Captain America Flag Patch HPM Silkscreen Print by Matt Dye- Blunt Graffix Hand-Pulled on White Gold Metallic Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2014 Signed & Numbered Gold Metallic Embellishments Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of The Iconic Captain America flag patch worn by actor Peter Fonda in the film Easy Rider sold at auction in 2007 for $89,625. Part of the Art Show "“Beauty of the Beast". Small Skuff to Right Mid Lower Margin. Captain America Flag Patch HPM Silkscreen Print by Matt Dye – Blunt Graffix The Captain America Flag Patch HPM silkscreen print by Matt Dye of Blunt Graffix is a powerful homage to one of the most recognizable artifacts of counterculture history. This limited edition, hand-pulled screenprint, produced in 2014, features gold metallic embellishments on fine art paper, bringing a unique depth and richness to the distressed American flag imagery. The artwork captures the iconic flag patch worn by Peter Fonda in the legendary film Easy Rider, a piece of cinematic history that was later sold at auction in 2007 for $89,625. As part of the "Beauty of the Beast" art show, this silkscreen print embodies the raw energy, rebellion, and freedom associated with both the film and the broader cultural movement it represents. The Visual Composition and Artistic Execution Matt Dye’s artistic approach in this piece highlights the fusion of street pop art & graffiti artwork with a classic American icon. The composition focuses solely on the flag patch, isolated from its original context and magnified to emphasize its texture, wear, and historical significance. The distressed quality of the print reflects the rugged, anti-establishment ethos of Easy Rider, making the flag appear battle-worn and well-traveled. The choice of gold metallic fine art paper adds a stark contrast between the image’s roughness and the refined elegance of its material, reinforcing the idea that rebellion itself can be a form of artistry. The flag’s faded blue and red tones, combined with the visible fraying at the edges, create a sense of imperfection that aligns with the aesthetics of street pop art & graffiti artwork. The imperfections in the flag mirror the imperfections in the counterculture movement, where freedom often came at the cost of conflict and defiance. The use of screenprinting as a medium further enhances this effect, with ink textures and layering techniques adding a raw, handmade quality that mass production could never replicate. The Cultural Symbolism Behind the Artwork The Captain America flag patch from Easy Rider stands as one of the most significant symbols of rebellion in American pop culture. The film itself represented a generation’s disillusionment with authority, the pursuit of personal freedom, and the struggle against societal norms. By isolating this element and transforming it into a piece of street pop art & graffiti artwork, Matt Dye breathes new life into a historical artifact, reframing it within the context of modern artistic movements. The worn and frayed look of the flag patch suggests a deeper commentary on American identity, questioning whether the ideals of freedom and independence remain intact or have become faded over time. The print challenges the viewer to reconsider the flag’s meaning, whether as a symbol of unity, resistance, or defiance. The artistic choice to magnify the patch allows it to be viewed not just as a costume prop but as a relic of countercultural resistance, making it feel relevant in contemporary discussions of freedom, individualism, and political expression. The Impact and Collectibility of the Limited Edition Print With only 50 prints in existence, each signed and numbered by Matt Dye, the Captain America Flag Patch HPM silkscreen print is a rare and highly collectible piece. The 18x24-inch format ensures that the intricate details of the artwork remain visible, from the stitching of the flag to the delicate imperfections in the print. The hand-pulled screenprinting process further enhances the uniqueness of each print, as variations in ink application and texture make every piece one-of-a-kind. Blunt Graffix is known for pushing the boundaries of traditional screenprinting, blending pop culture nostalgia with the raw energy of street pop art & graffiti artwork. This piece stands as a testament to that vision, capturing the essence of a bygone era while keeping its message relevant in contemporary culture. The incorporation of gold metallic embellishments adds an additional layer of depth, making the artwork feel as though it belongs in both an urban setting and a fine art collection. The Captain America Flag Patch HPM silkscreen print is more than just a tribute to Easy Rider—it is a reflection of artistic rebellion, cultural commentary, and the enduring power of visual storytelling. It serves as a reminder that symbols, once worn and weathered, can still hold immense significance, reshaped by the artists who continue to reinterpret them for future generations.
