    DKNG POW! Silkscreen Print by DKNG

    POW! Limited Edition ICON Series 4-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by DKNG Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2014 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition Silkscreen Artwork Size 12x12.The Batmobile from the Classic Adam West Batman TV Show. "Every film has one. A signature prop, set, or location. Something that, in a single image, can represent the entire movie. The design team of Dan Kuhlken and Nathan Goldman, also known as DKNG, call these images “Icons,” and they are the subject of their first-ever solo show at Gallery 1988 West in Los Angeles. The show comprises pieces featuring iconic places and things from your favorite movies and TV shows. Each piece is small – 12 inches square – and is of one thing that sums up an entire movie. And, of course, each is done in DKNG’s distinctive bright, geometric yet detailed style.” -.DKNG DKNG's "POW!": A Nostalgic Ode in Silkscreen DKNG's "POW!" is a cultural emblem, a graphic encapsulation of a pop culture phenomenon rendered through the lens of modern pop art. This piece, part of the ICON series, celebrates the Batmobile from the classic Adam West "Batman" TV show. Limited to a 2014 signed and numbered edition, the 12x12 silkscreen print embodies the fusion of street art vibrancy with the meticulous craft of screen printing. Iconography and Pop Culture in Silkscreen In "POW!", DKNG studios — comprised of artists Dan Kuhlken and Nathan Goldman — employ a 4-color hand-pulled silkscreen process to immortalize the Batmobile. This piece isn't just an image of a car; it represents an era, an iconic slice of television history distilled into a single, stylized image. With their characteristic geometric precision and a palette that captures the vitality of the '60s, DKNG delivers an artwork that is both a tribute and a visual reinvention. The Batmobile is more than just a vehicle; it's a character in its own right, a symbol of justice, adventure, and the tongue-in-cheek campiness that characterized the original "Batman" series. Set against a sunset backdrop with palm trees that suggest the silhouette of Gotham (or, in a real-world sense, the streets of Los Angeles), the image portrays the Batmobile speeding off into another night of crime fighting. DKNG's ability to condense a complex narrative into a single frame is a testament to its design prowess and understanding of pop culture's visual language. Artistic Synthesis in "POW!" The artistry in "POW!" speaks volumes about DKNG's role in the pop art movement and its influence on street art aesthetics. The bold lines and dynamic composition are reminiscent of comic books, while the sophistication of the print reflects a deep appreciation for the art of silkscreen printing. The very nature of screen printing — layering colors, meticulously crafting each element — aligns with the laborious stencil work of street art, demanding precision and vision. Each piece in the ICON series, "POW!" included, acts as a standalone narrative, capturing the essence of its subject in a minimalistic yet detailed fashion. This approach is reminiscent of the philosophical underpinnings of street pop art and graffiti, where the artwork aims to connect quickly and powerfully with the viewer. DKNG manages to evoke the visual excitement of the "Batman" series and the emotional connections many fans have to the original show.  DKNG's Legacy in Contemporary Art DKNG’s work, including "POW!", is a contemporary homage to the moments that define pop culture. Through screen printing, the studio has carved a niche in the art world, blending commercial design with fine art and influencing the trajectory of pop art and street art. Their ICON series, and indeed their entire portfolio, demonstrates how classic techniques can be revitalized for the modern age, breathing new life into the imagery of our collective memory. "POW!" is a representation of DKNG's skill and a piece of nostalgia, appealing to those who are fond of the past while striking a chord with a new generation of design enthusiasts. The silkscreen print is a reminder of the enduring power of iconic imagery and the role of artists in shaping, preserving, and reinterpreting the visual language of pop culture. In essence, DKNG's "POW!" and the ICON series embody the spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork, capturing the attention and imagination of viewers. Through their work, DKNG proves that art can transcend time, place, and medium to forge an indelible mark on both the past and present. The Batmobile, as presented by DKNG, races not just on the streets of Gotham but through the annals of pop art history, powered by the creativity and insight of two visionary artists.

Green

Emerald Tones: The Use of Green in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Green's Emergence in Urban Visual Culture

Green, the color of nature and rebirth, has made a significant leap from the natural world into the urban jungle, asserting its presence within street pop art and graffiti artwork. As a color, green has the unique ability to convey a wide range of emotions and messages, from tranquility and growth to envy and vigor. Within street pop and graffiti, green is not just a color; it's a statement. It brings a piece of the natural world into the often stark, concrete environment of the city, providing a stark contrast that can breathe life into inanimate structures and surfaces. 

Technical Aspects of Green in Street Artistry

The technical application of green in urban art is as varied as the shades it can take on. In street pop art, green can be found in everything from the bright lime greens that scream for attention to the muted olive tones that suggest sophistication and earthiness. Graffiti artists favor the color for its ability to set a mood. Green can ground a piece with a sense of calmness or give it an edge of vibrancy. The particular hue selected can significantly affect the artwork's interaction with light and its surrounding environment, influencing how the work is perceived by its audience. 

Green as a Cultural Signifier in Art

Culturally, green carries a wealth of significance that street and pop artists tap into. It's a color that can represent political movements, environmental activism, and social change. In street pop and graffiti art, green is often employed to draw connections to these themes, leveraging its cultural capital to amplify a message or cause. This symbolism is preserved in the audience; green can trigger a recognition of and engagement with the artwork's deeper narrative.

Color Dynamics: Green in Composition

In terms of color dynamics, green holds a place of versatility. It can harmonize or clash within a composition, depending on its application. The color theory utilized by street pop and graffiti artists often incorporates green to either blend seamlessly with other natural tones or to stand out against a complementary backdrop, such as red or orange. In compositions where green is used alongside shades of blue, a sense of tranquility and naturalism is often evoked. In contrast, its use of yellows can create an energizing and lively effect.

The Symbolism and Utility of Green in Urban Art

The symbolism of green in urban art stretches beyond its visual appeal. It is a valuable color, often used to create a sense of space and depth in a piece. Its various shades can add dimension and the illusion of texture, which is particularly useful in the flat surfaces that are typical canvases for street artists. Furthermore, green has an innate ability to draw the eye, serving as a focal point or a means to direct the viewer's attention to specific elements within the artwork.

Green in the Future of Street and Pop Art

As we look to the future of street pop art and graffiti, green's role seems poised to become even more prominent. With increasing awareness of environmental issues, green has become a color of advocacy—a visual call to arms. The continued use of green in urban art reflects not only aesthetic preferences but also a collective consciousness that resonates with contemporary concerns. Its application across murals, installations, and standalone pieces will likely evolve. Still, the message of green will remain clear: it is a color of life, thought, and the ever-present relationship between the urban and the natural. In every shade, from neon to forest, green in street pop art and graffiti artwork is a bridge between worlds. It is a reminder of the organic within the manufactured, a splash of vitality on the grey canvas of the city. Its application is as thoughtful as it is impactful, with each hue selected for its ability to communicate, to stand out, and to represent the myriad ideas that green encapsulates. Whether it whispers of growth or shouts of change, green is a color that demands to be seen and considered within the broader palette of urban expression.
