    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.

  • Art in Action Invader Archival Print by Jeff Gillette

    Jeff Gillette Art in Action Invader Archival Print by Jeff Gillette

    Art in Action- Invader 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 - Invader" captures a raw, energetic fusion of street pop art and graffiti through the lens of Jeff Gillette's distinctive approach to contemporary art. 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.

Jeff Gillette

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.
