  • Companion Model Drawing Original Graphite Drawing by Robert Lazzarini

    Robert Lazzarini Companion Model Drawing Original Graphite Drawing by Robert Lazzarini

    Companion Model Drawing Original Graphite Drawing by Robert Lazzarini on Fine Art Paper Modern Street Pop Artwork. 2010 Signed Original Graphite Pencil Drawing Size 11.5x14.5. Robert Lazzarini (b. 1965) Companion Model Drawing, c. 2010 Graphite on paper 14-1/2 x 11-1/2 inches (36.8 x 29.2 cm) (sheet) Signed in pencil to lower right. Exploring Robert Lazzarini's Companion Model Drawing in the Context of Street Pop and Graffiti Art American contemporary artist Robert Lazzarini was born in 1965 and is renowned for his mind-bending sculptures that manipulate everyday items such as guns, chairs, and skulls. These pieces challenge our understanding of reality, incorporating a mix of computer-aided design and traditional sculpting methods. Lazzarini completed his studies at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, earning his BFA in 1990. His artwork has been showcased in numerous galleries and museums across the globe, with some of his most notable exhibitions being held at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Hirshhorn Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Lazzarini's sculptures are famous for their ability to distort and alter our spatial perception. His creations' unconventional shapes and dimensions make the viewer question the objects themselves and the reality they occupy. Lazzarini's artwork challenges us to reconsider our assumptions and preconceptions about the world around us by presenting familiar objects in unfamiliar ways. The art world is an ever-evolving landscape, and within its broad spectrum lies the fusion genre of Street Pop Art, a style that embodies the rebellious spirit of street art with the mass appeal of pop art. It's within this creative milieu that Robert Lazzarini's "Companion Model Drawing," a graphite-on-paper creation, finds its place. This artwork, dating back to circa 2010, represents a significant contribution to the genre, offering a unique blend of street art's grit and pop art's accessible imagery. Born in 1965, Lazzarini has been a prominent figure in the contemporary art scene, known for his distortion of familiar objects and icons, effectively challenging viewers' perceptions and expectations. The "Companion Model Drawing" is a testament to his distinctive approach, as it presents the viewer with a sketch that appears to be simple at first glance but reveals complex undercurrents upon closer inspection. The piece size, 14-1/2 x 11-1/2 inches, is intimate, inviting personal engagement, and the graphite medium gives it a raw, unfinished quality that resonates with the ethos of street art. Interpreting Lazzarini's Artistic Technique and Street Pop Art Aesthetic Lazzarini's work is often characterized by a meticulous technique that belies the chaotic impression it leaves. This is evident in the "Companion Model Drawing," where the lines are deliberate and precise, yet the overall effect is disorientation and altered reality. Though rendered in graphite, this drawing carries the visual weight and immediacy often associated with graffiti artwork. The boldness of the lines and the shading techniques contribute to a three-dimensional effect, making the drawing leap off the fine art paper. While not a traditional example of graffiti art, the artwork embodies the movement's spirit through its engagement with popular culture and subversive elements. The subject of the drawing, which can be described as a deconstructed character, resonates with the iconography typical in street and pop art. Lazzarini's signature in pencil at the bottom right corner adds a personal touch to the piece, anchoring it firmly within the artist's body of work. The Cultural Relevance of Lazzarini's Work in Modern Art Discourse Street Pop Art is not merely an aesthetic; it's a cultural phenomenon that speaks to societal narratives, often acting as a visual language for urban experiences. Lazzarini's "Companion Model Drawing" engages with this dialogue through its subject matter and execution. The choice of a companion model, a figure that could be interpreted as a guide or an alter ego, reflects the personal yet universal themes that street art explores. The artwork blurs the lines between high art and the more democratically accessible street art, embodying the inclusive nature of modern art movements. Moreover, Lazzarini's drawing bridges the immediacy of street art and the enduring nature of fine art. While graffiti is ephemeral, often painted over or washed away, the permanence of graphite on paper allows this piece to become a lasting record of artistic expression. It captures a moment in time within the street pop art movement, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and study. Conclusion: The Impact of Lazzarini's Companion Model Drawing In conclusion, Robert Lazzarini's "Companion Model Drawing" is a significant piece at the intersection of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. Its execution in graphite on fine art paper transcends the temporary nature of street art, allowing it to be appreciated as a long-lasting artifact. The piece showcases Lazzarini's technical prowess and embodies the essence of street pop art—a blend of subcultural depth and pop culture iconography. As a signed original graphite pencil drawing from 2010, it carries the hallmarks of Lazzarini's style: a thought-provoking distortion of reality that challenges and engages the viewer. This artwork remains a crucial reference point for those interested in the evolution of street-inspired art within contemporary art discourse.

