  • Harriette Giclee Print by Bec Winnel

    Bec Winnel Harriette Giclee Print by Bec Winnel

    Harriette Giclee Print by Bec Winnel Artwork Limited Edition Print on Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2014 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Artwork Size 8x10.25 Female Skull with Blond Hair & Feather. Introducing "Harriette" by Bec Winnel Bec Winnel's "Harriette" is a giclée print that captivates the viewer with its haunting beauty and intricate detail. This 2014 creation is part of a limited edition series of 25, each piece signed and numbered by the artist, with dimensions of 8x10.25 inches. The artwork's subject, a female skull adorned with blonde hair and a feather, is not just an exploration of mortality but a deeper delve into the themes of ephemeral beauty and the intersection of life and death. The Ethereal Aesthetics of Winnel's Portraiture Winnel is renowned for her ability to capture the essence of her subjects with a palpable tenderness. In "Harriette," juxtaposing a lifeless skull with vibrant, lifelike hair and a delicate feather creates a stark, unsettling, and beautiful contrast. This contrast is heightened by the presence of a butterfly—a symbol of transformation and rebirth—hinting at the cycle of life and the inevitability of change. The artwork is a testament to Winnel's mastery of mixed mediums, as she employs pastel, pencil, watercolor, and metallic elements to build up layers of texture and color. This layering technique results in a soft, almost otherworldly visual experience characteristic of her style. The gentle gradations and the meticulous attention to detail in "Harriette" invite the viewer to ponder the transient nature of beauty and the permanence of art. Street Pop Art and Graffiti Influences While Winnel's work traditionally occupies the space of fine art, the limited edition nature of "Harriette" and its striking visual impact resembles the ethos of street pop art and graffiti. Like street artists' fleeting yet powerful statements, "Harriette" commands the viewer's attention; its limited availability adds to its allure and value. The work engages with pop culture's fascination with the macabre and the beautiful, combining them in a way that would not be out of place on the walls of a metropolitan alley or a modern art museum gallery. Winnel's artistry blurs the lines between traditional portraiture and the rebellious spirit of street art, creating pieces that are both accessible and profound. Reflections on Femininity and Mortality "Harriette" reflects Winnel's ongoing exploration of femininity, romanticism, and nature. The skull, void of life yet adorned with symbols of beauty and nature, speaks to the complex relationship between life's fragility and the enduring nature of feminine spirit. Winnel's choice to blend these elements against a dark background further accentuates the subject, emphasizing the recurring theme of emerging and fading in her works. This piece is more than a simple portrait; it is a narrative of life's delicate balance, a commentary on the dichotomy between the temporal and the eternal. Winnel's exploration of aesthetic nostalgia is evident in the work's vintage feel, reminiscent of a time when such representations were common in literature and art, intended to remind of life's impermanence. Bec Winnel's "Harriette" is a compelling piece that encapsulates the artist's signature style while engaging with broader themes prevalent in pop and street art. It is an artwork grounded in the fundamentals of fine art yet speaks a language that resonates with the contemporary viewer, bridging the gap between different art forms and periods. Through "Harriette," Winnel invites us into a contemplative dialogue about beauty, life, and the legacies we leave behind.

    J.A.W. Cooper Rise Archival Print by J.A.W. Cooper

    Rise Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on Museum Natural Fine Art Paper by J.A.W. Cooper Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "Rise was part of a five-piece mini-series about the stages of dealing with pain, within a larger solo show in 2013. This painting was the final stage; the triumphant rise after a crisis. The cicadas are significant, representing rebirth and metamorphosis as some species can stay dormant underground for up to 17 years until conditions are perfect and then emerge together in one epic synchronized event. True healing is not to harden externally, but to remain vulnerable and open while drawing strength from within." - J.A.W. Cooper

