Jeff Gillette is an American contemporary artist, born in 1959, known for his dystopian and satirical artwork. He is particularly famous for his paintings and mixed-media works that combine iconic images of Disneyland with the imagery of slums, creating a jarring contrast between the two. His work often critiques consumer culture, corporate power, and the idealism of the Disney brand. Gillette gained widespread recognition in 2015 when the British street artist Banksy invited him to participate in the Dismaland project, a temporary art installation and amusement park in Weston-super-Mare, England. Dismaland was a dark and satirical take on Disneyland, and Gillette's work fit perfectly with the theme. His participation in the project helped elevate his profile in the contemporary art world. Jeff Gillette's art has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States and internationally, and he continues to create work that challenges societal norms and values, often using dark humor and unsettling juxtapositions to provoke thought and discussion.

Mickey Hiroshima Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Rag Paper by Jeff Gillette Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 30 Size 14x9 "I am from the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. In the late 1980s, I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal for two years. During this two-year stint, I visited every major city in India, finding myself exploring the huge slums found there. On my return home, I moved from the Mid-West to escape the snow to teach High School Art in Orange County, California. Since finishing my MFA at Cal State Fullerton, I have been exhibiting in galleries both at home and abroad. My work is most often landscapes. A major portion of my output is paintings of slums of the developing world, where I often add an element of western cultural privilege (and oblivion) into settings of urban blight. Inspiration for what I call “Slumscapes” comes from the first-hand experience of traveling. Most often I return over and over to my favorite destination: India. In the vast poverty-stricken fringes of its vast megalopolises, I trip out on how the economic disparities are obscenely extreme. I’ve been spending a lot of time in Mumbai slums: photographing, filming, creating Plein Aire paintings, and creating interactive street art. Besides depicting slums, my artwork portrays post-apocalyptic debris fields, landfills, and detritus-cluttered deserts. The Juxtaposition of Disney themes and beloved characters (i.e.: Mickey Mouse) with all these dystopias best conveys my personal views. Pondering contemporary social, political, economical and philosophical conundrums, I can’t help but feel absurdly helpless, pessimistic and humored about the future of Western Civilization…" - Jeff Gillette

Jeff Gillette Art in Action Lichtenstein Archival Print by Jeff Gillette
Art in Action- Lichtenstein Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Paper by Artist Jeff Gillette, Street Pop Art Graffiti Legend. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Artwork Size 16x20 "Art in Action" is a stimulating archival pigment fine art limited edition print by the street pop art graffiti legend Jeff Gillette. Manifested on 290gsm Moab Entrada fine art paper, this captivating work of art, sized at 16x20 inches, encapsulates the dynamic intersection of pop art sensibility with the raw, energetic essence of street art. Signed and numbered in a limited edition of just 100 pieces in 2022, this print infuses Gillette's gritty, critical eye into the colorful, bold graphics reminiscent of Roy Lichtenstein's iconic style. Gillette's work is characterized by a juxtaposition of the whimsical and the frail, often contrasting Disney-like imagery with dystopian environments, thereby creating a thought-provoking dialogue on consumerism, culture, and the underlying narratives of society. His "Art in Action" piece is a perfect illustration of this theme. The visual pop art allusion in print, which reflects Lichtenstein's famed comic strip-inspired art, is cleverly subverted by Gillette's infusion of a street-wise attitude, adding a layer of satire and commentary to the vibrant explosions and comic book aesthetics that defined a generation's art. The explosive "WHAM!" in the backdrop directly nods to Lichtenstein's style. Yet, Gillette ensures his interpretation stands distinct, inviting contemplation on the implications of such imagery in a world far removed from the innocuous panels of mid-century comic books. This artwork's inclusion of the chaotic character figures provides a stark, reflective contrast to the clean, mechanized precision of Lichtenstein's work, suggesting a deeper narrative beneath the surface gloss of pop culture. By merging the techniques and finish of fine art prints with the visceral impact of street and graffiti art, Gillette bridges two worlds often seen in contrast. His work doesn't just hang on a gallery wall; it invokes the street-level engagement and societal critique that is the hallmark of the most impactful graffiti art. Collectors and enthusiasts of this genre will find "Art in Action" a thought-provoking addition to their collection, offering a piece that is as conversation-starting as it is aesthetically compelling.

