The Hermit Limited Resin Sculpture Artwork by graffiti street artist modern pop artist Josh Keyes. 2014 Limited Edition of 350 Resin Stamped New In Box Sculpture Size: 10 "L (254mm) x 6.75" W (172mm) x 8" H (203mm) The Artistic Vision of Josh Keyes Josh Keyes is celebrated for his unique blend of street pop art and graffiti artwork, which he brings to life through finely detailed sculptures. "The Hermit," a limited edition resin sculpture created in 2014, exemplifies Keyes' distinctive approach to modern pop art. With only 350 pieces available, this artwork quickly became a coveted item for collectors and enthusiasts of contemporary urban art. "The Hermit" continues Josh Keyes' exploration of the natural world's interaction with human-made environments. The sculpture features a vividly painted, life-like hermit crab that has taken residence in an old, rusted can instead of a shell. This striking image is typical of Keyes' work, where animals are often depicted in surreal juxtapositions with elements of urban decay, symbolizing the impact of human encroachment on natural habitats. The sculpture measures 10 inches in length, 6.75 inches in width, and 8 inches in height, making it a substantial piece that captures the viewer's attention. Crafted with precision, the resin medium allows for the intricate detail Keyes is known for, from the texture of the crab's body to the weathered look of the can. Street Pop Art and Environmental Commentary Keyes' work is often categorized within street pop art due to its accessibility and engagement with pop culture iconography. "The Hermit" is no exception. The sculpture serves as a poignant commentary on environmental issues deeply ingrained in street and graffiti art history. The choice of a hermit crab, an animal that adapts to its surroundings by finding various objects to use as a home, symbolizes urban development's adaptive, sometimes invasive nature. Moreover, "The Hermit" is a physical representation of the reclamation of urban spaces by nature in street art. As graffiti artists repurpose public spaces to convey their message, the hermit crab in Keyes' sculpture repurposes human litter, transforming it into a part of its being. This powerful metaphor speaks to the resilience of nature and its ability to adapt and survive in the face of human interference. A Modern Pop Artist's Critique of Society In the context of Josh Keyes' broader artistic narrative, "The Hermit" is a critical piece that encapsulates his views on society and the environment. It reflects the ethos of street pop art, which often blurs the lines between high art and low art, bringing forth a democratic approach to art appreciation. Keyes' ability to create a dialogue through his art is evident in how "The Hermit" prompts its audience to reflect on their role in environmental stewardship. The sculpture's realistic portrayal of the hermit crab, contrasted with the unnatural home it has found, creates an unsettling and thought-provoking visual tension. Keyes' choice to stamp each piece with his signature further solidifies the artwork as a genuine piece of modern pop art, imbued with the spirit of street culture and the authenticity of graffiti art's raw expression. "The Hermit" by Josh Keyes is a powerful piece of street pop art and graffiti artwork that embodies the modern pop artist's critical eye on society. Its limited-edition nature, intricate craftsmanship, and poignant environmental commentary make it a significant work in the contemporary art landscape. Through this sculpture, Keyes continues challenging viewers, confronting them with the realities of environmental degradation while offering a message of adaptation and resilience. As both an artwork and a statement, "The Hermit" is a testament to street-inspired art's enduring power and relevance in our modern world.