    Contact Study 7 Original Painting/Drawing Acrylic & Colored Pencil on 100lb Bristol Board Paper by Taylor White Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "I started studying a form of modern dance called Contact Improvisation, and that study has opened me up to a new set of curiosities which I’ve been able to explore both physically in space, and visually on the page. It became about the point of surrender, of the sacrifice of the ego and all its trappings. To 'dance' on paper has been entirely mind-opening and I’ve tackled it with a renewed spirit. I’ve been playing with the use of fluorescents to give more of a vibrant mood to the images. I had a lot of fun playing around with the blues and reds in this piece, the push and pull of light and shadow and using vibrance and color to direct focus around the planes of the piece." - Taylor White

    Naoto Hattori Tripping Devil Original Graphite Pencil Drawing by Naoto Hattori

    Tripping Devil is an original hand-drawn art drawing on framed, hand-deckled, aged art paper by Surreal Artist Naoto Hattori. 2012 Signed Original One of a Kind Pencil/Graphite Drawing Framed Artwork Frame Size 8.5x8.5 Image Size 3x5 Custom Framed & Matted By Artist. The Fusion of Street Pop and Graffiti Art in Naoto Hattori's Work The intersection of street pop art and graffiti represents a vibrant and often rebellious art form that seeks to challenge traditional aesthetics, present social commentary, and engage public spaces as a canvas for expression. Naoto Hattori's "Tripping Devil" is a profound example of this artistic intersection, although it differs from the conventional spray-painted murals on city walls. This 2012 original pencil/graphite drawing is a testament to the diverse techniques and materials employed within the genre, bridging the raw spirit of street art with the meticulous skills of classical drawing. Hattori's piece is delicately framed, sized at 8.5x8.5 inches, with the image measuring 3x5 inches. The artist crafted the custom frame and matting, underscoring the personalized touch and attention to detail that Hattori brings to his work. The art paper is hand-deckled and aged, a choice that lends an additional layer of texture and a sense of historical depth to the piece. This material selection is particularly poignant, as it imbues the artwork with an ancient quality that contrasts sharply with the typically ephemeral nature of street and graffiti art. Naoto Hattori's Unique Aesthetic within Street Pop Art Naoto Hattori's oeuvre is often characterized by dream-like surrealism, where fantastical creatures and morphed figures challenge the viewer's perception of reality. "Tripping Devil" is no exception. The drawing features a creature with a human-like face and a body that transitions into an octopus-like form. This blending of the human and the surreal is a hallmark of Hattori's style and speaks to the transformative potential of street pop art and graffiti artwork. The stark monochromatic palette of graphite focuses on the intricate details and shading that bring the "Tripping Devil" to life. Despite being contained within a frame, the artwork carries the spirit of street pop art, often characterized by a bold defiance of boundaries and an embrace of the unconventional. Hattori's systematic approach to drawing parallels the deliberate and thoughtful techniques used by street artists and graffiti writers to create their pieces, albeit on a different scale and medium. Naoto Hattori and the Collectibility of Street Pop Art Collectors and enthusiasts of street pop art and graffiti artwork are increasingly seeking pieces to be displayed within the home, transitioning from public spectacle to personal treasure. Hattori's "Tripping Devil" exemplifies this trend, offering the art market a one-of-a-kind piece that encapsulates the essence of street art in a form that is both collectible and suited for private exhibition. The artist's signature on the piece is a seal of authenticity and a bridge between the artist and the collector. The originality of the "Tripping Devil" is paramount. In a domain where mass production and replication are commonplace, Hattori's commitment to creating a singular original work elevates the piece's value and appeal. The meticulous nature of the work, combined with its unique presentation on aged art paper, creates a dialogue between the transient nature of street art and the enduring quality of fine art collecting. The Cultural Relevance of Hattori's Artistry In the broader context of street pop art and graffiti artwork, Hattori's "Tripping Devil" stands out as a cultural artifact that embodies the innovative spirit of these art forms. While street pop art often conveys messages about popular culture and societal issues, Hattori's work delves into the psyche, exploring themes of identity, consciousness, and the human condition through a surrealistic lens. This piece, while not displayed in a public space, continues the tradition of street pop art and graffiti artwork with its aim to provoke thought and evoke emotion. The surreal elements invite interpretation and reflection, much like the larger-than-life murals and tags in urban environments. Hattori's "Tripping Devil" is a reminder that the heart of street art lies not only in its location but also in its ability to connect with viewers on a profound level, challenging perceptions and encouraging a deeper engagement with the visual narrative. Naoto Hattori's "Tripping Devil" is an exquisite example of the potential for cross-pollination between street pop art, graffiti artwork, and traditional drawing techniques. It stands as a testament to the artist's skill and the versatility of street-inspired art. As this piece demonstrates, the value of street pop art and graffiti artwork extends beyond the city's walls, finding a place within the collections of art lovers who appreciate the nuanced blend of rebellion, craftsmanship, and narrative depth that these genres offer.

