Florence Aubenas Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat, Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat Florence Aubenas Silkscreen Print 2008 The 2008 Florence Aubenas silkscreen print represents a rare collaboration between American street artist Shepard Fairey, known as OBEY, and French stencil pioneer Blek le Rat. Measuring 18 x 24 inches, this hand-pulled silkscreen was produced in a signed and numbered limited edition of only 100. Each print bears the signatures of both artists, cementing its importance as a cross-generational dialogue within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The subject, French journalist Florence Aubenas, was abducted and held hostage in Iraq in 2005, making the work a powerful symbol of resilience and the role of art in amplifying human rights issues. Imagery and Symbolism The print merges Shepard Fairey’s graphic, politically charged style with Blek le Rat’s classic stencil approach. Set against the backdrop of Place Saint-Michel in Paris, the work integrates photography and stencil to create a layered street-inspired composition. Aubenas is portrayed standing calmly, her figure rendered in stark black stencil against the stone wall, evoking Blek le Rat’s street interventions. This contrasts with the detailed urban surroundings captured in Fairey’s silkscreen process, creating a tension between the permanence of historical architecture and the urgency of contemporary political struggle. The placement of the figure beneath the street sign grounds the work firmly in Paris, while also symbolizing the global reach of her story. Collaboration Between Icons Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is regarded as one of the founders of stencil graffiti, influencing generations of street artists worldwide, including Banksy. Shepard Fairey, born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1970, rose to prominence through his OBEY campaign and politically charged works such as the Hope poster of Barack Obama. Their collaboration on Florence Aubenas brought together two distinct but complementary approaches: Blek’s commitment to the power of direct stencil imagery in public space and Fairey’s graphic design-driven activism. The result is a work that resonates both as a political statement and as a landmark in the history of street art. Political Resonance and Artistic Legacy This silkscreen print underscores how art can become a tool of awareness and advocacy. By immortalizing Florence Aubenas in their visual language, Fairey and Blek le Rat highlight the risks faced by journalists working in conflict zones and the importance of freedom of expression. With its limited edition size, dual signatures, and thematic depth, the Florence Aubenas print is considered a significant collector’s piece, not only for fans of Shepard Fairey and Blek le Rat but also for those who recognize the importance of socially engaged art. It remains a striking example of how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can transcend aesthetics to confront urgent political realities.

Florence Aubenas AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat & Marked AP, Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat Florence Aubenas AP Silkscreen Print 2008 The Florence Aubenas AP Artist Proof silkscreen print from 2008 is a powerful collaborative work by Shepard Fairey, known globally as OBEY, and French stencil art pioneer Blek le Rat. Measuring 18 x 24 inches, this hand-pulled silkscreen on fine art paper exists in an extremely rare Artist Proof edition, each marked “AP” and signed by both artists. Beyond its rarity, the subject matter and dual authorship make it one of the most politically and historically significant works within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Subject and Symbolism The work features a portrait of Florence Aubenas, the French journalist abducted in Iraq in 2005 and later released after months in captivity. She is depicted standing calmly against the wall of Place Saint-Michel in Paris, her figure stenciled in stark black and white, contrasting with the detailed urban setting. This juxtaposition symbolizes both her resilience and the precarious realities faced by journalists in war zones. By situating her image in a familiar Parisian context, the print speaks to both the local and international dimensions of her story, grounding a global political issue in a recognizable urban landscape. Collaboration Between Generations Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is widely acknowledged as one of the founders of stencil graffiti, with a career that began in the streets of Paris in the early 1980s. Shepard Fairey, born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, rose to prominence through his OBEY campaign and later works addressing political and social justice issues. Their joint creation of Florence Aubenas bridges the gap between the origins of stencil graffiti in Europe and the evolution of politically driven street art in the United States. The collaboration highlights a shared commitment to using art as a form of activism and public awareness. Artist Proof Rarity and Legacy Artist Proofs, typically reserved for artists and collaborators outside of the standard numbered edition, carry heightened value due to their scarcity and direct connection to the creators. With dual signatures and the AP designation, this edition of Florence Aubenas stands apart as a rare collector’s item. More than a collectible, however, the print underscores how street art can amplify pressing social issues, using public imagery and fine art techniques to spark dialogue. The Florence Aubenas AP silkscreen remains a landmark example of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork where artistic expression, political urgency, and historical moment converge.

