Coronavirus Quarantine Multi Tagged Original Slap-Up Label Marker Painting/Drawing Art on Warning Label by Tru Graffiti Legend Saber Urban Street Artist. 2020 Signed Marker Original Coronavirus Quarantine Yellow Biohazard Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 7x5 Multi Tagged on High Visibility Virus Covid-19 Warning Label Red, Purple & Silver Marker. Confronting a Global Crisis through Street Pop Art The 'Coronavirus Quarantine' multi-tagged original slap-up label marker painting/drawing by the urban street artist Saber captures the zeitgeist of an era dominated by the pandemic. This 2020 signed marker original is more than a piece of graffiti artwork; it is a historical document that encapsulates a moment when the world grappled with the unprecedented challenge of COVID-19. Saber, known for his influential role in the graffiti art scene, takes a high-visibility yellow biohazard slap-up label, a symbol now ubiquitously associated with the virus, and transforms it into a canvas. The dimensions of the work, 7x5 inches, might seem modest, but the impact of the art could be better. Through his use of vibrant and chaotic tags that overlay the stark warning of 'Coronavirus Quarantine,' Saber disrupts the alarming message of the label, inviting contemplation on the nature of the pandemic that extends beyond fear and caution. The piece is a profound commentary on global affairs during the COVID-19 crisis. The graffiti artist's tags subverted the choice to use a warning label, a helpful object designed to communicate danger and command obedience. The tags, often considered an act of defiance in public spaces, here challenge the narrative of the pandemic by bringing an individualistic and human touch to the impersonal and clinical warning label. Impact of Saber's Art in the Context of Street Pop Art In the context of street pop art, Saber's 'Coronavirus Quarantine' piece stands out as a poignant reflection of the times. Street art has always had the unique ability to engage with its audience directly and urgently. In this instance, the art serves as a visual expression of the collective angst, confusion, and resilience experienced during the quarantine periods. Saber's artwork, juxtaposing the form of formal, almost anarchic graffiti tags, speaks to the unchecked nature of the public's response to the pandemic—order and disorder, compliance and rebellion. 2020 will be remembered for its seismic shifts in global health, economies, and societies. In this climate, street pop art and graffiti artwork like Saber's serve as markers of resistance and reminders of human endurance. The biohazard slap-up label, once a mere functional sign, is recontextualized as a piece of art that provokes, questions, and endures, much like the human spirit during the trials of the pandemic. Saber, the American artist behind this impactful work, has once again demonstrated why he is regarded as a legend in the graffiti world. His ability to take the pulse of society and translate it into art that is both provocative and reflective ensures that his work remains relevant and resonant, not just within the street art community but also among those who encounter his art in the very public spaces that the coronavirus pandemic has so markedly changed.

This Biohazard Neon Orange Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Original Acrylic Paint Art Drawing on Biohazard Label Sticker by Graffiti Artist Modern Street Artwork. 2020 Signed Original Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 6x6 Acrylic Paint Tagged on Medical Biohazard Label Sticker. Neon High Visibility Orange Biohazard Symbol Uline label #S-20794. Exploring the Fusion of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork In the dynamic sphere of contemporary visual culture, street pop art and graffiti artwork stand out as potent forms of expression that encapsulate urban life's rhythm and raw sentiments. Among the luminaries of this genre is the renowned graffiti artist Saber, known for his striking contributions to the street art panorama. The piece under scrutiny is a vibrant example of his ingenuity—a 6x6 acrylic or marker piece tagged on a medical biohazard label sticker featuring a neon high visibility orange biohazard symbol from Uline label #S-20794. Distinctive Aesthetic of Saber's Tag Art Saber's original permanent marker art drawing on a mailing glossy arrow sticker presents a striking visual paradox. The neon orange of the biohazard symbol evokes a sense of caution, typically used to warn of dangerous substances. Contrasted with the blue drips of paint that appear haphazardly splashed across the surface, there is intentional defiance and palpable tension between structure and chaos. This work is a signed 2020 original slap-up graffiti art tag that showcases not just the artist's signature style but also his ability to transform ordinary objects into powerful statements. The choice of a biohazard label as a canvas is a commentary on the infectious nature of art and ideas. Saber effectively takes a symbol that denotes hazard and contamination and recontextualizes it within the aesthetic of street pop art. By doing so, he challenges the viewer to reconsider the connotations of biohazards, not just in the physical sense but in the