    Catalyst Original Hand Drawn Art Drawing on Framed Hand Deckled Aged Art Paper by Surreal Artist Naoto Hattori. 2012 Signed Original One-of-a-Kind Pencil/Graphite Drawing Framed Artwork Frame Size 8.5x8.5 Image Size 3x5. Custom Framed & Matted By Artist Naoto Hattori's "Catalyst": A Surreal Intersection of Imagery and Emotion "Catalyst," an original hand-drawn art piece by the surreal artist Naoto Hattori, represents a unique convergence of delicate pencil work and emotive surrealism captured on hand-deckled aged art paper. This 2012 one-of-a-kind pencil/graphite drawing is a testament to Hattori's skill in portraying complex, dream-like visions within a compact space. The framed artwork, with an image size of 3x5 inches and a frame size of 8.5x8.5 inches, has been custom framed and matted by the artist, adding a personal touch that complements the intimate scale of the work. This drawing stands apart from conventional urban art's execution and presentation. While street pop art and graffiti artwork are typically associated with large-scale, public displays, Hattori's "Catalyst" invites a more personal interaction. The piece is imbued with the intricacies of fine art while resonating with the accessibility and visceral impact often found in street art. Hattori's work does not scream from the walls; instead, it whispers, drawing the viewer into a one-on-one dialogue with the art. Exploring the Artistic Detail in "Catalyst" The meticulous detail in "Catalyst" showcases Hattori's masterful control of pencil and graphite, revealing an otherworldly creature that seems to emerge from the very fibers of the aged paper. The hand-decked paper highlights the artist's appreciation for the tactile qualities of his materials and his intent to merge the traditional with the surreal. Each stroke and shadow in the drawing contributes to an overall sense of depth and dimension, breathing life into the fantastical subject. The creature depicted combines familiar elements with the enigmatic, challenging the viewer's perception of reality. The intimate size of the image, contrasting with the more substantial frame, emphasizes the artwork's precious nature, akin to a relic or a talisman. This sense of preciousness is often sought in street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the transient nature of the medium contrasts sharply with the desire to create something lasting and impactful. Hattori's "Catalyst," while not a typical street art piece, captures the essence of what many street artists strive for—an enduring connection with the audience. Naoto Hattori's "Catalyst" is a profound piece of art that transcends the boundaries between the various disciplines of pop art, street art, and surrealism. It encapsulates the ethereal, tangible, imagined, and accurate, inviting viewers to ponder the unknown depths of their psyche. The meticulous craftsmanship, coupled with the unique presentation, makes "Catalyst" a valuable addition to contemporary art discourse, highlighting the breadth and diversity within the realm of artistic expression.

