    War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway Variable Stencil Edition Acrylic Artwork on Hand Deckled Fine Art Paper by Street Artists Shepard Fairey x Ernesto Yerena Montejano x Hecho Con Ganas x Obey. 2022 War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway 20x26.5 inches. Signed & Numbered Ultra Rare Edition of 14. Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on Paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey, Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner. "Created during the Iraq war, but the quest for peace requires perpetual vigilance, and the current invasion of Ukraine is a reminder of the brutality of war. The “War By Numbers” image is a statement about not becoming desensitized by war to the extent that it becomes as banal as a paint-by-numbers image. The “Peace Elephant” is an appeal to our sense of Karma and harmony with the world around us." - Shepard Fairey A profound intersection of artistry and activism emerges in "War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway," an emblematic piece presented by the collaborative brilliance of Shepard Fairey, Ernesto Yerena Montejano, Hecho Con Ganas, and Obey. Showcased on meticulously hand-deckled fine art paper, this 20x26.5 inch artwork not only exemplifies the prowess of its creators but also delves deeply into the social and political fabric of contemporary global scenarios. Dated 2022, this piece holds the distinction of being an ultra-rare Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on paper, with only 14 such editions in existence, each one thoughtfully signed and numbered. Notably, the presence of the Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner augments its authenticity and intrinsic value. While the artwork itself is a marvel of color interplay and design, its underlying message is both timeless and urgent. Shepard Fairey's own words elucidate the motivation behind its creation, highlighting its inception during the Iraq war. Yet, its resonance extends beyond that particular conflict. The piece emerges as an enduring reminder of the costs of warfare, particularly with the poignant backdrop of the recent Ukraine invasion. Fairey astutely draws attention to the dangers of becoming inured to the horrors of conflict, suggesting that society must never allow war's devastation to become as commonplace and mundane as a paint-by-numbers image. This sentiment is further emphasized by the inclusion of the "Peace Elephant," symbolizing the universal aspiration for harmony and an appeal to humanity's collective conscience. In the vast realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti, "War By Numbers" stands as a testament to art's ability to transcend aesthetic appeal, challenging viewers to confront and engage with the world's most pressing issues.

    Hijack BFF Unique 1 Valentines Day Original Silkscreen Print by Hijack

    BFF Unique 1 Valentine's Day Original Silkscreen Print by Hijack Hand Spray Painted on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2024 Signed Original Unique Hand Painted Spray Paint Artwork Size 20x30 Silkscreen Print Embracing Emotion Through the Vibrancy of Street Pop Art: Hijack's BFF Unique 1 Valentine's Day Print In the pantheon of modern urban art, the expressive power of street pop art is undeniable, and its influence can be felt rippling through the works of countless artists. Among these, Hijack, a pseudonym for the artist who indeed hijacks public consciousness with vibrant images, stands out with his piece BFF Unique 1 Valentine's Day Original Silkscreen Print. This artwork, released in 2024, bears the marks of a creator deeply rooted in the culture of Los Angeles, California, where the streets serve as an ever-evolving canvas for declarations of all forms. Hijack, thriving in his father's legacy, Mr. Brainwash (Thierry Guetta), takes to the stage of fine art with a daring that is reminiscent of his progenitor and distinct in its direction. This piece, a hand-spray-painted masterpiece on fine art paper, encapsulates graffiti artwork's spontaneous and spirited essence. Its size, a substantial 20x30, makes it not just a statement but an announcement, a proclamation of the influence of street art on the more sanitized realms of fine art galleries. The BFF Unique 1 Valentine's Day Original Silkscreen Print is a symphony of emotion, meticulously handcrafted and singular in its edition. Each signed original stands as an individual homage to the intricacies of human connection, lovingly rendered through spray paint - a material so intrinsically linked with street art's rebellious and outspoken nature. The Bold Heart of Street Art: Decoding the Visual Syntax of Hijack's Silkscreen Print At the heart of Hijack's print lies a brilliant red heart, pulsating with energy against a backdrop that melds form with color in a dance of dripping paint and deliberate line work. The figure within the frame - hooded, head bowed - invites contemplation, suggesting a narrative as deep as the layers of paint that construct the image. This interplay of iconography and anonymity speaks to the core of what graffiti artwork can be: a mirror to the soul set within the unfettered landscapes of urban environments. The technique of silkscreen printing, renowned for its role in the rise of pop art, finds renewed life in Hijack's hands. The tactile quality of the hand-spray-painted elements of this work brings a sense of immediacy, a rawness often lost in mechanical reproduction. This confluence of traditional methods with the vibrancy of street art techniques results in a piece that is as much an artifact as a slice of contemporary expression. Hijack's nuanced approach to his craft, utilizing the controlled environment of silkscreen printing and the unpredictable nature of spray paint, reflects a duality in much of street pop art. This duality acknowledges the planned and the spontaneous, the personal and the public, the ephemeral and the eternal in ways few other art forms can. Hijack's Artistic Vision: A Beacon in Street Pop and Graffiti Art With every piece, Hijack reaffirms his commitment to the ethos of street pop art. He captures fleeting emotions and moments in time, preserving them within the more enduring framework of fine art. The BFF Unique 1 Valentine's Day Original Silkscreen Print is no exception; it serves as a beacon for the transformative potential of graffiti artwork and its ability to transcend its roots and find a home in the diverse ecosystem of modern art. As each of these handcrafted prints bears Hijack's signature, they do more than simply authenticate the artwork; they serve as a direct line to the artist's hand, creative process, and vision. These prints are not just visual constructs but tactile connections to the artist himself, embodying the spirit of street pop art in their creation and reception. By intertwining the immediacy of graffiti with the lasting impact of fine art, Hijack invites his audience to experience a unique blend of raw street aesthetic and refined artistry. The BFF Unique 1 Valentine's Day Original Silkscreen Print encapsulates the essence of love as viewed through the lens of urban art, offering a narrative that is both intensely personal and vividly public. In Hijack's art, viewers find not just a reflection of the street but a window into the human condition, framed by the bold lines and bright colors of an artist who speaks fluently the city's language.

This will increase its value and make it easier to sell in the future. Condition: The physical condition of the artwork is important, as damage or deterioration can significantly decrease its value. Be prepared to care for the artwork to maintain its condition. Market trends: Research and follow the art market to understand trends and identify potential investment opportunities. Legal aspects: Street art created on public or private property may have legal issues regarding ownership and copyright. Acquiring artwork through reputable galleries or auctions can help avoid potential legal complications. Remember that investing in art, including street art, is a long-term commitment and carries risks like any other investment. It's essential to diversify your investments and not rely solely on art as an asset class. It's also a good idea to consult with an art advisor or financial professional before making significant investments in street art.