Untitled Pointman & Vick Silkscreen Print by Verdy x Futura 2000- Leonard McGurr Hand-Pulled on Deckled Mohawk Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2025 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 40 Artwork Size 18x24  Silkscreen Print Stylized Vick Panda Rabbit holding a Pointman Sci Fi Creature in Red, Black & White. Verdy x Futura 2000: A Dynamic Dialogue in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The 2025 limited edition silkscreen print titled Untitled Pointman & Vick is a highly collectible collaboration between two titans of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork—Verdy and Leonard McGurr, also known as Futura 2000. This hand-pulled 18x24 inch artwork, limited to only 40 signed and numbered editions, brings together two iconic characters born from very different visual traditions: Verdy’s Vick, a panda-rabbit hybrid pulsing with urban cuteness and punk energy, and Futura’s Pointman, an angular, sci-fi inspired alien form that has long represented the artist’s abstract evolution of graffiti since the 1980s. The synergy of these two figures positioned together on a stark white canvas creates a striking and unmistakable visual statement. Character Fusion: From Tokyo Subculture to NYC Futurism Verdy’s Vick, a staple of Japanese youth culture and streetwear, is rendered with bold lines, minimalism, and emotional defiance. Often seen in his works tied to Girls Don’t Cry and Wasted Youth, the Vick figure represents innocence crossed with resistance, captured here with expressive posture and his recognizable spiked hair and long ears. In this piece, Vick stands confidently while clutching Futura’s Pointman—a creature that has become emblematic of space-age graffiti abstraction. The Pointman figure, often portrayed as detached and observing, now appears anthropomorphized yet held in a position of connection, suggesting creative control, reverence, or even confrontation. Leonard McGurr, born in the United States, redefined graffiti art with his experimental use of shapes, negative space, and conceptual narrative. His Pointman character broke away from traditional lettering and tags, opting instead for a visual language that combined comic book energy, cosmic theory, and social metaphor. This character now enters Verdy’s minimalist playground, blurring lines between eras and aesthetics. Minimalist Form with Maximum Impact Printed in red, black, and white, the silkscreen’s visual economy amplifies the tension and harmony between the two characters. The limited palette makes the composition pop with clarity, a visual nod to both vintage animation and punk zine graphics. Each line is deliberate. Each shape speaks volumes. The exaggerated proportions and surreal character styling are a testament to both artists’ skill in balancing humor, symbolism, and subculture in visual form. The work functions as a mirror of mutual respect between two worlds—Verdy’s Japanese design-driven storytelling and Futura’s American avant-garde rebellion. A Collectible Print for the Global Art Vanguard As a signed and numbered edition of just 40, this 18x24 inch silkscreen print is a rare artifact that ties two global artistic forces into a single unified piece. It represents more than just collaboration—it embodies cross-generational momentum in street pop and graffiti art. Fans and collectors of either artist will immediately recognize the cultural and historical significance embedded in the composition. Verdy and Futura 2000 have together constructed a moment that celebrates character-based iconography as legitimate, emotional, and deeply impactful contemporary art. This print is not just a visual work—it is a document of two worlds shaking hands through their art.