  • Sale -15% Praying Frog Original Graphite Pencil Drawing by Naoto Hattori

    Naoto Hattori Praying Frog Original Graphite Pencil Drawing by Naoto Hattori

    Praying Frog Original Hand Drawn Art Drawing on Framed Hand Deckled Aged Art Paper by Surreal Artist Naoto Hattori. 2012 Signed Original One-of-a-Kind Pencil/Graphite Drawing Framed Artwork Frame Size 8.5x8.5 Image Size 3x5 Custom Framed & Matted By Artist. Naoto Hattori's Praying Frog: A Fusion of Surrealism and Street Aesthetics The 'Praying Frog' original hand-drawn art drawing is a compelling illustration of Naoto Hattori's capacity to intertwine the whimsical aspects of surrealism with the grounded, accessible elements characteristic of street pop art and graffiti artwork. This piece, brought to life in 2012, is a one-of-a-kind pencil/graphite drawing that has been carefully framed and matted by the artist, underscoring Hattori's personal involvement and artistic dedication to his work. Set in a square frame measuring 8.5x8.5 inches, the artwork occupies a 3x5 inch space on hand-deckled aged art paper, chosen for its textured quality and how it contributes to the overall aesthetic of the piece. The 'Praying Frog' stands out in its simplicity and the depth of its expression. The choice of subject, a frog caught in a moment of anthropomorphic posture, implies a narrative that goes beyond the visual, prompting reflection and inviting personal interpretation. This is a common thread in street pop art, where the imagery often serves as a portal to deeper contemplation, engaging the viewer in a dialogue that transcends the artwork itself. Hattori's decision to custom frame and mat the piece enhances its intimacy, suggesting that this small window into a surreal world is a complete universe in and of itself. The Intimacy of Hattori's Art in the Public Domain of Street Art The realm of street pop art and graffiti artwork is typically associated with large-scale works that command public spaces; however, Hattori's 'Praying Frog' challenges this notion by presenting a world contained within the modest dimensions of a small-scale drawing. The piece's intimacy reflects the ethos of street art, which is often about making personal statements in the public sphere. Hattori's work brings this sensibility into the private domain, allowing for a one-on-one interaction between the art and the viewer. The detailed graphite work, combined with the hand-deckled edges of the aged paper, creates a tactile experience that invites the viewer to lean in and engage with the subtle textures and shades that define the drawing. The artwork's presentation, with slight signs of handling and the artist's touch in its framing, resonates with the authenticity sought in street art. While serving to protect and showcase the drawing, the frame also bears witness to the passage of time, evidenced by the gentle marks and scuffs that tell of the artwork's journey from creation to curation. These marks of age and handling imbue the 'Praying Frog' with a history and presence often found in the patinated surfaces of urban street art. Transcending Boundaries: The 'Praying Frog' in the Context of Street Pop Art Naoto Hattori's 'Praying Frog' is a profound example of how the boundaries between different art forms can be transcended, creating a space where the surreal can coexist with the urban aesthetic of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Though confined to a small scale, the drawing is expansive in its emotional and imaginative reach. It captures the viewer's attention in much the same way that a mural might seize the gaze of passersby on a bustling street, proving that impact is not limited by size. The artwork's meticulous attention to detail and the thoughtful selection of aged paper demonstrate Hattori's reverence for materials with inherent stories within their fibers. This parallels how street art often incorporates the character of the urban landscape into its narrative, allowing the environment to become part of the artwork itself. Though removed from the city's walls, the' Praying Frog' carries the spirit of street art in its essence, bridging the gap between the gallery and the alleyway. 'Praying Frog' is a microcosm of Hattori's artistic philosophy, blending the dreamlike qualities of his surrealism with the grounded, emotive pull of street pop art. This piece not only represents a visual exploration of thematic depth but also serves as a physical artifact of Hattori's journey as an artist—a journey marked by the convergence of imagination and the tactile, textured world in which we live.