metaphorical contagion of art in public spaces. Impact and Significance in Modern Street Art Saber is an American artist whose real name has been as influential in the graffiti community as the images he creates on walls and in galleries. His use of a mailing label as a medium is a nod to the guerrilla tactics of early street art culture, where quick, impactful statements were essential, and materials were often repurposed or found objects. This sticker art, often called a 'slap-up,' is a form of street art that is quickly applied, or 'slapped up,' onto a surface in a public space. It allows for transient yet assertive communication, echoing urban life's fast-paced and often impermanent nature. The neon orange and blue artwork transcends its simple components, becoming a canvas for a larger discourse on visibility, legality, and the permanence of art. As a form of street pop art, it retains the accessibility and mass appeal of pop culture while embedding itself in the more subversive and counter-cultural roots of graffiti. This duality is where its power lies; it is both a bold declaration and a subliminal whisper, a fixture on the streets that can be as quickly removed as it is noticed. In the context of graffiti artwork, Saber's biohazard label sticker becomes an artifact of the streets, a testament to the artist's ability to command attention and communicate through symbols and color. With its saturated hues and deliberate drips, the piece resonates with the energy of the streets and the people's voices. It is a piece that marks a physical space and stamps a moment in time, encapsulating the essence of street pop art in its ability to capture the pulse of contemporary urban life. The interplay of color, symbol, and medium in this piece illustrates the innovative potential of street pop art. Saber's work disrupts the monotony of urban environments, offering passersby a moment of aesthetic arrest amidst the concrete canvas of the city. In modern street artwork, such interventions are not just decorative but are vital narratives that articulate the identity and the undercurrents of a city's cultural dialogue. Through works like this, Saber and his contemporaries continue to influence the trajectory of street pop art, ensuring its evolution and relevance. They remind us that the streets remain a powerful platform for artistic expression, where the voices of the marginalized and the spirit of rebellion can find their visual lexicon. Saber's neon orange slap-up label sticker is not just a mark made with acrylic or marker; it is a statement, a challenge, and a vibrant echo of the energy that drives the city's heart.

Factory Stacks- Endless Power 6-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed by Shepard Fairey Numbered 18x24 inches. Screenprint on thick cream Speckletone paper. Numbered edition of 350. "These “Factory Stacks” images combine the austere, angular power of factory architecture with graphic elements commenting on what we promote and embrace as a society even when those things are destructive. The fossil fuel industries have tremendous power economically, but we now know that not only are fossil fuel sources finite but that using them is terrible for climate change and, therefore, the eco-systems that sustain life on our planet. Unfortunately, due to the political power of these industries and public apathy about climate change, the government subsidizes the fossil fuel industries for billions even as they damage the environment. The government works for the citizens, so the choice is ours. Do we support endless power for wealthy fossil fuel corporations? Or policies that put the earth first with the planet before profits? Please read Naomi Klein’s THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING to better understand the conflict between economic interests and climate change. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this print will go to Greenpeace to fight climate change. Thanks for caring.” – Shepard Factory Stacks – Endless Power Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey Factory Stacks – Endless Power is a bold 6-color silkscreen print created in 2022 by Shepard Fairey, one of the most influential figures in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Measuring 18x24 inches, this signed and numbered limited edition of 350 is printed on thick cream Speckletone paper and embodies Fairey’s hallmark aesthetic: a fusion of propaganda-style composition, socio-political messaging, and graphic design precision. It continues his Factory Stacks series, a visual campaign aimed at confronting environmental and systemic imbalances, particularly those surrounding the fossil fuel industry. Visual Language of Industrial Dominance This piece presents twin smokestacks emerging from a factory, exhaling thick plumes of smoke that bend into geometric arcs against a fractured backdrop. The composition is both imposing and elegant, rendered in Fairey’s signature palette of red, blue, cream, and black with accents of gold and grey. A section in the upper corner features graphic symbols such as currency and uniformed authority figures with the text “Endless Power,” visually connecting fossil fuel dependency to state and corporate control. Below, flames lick