  • Icarus Democracy Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Icarus Democracy Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Icarus Democracy 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 24x36 "Liberty and equality are principles most people value, but the challenge is to find the proper equilibrium between the two. Democracy is the mechanism our nation has used to balance the freedom and desires of the individual with policies that are fair and beneficial for the collective of society. Democracy requires dedicated maintenance. With the culture of the previous administration and many politicians undermining democracy itself, the folly of over-confidence about the guaranteed endurance of democracy will lead to potential disaster. The threat of fascism is very real. If you value democracy use your voice and your vote. I’d recommend reading Timothy Snyders “On Tyranny” to anyone who does not see the threats to democracy (and the principles it protects) as concerning. This print, “Icarus Democracy,” will also be available in person at Dallas Contemporary." -Shepard Fairey The Icarus Democracy Silkscreen Print is a piece of art created by Shepard Fairey, an American contemporary street artist, graphic designer, and activist. In the Icarus Democracy Silkscreen Print, Fairey uses the myth of Icarus to convey a message about democracy. In Greek mythology, Icarus is a figure who, along with his father Daedalus, escapes imprisonment using wings fashioned from feathers and wax. Despite being warned by his father, Icarus flies too close to the sun, causing the wax in his wings to melt and sending him plummeting into the sea. The story of Icarus is often interpreted as a cautionary tale about hubris and the perils of overconfidence or overreaching. Fairey's print likely uses the Icarus story to comment on the state of democracy, suggesting that democracies can also fall victim to hubris and overconfidence, resulting in negative consequences. Or maybe it's just fearmongering? The piece serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance in preserving and protecting democratic values and institutions both ironically and literally. The artwork, like many of Fairey's pieces, is created using the silkscreen printing technique. This process involves using a screen to apply ink onto a surface, creating bold, vibrant images. The Icarus Democracy Silkscreen Print showcases Fairey's signature style, characterized by strong lines, bold colors, and iconic imagery, featuring portraiture & symbols that can be easily recognized and interpreted by a wide audience.

  • Venus Unique 13 Unique Original Silkscreen by Mr Brainwash- Thierry Guetta x Rubiks

    Mr Brainwash- Thierry Guetta Venus Unique 13 Unique Original Silkscreen by Mr Brainwash- Thierry Guetta x Rubiks

    Venus Unique #13 Unique Original HPM 6-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on hand-torn archival paper by Mr. Brainwash- Thierry Guetta x Rubik's Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2021 HPM Signed & Numbered Hand Painted Original Unique One of a Kind Deckled Artwork Size 16x16. Custom Frame & Mat. Each print is signed plus numbered 1/1 by the Artist, with a thumbprint on the back and printed on hand-torn archival paper. Art history gets a Rubik's remix in the latest edition print release from Mr.Brainwash. The Intersection of Classical Imagery and Contemporary Street Pop Art in Mr. Brainwash’s Venus Unique #13 Thierry Guetta, artistically known as Mr. Brainwash, has been a transformative force in modern art, bridging the gap between street art's rebellious energy and pop art's iconic imagery. His work, Venus Unique #13, is a testament to this fusion, embodying the spontaneous creativity of Graffiti Street Artists Modern Pop Art. Released in 2021, this hand-pulled silkscreen print is part of an original series that infuses the classic depiction of Venus with a burst of contemporary life, underscored by the vibrant disruption of a Rubik's cube pattern. Venus Unique #13 is a symbolic piece within Mr. Brainwash's oeuvre. It is a 6-color silkscreen print, underscored by the Artist's hand-painted embellishments on hand-torn archival paper, which gives it an organic and tactile feel. The artwork is encased in a custom frame and mat, enhancing its visual appeal and preserving its condition. This particular print is marked 1/1, signaling its status as a unique work within the series. It is further authenticated by Mr. Brainwash's signature and thumbprint on the reverse, hallmarking its originality. Capturing Art Historical References with a Modern Twist Mr. Brainwash's penchant for juxtaposing classic art historical references with modern elements is evident in Venus Unique #13. The artwork reimagines the Roman goddess Venus, an enduring symbol of beauty and love, through the lens of modern-day iconography and urban artistry. By overlaying the serene and timeless figure of Venus with the chaotic, colorful patterns of a Rubik's cube, Mr. Brainwash creates a dialogue between the past and the present, between enduring ideals and contemporary challenges. The use of the Rubik's cube is remarkably evocative, as it is a pop culture icon and a metaphor for complexity and the human endeavor to solve puzzles. It suggests that the interpretation of beauty and art is itself a complex puzzle, a challenge that evolves with time and perspective. Mr. Brainwash cleverly employs the cube's colors and forms to fracture and reinterpret the classical imagery, giving it a new context and relevance in today's visual language of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. The Signature Style and Cultural Commentary of Mr. Brainwash Mr. Brainwash's signature style is characterized by his bold use of color, eclectic iconography, and seamless blending of various artistic techniques. Venus Unique #13 is imbued with this signature approach, showcasing a harmonious blend of spray-painted graffiti with refined silkscreen printing. The piece is as much a celebration of the Artist's technical skill as it is of his conceptual ingenuity. By integrating elements like comic strips, street signs, and pop culture ephemera into the backdrop of Venus, Mr. Brainwash comments on the inundation of media and advertising in our daily lives. His artwork becomes a canvas where modern-day consumerism and the timeless quest for meaning and beauty intersect. Including such diverse and seemingly disparate elements is a nod to the complex visual landscapes we navigate, suggesting that art and beauty can be found in the most unexpected places. Collectability and Influence in Contemporary Art The collectability of Mr. Brainwash's work, particularly pieces like Venus Unique #13, is significant. As a unique, one-of-a-kind piece with the Artist's direct involvement, it holds aesthetic value and a high degree of collectible appeal. The artwork's size, 16x16 inches, makes it a versatile piece for collectors, suitable for various spaces and settings. These qualities make Mr. Brainwash's work highly sought after by enthusiasts of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. Venus Unique #13 is more than just a visual statement; it reflects the current era where art history receives a contemporary remix. Mr. Brainwash's approach to art challenges viewers to see beyond the surface and appreciate each piece's layers of meaning and craftsmanship. In doing so, he has cemented his place within the modern art movement, inspiring both admiration and critical thought about the role and interpretation of art in contemporary society.

