and Cultural Significance of "Train 21" As an original work signed by Lush, "Train 21" holds a place of significance within the street art community and among collectors of unique art pieces. The graffiti tag painted onto the HO model train car transforms the piece from a mere collectible into a statement, a narrative about the fusion of disparate worlds. Through such works, Lush has carved out a reputation for himself—not just as a street artist but as a modern pop artist who dares to redefine the boundaries of his genre. Signing the piece solidifies its status as a work of art, granting it a sense of authenticity and value in the eyes of art collectors and enthusiasts. "Train 21" is more than a model; it is a microcosm of Lush's artistic journey, encapsulating his bold approach to street pop art and graffiti artwork within the miniature confines of a model train car.

Fab 5 Freddy and Montana MTN: A Spray Can Revolution The collaboration between Fab 5 Freddy, born Fred Brathwaite, and Montana MTN in 2024 produced a unique artifact that fuses the energy of street art with the essence of collectible design. The "Fab 5 Colorado Red" spray paint can is not just a tool for creating graffiti but a standalone piece of art. With only 500 made, each can is a limited edition work that captures the spirit of Fab 5 Freddy's influence on graffiti and hip-hop culture. The custom wood box packaging elevates the can from a simple container of paint to an object of art, underscoring the importance of presentation in the world of art collectibles. Each can, sized at a modest 3x8 inches, is filled with the vibrant "Colorado Red" hue of paint, a nod to the bold and impactful color choices often made by graffiti artists. The design of the can features a vintage-style photo of an African American man, representing Fab 5 Freddy himself, stylized in a way that marries graffiti's wildstyle lettering with a classic portrait. This design encapsulates Fab 5 Freddy's legacy within the worlds of street pop art and graffiti artwork, bridging the divide between the street and the gallery. Legacy of Wildstyle: Fab 5 Freddy's Impact on Graffiti Art Fab 5 Freddy's contributions to the culture of graffiti are monumental. He was among the first to bring graffiti and hip-hop from the streets of New York to a global audience, transforming the perceptions of graffiti from acts of vandalism to recognized forms of art. His wildstyle graffiti, characterized by intricate, interlocking letters and symbols, was revolutionary, influencing countless artists and cementing his place in street art history. The "Fab 5 Colorado Red" spray paint can artwork continues this legacy, serving as a tribute to the style and influence of Fab 5 Freddy. The can’s artwork tells a story of the streets, of the evolution of graffiti as an art form, and of the man who helped propel it into the cultural mainstream. Each limited edition can is a celebration of the history and progression of street pop art, embodying the creative spirit that Fab 5 Freddy represented. The Art Object Phenomenon: From Utility to Icon The phenomenon of transforming utilitarian objects like spray paint cans into icons of art has become increasingly prevalent in the world of pop graffiti and street art. These objects, once solely seen as the tools of the trade for street artists, have become canvases in their own right, offering artists a new medium to express their vision. The "Fab 5 Colorado Red" spray paint can by Montana MTN is a prime example of this trend, where the object itself becomes a piece of art, coveted by collectors and enthusiasts alike. The collaboration between Fab 5 Freddy and Montana MTN is more than a business venture; it's a symbolic convergence of art and utility, of the street and the establishment. Each can, with its vibrant color and striking design, is a testament to the power of street art to innovate and inspire, to transcend its roots and become an integral part of the art world’s lexicon. These limited edition cans are not only vessels of paint but vessels of history, carrying the legacy of street pop art and graffiti artwork forward for new generations to discover and appreciate. In the art community, collaborations like the "Fab 5 Colorado Red" are reminders of the transformative power of art, of its ability to reshape objects and perceptions. They stand as monuments to the artists like Fab 5 Freddy who have paved the way for the recognition and celebration of street art, ensuring that the essence of the streets—the bold, unapologetic voice of the graffiti artist—continues to be a vital part of the conversation in the world of art.