at the base of the structure, symbolizing destruction masked as progress. The stylized imagery and bold silhouettes evoke retro political posters, transforming the factory into an icon of unchecked industrial ambition. The title “Endless Power” is a biting irony. It speaks to the illusion of limitless energy consumption enabled by fossil fuels while referencing the political power structure that sustains this destructive system. Fairey uses the visual metaphor of pollution and fire not just as environmental warning signs, but as emblems of capitalism's refusal to pivot toward sustainability. Fine Art Printmaking as Street-Level Protest This edition is hand-pulled and silkscreened, showcasing Fairey’s technical prowess in layering crisp lines and vibrant color fields. The physicality of screenprinting—each layer applied with intention—parallels the artist’s belief in direct action. The Speckletone stock used adds texture and weight, reinforcing the piece’s physical presence and link to protest posters of the past. As a printmaker rooted in the street art tradition, Fairey embraces reproducibility without sacrificing uniqueness. His screenprints are both fine art artifacts and tools of mass communication. Factory Stacks – Endless Power does not rely on abstraction. It forces clarity, making its environmental critique visually immediate and emotionally provocative. Political Commentary Through Graffiti-Inspired Aesthetics Fairey’s work consistently straddles the space between fine art and graffiti, and this piece is no exception. By including symbols of nationalism, money, and smoke stacks, he aligns corporate power and environmental degradation in a single visual language. As part of the OBEY Giant campaign's broader ethos, the artwork invites viewers to question the legitimacy of authority, capitalism, and consumption. In the lower left of the piece, Fairey embeds the edition number and his signature, reinforcing its status as a collectible. Yet unlike conventional gallery art, this piece was made to communicate with the public. A portion of the proceeds from this release was donated to Greenpeace, underscoring the artist’s commitment to activism through art. Factory Stacks – Endless Power is not a lament—it is a visual demand. It reminds viewers that power, both political and industrial, is not endless unless people allow it to be. Through the bold format of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Shepard Fairey transforms a grim industrial skyline into a battleground of ideas, urging action before the smoke becomes irreversible.

Thalassa Braddock Pennsylvania 2012 Giclee Print by Swoon- Caledonia Curry Artwork Limited Edition Print on Heavy Fine Art Rag Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 175 Artwork Size 19x13 From The Swoon Street Series Print Collection. Caledonia Curry Street Pop Art: Thalassa Braddock Pennsylvania 2012 Giclee Print by Swoon Thalassa Braddock Pennsylvania 2012 is a powerful giclee print by American artist Caledonia Curry, known professionally as Swoon, who has become one of the most influential voices in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. This piece, photographed from a monumental wheatpaste mural on the side of a deteriorating brick structure in Braddock, Pennsylvania, was published in 2016 as a signed and numbered limited edition of 175. Printed at 19 by 13 inches on heavy fine art rag paper, the work is part of the Swoon Street Series Print Collection, which archives site-specific interventions into collectible format while preserving the physicality and spirit of street installations. Swoon’s Thalassa as a Mythic and Political Presence The figure of Thalassa in this work is emblematic of Swoon’s practice, which often blends mythological allegory with real-world commentary. Depicted with sweeping lines, intricate textures, and a radiant, upward gaze, the character emerges from a fractured surface, embodying a goddess-like form of transformation and strength. Braddock, an industrial town in Pennsylvania with a history of economic hardship, was a location that aligned with Caledonia Curry’s socially motivated projects. Thalassa, in this context, became a symbol of both resurrection and environmental awareness. Originally created as a towering installation at the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Thalassa motif here gains new resonance as it merges with a wall bearing scars of abandonment, decay, and resilience. Braddock and the Social Context of Caledonia Curry’s Artwork Caledonia Curry has long incorporated socially engaged art into her practice, and her relationship with Braddock extended into community work beyond murals. This print documents one of those key visual moments, when art transforms space and injects new meaning into neglected structures. The building’s exposed brick and fading paint contrast with the lush energy of the figure, whose tentacle-like garments spiral downward, fusing classical visual language with the urgency of street culture. The piece also includes red screenprinted motifs filling the window spaces, reinforcing the layered, handmade aesthetic that characterizes Swoon's Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. These environmental and compositional decisions offer a