Signed and numbered in a rare edition of only 10, this piece offers collectors an exclusive glimpse into the evolving world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where vibrant hues and playful motifs define the visual landscape. Set against a bright pink background, the print features multiple iterations of Mister Melty, each identical yet full of expressive detail. The grid-like arrangement recalls the systematic repetition often seen in pop art, yet Buff Monster’s signature drips, splatters, and painterly textures disrupt the uniformity, infusing the work with a raw, urban energy. The layering of splashes and soft stencil-like marks in the backdrop reinforces the street-inspired aesthetic, adding depth and movement to the print. This artwork not only highlights Buff Monster’s ability to create playful, eye-catching visuals but also serves as a commentary on the mass production of icons within contemporary culture. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Influences Buff Monster’s work sits at the intersection of pop culture, street art, and graffiti, and Mister Melty Grid Silkscreen Print encapsulates these influences seamlessly. The repetition of a single image in a structured pattern recalls the techniques of iconic pop artists, while the raw textures and drippy details speak to the immediacy of graffiti. The background, featuring a mix of airbrushed effects and street-style markings, evokes the visual language of murals and urban walls, where layers of paint and tags overlap to create unexpected compositions. The signature Mister Melty figure—a hybrid of a melting ice cream scoop and a classic cartoon monster—embodies Buff Monster’s playful yet rebellious approach to character design. The character’s one large, expressive eye draws attention, making direct contact with the viewer, while the melting features reinforce the theme of impermanence and transformation. This artwork captures the essence of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork by combining structured repetition with the spontaneity of urban textures, ensuring that each piece in the edition remains unique despite its uniform grid pattern. Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Process and Collectible Appeal As with all of Buff Monster’s prints, Mister Melty Grid Silkscreen Print is created using a meticulous hand-pulled silkscreen process. The layering of inks, splatter effects, and high-saturation colors requires expert craftsmanship to achieve the vibrant, tactile quality that defines his work. Unlike mass-produced digital prints, the screenprinting method ensures that each individual piece has subtle variations, enhancing its authenticity as a piece of fine art. The signed and numbered edition of only 10 makes this print an incredibly rare collector’s item. Buff Monster’s dedication to limited-run editions adds to the desirability of his prints, with each release offering fans and collectors a chance to own a unique iteration of his work. The meticulous layering of bright, high-contrast inks over the textured pink backdrop gives the artwork a depth that is best appreciated in person, reinforcing the value of handmade, screenprinted editions in an increasingly digital art market. An Energetic Celebration of Repetition and Chaos Mister Melty Grid Silkscreen Print demonstrates how Buff Monster takes a simple character and transforms it into a compelling visual statement through repetition and variation. The orderly grid, combined with the freeform splashes of paint and texture, creates a dynamic interplay between structure and spontaneity. This print serves as a testament to Buff Monster’s ability to blend playful, cartoon-inspired imagery with the aesthetic grit of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The balance between uniformity and artistic chaos makes this print a standout within Buff Monster’s catalog. Each Mister Melty figure feels like a stamped icon, reinforcing the idea of art as a mass-produced commodity while simultaneously celebrating its individuality through the imperfections and human touch of the silkscreen process. With its electric pink backdrop and meticulously arranged characters, this print encapsulates the energy of street art, the nostalgia of pop culture, and the irreverent joy of Buff Monster’s signature world of melting misfits.

AP Artist Proof 2006 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Obey Giant Star Andre The Giant Logo on Wreath Like Badge With Obey & Dollar Sign. Shepard Fairey, renowned for his unique blend of pop, street, and graffiti art, introduced the "Supply and Demand Red AP" in 2004, marking another powerful testament to his iconic artistic endeavors. This piece showcases a meticulous hand-pulled screen print on fine art paper, demonstrating Fairey's commitment to craft and detail.

This silkscreen print is embossed with the coveted AP mark, signifying its rarity and distinction from the general run. Deeply embedded within this artwork is Fairey's emblematic Obey Giant Star, a symbol that traces back to his earliest days in the art scene. The emblem, inspired by the visage of Andre the Giant, has, over time, become a potent image in contemporary art. Set against the backdrop of a wreath-like badge, this motif gains prominence. The art is interspersed with other powerful symbols - the commanding word "Obey" and the omnipresent dollar sign.