Wasted Youth- Your Eyes Here Cac Malaga Edition 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey x D*Face Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed By F*Face & Shepard Fairey, Numbered Screen Print “WASTED YOUTH / YOUR EYES HERE” (CAC MALAGA EDITION) Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 400 July 16, 2015 D*Face and I enjoy collaborating and we both agreed that it would be great to do a print to celebrate our simultaneous shows at the CAC Málaga. We used very different color palettes in our murals there so we decided that since we both liked black, red, and silver – that we could put our chromatic differences aside and join forces on those three colors for the print. I’d still recommend seeing the murals in person if you have the opportunity, but this print is an avatar I can be proud of. All of the prints are signed by me and D*Face so you know that meant they had to travel to Spain and back – luckily, they’re all in good shape. Thanks to the CAC Málaga for facilitating such a great show for both of us! -Shepard

Graffiti Tagged Brachiosaurus Original Spray Paint & Acrylic on Plastic Dinosaur Sculpture Artwork by graffiti street artist modern pop artist RD-357. 2012 RD-357 Graffiti Spray Paint & Acrylic on Reclaimed/Upcycled (RD-357's Child's) Dinosaur Artwork Signed 9.5x3 The Innovative Fusion of Street Pop Art and Play: RD-357's Graffiti Tagged Brachiosaurus RD-357, a modern graffiti street artist, has been known for his innovative approach to street pop art and graffiti artwork, blurring the lines between traditional street art mediums and everyday objects. In 2012, RD-357 embarked on a project that would further cement his reputation as a pioneer in the field, taking on the challenge of transforming a plastic dinosaur sculpture into a piece of contemporary art. The result was the "Graffiti Tagged Brachiosaurus," a unique synthesis of playful nostalgia and the gritty aesthetic of street art, encapsulating the essence of RD-357's creative vision. This artwork is a striking example of how RD-357 repurposes and reimagines found objects, such as a reclaimed toy from his child's collection, and imbues them with new life through street art. Once a simple plastic figure, the Brachiosaurus stands redefined by the bold graffiti tags and vibrant splashes of spray paint and acrylic. At 9.5x3 inches, the sculpture is modest in size but grand in its artistic statement, signed by the artist himself, serving as a hallmark of authenticity and a personal touch from the artist's own life. RD-357's Artistic Process: Marrying Childhood Innocence with Street-Savvy Creating the "Graffiti Tagged Brachiosaurus" involved a meticulous application of spray paint and acrylic, techniques well-versed in the graffiti art scene. RD-357 has taken the familiar form of the Brachiosaurus and layered it with complex patterns and symbols that are intrinsic to the visual language of street pop art. The dinosaur's textured skin becomes a canvas for a dynamic interplay of colors and shapes, with each tag and stroke of paint adding to the narrative that RD-357 constructs. This narrative is one of juxtaposition - the innocence of a child's toy contrasted against graffiti's edgy and often transgressive nature. The Brachiosaurus, a creature from a bygone era, is recontextualized through RD-357's art as a contemporary cultural artifact. By taking an object associated with the past and childhood and merging it with the modern urban art form of graffiti, RD-357 makes a statement about the enduring nature of art, creativity, and expression. The graffiti tags are not just markings; they are the artist's language, speaking to themes of transformation, reinvention, and reclaiming spaces and objects for art. Legacy and Influence: RD-357's Contribution to Street Pop Art The "Graffiti Tagged Brachiosaurus" is not merely an artwork; it is a testament to RD-357's innovative spirit and ability to see the potential for art in the unlikeliest places. It symbolizes street pop art's versatility and boundless nature, where any surface can become a masterpiece, and any object can tell a story. RD-357's work challenges the viewer to see beyond the conventional and to appreciate the beauty and complexity that can arise when street art intersects with the objects of our everyday lives. RD-357's contribution to street pop art and graffiti artwork is significant, as he consistently pushes the envelope with each project he undertakes. The Brachiosaurus, once a simple figure meant for play, now carries the weight of artistic innovation and cultural commentary, thanks to the artist's vision and skill. RD-357's artworks, particularly this unique sculpture, resonate with a broad audience, from art collectors to street culture enthusiasts, and inspire new approaches to street pop art. Through the "Graffiti Tagged Brachiosaurus," RD-357 expands the dialogue around what constitutes a canvas and where art can exist. His bold transformation of a plastic toy into a piece of street pop art showcases his talent and invites us to reconsider our perceptions of play, art, and the spaces in between. The sculpture is a vibrant example of the potential for street art to transcend traditional boundaries and enter into new realms of creative expression.

His limited edition silkscreen print "Going to NY" from 2014 is a vivid example of this synthesis. It captures the iconic image of a New York City yellow cab, a symbol deeply ingrained in the city's cultural identity. It is decorated with the visually arresting techniques of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. Guetta's technique in "Going to NY" showcases his adeptness with the silkscreen process, utilizing a remarkable 16-color palette on fine art paper. The image of the cab is framed by the blurred lines of the city's frenetic movement, conveying a sense of speed and vitality that is the lifeblood of urban New York. The cab is not just a vehicle but a canvas, covered with vibrant graffiti that tells many untold stories about the city that never sleeps.

The custom antique brown bronze-colored frame, measuring 51x30 inches, contrasts the artwork's street art aesthetic, signifying its transition from the streets to the collector's private gallery. The Legacy of Mr. Brainwash's Urban Visions Guetta's work, particularly "Going to NY," has contributed significantly to the growing recognition and appreciation of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork within the fine art world. By introducing the visual language of the streets into the galleries, Guetta challenges traditional notions of what constitutes fine art. His work is a dialogue between the highbrow and the every day, celebrating the potential for beauty and meaning in the most unexpected places. "Going to NY" by Mr. Brainwash is more than a piece of art; it is a statement about urban life's vibrancy and its inherent artistry. As Street Pop Art continues to evolve, works like this serve as milestones along the path of artistic innovation. They remind us that art is not confined to the hallowed halls of museums but is all around us, in the streets we walk and the vehicles that pass us by. Guetta's "Going to NY" is a celebration of this dynamic, a testament to the beauty of the city's chaos, and a treasured piece for any art lover drawn to the pulse of the metropolis.

The upper body and face of Mickey Mouse are cloaked in black, offering an intense contrast against the vibrant backdrop and evoking a sense of mystery. The inspiration behind this distinctive portrayal stems from OG Slick's childhood memories of Chinatown. There, small figurines placed at store registers were believed to bestow good fortune upon the shop owner and those who offered money. This traditional practice is cleverly juxtaposed with a modern twist in the artwork, where Guan Yin is illustrated being showered with digital currency, hinting at the evolving dynamics of value, faith, and the digital age. Through "Ink Head Slick Yellow", OG Slick has once again demonstrated his unique ability to amalgamate cultural symbols, childhood memories, and urban influences, creating an art piece that resonates deeply with both traditional and contemporary sentiments.

Thank You!! Original Marker Tag Drawing by Dalek- James Marshall on Cardboard Modern Street Pop Artwork. 2023 Signed Original Permanent Marker Cardboard Thank You Drawing Size 12x6 The Gratitude of Graffiti: Dalek's "Thank You!!" Cardboard Tag The simple yet profound phrase "Thank You!!" takes on a new life in the hands of Dalek, the street name of artist James Marshall. This original marker tag drawing on cardboard is a piece that stands out in the realm of modern street pop artwork. Signed in 2023, the piece measures 12x6 inches. It is a genuine expression of gratitude, rendered in the permanent ink of a marker, a material synonymous with the unfiltered honesty of street art. James Marshall's "Thank You!!": A Study in Sincerity In an age where digital communication often reigns supreme, James Marshall's choice to return to the roots of personal touch with a hand-drawn tag on cardboard speaks volumes. The medium of cardboard, often discarded as waste, is reclaimed by Marshall as a legitimate and poignant surface for art. It is a nod to the eco-friendly and resourceful nature of street pop art and graffiti artwork, which often sees value and potential in overlooked places. His work resonates with the ethos of street art culture, which finds its voice in the every day, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary. Cardboard as Canvas: Street Pop Art's Ephemeral Charm Marshall's work on cardboard also captures the ephemeral charm, often the essence of street pop art. Unlike canvases destined for gallery walls, cardboard suggests a transient nature—today, it's art. Tomorrow, it could be part of a recycling pile. This piece, with its bold black strokes forming the words "Thank You!!" elevates the transient material to a lasting statement of gratitude, a universal and timeless sentiment. In a sense, Marshall's work immortalizes the fleeting moments of appreciation we experience daily, serving as a reminder to acknowledge and celebrate them. In essence, Dalek's "Thank You!!" is more than just a marker drawing; it is a testament to the transformative power of street pop art. Through Marshall's work, we are invited to recognize the beauty in simplicity, the potential of unconventional materials, and the importance of gratitude. As this piece journeys from the streets to the collector's archive, it carries with it the sincere thanks of the artist, a message that resonates with the hearts of those who encounter it.

