    Dave Kinsey Assassination Silver Silkscreen Print by Dave Kinsey

    Assassination Silver Silkscreen Print by Dave Kinsey Hand-Pulled 4-Color on Off White Archival Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2007 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print by Dave Kinsey based on Auguste Rodin's The Thinker "I created this piece in 2007, which is a commentary on the slow degradation of the education system in the United States—an assassination of the educational nourishment of the people and our society. This piece references Rodin’s “The Thinker” sculpture whose pose is based on deep thought and contemplation. Our schools, universities, and so forth are catalysts to greater change and progress and we as humans need to protect this at all costs." -Dave Kinsey, Two Thousand & Twenty-Three Dave Kinsey is a contemporary artist known for his mixed media work that often blends urban street art influences with fine art practices. His work often explores themes of the human condition, society, and the environment. Kinsey often utilizes silkscreen printing in his work, which is a process that involves pushing ink through a mesh screen to create an image. This technique allows for the production of multiple copies of a design, with each print being an original piece of art. Kinsey's artwork varies in subject matter, and he has created a wide array of prints, paintings, and installations. The Thinker is a bronze sculpture by the French artist Auguste Rodin, which was first cast in 1902. The sculpture depicts a nude male figure, hunched over with his chin resting on one hand and his other hand resting on his knee, deep in thought. Dave Kinseys version, The Thinker has a bullet hole in his head. The pose of the figure is meant to evoke the idea of a man contemplating the meaning of life, and it has become an iconic symbol of philosophy and intellectualism. Rodin originally created The Thinker as part of a larger commission for a set of bronze doors for a museum in Paris. The doors were to depict scenes from Dante's Divine Comedy, and The Thinker was originally conceived as a representation of Dante himself, contemplating the depths of hell. However, the sculpture became so popular that Rodin eventually decided to make it a standalone piece, and he created multiple versions of The Thinker in various sizes and materials. Today, The Thinker is one of the most recognizable sculptures in the world, and it has been widely reproduced and referenced in popular culture. It is also considered a masterpiece of the modern era, and it continues to inspire artists and thinkers around the world.

AP Artist Proof 1996 Signed by Kozik & Numbered Limited Edition of AP 50 Artwork Size 17.5x22 Silkscreen Print Band Gig Poster by Frank Kozik. The Mermen AP 1996 San Francisco CA Silkscreen Print by Frank Kozik Fort Point Pier The Mermen AP 1996 San Francisco, CA silkscreen print is a symbolic piece by the acclaimed artist Frank Kozik, whose work is often associated with the vibrant energy of pop and street art. Kozik's distinctive style is characterized by a blend of bold colors, cartoon-like figures, and a touch of satirical humor, all of which are palpably present in this artwork. This piece, crafted explicitly as a gig poster for a performance at Fort Point Pier on October 4, 1996, captures the essence of the San Francisco music scene of the time. Hand-pulled on fine art paper, the print is part of an exclusive Artist Proof (AP) edition, limited to 50 signed and numbered pieces. Measuring 17.5x22 inches, it's a significant work that embodies the culture and vibrancy of its era. Kozik's use of the silkscreen technique lends the piece a tactile quality that is often lost in digital reproduction, giving each print a unique texture and depth. The imagery in this particular print, featuring a park ranger character brandishing a sign that protests against beach parties, flanked by an unconscious figure surrounded by litter, serves as a witty commentary on environmental conservation and personal responsibility. This reflects Kozik's knack for engaging with social and cultural themes through his art, a trait he shares with many street artists who use public spaces to comment on societal issues. Kozik's work has been instrumental in defining the visual landscape of music culture in the 1990s, with his posters becoming synonymous with the era's underground music scene. The Mermen AP print is not just a piece of memorabilia but also a slice of pop culture history, encapsulating the intersection of music, art, and social commentary. Its existence as a limited edition work heightens its collectibility. It serves to preserve a moment when street art aesthetics infiltrated mainstream visual culture, thereby solidifying Kozik's legacy within the art community.