David with Machine Gun Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat, Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat David with Machine Gun Silkscreen Print 2008 The 2008 David with Machine Gun silkscreen print is a collaborative edition created by Shepard Fairey, known as OBEY, and French stencil art pioneer Blek le Rat. Hand-pulled on fine art paper and produced in a signed and numbered edition of 100, this 18 x 24 inch print merges the strengths of two iconic street artists across generations. Both signatures on each print elevate it to an important collector’s piece within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, highlighting not only a striking image but also the historical significance of the collaboration itself. Imagery and Commentary The print features a reinterpretation of Michelangelo’s classical sculpture David, here transformed into a provocative figure holding a machine gun. The juxtaposition of the Renaissance ideal of human beauty and form with the stark brutality of a modern weapon serves as a sharp critique of war, violence, and the distortion of cultural ideals. By placing David in a gritty, graffiti-covered urban environment, the work questions how art and society repurpose historic symbols to address contemporary anxieties. This powerful reimagining reflects both Blek le Rat’s tradition of stencil interventions in public spaces and Shepard Fairey’s skill at repurposing cultural icons into tools for social commentary. Collaborative Significance Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is celebrated as one of the earliest and most influential stencil graffiti artists. Shepard Fairey, born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1970, became internationally known for his OBEY campaign and his later political works, including the Barack Obama Hope poster. Together, they bridge the early roots of European stencil art with the graphic and politically driven evolution of American street pop art. Their joint works, such as David with Machine Gun, serve as cultural dialogues between two eras, reinforcing the continuity of street art as a platform for protest and public discourse. Political Resonance and Collector Value David with Machine Gun functions as a visual protest, reworking an image of purity, youth, and beauty into a statement about the corruption of ideals through militarization and violence. The collaboration underscores both artists’ shared commitment to making politically engaged art accessible to broad audiences. With its limited edition of only 100, dual signatures, and thematic strength, the print has become a significant and sought-after work for collectors. It captures the way Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can take familiar imagery and transform it into a searing critique of the modern world, cementing its role as both cultural artifact and fine art object.

Stand Alone Original Mixed Media Painting Graffiti Artist Modern Pop Art on Real Metal Street Sign by Chris RWK. 2022 Signed Original Mixed Media Acrylic & Spray Paint on Real 18x18 School Zone Street Sign. Chris RWK's Stand Alone: A New Dimension of Street Sign Art In the vibrant landscape of modern pop art and graffiti artwork, Chris RWK (real name Chris Roberts), an artist from New York, presents a compelling twist on the genre with his creation "Stand Alone." This piece, a signed original mixed media painting completed in 2022, defies conventional street art norms by utilizing an actual 18x18 school zone street sign as its canvas. The artwork's foundation in the natural and practical – a metal sign designed to impart rules – becomes a statement of artistic rebellion and creative liberation. The Fusion of Mediums in Chris RWK's Work "Stand Alone" is an innovative meld of acrylic and spray paint, mediums that have long been staples in the street artist's toolkit. By applying them to a metal street sign, Chris RWK bridges the gap between the everyday street objects we often overlook and the expressive potential they hold. His robot-like character, a recurring motif in his work, is depicted with a simplicity that speaks to childhood innocence, juxtaposed against the backdrop of an adult world filled with regulations and restrictions. The duality of this piece – the playful imagery against the stern, directive nature of a street sign – invites contemplation on the push and pull between the structured world we navigate and the imaginative freedom we often yearn for. This tension is at the heart of street pop art, where the mundane is transformed into the extraordinary. Embracing the Ordinary: The Iconography of Chris RWK In "Stand Alone," the ordinary is embraced and celebrated. Chris RWK elevates an ordinary street sign to a piece of art that can communicate complex emotions and ideas. The robot figure, often interpreted as a stand-in for the human experience, is portrayed alongside a heart symbol – a universal expression of love and connection. This simple yet profound imagery speaks to the artist's ability to find depth in simplicity, a hallmark of his broader body of work. The use of real-world objects in art is not new, but Chris RWK recontextualizes this approach within the framework of street pop art, inviting the viewer to see the potential for art in all things. Once a directive object, the street sign becomes a canvas for reflection, a medium through which the artist can connect with the audience on a personal level. Chris RWK's "Stand Alone" is a standout piece within the domain of graffiti artwork and modern pop art. It captures the essence of street art's transformative power, turning a mundane object into a source of artistic expression and commentary. As viewers encounter this piece, they are reminded that art is not confined to galleries or murals on building walls – it can emerge from the most unexpected places, offering new perspectives on the familiar fixtures of our everyday lives.