  • No Bees No Honey Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY No Bees No Honey Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    No Bees No Honey 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 325 Artwork Size 18x24 Gold Metallic Ink "The Clash are my all-time favorite band and their frontman, Joe Strummer, is a hero of mine for his music, lyrics, wit, compassion for the underdog, and stance against injustice. To celebrate the release of JOE STRUMMER 002 and in honor of Joe’s 70th birthday, a limited edition print inspired by the Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros song, JOHNNY APPLESEED. Joe’s lyric “If you’re after getting the honey, then you don’t go killing all the bees” applies to lots of things, like mistreating factory workers, but for me the idea that bees are pollinators who are crucial to sustaining Earth’s fragile eco-systems is a powerful idea. I hope to honor Joe’s music and extend his ideas with my No Bees No Honey print. A portion of proceeds will go to the Joe Strummer Foundation." -Shepard Fairey The intersection of street art, pop art, and graffiti has often found its voice through artists who transcend the confines of traditional media to bring forth powerful messages. One such eminent figure in this realm is Shepard Fairey, known widely for his iconic designs and thought-provoking artistry. His piece, "No Bees No Honey," is a color hand-pulled limited edition silkscreen print that stands as a testament to Fairey's artistic prowess and his ability to interweave poignant messages with his art. Created on cream speckle tone paper, the print embodies a vibrant play of colors and is accentuated by gold metallic ink that gives it a unique touch. The allure of this piece, however, isn't just its visual appeal but also its rarity. With only 325 signed and numbered pieces available, it stands as a collector's item and a beacon of Fairey's dedication to his craft. Sized at 18x24, the artwork captures attention with its intricate details and the symbolic imagery it presents. What elevates this piece from merely being a work of art to a profound statement is the backstory that inspired it. The artwork draws its essence from the legacy of Joe Strummer, frontman of "The Clash" and a stalwart figure revered by Fairey. Strummer's dedication to justice, his compassion for the marginalized, and his undying spirit resonate deeply with Fairey, making him a consistent source of inspiration. The inception of "No Bees No Honey" can be traced back to a song by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros titled "JOHNNY APPLESEED." A line from this song, "If you’re after getting the honey, then you don’t go killing all the bees," serves as the driving philosophy behind Fairey's artwork. At a glance, this lyric speaks volumes about sustainability and the delicate balance of nature. By delving deeper, one recognizes its applicability to a myriad of societal issues, ranging from the exploitation of factory workers to the broader challenges faced by our ecosystem. The role of bees as indispensable pollinators, ensuring the continuation of life on Earth, is cleverly juxtaposed with Strummer's lyrics, creating an artwork that's as profound in its message as it is stunning in its design. Fairey's commitment to social causes and his admiration for Strummer converge in "No Bees No Honey," but they also manifest in tangible contributions. A part of the proceeds from this artwork is dedicated to the Joe Strummer Foundation, thereby furthering the cause and ensuring that art acts as a vehicle for positive change. In the world of contemporary art, pieces like "No Bees No Honey" remind us of the transformative power of creativity. Shepard Fairey's art is not just an aesthetic pleasure; it's a call to introspection, an invitation to ponder deeper societal issues, and a celebration of the indomitable spirit of figures like Joe Strummer.

  • Neon Pink Black Widow Spider HPM Mixed Media Unique by Saber Neon Pink Black Widow Spider HPM Mixed Media Unique by Saber