Interdimensional Test Print Unique Hand Painted Acrylic Silkscreen Print by Dalek- James Marshall Color Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. TP Test Print 2023 Signed & Tagged Hand Painted Silkscreen Test Print Acrylic HPM Embellished One-of-a-Kind Artwork Size 20x26 Exploring the Layers of 'Interdimensional Test Print' by Dalek - James Marshall James Marshall, known in the art world as Dalek presents 'Interdimensional Test Print,' a unique hand-painted acrylic silkscreen print that captures the vibrant essence of pop street art. The 2023 artwork, sized at 20x26 inches, is not just a visual spectacle but also an embodiment of the experimental nature inherent in creating screen prints as a TP (test print); it bears the marks of an artist at work, the trial stage where colors and compositions are explored before the final edition is run. This test print is tagged and signed by Dalek, bearing the hallmarks of his distinctive style - bold colors, geometric shapes, and a unique sense of depth. The term 'HPM' denotes 'Hand Painted Multiple,' indicating that while the print may be part of a series, each piece is uniquely embellished by the artist, making it one-of-a-kind. The combination of silkscreen printing and hand painting blurs the lines between mass-produced art and unique creations, a hallmark of street pop art and graffiti artwork that often plays with such dichotomies. Dalek's Artistic Process and the Significance of Test Prints Dalek's 'Interdimensional Test Print' provides insight into the artist's process. The test print serves as a creative playground for the artist, a space to experiment with color overlays, composition adjustments, and new techniques. This stage is crucial as it allows the artist to see how different colors interact on the chosen paper, how the overlays create new hues, and how the various elements of the design come together. It's a behind-the-scenes look at the meticulous process involved in screen printing, where each layer must be carefully considered and executed. Using acrylic paint to embellish the print adds a textured, handcrafted dimension to the work, distinguishing it from the more uniform, mechanical process of screen printing. This interplay of precision and spontaneity often characterizes street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the raw, immediate energy of street art meets the calculated design of pop art. 'Interdimensional Test Print' in the Context of Street Pop Art and Graffiti In the broader context of street pop art and graffiti, Dalek's 'Interdimensional Test Print' stands out for its vivid exploration of form and color. Street pop art often takes cues from the bustling urban environment and its cacophony of signs, symbols, and colors. In this piece, Dalek synthesizes these elements into a cohesive whole that is both chaotic and controlled, a reflection of the complex urban landscapes from which street art emerges. The print showcases Dalek's evolution from his earlier graffiti-based work towards a style that incorporates street art and fine art elements. His work has always been characterized by an engagement with the visual lexicon of graffiti—its bold lines, vivid colors, and recurring motifs. Yet, in 'Interdimensional Test Print,' there is a noticeable shift towards a more abstract and complex composition that suggests a deeper engagement with the formal qualities of art-making. This piece not only represents Dalek's artistic journey but also the journey of street pop art itself. The genre has moved from the fringes of the art world to occupy a more central position, where it is recognized for its innovation, technical skill, and capacity to communicate complex themes. 'Interdimensional Test Print,' with its hand-painted layers and meticulous silkscreen technique, is emblematic of this shift, encapsulating the essence of street pop art as a continually evolving form and defying easy categorization. Collectors and admirers of Dalek's work recognize the intrinsic value of a piece like 'Interdimensional Test Print.' As a one-of-a-kind artwork, it holds aesthetic appeal and an intimate connection to the artist's hand and creative spirit. It embodies the dynamism of street pop art and graffiti artwork, a field that continues to push boundaries and challenge our perceptions of art and creativity.