holistic look at the way Curry reinvents urban environments into canvases for visual storytelling. Swoon Street Series Print Collection and the Preservation of Ephemeral Works The 2016 giclee edition of Thalassa Braddock Pennsylvania offers collectors a chance to preserve a fleeting piece of public art history. Part of the Swoon Street Series Print Collection, this print represents a critical era when Curry’s wheatpastes across cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Braddock gained international recognition for their ability to fuse craft, compassion, and political awareness. Printed with exceptional color fidelity and detail, this limited edition honors the original site while expanding access to those who connect with her work beyond the street. Caledonia Curry continues to influence not only the visual vocabulary of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork but also the role of artists in shaping meaningful social discourse.

Break Free 29 Limited Edition Hand-Embellished HPM Archival Pigment Prints on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper by Jessica Hess Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Hand-Embellished Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper Size: 24 x 20 Inches Release: July 26, 2019 “Break Free” is part of a new series of paintings focusing on the strange abstraction of manmade structures through disuse, decay, and demolition in contrast with the beauty of their reclamation by nature. All will return to the Earth one day." - Jessica Hess Jessica Hess’s Break Free 29: The Architecture of Decay and the Language of Graffiti Jessica Hess’s Break Free 29 is a hand-embellished archival pigment print measuring 24 x 20 inches, released in 2019 as part of a series that documents abandoned urban architecture overtaken by graffiti and natural elements. Printed on 290gsm Moab fine art paper, this limited edition exemplifies Hess’s mastery in photorealistic painting and her ability to transform urban ruin into visual poetry. The image captures a collapsed interior space—possibly a warehouse or industrial relic—where nature begins to reclaim its territory, and every visible surface is layered in tags, murals, and weathered pigment. The work is not a simple celebration of street art. It is a nuanced meditation on impermanence, resilience, and transformation. Hess does not stylize or exaggerate the graffiti; she paints it faithfully, respecting it as an honest record of human mark-making. The decaying beams, broken floorboards, and skeletal remains of the roof add to the visual complexity. Everything in the composition is in flux. The structure is failing, yet the surfaces breathe with new life. Green plants push through the cracks. Bright sprays of color resist silence. The collapse is not an end, but an evolution. Photorealism as Preservation of Street Pop Ephemera Jessica Hess’s work functions as a form of visual preservation. By painstakingly recreating graffiti-covered ruins in photorealistic detail, she immortalizes temporary art in the face of time, destruction, and erasure. In Break Free 29, no surface is left untouched—pillars, window frames, pipes, and debris are covered in overlapping layers of aerosol marks, stickers, and paint drips. Each tag is an anonymous voice, part of a larger visual conversation layered over time. Hess does not edit or curate these voices. She captures them in all their raw complexity. The technique of hand-embellishment in each print adds to the authenticity of the piece. It reinforces the physical nature of graffiti itself—built through layers, retouches, and repetition. The painted elements do not merely replicate; they reactivate the image. Hess’s use of high-fidelity realism and handwork bridges the worlds of graffiti and fine art without compromising either. It reflects her deep respect for the spaces and the artists who have left their imprint there. Entropy, Memory, and the Rewilding of Urban Space Break Free 29 contributes to the ongoing dialogue within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork about the meaning of space, decay, and authorship. Hess doesn’t paint the act of graffiti in motion—she paints its aftermath, its documentation. The structure she depicts is no longer defined by its original function. It is a new environment shaped by collapse, intervention, and neglect. The architecture becomes an accidental canvas, and nature slowly encroaches as a silent collaborator. There is no central human figure in the scene, but human presence is everywhere—in the spray lines, in the tags, in the layers of messages written across time. The graffiti doesn’t just decorate the ruins; it gives them meaning in their disuse. Hess’s framing of this space reveals an alternate kind of beauty—one not built on design, but on decomposition and reoccupation. Plants grow through concrete. Sunlight filters through the broken roof. The manmade yields, and the earth begins to rewrite the structure’s story. Through Break Free 29, Jessica Hess presents ruin not as loss but as transformation. It’s a portrait of impermanence painted with care and precision, reminding us that nothing is truly static—not cities, not art, not nature. Everything is in motion, and everything eventually breaks free.