Get A Job HPM Silkscreen Stencil on Wood by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Painted Multiple Panel Ready to Hang Street Artist Modern Graffiti Pop Art. 2012 Signed & Numbered Edition of 6 HPM Silkscreen Stencil Print Artwork Size 18x24 on Wood Panel. Framed without glass. Framed Dimensions 25 X 19 Inches. Shepard Fairey Get A Job HPM Silkscreen Stencil on Wood 2012 The 2012 Get A Job hand-painted multiple by Shepard Fairey, the American artist behind the OBEY name, is a striking fusion of silkscreen stencil work and hand-applied detailing on a wood panel. Measuring 18 x 24 inches, this piece forms part of an extremely limited edition of only six, each signed and numbered by the artist. Known for his politically charged, socially conscious imagery, Fairey uses the visual language of propaganda posters to deliver a biting commentary on labor, authority, and societal expectations, here reframed through the lens of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Propaganda-Inspired Composition The central figure in the artwork points directly outward, recalling iconic recruitment poster imagery, but the directive here is satirically altered to read “I Want You to Get a Job.” This layered messaging both mimics and critiques the authoritative tone of historic propaganda, drawing attention to the commodification of work and the pressures of productivity. The composition is infused with radiating golden rays against a dominant red background, with two strong, uniformed workers flanking the scene, reinforcing the militaristic aesthetic while heightening the visual impact. Technique and Materiality This work is not a standard print but a hand-painted multiple, meaning each panel is individually worked on by the artist, resulting in subtle variations across the edition. The use of wood as a base surface adds warmth, texture, and durability, contrasting with the crispness of the silkscreen stencil application. Fairey’s layering of paint and stencil work produces depth and complexity, with areas of intentional distress and imperfection that enhance the street-art authenticity. The absence of glass in the framing invites closer inspection of the texture and the tactile qualities of the wood grain beneath the paint. Shepard Fairey’s Cultural Commentary Born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, Shepard Fairey emerged from the skateboarding scene with his OBEY sticker campaign before becoming a central figure in contemporary political street art. His works frequently challenge power structures, media influence, and consumer culture. In Get A Job, Fairey uses the aesthetics of socialist realism and wartime propaganda to deliver a layered critique of modern labor dynamics, while maintaining the bold graphic style that has made his work internationally recognizable. With its combination of rare edition size, mixed media execution, and socially pointed message, this piece is a powerful example of Fairey’s ability to merge visual seduction with political provocation in the sphere of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

