  • Sinew Archival Print by Aaron Nagel

    Aaron Nagel Sinew Archival Print by Aaron Nagel

    Sinew Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Aaron Nagel Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "This piece was created for the “20 Years Under the Influence of Juxtapoz” show curated by Thinkspace and Copro that opened in LA last month. It’s still up actually, at the LA Municipal Art Gallery at Barnsdale Park. This was the first larger piece in a while that wasn’t created as part of a larger body of work actually. I’m in-between shows at the moment, so right now I’m trying some new things, playing with new ideas that may or may not carry over into a larger body of work. This piece has since led me into some much weirder territory — that will hopefully see the light of day." - Aaron Nagel

    Nova Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print on 310gsm Museum Natural Fine Art Paper by Dan Quintana Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "The piece did have a theme that was based around the title: Nova. In this case the planet earth, bright with all of its life shining LIKE a star in the universe destined to fall under the demise of mankind, inevitably leveling up into a supernova only to graduate with a stellar explosion. Boom. The painting came from a similar drawing titled “Destructo.” The idea came about from all of the man-kind self-destruction stories and allegories." - Dan Quintana

  • Solitary Child 1 Archival Print by Hikari Shimoda

    Hikari Shimoda Solitary Child 1 Archival Print by Hikari Shimoda

    Solitary Child 1 Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Hikari Shimoda Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "Solitary Child is a series of works, focused on my original theme of the inevitability of the Apocalypse. In this series, I am offering a new savior for humankind- she is a magical girl (Solitary Child #1) and a little boy hero (Solitary Child #3). In the world of my paintings, humanity has perished, as seen in the collage background, where there is an expressed chaos throughout. In these images, my saviors have come upon the dying human race. After the death of man, the world has found some relief from the turmoil that he has brought upon it. Meanwhile, mankind selfishly dreams of newfound happiness in his afterlife. In the mythology of my work, as humanity is destroyed, only one figure remains and that is the Messiah represented as a child. The magical girl was the first to be left alone after humanity was destroyed, left to deal with the despair and damage he left behind. Her eyes are shining and sparkling, but her stare is blank. In contrast, my hero’s eyes are closed ever so gently. To him, everything in the world is very chaotic and overwhelming. He feels all of its happiness, despair, hope, sadness, everything… in such a state, even the world’s savior must shut his eyes to it." - Hikari Shimoda

In this piece the child represents new creative life while the desolate setting reflects the end of the old cycle of life." - Adam Miller

"This piece was digitally painted back in March using a Wacom Cintiq Tablet from sketch to finish. You may notice the hair being fairly whooshy. I'm very proud of this whooshiness. I've seen the show in full. If I'd read the books I would know that her eyes should be purple and her hair should be silver-er. She seemed like the least likely to die and thus the art would live on forever, but I haven't read the books so I could be totally wrong." - Sam Spratt

Hair

Hair as a Symbol in Street Pop Art

From the iconic Warhol wigs to the vibrant and expressive spray-paint portraits found on urban walls, hair has played a significant role in the visual language of pop art, street art, and graffiti art. Its significance goes beyond just aesthetics, serving as a medium of cultural commentary, individual expression, and socio-political critique. Pop art, originating in the 1950s and 60s, often took inspiration from everyday objects and images, recontextualizing them to offer a fresh perspective. Within this movement, hair, especially hairstyles associated with popular celebrities, became symbolic of consumerism, celebrity culture, and the rapidly changing trends of the times. Artists like Andy Warhol leveraged the allure of hair, using it as a central element in his silkscreen prints. Marilyn Monroe’s glamorous blonde locks, for instance, repeated across canvas in bold colors, spoke of her iconic status but also hinted at the artifice and commercial nature of fame. The mass repetition of such imagery underscored the mechanized, commodified aspect of popular culture. Hair, in this regard, became both a subject and symbol within pop art. In the realm of street and graffiti art, hair takes on an even more nuanced and varied significance. Hair, in its myriad forms and connotations, has emerged as a powerful symbol within the domain of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It represents a canvas upon which artists project ideas related to identity, freedom, rebellion, and societal norms. In the vibrant landscape of urban art, hair is not merely a subject but a statement—a tool that artists wield with skill to convey messages that are as varied as the styles they depict. Street pop art, known for its visual punch and immediacy, often employs hair as a motif to draw attention to the socio-political themes of the era. Graffiti artists, too, use the image of hair to reflect individuality and diversity. Through the prism of hair, these artists celebrate the stories and experiences of people from all walks of life. Whether it is the flowing locks that adorn the portraits of iconic figures or the stylized depictions of everyday characters, hair in street art and graffiti becomes a metaphor for expression.