Downward Trajectory Hand-Pulled 4-Color Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 24x24 “Downward Trajectory is one of the many new works featured in my 30th-anniversary show in Los Angeles, “Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent and New Works,” -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey's work is highly political and social, not only because he is incorporating politicians and slogans in it but more importantly because the artist is primarily interested in approaching as many people as possible, exhibiting his work in the covers of the books, which we read, in the music albums, to which we listen, and on the walls of the streets, where we walk. “If I put art in a daring spot, it’s more moving to the viewer and demonstrates my conviction.”, he says. After all, Fairey, in many cases, directly expresses his views on politics and society, whenever he is given the chance. For example, in the aftermath of the “Hope” poster, he commented the following: “Obama has had a really tough time, but there have been a lot of things that he's compromised on that I never would have expected. I mean, drones and domestic spying are the last things I would have thought [he'd support]”. The political aspect of his work can, also, be seen under the spectrum of Fairey’s activism and humanitarian activity. Many of his works have been created as part of activism campaigns or were sold to support causes relevant to the Arts, animal rights, poverty, medical research, the environment, etc. The artist, however, doesn’t identify himself as an activist: “People ask me if I’m an activist, and my answer is no. I’m an artist with a point of view, but I want to do my part to supplement activist causes I believe in. I feel fortunate to connect with people who find my imagery useful and help spread it.”

With a limited edition release of only 75 pieces, each deckled-edge print is directly signed by the artist himself, adding an intimate touch of authenticity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Through "Tropic-Ana," Conlon offers viewers a close-up, almost magnified, perspective of the freight train painting culture, a niche yet deeply expressive sub-domain of street art. Conlon's innovative approach to meshing traditional painterly styles with the raw energy of graffiti art makes "Tropic-Ana" not just a print but a storytelling canvas. This collaboration with BEYOND THE STREETS further cements the artwork's significance, with the print edition bearing the organization's distinct embossing, signaling its approval and association with one of the modern art world's most influential entities. "Tropic-Ana" stands not just as a testament to Conlon's artistic prowess but also as a celebration of the street and pop art movement's evolution and dynamism.

Factory Stacks- Earth First 6-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed by Shepard Fairey Numbered 18x24 inches.