Created in 2023, this signed original mixed media spray paint and acrylic painting is a ready-to-hang piece that measures 18x12 inches, embodying the ethos of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. Chris RWK's work is renowned for its ability to communicate complex emotions and societal narratives through street signs' deceptively simple visual language. By reclaiming and repurposing a metal city sign, he not only recycles the physical material but also reclaims the cultural and communicative space these signs occupy. The robot character, a recurring motif in Chris RWK's work, is depicted holding hearts—a sharp contrast to street signage's typically authoritative and impersonal nature. Cultural Commentary on Street Pop Art The piece is a cultural commentary, leveraging the ubiquitous nature of street signs to challenge viewers to reconsider their significance and meaning. By integrating heartfelt imagery on a sign that typically denotes restriction, Chris RWK flips the script, offering a narrative of movement and emotion where one would not expect it. This act of artistic rebellion is characteristic of the graffiti movement, which often seeks to interrupt the urban landscape with unexpected messages and visuals. Chris RWK's "Keep Moving" technique showcases the artist's skill with spray paint and acrylic, using these mediums to add depth and texture to the work. The choice of a metal sign as the substrate adds an industrial edge to the painting, grounding it firmly in the street art tradition and elevating it into a piece of pop art that can be appreciated in various settings. Impact and Significance in the Art World The significance of "Keep Moving" within the art world is multifaceted. It is a piece that blurs the boundaries between high art and street art, between vandalism and sanctioned creative expression. Chris RWK's work is part of a broader movement that sees street artists gaining recognition within the fine art world, with their works increasingly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. "Keep Moving" is a striking piece of art and a reminder of the enduring influence of street art and its capacity to challenge and redefine the spaces it occupies. Chris RWK, through his work with Robots Will Kill, continues to push the envelope, creating pieces that are at once accessible and profound, simple in their execution but complex in their implications. This painting is a vibrant example of the power of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork to captivate and engage audiences, encouraging them to see the urban environment through a new lens.

Consistency- 5 Original Painting Spray Paint, Acrylic, Mixed Media on Cradled Wood Panel by Cope2 Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. In recent years Cope2 has been commissioned by Time Magazine, Converse, Adidas among others. His work has even crossed into the virtual realm with appearances in video games such as Mark Eckos: Getting up and Rockstar Games: Grand Theft Auto IV. During the mid-1990s Cope2 started slowly transitioning from the streets to the art scene of the galleries. At that time, street art was not as popular as it is in our days and the general public’s idea of it was still inextricably connected to ghettos, drug dealing, etc. The artist has never hidden his troubling past and avoids idealizing it, as a way to enhance his career and artistic persona. On the contrary, he mentions the following: “Oh man, there’s nothing to be proud of in hustling, but I had my first child at the age of 16, my son.

His work 'Run Away' is a notable entry in his oeuvre, a hand-pulled 10-color silkscreen print on the revered Lambeth Drawing Cartridge paper. This 2020 signed and numbered limited edition piece exemplifies the artist's commitment to blending street art's insurgent energy with traditional printmaking's craftsmanship. Technical Brilliance and Thematic Depth in 'Run Away' At 39-1/2 x 27-1/4 inches, 'Run Away' is grand in scale and intricate in detail. The piece captures a moment of passionate embrace, yet the figures are depicted with elements of dissolution, perhaps suggesting the fleeting nature of love or the ephemeral quality of relationships. The artwork's narrative is enhanced by its visual complexity—the use of a 10-color palette allows for a vibrant depth of image. The choice of Lambeth Drawing Cartridge paper is crucial to the print's allure. Known for its heavy weight and superior quality, the paper is an excellent foundation for silkscreen. It allows for a crisp transfer of ink and a vibrancy of color that lesser papers could not hold. The Lambeth paper complements D*Face's bold lines and sharp contrasts, ensuring that each print from the limited edition of 150 retains the clarity and impact of the original design. D*Face's Place in the Pantheon of Pop Art DFace's 'Run Away' reflects the artist's position in the pop art landscape. Born in 1978, DFace has witnessed the evolution of street art from a subculture to a globally recognized form of artistic expression. His work often contains commentary on consumerism, fame, and the mechanics of the art world, all deftly woven into 'Run Away.' The artist's signature style blends comic book-inspired aesthetics with a critical lens on modern society, giving him acclaim and space in galleries worldwide. 'Run Away,' published by Stolen Space Gallery in London, is a piece that encapsulates D*Face's mastery over his medium and message. It is a work that invites contemplation on the nature of modern romance, the icons of pop culture, and the art of silkscreen printing. The Lasting Impact of 'Run Away' in Modern Art DFace's 'Run Away' holds a distinguished place in modern art, bridging the gap between the raw expressiveness of street art and the precision of fine art printmaking. The artwork, framed within a large custom frame and mat, is designed to make a statement, whether displayed in a gallery or a private collection. The use of Lambeth Drawing Cartridge paper is a testament to DFace's respect for quality and tradition, even as he pushes the boundaries of art with his innovative and provocative style. The piece is not merely a visual treat; it is a cultural artifact that encapsulates the spirit of the times. With 'Run Away,' D*Face contributes to the ongoing conversation about the place and value of street pop art within the larger artistic narrative. His work, particularly this standout print, will continue to be studied and appreciated by those who seek to understand the complex interplay between art and society in the 21st century.

