Iron Man 3- Box Office Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print on 330gsm Fine Art Paper by Bask street artist modern pop art. "Last June, a friend called me saying that Robert Downey Jr. and the production team wanted to use one of my paintings, When It Rains It Pours, in the next Iron Man film. So I created it to their size specification of 5ft wide and 13ft tall and the piece was put into Iron Man Tony Starks' home in the film. Then they asked me if I’d be interested in doing more work for the Mandarin’s lair a few months later when they were shooting in Miami. I of course said yes, and ended up doing 13 more massive paintings and some set design for them along with the Iron Man mask you see here. They asked me to create a design for the wrap of the film last year. They made shirts and postcards for the set department with that image. So while this doesn't appear in the film it was definitely a big part of the project." - BASK

Untitled III Original Acrylic Painting by Atomik One of a Kind Artwork on Canvas by Street Art Pop Artist. 2020 Signed Acrylic Painting Original Artwork Size 12x12 Smiling Atomik Orange Untitled III by Atomik: The Smiling Orange as Icon of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Untitled III is a 12 x 12 inch original acrylic painting on canvas by Atomik, a Miami-based artist widely recognized for his recurring character—the grinning orange with exaggerated features and slick green leaves. