    Red Hot Chili Peppers Primus 1989 Fillmore Silkscreen San Francisco CA Print by Frank Kozik Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 1989 Kozik Artwork Size 13x19 Silkscreen Print Band Gig Poster by Frank Kozik. Bill Graham San Francisco The Fillmore Poster F115 Red Hot Chili Peppers Mary's Danish Primus September 15 16, 1989 Red Hot Chili Peppers Primus 1989 Fillmore Silkscreen Print by Frank Kozik The Red Hot Chili Peppers Primus 1989 Fillmore silkscreen print by Frank Kozik is an iconic piece of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork that embodies the rebellious energy of late 1980s underground music and poster culture. Created for the Red Hot Chili Peppers' performance at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco, this 13x19-inch hand-pulled silkscreen print was commissioned as part of the Bill Graham Presents concert series. Featuring bold colors, surrealist imagery, and an unmistakable punk aesthetic, this piece captures the raw intensity of the era’s alternative rock movement. The inclusion of supporting acts Primus and Mary’s Danish further cements its significance as a relic of an explosive time in live music history. Visual Composition and Artistic Style Frank Kozik’s artistic style is instantly recognizable in this print, with its bold neon hues, high-contrast linework, and provocative subject matter. The composition features a flaming skeleton with an exaggerated grin, clad in a polka-dotted bikini bottom, with its tongue out in a defiant gesture. The presence of a stylized, curvy female figure in the background adds a surreal, almost psychedelic touch, reinforcing the wild, chaotic energy associated with the Red Hot Chili Peppers' music. The background consists of swirling patterns in bright pink and purple, creating a hypnotic effect that draws the viewer into the image. The heavy use of black outlines and exaggerated cartoonish elements reflect Kozik’s influence from underground comics, skate culture, and punk zine aesthetics. The typography follows a classic gig poster format, with large block lettering announcing the headlining act in bright pink against a dark background, while additional text in cyan provides details of the event. This mix of playful, irreverent imagery and structured design highlights Kozik’s mastery in blending controlled chaos with striking visual appeal. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Influence Frank Kozik’s work stands at the crossroads of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, merging countercultural aesthetics with fine art printmaking techniques. The poster's aggressive, high-contrast design is reminiscent of graffiti stencils, while the hand-pulled silkscreen process ensures that each print carries a unique, raw texture. The exaggerated punk-inspired figures, combined with psychedelic color palettes, align with the visual language found in 1980s street art and underground concert promotion. This piece reflects the DIY spirit of gig poster culture, where artists crafted promotional artwork that doubled as collectible art. Kozik’s ability to merge lowbrow sensibilities with high-impact design has made his prints some of the most sought-after in the gig poster scene. His background in self-published artwork and street-level design tactics translates into compositions that feel alive, rebellious, and unfiltered. Collectibility and Cultural Impact As an official Fillmore poster, this silkscreen print holds immense historical and artistic value. The late 1980s were a defining era for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, as they blended funk, punk, and rock to create a sound that would later dominate alternative music. The collaboration with Primus, a band equally known for its genre-defying sound, adds to the poster’s significance as a symbol of musical innovation. Frank Kozik’s gig posters have become highly collectible, with limited-edition prints from this era commanding high demand among both art collectors and music fans. The handcrafted nature of the silkscreen process ensures that each piece has its own unique character, reinforcing the authenticity and individuality of the work. Kozik’s influence continues to shape modern poster design, and this print remains a testament to his ability to translate the raw energy of live music into visually arresting artwork. This piece is not just a concert advertisement; it is a statement of the era, an artifact of underground culture, and a masterpiece within the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

  • Pop Sub Final #1 - Sprayed Paint Art Collection

    Florian Bertmer Pop Sub Final #1 Silkscreen Print by Florian Bertmer

    Pop Sub Final #1 Limited Edition 4-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Florian Bertmer, Graffiti Street Artist, Modern Pop Art. 2014 Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 12x12 Pop Sub Final #1 Silkscreen Print by Florian Bertmer: Macabre Iconography in Modern Pop Form Pop Sub Final #1 by Florian Bertmer is a bold and visually aggressive piece that crystallizes the intensity and subversive themes of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Released in 2014 as a numbered limited edition of 100, this 12x12 inch four-color hand-pulled silkscreen print embodies the tension between chaos and control through its fusion of skull iconography, punk motifs, and meticulous detail. The artwork presents a highly stylized skull adorned with a military-style cap, gritting a cigarette between jagged teeth, and crossed bones forming a menacing understructure. The bandana-style border, filled with symbols and intricate textures, adds to the tension and balance within the visual composition. Underground Influence and Symbolic Precision Florian Bertmer is a German-born artist whose work is deeply rooted in underground music, hardcore punk, and countercultural aesthetics. His command of line, symmetry, and iconography in Pop Sub Final #1 reflects his deep history in album cover design and screen printing culture. The crisp four-color palette, dominated by muted golds, reds, and navy tones, evokes a sense of timelessness and menace. The precision of the silkscreen process amplifies the tension in every detail—from the skull’s expression to the layered background that reads like a cryptographic tapestry. The military cap, rendered in dark maroon with pin-sharp hatching, implies authority, but the skull's manic grin and defiant cigarette shift the tone toward irreverence. This contrast is central to Bertmer’s visual language, which questions power, mortality, and self-determination in the modern age. Aesthetic of Rebellion in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Pop Sub Final #1 communicates its defiant tone without the need for slogans or text. The skull’s gaze, slightly off-kilter, and the tension in its expression speak directly to the viewer. The crossed bones, while referencing classic skull-and-crossbones symbology, are given new energy through Bertmer’s stylized rendering and surreal detail. Graffiti and pop art often rely on immediacy and semiotic familiarity, and this piece plays with those concepts by embedding iconographic layers into a deceptively simple format. The background acts like a visual echo chamber, with skull motifs, geometric shapes, and occult-like patterns swirling around the central subject. The effect draws the viewer inward, revealing more with each inspection. Collectibility and Cultural Weight This 2014 edition represents a moment in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork when handmade processes like silkscreen printing reclaimed prominence against digital overload. The fact that Pop Sub Final #1 is hand-pulled and limited to only 100 copies elevates its importance as both a collectible and cultural artifact. Each piece is numbered, and many include subtle variations in ink application, further rooting the work in the ethos of punk DIY ethics and authenticity. Bertmer’s print captures the raw intersection of dark fantasy, social commentary, and graphic mastery, continuing to resonate with audiences seeking artwork that is both confrontational and obsessively crafted. Through Pop Sub Final #1, Florian Bertmer contributes a signature vision that pushes street and pop aesthetics into deeply personal and evocative territory.

    Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas Resist Colonialism Silkscreen Print by Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas

    Resist Colonialism 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Ernesto Yerena Montejano (Hecho Con Ganas) Famous Mexican American Pop Artwork Artist. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Size 18x24 "Resist Colonialism" is a commanding visual statement by Ernesto Yerena Montejano, a name synonymous with vibrant expressions of cultural identity and political activism within the contemporary art scene. This 2-color hand-pulled limited edition silkscreen print, produced under his studio label Hecho Con Ganas, captures the essence of resistance against colonial powers and their historical narratives. Created in 2019, it is a testament to Yerena Montejano's dedication to fusing art with social commentary. The artwork, sized at 18x24 inches, is a limited edition with only 100 signed and numbered pieces, adding an exclusive aspect to its acquisition. The artist's Mexican-American heritage profoundly influences the imagery and themes present in his works, and "Resist Colonialism" is no exception. The stark contrast of the red and black ink, a hallmark of silkscreen printing, resonates with the simplicity yet power of revolutionary posters, echoing the visual language of protest and propaganda throughout history. Yerena Montejano's choice of symbols, juxtaposing a pirate ship bearing both the emblems of hazardous material and the iconic skull and crossbones, underscores the danger and death associated with colonial conquests. The backdrop, an unyielding red circle, could be interpreted as a reference to the rising sun, symbolizing a new dawn of awareness and opposition to colonialism. The inclusion of the raised fist, a universal sign of solidarity and resistance, further amplifies the print’s message, urging onlookers to acknowledge past transgressions and take a stand against the lingering effects of colonialism. This piece of art resonates within the pop art, street art, and graffiti art movements due to its accessible yet poignant visual language. It uses the aesthetics everyday in these art forms to engage the public discourse on decolonization and indigenous rights. As with many of his works, Yerena Montejano's "Resist Colonialism" print is not just a piece of art to be admired for its aesthetic merits but also serves as a mobilizing agent that encourages viewers to reflect on complex socio-political issues. His ability to distill fervent political messaging into compelling graphic art has cemented his status as a crucial voice in the conversation about identity, culture, and activism within the art world.

Jolly Roger Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Jolly Roger in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork

The Jolly Roger, a symbol historically rooted in maritime piracy, has become a recurring image in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork as a marker of rebellion, resistance, and cultural subversion. Traditionally featuring a skull and crossbones or variations of skeletal iconography, this emblem once signaled danger on the high seas. Today, it serves as a potent graphic tool for artists challenging the authority of systems, the saturation of branding, and the commodification of identity. Its stark simplicity and symbolic depth offer artists an instantly recognizable visual language to layer with irony, parody, or critique in public space and gallery settings alike.

Rebellion and Counter-Culture Symbolism

Graffiti writers and street artists have long embraced the Jolly Roger as a statement of defiance. In Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, it often appears spray-painted on walls, stickers, wheatpastes, or modified in stencils with punk aesthetics. The flag’s core visual—the skull—resonates with underground movements and has been reimagined by artists to reflect contemporary anxieties. Sometimes the bones are replaced by paintbrushes, spray cans, or other art tools, creating visual metaphors for creativity as a weapon against societal oppression. The symbol is deployed not as a glorification of violence but as a challenge to compliance, reflecting the outlaw nature of unsanctioned street expression.

Adaptations in Pop Iconography

The Jolly Roger has been appropriated by pop artists and graffiti creators alike to engage with the blurred lines between danger and consumerism. In Street Pop Art, the flag is frequently integrated with logos, cartoons, or figures from mass media. It might appear beneath the branding of corporate empires or intertwined with celebrity images, offering a critique of how capitalism repackages rebellion. Artists like Shepard Fairey, Ron English, or Banksy have each employed skull motifs in ways that evoke the Jolly Roger’s visual impact while reframing it for modern contexts. It becomes a vessel for sarcasm, dystopian vision, or warnings cloaked in visual appeal.

The Jolly Roger as Visual Weaponry

The impact of the Jolly Roger in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork lies in its duality—simultaneously playful and menacing. When sprayed across a wall, it draws immediate attention and offers an unspoken challenge to the viewer. Its presence can serve as a reminder of the artist’s anonymity, the temporary nature of street art, and the confrontation between creator and authority. Some graffiti artists integrate the motif into character designs or use it to mark high-risk spots as a badge of achievement. The image of the pirate has evolved from historical outlaw to contemporary urban warrior, and the Jolly Roger flies as its flag in asphalt battles, artistic protests, and the visual territories claimed by subcultural expression.