David with Machine Gun AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat & Marked AP, Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat David with Machine Gun AP Silkscreen Print 2008 The David with Machine Gun AP Artist Proof silkscreen print from 2008 is a rare collaborative work created by Shepard Fairey, widely known as OBEY, and stencil art pioneer Blek le Rat. Hand-pulled on fine art paper and measuring 18 x 24 inches, this Artist Proof edition is signed by both artists and marked “AP,” distinguishing it from the standard numbered release of 100. Artist Proofs carry additional significance within the art world due to their limited availability and direct association with the artists’ approval process, making this piece especially sought after by collectors of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Imagery and Symbolic Tension This print features Michelangelo’s classical David, a symbol of Renaissance ideals of beauty, youth, and heroism, reimagined with a modern twist: he holds a machine gun. The stark juxtaposition between timeless humanist ideals and contemporary instruments of war creates a powerful critique of violence and the ways cultural icons are repurposed to reflect current anxieties. Set against a graffiti-covered urban backdrop, the figure embodies the collision between high art traditions and street-level social commentary. The work challenges viewers to consider how ideals of strength and beauty are corrupted when reframed within the context of militarization. Collaboration Across Generations Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is often credited as the father of stencil graffiti, influencing countless artists with his Paris-based interventions since the 1980s. Shepard Fairey, born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, rose to prominence through his OBEY campaign and politically resonant prints, later achieving international acclaim with his Hope poster of Barack Obama. Their joint creation of David with Machine Gun demonstrates how two generations of artists from different cultural backgrounds can merge their practices to create a unified message. It serves as both homage to classical art and a critique of the modern world. Rarity and Collectible Importance Artist Proof editions such as this one are rarer than the main run, typically reserved for the artists themselves or for key collaborators. Marked “AP” and carrying the signatures of both Fairey and Blek le Rat, this print embodies both historical and artistic value. Beyond its scarcity, the work is a striking representation of how street artists reinterpret cultural symbols to confront pressing issues like war and societal decay. The David with Machine Gun AP silkscreen stands as a prime example of the fusion of fine art history and modern protest through the visual language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