    WK / Shepard Portrait Silkscreen Print by WK Interact x Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on French Speckletone True White Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 450 Artwork Size 36x24 Silkscreen Print WK Interact and Shepard Fairey are luminaries in pop art, street art, and graffiti art, showcasing creativity that blurs the line between counterculture and mainstream artistry. Each has carved its distinct identity in the ever-evolving art scene, bridging the gap between street aesthetics and fine art. Their contribution to this art form has not only inspired a generation of artists but also brought street art into the global limelight. WK Interact, a French artist based in New York City, is renowned for his kinetic, motion-based black-and-white street art. His works often depict figures in motion, creating a sense of velocity and dynamism that is emblematic of urban life. The artistry goes beyond traditional graffiti as his murals often interact with the architecture and environment they are placed in, reflecting a deep connection with the urban landscape. A key concept behind his work is to capture the energy and pace of city life, turning mundane structures into a living art spectacle. "I’ve known WK for almost 25 years, but I admired his art for many years before that. When I started putting art up on the streets of NY in the early 90s, WK had some of the best murals around lower Manhattan. We’ve collaborated a few times over the years, and when I was in NYC in December, WK shot some portraits of me as part of an artist homage series. Usually, I’m uncomfortable being the subject of art pieces, but I love what he did with the final art because it merges our aesthetics very harmoniously… and my face is less of the focus!" -Shepard Fairey "In 2009, I was invited by Shepard Fairey to have a solo show at the Subliminal Project Gallery in Los Angeles. 14 years later, I have the pleasure of visiting Subliminal Projects once again… to sign a new limited edition print, on which we collaborated. I met Shepard long ago… I’ve joined him on many adventures around the world, from Berlin, Japan, NYC, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, to Paris. Early on, I realized as we were hitting the streets with paste ups, that we shared something in common and that was the constant desire to work. Shepard was the first person to contact me and extend an invitation to participate in the game. I admire how sharp he is… he forgets nothing. I’m grateful that he let me paint his portrait, but I’m mostly honored to call him my friend." –WK Interact

  • Old Is New Is Old Again Giclee Print by Dave Pollot

    Dave Pollot Old Is New Is Old Again Giclee Print by Dave Pollot

    Old Is New Is Old Again Giclee Print by Dave Pollot Artwork Limited Edition Print on Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2020 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 10 Artwork Size 8x10 Matted to 11x14 Renaissance Man Vintage Gentleman Wearing a Wolf Howling At The Moon Dave Pollot's "Old Is New Is Old Again" is a compelling piece of limited edition giclee print artwork that has found its grounding in the intersection of pop art, street art, and graffiti art. Released in 2020, this stunning piece is a testament to Pollot's unparalleled ability to repurpose, reimagine, and recontextualize traditional art forms into contemporary and engaging works. As part of an exclusive series, only 10 signed and numbered copies of this masterpiece exist, each meticulously produced on fine art paper to ensure longevity and vibrancy of color. Measuring 8x10 inches, with a mat that extends the dimensions to 11x14 inches, "Old Is New Is Old Again" is a captivating representation of a Renaissance man in vintage attire. The main subject, distinguished and posed as a gentleman of a bygone era, sports a curious addition that beautifully exemplifies Pollot's creative aesthetic — a graphic of a wolf howling at the moon. This piece seamlessly integrates aspects of modern imagery with classical portraiture, resulting in a unique fusion that embodies the spirit of graffiti pop and street art. In the realm of pop art, Pollot's piece is a nod to the repetition and mass production synonymous with the movement. By embedding modern iconography into a traditional portrait, the artist creatively merges past and present, thereby urging viewers to explore the ubiquitous influence of pop culture on societal perception. The wolf, a symbol often found in street and graffiti art, adds an element of rawness and organic spirit to the otherwise refined and polished depiction of the gentleman. Street art, often reflective of social and cultural expressions, finds its representation in the artwork as well. Pollot's rendering of the gentleman is symbolic of the adaptability and fluidity of street art, with its roots firmly set in the culture of the streets but its reach extending far beyond. The unorthodox incorporation of a graffiti-style wolf into a classical portrait suggests a strong link to street culture, bridging the gap between fine art and popular expressions of creativity. Graffiti art, traditionally associated with rebellion and counterculture, takes on a new form in "Old Is New Is Old Again." The howling wolf, often used in graffiti as a signifier of freedom and independence, has been seamlessly incorporated into the artwork. Its presence offers a stark contrast to the gentleman's attire, suggesting a dichotomy between societal norms and the desire for personal freedom and expression. Through this piece, Dave Pollot has remarkably bridged the gap between varying art forms and historical periods, crafting a timeless piece that speaks volumes of his understanding of art and culture. "Old Is New Is Old Again" is a perfect example of Pollot's ability to draw from diverse artistic movements and social themes, creating a work that resonates with the complexity and diversity of the human experience. In essence, this piece serves as a visual dialogue between different eras and artistic styles, proving that in the realm of art, the old and the new can coexist in the most harmonious and visually striking ways.