    Fish Original Hand Drawn Art Drawing on Framed Hand Deckled Aged Art Paper by Surreal Artist Naoto Hattori. 2012 Signed Original One-of-a-Kind Pencil/Graphite Drawing Framed Artwork Frame Size 8.5x8.5 Image Size 3x5 Custom Framed & Matted By Artist, Slight Scuffing To Frame Consistent to Age. The Artistic Journey of Naoto Hattori's Fish Original Drawing Naoto Hattori's unique contribution to the art world often finds a comfortable residence at the intersection of surrealism and street art. The 'Fish Original' hand-drawn art piece on framed hand-deckled aged art paper is a distinct representation of this artistic blend. Crafted in 2012, this original pencil/graphite drawing is a testament to Hattori's intricate style and ability to create depth and narrative within the confines of minimalist subject matter. The artwork, housed within a custom 8.5x8.5 inch frame, showcases an image size of 3x5 inches, offering a glimpse into the artist's surreal perspective through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artwork. This singular piece by Hattori is a signed, original, one-of-a-kind drawing showcasing monochromatic art's subtle yet powerful impact. The decision to create this work on hand-deckled aged art paper indicates Hattori's reverence for the textural qualities that the paper brings to the artwork. The deckled edges add an element of antiquity and an organic feel to the piece, enhancing the visual experience and complementing the simplicity of the subject—a single fish. The drawing, while straightforward in its representation, is imbued with a sense of motion and life, capturing the subject's essence with a delicate realism often associated with Hattori's work. Exploring the Nuances of Hattori's Surrealism in a Street Art Context The 'Fish Original' piece by Naoto Hattori is a subtle nod to the fluidity of street pop art and the evocative nature of graffiti artwork. While Hattori's work is primarily rooted in surrealism, the influences of street art are evident in the way he approaches his subjects. This drawing has a certain rawness and directness, qualities frequently celebrated in street art. The pencil work is precise, yet there is an undercurrent of freedom and spontaneity that aligns with the spirit of graffiti art. Custom framed and matted by the artist, the 'Fish Original' drawing reflects Hattori's hands-on approach to his art from inception to presentation. The slight scuffing on the frame, consistent with its age, adds character to the piece, suggesting a history beyond its visual content. This kind of patina often draws admirers of street art to such pieces, as it provides a rich and personal narrative. The scuffs are not flaws but marks of a journey, much like the weathered walls that serve as canvases in street art.  Street Pop Art, Graffiti Artwork, and the Intimacy of Small-Scale Works The world of street pop art and graffiti artwork is known for its boldness and large-scale visibility. However, pieces like Hattori's 'Fish Original' challenge this convention by bringing the intimacy of small-scale artwork into focus. Through this drawing, Hattori communicates that the essence of street pop art is not confined to size but is found in the authenticity and expressive power of the piece. Hattori's choice of framing and matting further personalizes the artwork, making it a complete piece that offers a narrative, much like street art, which often tells stories in the public domain. The 'Fish Original' by Naoto Hattori bridges the often disparate worlds of fine art and street art, marrying the intricacy of pencil drawing with the accessible, emotive drawing of street pop art.

    Black Widow Black & Red 21_21a Original Spray Paint Charcoal Painting by Saber One of a Kind Artwork on Fine Art Paper by Street Art Pop Artist. 2022 Signed Spray Paint & Charcoal Pencil Original Painting On Hand Deckled Paper Size 15x17.5. "I love Black Widows ⚫️ ♦️🕷... growing up in Southern California we are surrounded by them. Once you notice thier presents they have a tendency to seep into your subconscious, as they have mine. I spent a little extra time with this series. I added little spider and web details hidden in each piece. Also I'm including some extra gifts created for this series within the packaging. These are not prints but individual paintings. This was created by dipping the edges of the paper in water then quickly scrawling on it with waterbased spraypaint using a fat cap. Then, quickly blast it with a hose while it is still wet to reveal the spraypaints ghost like textures and whips. These ghost shapes become the pathways to then detail out with black charcoal pencil. Because of the fast chaotic nature of the first stage of this process using the spraypaint each piece becomes unique yet simular. The detailing process of the second stage using the black charcoal pencil is slower paced and requires more attention. This drawing process becomes cathartic and meditative as each little puzzle is completed. -Also, as I was working on this series, my son was inspired to draw this baby blackwidow drawing. He insisted I hide this as a gift in one of the packages as a thank you.." -Saber