Thanks for caring.” – Shepard Factory Stacks – Earth First Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey Factory Stacks – Earth First is a powerful 6-color hand-pulled silkscreen print created in 2022 by renowned American artist Shepard Fairey. Measuring 18x24 inches and printed on thick cream Speckletone fine art paper, this signed and numbered limited edition of 350 pieces fuses the political energy of graffiti with the precision and control of modern screenprint design. The work is part of Fairey’s continued focus on environmental activism through art and contributes to the broader conversation around the role of industry, power, and public accountability in climate policy. Industrial Might as Graphic Metaphor The print features a factory with twin smokestacks emitting bold trails of smoke against a fragmented and stylized backdrop of red, yellow, and blue—colors associated with urgency, fire, and warning. The building looms large, rendered with clean vector lines and high-contrast forms, while geometric elements and cultural motifs hover in the background, including currency iconography, flames, and architectural symbolism. The stark visual contrast between the rigid industrial structures and the organic chaos of smoke and fire underscores the clash between mechanized progress and ecological fragility. This image serves as a critique of global dependence on fossil fuels and the prioritization of profit over environmental sustainability. Shepard Fairey is known for embedding meaning within tightly structured visuals, and here he uses the monumental scale of the smokestacks as a metaphor for entrenched systems of power. The print’s backdrop includes references to government currency and propaganda textures, further emphasizing the complicity of institutional economics in environmental destruction. Screenprinting as Political Craft Fairey’s technical skill in hand-pulled silkscreening is evident in the crisp linework, bold palette, and balanced layering of texture and flat color. The artwork’s speckletone paper enhances the handmade quality of the piece, giving it the presence of a protest poster while retaining the refinement of collectible street pop art. The 6-color process allows for vibrant layering and nuanced interplay of light and form, with the red and black palette lending a sense of urgency and confrontation. By combining the visual language of commercial design with fine art methods, Fairey continues his legacy of making politically charged works that are accessible, reproducible, and grounded in visual activism. This piece fits into his broader OBEY aesthetic, which draws from punk, graffiti, and socialist propaganda to awaken public dialogue. Art as Environmental Statement Factory Stacks – Earth First is not merely a visual statement; it is a functional activist tool. A portion of the proceeds from this edition was pledged to Greenpeace, supporting global campaigns to combat climate change. Fairey encourages viewers to reflect on systemic inertia, corporate greed, and the governmental failure to transition away from environmentally destructive practices. His recommendation of Naomi Klein’s book “This Changes Everything” provides further intellectual grounding for the print’s message, aligning the work with contemporary thought leaders in environmental justice. This silkscreen print exemplifies the power of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork as both a form of protest and a call to action. By merging aesthetics with advocacy, Shepard Fairey transforms industrial imagery into a demand for ecological responsibility and human accountability.

Union Pacific Chilled Express Original One of a Kind Acrylic Paint Painting Artwork on Studded Distressed Cradled Wood by Popular Street Graffiti Artist Lyric One. 2019 Signed Hand-Painted Ready To Hang Original Acrylic Paint Wood Panel With Realistic Raised Rivets Size: 24 x 36 Inches Release: August 15, 2019 Capturing the Essence of Transient Motion in Street Art The 'Union Pacific Chilled Express' is a striking original acrylic painting by the famous street graffiti artist Lyric One. This 2019 hand-painted piece on a studded distressed cradled wood panel, with realistic raised rivets, measuring 24 x 36 inches, embodies the fusion of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It resonates with the movement and commercial vibrancy that are the lifeblood of the railroads, an homage to the transient nature of both freight and art. Industrial Narratives in Lyric One's Work Lyric One's artistic endeavor into the world of transportation and industry is encapsulated in this significant work. The subject matter – a Union Pacific refrigerator car used for transporting perishable goods across vast distances – is not a common muse for artists. However, Lyric One elevates this everyday industrial object to a piece of art, meticulously capturing the textures and surfaces that tell a story of travel, trade, and the passage of time. The artwork, signed and ready to hang, was released on August 15, 2019. It reflects the artist's deft ability to translate street pop art's ethos onto various canvases. The choice of distressed wood and the attention to detail, such as the raised rivets, are reminiscent of the textures found in urban environments. These rivets add a tactile element to the piece and echo the industrial nature of rail transport – each one could represent the countless connections and junctions found along the rail networks. Symbolism and Aesthetics in Graffiti Artwork In 'Union Pacific Chilled Express,' the contrast between the practical function of the chilled express service and the vibrant expression of graffiti art is striking. The bold, ice-blue lettering against the stark white background captures the viewer's attention, drawing them into a world where the industrial and the artistic collide. Snowflake motifs not only signify the refrigeration aspect but also add an element of fragility, a subtle nod to the impermanence often a theme in street art and the world of commerce. Lyric One's work is a testament to the dynamism of street pop art. With each brush stroke on the cradled wood, the artist brings to life the hum of the railway lines, the chill of the cargo holds, and the omnipresence of industry in our daily lives. The artwork is not just a static piece to be admired; it is an active participant in the dialogue about the role of industry in society and the omnipotent influence of commerce in our visual culture. This piece by Lyric One reminds us that street pop art and graffiti artwork are not confined to walls and alleyways but are dynamic forms that can transform any surface into a narrative. The 'Union Pacific Chilled Express celebrates this versatility and the ability of street artists to capture the essence of motion, industry, and life's transient nature in their work.