"Marchers Black" stands as a testament to the intersection of pop art and street art, encapsulated in the powerful medium of silkscreen printing. Cleon Peterson, the artist behind this captivating piece, introduces a stark, almost confrontational narrative to the world of contemporary art. Dated to 2016, the work highlights a row of tribal men, each gripping a blood-streaked sword, marching in an unbroken line. Their imposing silhouettes, juxtaposed against the unforgiving black backdrop, become symbolic of unity, resistance, and perhaps even revolt. Hand-pulled on deckled fine art paper, the tactile experience of the piece amplifies the already potent visual impact.

Each print in this limited series of 125 carries Peterson's signature, an assurance of authenticity and the artist's personal touch. Despite its seeming simplicity, the artwork is laden with symbolism. The choice of tribal men evokes primitive energies, raw emotions, and unyielding convictions. Their bloodied swords, meanwhile, invite speculation. Are they victims or victors? Oppressed or oppressors? Peterson leaves this open-ended, allowing viewers to craft their narratives or confront their biases. As a beacon in the world of pop and street art, "Marchers Black" is more than just an artwork; it's a conversation, a critique, and a reflection of society's ever-evolving dynamics.

    Hi-Fi AP Dance Floor Riot Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled 1-Color Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Graffiti Pop Street Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2011 Signed & AP Marked Limited Edition Artwork Size 13x13 "Long before I knew about art galleries or even street art, I was excited about album cover art, if only because it was the visual counterpart to the music on the records I loved. Album covers conjured a euphoric association with the listening experience. Most of my earliest home-made tee shirts were stencils based on punk album covers… No matter how much I love art, or try to convince myself of its relevance in society, the fact remains that music is a lot cooler and way more able to reach people’s hearts and minds… but I’m a populist and I look at it this way: I may not play an instrument, but I’m gonna rock it hard as nails anyway. With my art I try to capture the same energy and spirit that makes music so powerful and democratic. REVOLUTIONS is a celebration of all the great music and accompanying art that has inspired me over the years." -Shepard Fairey Pop art, street art, and graffiti have always been mediums that offer a raw and unfiltered reflection of society, culture, and the artist's personal feelings. Among the luminaries in this realm, Shepard Fairey stands tall, his unique creations resonating with both art aficionados and the masses alike. The "Hi-Fi AP Dance Floor Riot" silkscreen print is a testament to his profound admiration for music and its intertwined relationship with visual arts. Crafted meticulously in 2011, this artist proof, hand-pulled, 1-color screen print on fine art paper, is not just an artwork but a fragment of Fairey’s soul, reverberating his passion for music. Shepard Fairey's initiation into the art world was not through the conventional means of art galleries but through album covers that acted as the visual symphony to the music he revered. Just as album art inspired emotions, memories, and an innate connection to the music, Fairey's street art endeavored to forge a similar connection with its audience. The silkscreen in question, sized at 13x13, embodies Fairey's attempt to harness the immense power and universal reach of music. His statement captures this sentiment eloquently, emphasizing how, despite art's intrinsic value, music has a superior prowess in touching human souls. His use of the term "REVOLUTIONS" is twofold, alluding to both the revolutions of a vinyl record and the socio-cultural revolutions music often incites. A deep dive into "Hi-Fi AP Dance Floor Riot" offers viewers a chance to journey through Fairey’s inspirations. The fusion of punk's rebellious nature, the invigorating energy of music, and the democratizing force of street art crystallizes in this piece. For those who see art not just as an aesthetic expression but as a pulsating representation of society and individual emotion, this silkscreen print is both a tribute and an inspiration. Through such creations, Shepard Fairey champions the ethos that one needn't play an instrument to rock the world – sometimes, a canvas and a vision are all it takes.