This 2023 collection, a numbered series of 25 unique hand-painted multiples (HPM), features miniature 3.5x3 inch drawings of black widow spiders rendered in a striking neon pink. These pieces are accompanied by hand-painted and tagged cardboard, combining natural motifs and urban art sensibilities. Saber's Mixed Media Mastery Saber, an artist whose works are embedded in the DNA of modern street art, utilizes a diverse range of materials such as pen ink, highlighter, marker, and colored pencils to bring these arachnids to life. The neon pink is arresting and symbolic, challenging the viewer's perceptions of danger and attraction. In the natural world, bright colors often serve as a warning, and in the urban landscape, they demand attention – a parallel that Saber skillfully draws upon in his artwork. The inclusion of hand-painted cardboard adds an element of raw authenticity to the series. Cardboard, a ubiquitous and often discarded material, is transformed into a valuable part of the art, questioning the hierarchy of materials and the value assigned to different mediums. This approach is emblematic of street pop art's capacity to elevate the mundane and to find beauty in the overlooked. Themes of Survival and Beauty Black widow spiders are creatures that evoke a mixture of fear and fascination. Saber taps into this duality, using the spiders as a metaphor for resilience and the delicate balance between beauty and danger. This narrative is particularly resonant within the context of street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the act of creation itself is often a form of survival and defiance. The spiders, set against Saber's signature tags backdrop, embody the tension inherent in street art – the push and pull between legality and expression, between the individual artist and the broader community. Through his neon pink black widows, Saber invites a dialogue about the interplay between instincts and urban environments and the instinctual drive to leave a mark through silk webs or spray paint.

Graphite & Colored Pencils
Graphite and colored pencils might seem like the tools of traditional fine artists and illustrators, but they have found a unique and vibrant place within the realms of pop art, street art, and graffiti artwork. These humble instruments, known for their precision and range of expression, have been wielded by artists to challenge the boundaries between high art and popular culture.

Graphite's Grey Scale in Pop Art's Colorful World

Graphite pencils have been essential in creating preliminary sketches and detailed drawings in pop art. The subtle gradations of grey achievable with graphite have allowed artists to render the shadows and highlights necessary to bring a sense of three-dimensionality to two-dimensional pop art pieces. This effect can be seen in the early works of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, where pencil sketches served as the blueprint for their bold, colorful paintings that often commented on consumerist culture.

Colored Pencils: Bringing Vibrancy to Street Pop Art & Graffiti

Colored pencils bring a burst of energy and life to the monochromatic world of pencil drawing. In the hands of street artists and pop art creators, colored pencils are not just for coloring within the lines; they are tools for innovation. Street artists have utilized colored pencils to add intricate details to their works, create mock-ups of large murals, or produce standalone pieces characterized by their vibrancy and finesse.

The Role of Pencils in Crafting Street Art Narratives

In the storytelling of street pop art and graffiti, pencils play a crucial role. Artists like Banksy and Shepard Fairey have used pencil drawings to plan out their iconic works, with Fairey's "Obey Giant" campaign starting as a simple sticker that evolved from his illustrations. Pencil work enables artists to plot out visual narratives, which are then translated onto walls and canvases across the globe.

Graphite and Colored Pencils in Artistic Exploration

The exploration of graphite and colored pencils in pop art and graffiti extends to texture and form. Artists have experimented with these tools to create works that push the envelope of what can be achieved with simple strokes. The layering of colors, blending, and textural effects achieved with pencils allow for a depth and richness that rival that of paint, yet with a distinctive clarity that only pencils can impart. The use of graphite and colored pencils in street pop art and graffiti artwork is a celebration of the potential within the basic tools of art. These mediums, often associated with the early stages of art education and preliminary art processes, hold their own as powerful means of expression in the world of contemporary art. Whether used for planning, detailing, or creating complete works, pencils are an artist's ally, capable of bringing the vivid world of imagination to the tangible canvas of reality.