Limited Quantities Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Original Spray Paint Art Drawing on Glossy US Flag Sticker by Graffiti Artist Modern Street Artwork. 2020 Signed by Tag Original Slap Up Graffiti Art 10x7 Neon Orange Spray Paint & Acrylic Paint Tagged on Limited Quantities Sticker. Saber's Signature Style and Medium The notion of exclusivity and scarcity often heightens the allure of an artwork, a concept that street pop art and graffiti artwork embody with particular zeal. In the realm of this artistic expression, the 'Limited Quantities' slap-up label sticker original tag art by Saber is a vivid exemplar of such rarity and desirability. This piece is a testament to the graffiti artist's signature style, where the urban landscape becomes a canvas for bold statements and visual disruptions. The artist, Saber, whose real name is respected in the street art community, chooses an everyday object—a glossy US flag sticker—and transforms it into a conduit for artistic expression. Measuring 10x7 inches, the work features neon orange spray paint and acrylic, a combination that Saber employs to create an arresting visual impact. The piece is a 2020 original, signed by the artist's tag, a mark of authenticity in the graffiti world. Saber's work is a dialogue between the artwork and its viewers. It is a conversation sparked by the vibrant hues and the vigorous, almost aggressive application of the tag that slices through the text 'Limited Quantities.' Using a slap-up sticker underscores the guerrilla nature of street art—fast, unexpected, and often fleeting. This mode of art-making aligns with the concept of limited editions; just as the sticker is quickly placed, it can be just as rapidly removed or covered, its existence as fleeting as the quantity it denotes. The Cultural Resonance of Limited Quantities in Modern Street Art In the culture of street pop art and graffiti artwork, the phrase 'Limited Quantities' speaks volumes. It is not just a literal indication of availability but also a symbolic nod to the transient nature of the genre. Street art is often at the mercy of environmental elements, city clean-up crews, or even other artists who may paint over a piece in the ever-evolving urban gallery. Thus, each work's existence is inherently limited, a transient moment of expression captured before it is altered or erased. Saber's piece serves as a literal and figurative marker of the times. In an age where consumerism often leads to mass production and replication, there is a growing appreciation for what is rare and unique. With its exclusive tag and vibrant spray paint on a glossy sticker, this artwork becomes a collectible item, a treasure hunt find for street art lovers and casual observers alike. The neon orange color, often associated with caution and high visibility, plays a dual role in this artwork. It demands attention, ensuring the message and the art cannot be ignored. Simultaneously, it satirizes the concept of caution by implying that the content, the 'Limited Quantities' of authentic street art, should be approached with reverence and awareness. Saber, an American artist, has contributed to the urban art scene and shaped the conversation around the value and significance of street pop art. Much like the 'Limited Quantities' slap-up sticker, his works reflect a societal commentary on the state of art, consumerism, and the politics of space and visibility. They are symbols of resistance, creativity, and the indomitable spirit of the street art movement. Saber's 'Limited Quantities' sticker is more than just a piece of graffiti artwork; it is a statement on street pop art's transient yet impactful nature. It is an emblem of the scarcity that often accompanies true creativity and originality in the bustling marketplace of ideas that is the modern cityscape. With each piece, Saber not only leaves his mark on the physical world but also imprints on the collective consciousness of a culture that continues to seek out the rare, the unique, and the authentic expressions of human experience.