  • Not Great Men Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Not Great Men Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Not Great Men 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed & Numbered, Not Great Men Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 450 August 20, 201 The Not Great Men print was inspired by the Gang of Four song of the same name from their album “Entertainment”.. Gang of Four are a great band musically and lyrically with many of their songs tackling subjects like consumption, capitalism, obsession with power, exploitation, narcissism, and class structure. The song Not Great Men has long struck me as a wise indictment of the contradiction or paradox of leadership and power. It takes assertive, charismatic people with self-confidence to be leaders, but on the dark side, leaders are often power hungry, manipulative, and abusive of their power.

As a limited edition release, the artist signed and numbered this artwork, further securing its status as a collectible. With only 200 prints, it measures 18x24 inches and is presented on 290gsm rag watercolor fine art paper, which enriches the print's visual texture and color depth.

This juxtaposition is a metaphor for the bloom of ideas and creativity that Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork represent in the concrete jungles of city landscapes. Materials and Techniques: The Artistry Behind the Print The medium of giclée printing is chosen for its ability to reproduce the vibrant hues and intricate details of the original artwork with exceptional clarity. Using 290gsm rag watercolor paper provides a fine art texture more commonly associated with traditional painting techniques, thus elevating the piece from a mere reproduction to an artwork in its own right. This strategic choice of materials underscores the high value placed on quality within Kathy Ager's art practice, ensuring that each edition of "I Hope Your Flowers Bloom" resonates with her vision's authenticity and aesthetic appeal.

This work emulates the transformative power of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, which often takes ordinary urban elements and recontextualizes them in ways that challenge our perceptions of beauty and art.

It reflects a world where the once clear-cut boundaries of 'high' and 'low' art are increasingly blurred, where the visceral impact of graffiti is as esteemed as the studied finesse of gallery exhibits. "I Hope Your Flowers Bloom" stands as a testament to this cultural shift and to contemporary art's dynamic, ever-evolving landscape.

    Genesis Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Beau Stanton Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "This piece was the central panel of a large triptych that made up the centerpiece of my Cartography of the Machine show. All of the work in the exhibition utilized some form of visual exposition to convey the narrative such as exploded views, cutaways, etc. These three paintings all correspond horizontally with elements from each stratified layer continuing into the next painting. I’ve created images before that reference the stratified layers of history, but this image takes the concept in a different direction. A great tree of life blossoming out of the fertile ground made up of designs and ornaments from different time periods and cultures as well as a layer of dinosaur fossils and Greek sculptures (Most of them from the Pergamon Altar)." - Beau Stanton

Greek Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Influence of Greek & Roman Motifs in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

The classical world of Greece and Rome has long served as an inexhaustible wellspring of inspiration for artists across the millennia, and its influence extends robustly into the vibrant domains of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. These ancient civilizations' aesthetics, mythologies, and philosophies find contemporary expression on the urban canvases of cities worldwide, where street artists draw upon their iconic visual language to communicate new ideas and perspectives. The rich tapestry of Greek and Roman art, characterized by its emphasis on humanism, proportion, and pursuit of aesthetic perfection, starkly contrasts street art's often spontaneous, raw, and ephemeral nature. Yet, the two worlds intertwine with surprising harmony. Artists within the Street Pop Art movement often adopt the revered motifs of Greek and Roman art to create a dialogue between the ancient and the modern, the permanent and the transient. This fusion of time-honored imagery with the modern-day lexicon of graffiti creates a unique juxtaposition that celebrates and challenges traditional views of art and its role in society. Murals depicting Greco-Roman gods and goddesses, heroes, and mythical creatures adorn the walls of urban landscapes, serving as a bridge between the past and the present, making profound statements on contemporary culture while honoring the artistic achievements of the ancient world.

Revival and Reinvention of Classical Themes in Modern Urban Art

The revival and reinvention of classical themes in modern urban art symbolize the enduring relevance of Greek and Roman aesthetics. Classical references in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork often go beyond mere visual appeal, embodying the philosophical and cultural ideals central to the Greco-Roman world. The depiction of figures such as Athena, the goddess of wisdom, or Hercules, the epitome of strength and heroism, in street art serves to imbue urban spaces with a sense of timelessness and to connect community narratives with the universal human experience reflected in ancient myths. Furthermore, incorporating architectural elements like columns, friezes, and pediments into graffiti art questions and redefines the concepts of space and place. When painted onto the sides of buildings or integrated into public spaces, these elements encourage a re-examination of the urban environment and its potential as a living museum of collective human history. The transformative power of street pop art and graffiti artwork lies in its ability to take the classical and make it accessible, strip it of its elitist connotations, and reposition it within the democratic sphere of the street. In essence, the fusion of Greek and Roman elements with Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork represents a full-circle moment in the history of artistic expression. It acknowledges Western art's roots while propelling it forward into new territories. The streets become a contemporary agora, echoing the public spaces of ancient Athens, where art and philosophy coexist, and the public is invited to engage with and reflect upon the legacy of the classical world in a visceral, immediate, and undeniably modern manner. Through this ongoing conversation between the ancient and the contemporary, the enduring spirit of Greek and Roman art continues to evolve, inspire, and provoke in the hands of street artists around the globe.