We Belong Together Silkscreen Print by Faile Hand-Pulled 4-Color on Lenox 100 Fine Art PaperLimited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2024 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 47 Artwork Size 18x24 Acrylic & Silkscreen Print A Vibrant Depiction of Devotion We Belong Together Silkscreen Print by Faile radiates with expressive color and striking contrasts that immediately draw the eye. Created in 2024 as a signed and numbered limited edition of 47, this 18x24 artwork exemplifies Faile’s talent for fusing romantic and playful elements with bold compositional techniques. The piece features acrylic applications on top of a four-color silkscreen process, all on Lenox 100 Fine Art Paper. This layering approach results in a mesmerizing collage of imagery, where vintage references are reimagined through a distinctly modern lens. Viewers encounter a central figure pair—a woman embracing a skeleton—while swirling patterns, ornamental motifs, and vibrant text occupy the surrounding space. These juxtapositions highlight a compelling tension between life, love, and the forces that bind people together. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Inspiration Faile, an American artistic partnership, is well known for incorporating references from Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork into their prints, paintings, and installations. Influences from comic strips, retro advertisements, and urban culture often intermingle with classical romance or religious iconography. This can be seen in the swirling lines and bright color fields of We Belong Together, echoing street art’s penchant for high-impact visuals and easily recognizable shapes. The design exemplifies how these urban influences harmonize with more traditional aesthetic elements. While the swirling hair and swirling filigree patterns recall vintage romance covers, the bold black outlines and limited color palette reflect street-inspired aesthetics that are both raw and immediate. The result is a piece that suits the gallery environment while paying homage to the grassroots roots of street-based creativity. Dynamic Symbolism and Evocative Imagery The composition of We Belong Together focuses on a deeply emotional moment: a pink-haired figure cradles a skeletal partner in a tender pose. This portrait evokes notions of everlasting commitment, hinting at love transcending physical boundaries. The skeleton’s half-smile and the woman’s embrace invite viewers to question how themes like mortality can be intertwined with devotion. Faile leverages these symbols to create a narrative that stretches beyond the immediate visual impact. Elements such as the fiery reds in the background suggest fervent passion, while delicate details—like the number tattooed on the woman’s shoulder—add subtle references that spark the imagination. The carefully layered acrylic paint accentuates textures and shadows, creating a sense of depth that heightens the dreamlike quality of the artwork. Collectible Appeal and Enduring Charm Collectors drawn to pop-inspired aesthetics and bold executions consider this silkscreen print a quintessential Faile piece. The fact that only 47 editions exist highlights its exclusivity and provides an extra layer of desirability for enthusiasts seeking something truly distinctive. Each version is carefully hand-pulled, ensuring that slight variations make every print unique. The 18x24 scale offers a large enough canvas to showcase the array of details, yet remains manageable for display in personal collections. Faile’s ability to unite high-impact visuals with nuanced commentary on love, life, and mortality positions We Belong Together as an artwork that resonates on multiple levels. Its combination of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork influences, acrylic adornments, and expressive silkscreen printing confirms Faile’s place among notable contemporary artists who continue to push the boundaries of accessible, narrative-driven art.

AP Artist Proof 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat & Marked AP, Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP Silkscreen Print 2008 The 2008 The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP Artist Proof silkscreen print is a rare collaboration between Shepard Fairey, internationally recognized as OBEY, and stencil pioneer Blek le Rat.

As an Artist Proof, it holds particular value among collectors of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, symbolizing both artistic experimentation and the direct approval of the creators. Imagery and Urban Context The composition combines stark stencil work with a heavily graffitied wall, embedding the artwork within the raw energy of urban life. At the center, a suited man carries bags labeled with text, positioned alongside a goat, while a police officer passes in the foreground. To the right, a telephone booth punctuates the scene, grounding the work in the everyday architecture of the city. The layering of graffiti tags, political scrawls, and the surreal juxtaposition of figures evoke themes of consumerism, authority, and rebellion. The suited figure in particular hints at urban alienation, while the presence of the goat and booth adds absurdity, making the composition at once humorous and sharply critical. Collaboration Between Shepard Fairey and Blek le Rat Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in 1951 in France, is widely credited as the father of stencil graffiti, bringing social commentary directly into the streets of Paris beginning in the 1980s. Shepard Fairey, born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, built his reputation through his OBEY sticker campaign and politically engaged prints, including the Hope poster of Barack Obama. Their collaborative works, such as The Man Who Walks Through Walls, highlight a shared belief in the role of public art as a platform for protest and dialogue. The merging of Fairey’s graphic sensibilities with Blek’s direct stencil approach emphasizes the continuity between two generations of politically minded street artists. Rarity and Significance of the Artist Proof The Artist Proof edition carries special weight within the print world, typically produced in very small quantities and often retained by the artists.
