    Saber Biohazard Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber

    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.

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?

    Saber Coronavirus Quarantine Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber

    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.

  • Union Pacific Chilled Express Street Sign Original Acrylic Painting by Lyric One Union Pacific Chilled Express Street Sign Original Acrylic Painting by Lyric One

    Lyric One Union Pacific Chilled Express Street Sign Original Acrylic Painting by Lyric One

    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.

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Downward Trajectory Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    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.”

  • Limited Quantities Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber

    Saber Limited Quantities Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber

    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.

Industry & Industrial Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

The Industrial Aesthetic in Street Pop Art and Graffiti

The influence of industry and industrial landscapes has long been a rich inspiration in street pop art and graffiti artwork. This genre draws heavily from the visual vocabulary of factories, machinery, and urban development, encapsulating themes from the decay of post-industrial cities to the celebration of human innovation and progress. Artists within this space often utilize the industry's stark, mechanical aesthetics to communicate complex narratives about modern life.

Manifestations of Industrial Imagery in Street Art

In the hands of street artists, industrial motifs are elevated from their utilitarian origins to comment on various issues, including labor, capitalism, and environmental concerns. The factory's connotations of production and economic might become a recurring symbol within this artistic tradition. Murals depicting gears, pipelines, and smokestacks are backdrops to stories about the working-class experience and critiques of consumerist society. The textures and materials of the industrial world also find their way into the physicality of street art. Corrugated metal, concrete, and rusted surfaces become canvases, reflecting the environment in which this art is often found. The wear and tear on these industrial materials speak to a history of use and abandonment, which artists often mirror in their creative process. Through their work, the impermanence of industry and art is laid bare, reminding viewers of the transient nature of human endeavors.

Industrial Influence on Graffiti Artistry

Graffiti artists frequently draw upon the visual language of the industry, employing bold lines and metallic colors that mimic the harsh lighting and chromatic tones of industrial settings. This stylistic choice is not merely aesthetic; it appropriates industrial power, repurposing it to serve personal expression and community identity. The act of tagging, akin to the mass production of factories, becomes a way for artists to assert their presence, to 'manufacture' a personal brand within the urban landscape. Additionally, the industrial theme of graffiti art often carries a socio-political charge. Creating graffiti in abandoned or active industrial areas is a form of reclaiming space, transforming areas that symbolize economic power structures into forums for free expression and dialogue. Artists like Banksy and Shepard Fairey have been at the forefront of this movement, using industrial motifs to challenge authority and provoke reflection on societal issues. Street pop art and graffiti artwork continue to evolve, but industry influence remains a potent source of inspiration. It provides a complex set of symbols through which artists can explore the multifaceted nature of modern life. The industrial aesthetic in this genre is not merely a stylistic choice; it is a narrative tool that speaks to the shared history of urban environments and the collective experiences of those who inhabit them. Through the lens of street art, the industry is not just a backdrop to human activity but a critical player in the story of contemporary culture.