AP Artist Proof 2012 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Neil Young Music Inspired Man Mountains Barbed Wire & The Phrase "No Trespassing This Land Is My Land" "This Land Is Your Land AP" is a captivating silkscreen print, hand-pulled by the renowned artist Shepard Fairey, commonly known as OBEY. Crafted in 2012 and marked as an Artist Proof (AP), this piece stands out as a limited edition artwork, underscoring the artist's reputation for producing iconic street and pop art. Measuring 18x24 inches, this print is meticulously executed on Speckletone Fine Art Paper, enhancing its visual appeal and ensuring its longevity. Shepard Fairey's inspiration for this artwork emanates from Neil Young's rendition of Woody Guthrie's song, "This Land Is Your Land." At its core, the artwork delves deep into the subjects of immigration policy reform, societal attitudes towards immigrants, and the inherent promise of America. Fairey, a known advocate for immigration policy reform, captures a thought-provoking message, highlighting a lost verse from Guthrie's song. This particular verse poignantly juxtaposes a "No Trespassing" sign with its blank reverse, suggesting that the land is truly meant for everyone, irrespective of societal divisions. The imagery — a man, mountains, barbed wire, and the stark phrase "No Trespassing This Land Is My Land" — is a potent blend of aesthetics and ideology. Woody Guthrie, who wrote the original song, was revered for addressing societal issues such as class inequality and the abuse of power. While some labeled Guthrie as "socialist," Fairey's interpretation celebrates him as a compassionate figure who championed the rights of the marginalized. In embracing this theme, Shepard Fairey's artwork becomes not just a visual delight but a profound commentary on contemporary issues, making it an invaluable piece in the realms of pop, street, and graffiti art.

Lister's choice of subject matter reflects an appreciation for art's evolution. By transforming a 16th-century painting into a modern visual narrative, he bridges centuries of artistic expression. The archival pigment used ensures the vibrancy of colors, preserving the pastel backgrounds and the rich tones of the ambassadors' attire.

Created by the Hygienic Dress League (HDL), a duo known for their intelligent and satirical take on corporate culture and consumerism, this artwork stands out as a limited edition print that delves deep into the fabric of modern society's values. This piece was hand-pulled, utilizing a three-color process on 290gsm Coventry Rag Vellum fine art paper. This choice underscores the quality and attention to detail the HDL invests in its artwork. The limited edition nature of this print, marked PP for Printer's Proof and signed by the artists, points to its exclusivity and collectibility. Measuring 18x11 inches, the print showcases the HDL's iconic visual language, often featuring figures in gas masks. This motif anonymizes individuals while commenting on themes of environmental degradation and protection. The figure is poised, presenting a pigeon against an ornate, golden circular pattern that evokes a coin — directly referencing the title "In HDL We Trust." This imagery is a clever twist on the phrase "In God We Trust," traditionally found in US currency, suggesting a critique of the deification of corporate entities in modern culture. Symbolism and Technique in HDL's Silkscreen Print The Hygienic Dress League's print of "In HDL We Trust" is not just a visual treat; it's a narrative layered with symbolism. The juxtaposition of the pigeon, often seen as an ordinary or even pesky creature, with the superb, almost religious iconography creates a dichotomy that invites interpretation. It could be seen as a statement on the value placed on the mundane or overlooked aspects of life, as contrasted with the grand narrative of corporate trust and power that HDL critiques. The choice of silkscreen printing, a method with roots in both commercial and street art, further bridges the gap between high art and the more rebellious forms of street pop art. The technique used in this artwork, silkscreen printing, is particularly significant in street pop art and graffiti artwork. This method, known for its bold, clear lines and vibrant colors, is ideally suited to the graphic style of HDL. The three-color process in creating "In HDL We Trust" allows for a high level of detail and a range of tonalities that give the piece depth and texture. Using Coventry Rag Vellum fine art paper, a heavyweight and durable medium, ensures that the artwork has a quality feel and can stand the test of time. In summary, "In HDL We Trust PP Printers Proof" is a thought-provoking example of street pop art that demonstrates the power of this medium to challenge and critique.

This elevation is a commentary on the value of street culture and its unwavering influence on contemporary aesthetics. Friedman's work has always been about more than just documenting subcultures; it is about understanding and conveying the underlying messages of defiance, creativity, and freedom that these movements embody. "My Rules" encapsulates this understanding, presenting the viewer with a raw and unfiltered look at the individuals who define these movements. The faces and moments he captures are not passive; they are charged with an energy that demands engagement and recognition.

Through "My Rules," Friedman challenges the art establishment, questions the boundaries of art, and celebrates the indomitable spirit of street culture. The artwork stands as a reminder of the power of visual documentation in capturing and preserving the essence of cultural movements. In the hands of Glen E. Friedman, the camera is as much a tool for creating art as it is for recording it, and "My Rules" is a vibrant illustration of this dual capability. The print is not just a reflection of a bygone era but a beacon for future generations to understand the cultural undercurrents that have shaped and will continue to shape the world of art and expression.