"I use photographic images as the basis for the art, but I would sometimes draw directly on the acetate before I burn the screens to bring out parts of the images I felt were important. Each piece for this run was individually screen printed and hand-painted using a variety of acrylic and other mediums. Take notice of the colors rather than the image, even though that might be difficult to do sometimes. The colors represent what's going on in my life at any given moment." - Bobby Hill

Shadow Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on Museum Fine Art Paper by DAIM Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 20x13 "In 1989 I wrote my writer’s name for the first time. After all those years I still see this lettering as a self-portrait. By concentrating on a certain idea, the technique or a style, by working on a certain piece for a long time frame, by totally engaging in this process, you get to know a lot about yourself and your personality. And this of course can be seen again in the works, that I create.I wanted to realize something special: The series of these three prints is chosen so that you can reproduce the entire spectrum of my work. My use of the name DAIM is becoming more and more complex in them. My development as a human being strongly corresponds with this process. It has something to do with personal maturing, the general situation of aging." - Daim Shadow Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print by DAIM Shadow by DAIM is a striking three-dimensional graffiti composition that explores the contrast between depth, structure, and abstraction. This archival pigment print on museum fine art paper presents the artist’s trademark illusion of sculptural lettering, where sharp, angular forms appear to emerge from and recede into the background. The play of light and shadow in this work enhances its monumental presence, making it a prime example of modern graffiti transformed into fine art. Three-Dimensional Lettering and Architectural Influence DAIM, born Mirko Reisser, is internationally recognized for his pioneering role in three-dimensional graffiti lettering. His approach integrates architectural precision with abstract movement, resulting in compositions that seem to break free from the two-dimensional plane. Shadow embodies this mastery by using layered depth, shading, and an interplay of light and darkness to create the illusion of floating structures. This piece utilizes a muted palette of grays, blacks, whites, and hints of blue, creating a stark, industrial aesthetic. The shadows cast by each fragment of the lettering give the impression that the composition exists within an atmospheric void, emphasizing the dynamic energy of destruction and reconstruction within the piece. The letterforms remain highly stylized yet nearly deconstructed, symbolizing the fluidity of identity and artistic evolution. Personal Evolution and Graffiti as Self-Reflection For DAIM, graffiti is more than a visual statement—it is a self-portrait. His approach to lettering has evolved over the decades, becoming increasingly complex and introspective. He has described his work as a reflection of personal growth, with each composition marking a distinct phase in his artistic and personal journey. Shadow represents a refinement of his three-dimensional technique, stripping down elements to their most essential yet impactful forms. The controlled chaos of the composition reflects a balance between movement and stillness, showcasing DAIM’s ability to create a harmonious tension within his work. The controlled drips along the edges of the piece allude to the organic roots of graffiti, reminding viewers of the raw, urban origins of the art form. The Impact of DAIM on Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork DAIM’s contributions to street pop art & graffiti artwork have established him as a leading figure in three-dimensional urban lettering. His work blurs the lines between graffiti, architecture, and contemporary abstraction, challenging traditional notions of what street art can achieve. Shadow stands as a testament to the depth and sophistication of graffiti as an art form, pushing the boundaries of lettering into the realm of fine art and modern design. By mastering light, perspective, and structure, DAIM has elevated graffiti into a fully immersive visual experience, leaving an indelible mark on the art world. His ability to transform simple letters into multidimensional sculptures continues to inspire the next generation of urban artists.

Frontier I Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Paper by Artist Josh Keyes, Street Pop Art Graffiti Legend. Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper Size: 24 x 19 Inches Release: July 26, 2019 Run of: 250 I think they are successful in that I accomplished what I set out to express. I would enjoy revisiting this theme in the future. I think the imagery is interesting and wacky, and when I look at the print, it transports me someplace far, far away. I like art that leaves me slightly confused and with unanswered questions. If you need another reason, the paper and printing quality are top notch." - Josh Keyes The theoretical context of his work is connected to mythological and folklore themes –especially the legends and stories of Native Americans- and the imagery that exists between dreams and nightmares in order to express a profound existential anxiety and uncertainty. In the dystopia of Keyes nature interacts with the urban life in an abstract and unsettling way, which aesthetically reminisces scientific textbook illustrations and anatomical diagrams.