The Aesthetics of Hair in Contemporary Art

Street artists often use the walls of cities as their canvases, drawing from the environment, local culture, and current issues. In many urban settings, hair serves as a representation of cultural identity, socio-economic status, rebellion, or belonging. Graffiti artists often accentuate hairstyles, be it intricate braids representative of African or Afro-Caribbean cultures, or the sharp, angular cuts popular in urban punk scenes. These are not just depictions but are symbols of defiance, pride, or sometimes even resistance against prevailing norms and stereotypes. Beyond cultural identity, the portrayal of hair in street art has also been instrumental in drawing attention to pertinent issues such as racial bias and gender norms. Portraits showcasing the natural beauty of curly or coiled hair challenge prevailing beauty standards and comment on racial prejudices. Similarly, depictions of shaved or androgynous hairstyles might question traditional gender norms and the fluidity of identity. The methods and mediums used in graffiti art further enhance the significance of hair in these pieces. The very nature of spray paint allows for a dynamic range of expression. With swift strokes, an artist can create the illusion of flowing locks or the texture of a curly mane. The juxtaposition of hair, with its organic and fluid form, against the often rigid and gritty urban landscapes, creates a powerful visual statement. This contrast not only captures attention but often invites viewers to consider deeper narratives and stories behind such artworks. To understand the role of hair in pop, street, and graffiti art is to appreciate its transformative power. It's a medium that has allowed artists to delve into themes of identity, culture, rebellion, and society. Whether through the vibrant hues of a Warhol print or the textured strokes of a graffiti portrait, hair stands as a testament to the evolving dialogues and discourses within the world of art. In the context of modern street pop art, hair has been used to challenge gender stereotypes and explore cultural dynamics. Artists may exaggerate hairstyles to emphasize a point or to defy conventional beauty standards. Murals showcasing individuals with unique and bold hairdos are not uncommon and serve to highlight the artist's perspective on individuality and self-expression. The art of depicting hair requires a nuanced understanding of form and flow, making it a technical challenge as well. The texture of hair, the way it frames a face or character, and its movement can bring energy and life to a piece. In the hands of a skilled artist, hair transcends its role as a mere physical feature and becomes a dynamic element of the composition. It is both a visual focus and a thematic linchpin, often influencing the interpretation of the artwork itself.

Street Art, Pop Culture, and the Iconography of Hair

Hair in the context of street pop art also becomes a means of paying homage or critiquing popular culture. Icons of music, film, and fashion are frequently represented, with their distinctive hairstyles acting as shorthand for their identity. The striking afro of a 70s music legend, the slick back hair of a film icon, or the ever-changing colors of a pop star—these depictions utilize hair to encapsulate the essence of the subject. The role of hair in the lexicon of street art and graffiti artwork is emblematic of the timelessness of human adornment and decoration. As a feature that is both personal and public, hair encapsulates the dual nature of street art: an individual statement made in a space that is inherently communal. It is a reflection of both the artist's inner world and the broader cultural dialogue, making it a potent motif for commentary and artistry in the public sphere. Hair serves as a versatile and evocative theme within street pop art and graffiti artwork. It is used by artists to explore themes of identity, society, culture, and aesthetics. The depiction of hair in urban art becomes a form of storytelling, a way to engage with viewers, and an avenue for artists to leave their mark on the canvas of the city. Through the strokes of a paintbrush or the spray of a can, hair is transformed into a statement, a symbol, and a signature within the ever-evolving narrative of street art.