Man Male Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

The Evolution of Male Imagery in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Graffiti street art has long been a platform for artists to express themselves, share messages, and challenge social norms. Men as a topic in graffiti street art can encompass a wide range of subjects, styles, and messages. Some key themes and aspects of men in graffiti street art include Portraits and representation: Graffiti artists often create portraits of men, whether they're famous figures, friends, or strangers. These portraits can showcase various emotions, characteristics, and styles, allowing artists to communicate messages and ideas about masculinity. Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork have long been powerful mediums for expression, often reflecting social, political, and cultural themes. Among these themes is the portrayal of men, which has evolved significantly. This evolution is a reflection of changing artistic styles and shifting societal perceptions about masculinity and male identity.

Early Representations of Men in Graffiti and Street Art

In the early days of graffiti and street art, male figures were often depicted as symbols of rebellion and social dissent. Graffiti, in its nascent form, was closely linked with the subcultures of urban environments, where it was used as a tool for the marginalized to voice their frustrations and aspirations. Exaggerated features, bold lines, and a sense of ruggedness typically characterized the male figures in these early works. They were often portrayed in dynamic poses, symbolizing strength and defiance against societal norms. One of the pioneering artists in this field was Keith Haring, an American artist known for his unique style that combined graffiti, pop art, and cartoon elements. Haring's work often featured male figures engaged in various actions, reflecting themes of life, death, sexuality, and war. He used these depictions to comment on broader social issues, including the AIDS crisis and LGBTQ+ rights. Haring passed away on February 16, 1990, but his influence on street pop art and graffiti remains profound.

Modern Interpretations and Diverse Perspectives

As street pop art and graffiti evolved, the representation of men in these mediums became more diverse and complex. Modern artists have moved away from one-dimensional portrayals, presenting men in various roles and contexts. This shift reflects a broader societal movement towards questioning and redefining traditional notions of masculinity. Contemporary artists like Banksy, whose real identity remains unknown, have utilized male imagery to critique political systems and societal structures. Banksy's work often features men in ironic or paradoxical situations, challenging viewers to reconsider their preconceptions about male identity and power structures. His art serves as a commentary on the vulnerabilities and complexities of modern masculinity, veering away from the stereotypical portrayal of men as merely solid and unemotional.
Similarly, Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra uses colorful, kaleidoscopic patterns to create large-scale murals that often include male figures from history and pop culture. Kobra's work blends hyper-realism and abstraction, bringing a sense of humanity and depth to his subjects. His murals are visually striking and carry messages about peace, unity, and the human experience.

Impact and Influence of Male Imagery in Street Pop and Graffiti Art

The portrayal of men in street pop art and graffiti has significantly impacted both the art world and society. These artworks have provided a platform for discussing and challenging traditional gender roles, offering new perspectives on what it means to be a man in the modern world. They have also played a crucial role in democratizing art, taking it out of galleries and into public spaces, making it more accessible and relatable to a broader audience. Moreover, the evolution of male imagery in these art forms reflects the ongoing societal conversation about gender identity and expression. As attitudes towards masculinity continue to evolve, so too does the portrayal of men in street pop art and graffiti. This dynamic relationship between art and society ensures that these art forms remain relevant and powerful tools for social commentary and change. Cultural icons and role models: Artists may depict male icons, leaders, or role models from various cultures, highlighting their accomplishments, impact, or influence on society. This can include athletes, musicians, politicians, activists, or historical figures. Social issues and masculinity: Graffiti street art often addresses social issues and challenges cultural norms. Men can be the subject of these discussions as artists explore themes such as toxic masculinity, gender roles, and male vulnerability. These artworks can provoke thought and conversation about how men are perceived and expected to behave in society. Styles and techniques: Various styles and techniques in graffiti art can be used to represent men or masculine themes. For example, artists may use realistic, abstract, or cartoonish styles, incorporating typography, stencils, or mixed media elements. Collaborations and collectives: Many graffiti artists work in groups or collaborate on projects, creating a sense of community and shared artistic vision. These collaborations can lead to unique and impactful works that address themes related to men or masculinity. Men as a topic in graffiti street art can be approached in numerous ways, ranging from portraits and representation to social issues and cultural icons. The versatility of graffiti as a medium allows artists to express their thoughts and ideas about men and masculinity in a way that is accessible, thought-provoking, and engaging to the public. The representation of men in street pop art and graffiti artwork has undergone significant changes over the years. From symbols of rebellion in the early days to more nuanced and diverse portrayals in modern times, these images reflect the complex and ever-evolving nature of male identity. Artists like Keith Haring, Banksy, and Eduardo Kobra have shaped this narrative, using their art to challenge stereotypes and spark conversations about masculinity in contemporary society. The impact of their work extends beyond the art world, influencing societal perceptions and contributing to the broader discourse on gender.