    Saber Neon Pink Black Widow Spider HPM Mixed Media Unique by Saber

    Neon Pink Black Widow Spider HPM Mixed Media Unique by Saber Hand-Painted Ink, Colored Pencils, Marker, Highlighter on Fine Art Paper Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art.  2023 Signed & Numbered Mixed Unique Edition Original Series Edition of 25 HPM Hand-Drawn Pen Ink, Highlighter Marker, Marker, and Colored Pencils Artwork Size 3.5x3 Mini Drawing of the Pink Spiders & Black Widow Spider. Includes Hand Painted & Tagged Cardboard. Intersecting Nature and Urban Expression in Saber's Art The 'Neon Pink Black Widow Spider HPM Mixed Media Unique' series is a stunning representation of street pop art's versatility and depth, created by the renowned graffiti artist Saber. This 2023 collection, a numbered series of 25 unique hand-painted multiples (HPM), features miniature 3.5x3 inch drawings of black widow spiders rendered in a striking neon pink. These pieces are accompanied by hand-painted and tagged cardboard, combining natural motifs and urban art sensibilities. Saber's Mixed Media Mastery Saber, an artist whose works are embedded in the DNA of modern street art, utilizes a diverse range of materials such as pen ink, highlighter, marker, and colored pencils to bring these arachnids to life. The neon pink is arresting and symbolic, challenging the viewer's perceptions of danger and attraction. In the natural world, bright colors often serve as a warning, and in the urban landscape, they demand attention – a parallel that Saber skillfully draws upon in his artwork. The inclusion of hand-painted cardboard adds an element of raw authenticity to the series. Cardboard, a ubiquitous and often discarded material, is transformed into a valuable part of the art, questioning the hierarchy of materials and the value assigned to different mediums. This approach is emblematic of street pop art's capacity to elevate the mundane and to find beauty in the overlooked. Themes of Survival and Beauty Black widow spiders are creatures that evoke a mixture of fear and fascination. Saber taps into this duality, using the spiders as a metaphor for resilience and the delicate balance between beauty and danger. This narrative is particularly resonant within the context of street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the act of creation itself is often a form of survival and defiance. The spiders, set against Saber's signature tags backdrop, embody the tension inherent in street art – the push and pull between legality and expression, between the individual artist and the broader community. Through his neon pink black widows, Saber invites a dialogue about the interplay between instincts and urban environments and the instinctual drive to leave a mark through silk webs or spray paint.

Insects & Bugs Graffiti Street Pop Artwork
Insects and bugs have crawled and fluttered their way into the domain of pop art, street art, and graffiti artwork, offering a rich tapestry for artists to explore themes of nature, metamorphosis, and the environment. Their intricate forms and diverse symbolism have made them a popular motif for artists who wish to inject a natural element into urban landscapes.

Insects in the World of Street Pop Art and Graffiti

In the concrete jungles of urban centers, street pop art and graffiti often serve as visual escapes from the mundane. Artists have turned to the delicate intricacies of insect and bug life as a source of inspiration, drawing on their diverse shapes, colors, and patterns. These tiny creatures are magnified into large-scale murals, detailed stencils, and elaborate tags that demand attention and provoke curiosity in this artistic context. The portrayal of insects in street art spans a broad spectrum—from realistic depictions celebrating the beauty of biodiversity to stylized versions incorporating surrealism and fantasy elements. Bugs like butterflies, bees, and beetles are favored for their symbolic associations with transformation, community, and resilience. These insects are often depicted amidst urban decay or environmental desolation as reminders of life's persistent pulse in even the most inhospitable environments.

Symbolism and Commentary through Insects

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, insects in pop and street art often carry more profound meanings. Butterflies, for example, have been used to symbolize change and rebirth, while bees can represent the fragility of ecosystems and the importance of collective labor. Street artists may utilize these insects to comment on political and social issues, from environmental activism to discussions about identity and growth. In some street art pieces, insects are anthropomorphized, given human characteristics, or placed in scenarios that reflect human society. This artistic choice can blur the lines between the natural world and human experience, inviting viewers to reflect on their place in the broader ecosystem. Insects become avatars through which complex narratives about coexistence, adaptation, and survival are conveyed.

Techniques and Styles in Insect-Themed Art

The depiction of insects in street pop art and graffiti artwork involves various techniques that showcase the artists' versatility. Spray paint, a staple of graffiti art, allows for swift coverage and the creation of gradients and shadows that give life to the wings of a dragonfly or the carapace of a beetle. Stencils enable the precise reproduction of complex insect forms, making them popular for artists who wish to create a series of thematic pieces across different locations. In pop art, the bright colors and bold lines are perfect for stylizing insect forms, turning them into iconic images that can be reproduced across various mediums. Whether through prints, murals, or installations, incorporating insect imagery into pop art is a nod to the movement’s roots in challenging the status quo and elevating mundane or overlooked aspects of life into the realm of high art. The world of insects and bugs offers boundless inspiration for artists within the street pop art and graffiti sectors. These creatures act as muses for works that are visually striking and rich with meaning, reflecting the complexities of nature and human society. Their presence in art serves as a bridge between the organic and the urban, the minute and the monumental, ensuring that insects and bugs will continue to be a beloved subject in the ever-evolving narrative of contemporary art.