Jeff Gillette Art in Action Stealing Banksy Archival Print by Jeff Gillette
Art in Action- Stealing Banksy Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Paper by Artist Jeff Gillette Urban Pop Art. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Artwork Size 16x20 "Art in Action- Stealing Banksy" by Jeff Gillette is a provocative limited edition print that confronts the viewer with a powerful commentary on the commodification and ownership of street art. This 2022 archival pigment print on 290gsm Moab Entrada fine art paper, in a limited series of 100 signed and numbered editions, presents a stark black, white, and red composition that is sizeable at 16x20 inches, designed to make a statement wherever it is displayed. Gillette's work is often a satirical exploration of the intersection between global pop culture and the gritty realities of urban environments, and "Stealing Banksy" is no exception. The piece showcases a stenciled image reminiscent of the iconic style associated with the elusive street artist Banksy, featuring figures removing a wall piece, with the word "MINE" prominently displayed. The stark monochrome palette punctuated by the bright red text draws the eye immediately to the central message of the piece – the controversial practice of physically removing street art from its original public location to private collections for profit. In this print, Gillette plays with the layered concepts of art, ownership, and value. By depicting the act of 'stealing' Banksy, the artist raises questions about the nature of street art: is it meant to be a freely accessible art form or a commodity for the highest bidder? The image acts as a stark reminder of the tensions between art as a public treasure and as a private luxury. For collectors, "Art in Action- Stealing Banksy" is not just a piece of fine art; it's a piece of the ongoing dialogue about the place of street art in society. The limited nature of the print run reflects the exclusivity that comes with the territory of fine art, yet the subject matter critiques this exclusivity. Gillette's signature on each print adds a layer of authenticity and a direct connection to the artist, further entwining the themes of authorship and ownership inherent in the piece's narrative. Through "Stealing Banksy," Jeff Gillette invites us to reflect on the paradoxes of street art's ephemeral nature and its simultaneous status as a coveted commodity in the art market.

This archival pigment fine art limited edition print, pressed onto high-quality 290gsm Moab Entrada fine art paper, showcases Gillette's talent in engaging with the aesthetic and thematic elements of street culture. Each print in this limited series, sized at 16x20 inches, carries the artist's signature, certifying its authenticity and exclusive count, limited to a mere 100 pieces globally for the 2022 release. Gillette's art is often characterized by a convergence of dystopian themes with iconic elements from popular culture, which serves as a commentary on the decay and disillusionment underlying the glossy veneer of consumerism. This piece, "Art in Action - Invader," is no exception. It presents a pixelated figure, reminiscent of the popular 8-bit video game characters, which have been a notable theme in street art, particularly by the anonymous French artist known as Invader. However, Gillette takes this recognizable form and infuses it with a visceral splatter of paint, echoing the immediacy and often transgressive energy of graffiti art. The vibrant splashes of color against the stark figures not only draw visual attention but also invite reflection on the impact of digital culture in the art world and its intersection with traditional media. Gillette's use of the Invader motif interrogates the idea of space—both physical and digital—and how street art occupies and transforms public consciousness. The marriage of fine art printing techniques with the spontaneity of street art embodied in this print is a testament to the evolving narrative of art as a tool for social commentary. The limited nature of this series makes it a coveted item for collectors who seek to own a piece of art that not only stands as a visual statement but also represents a critical viewpoint on the dialogue between high art and street culture. In "Art in Action - Invader," Gillette's work is a beacon of this complex conversation, offering a snapshot of street art's ongoing evolution and its persistent echo in contemporary discourse.
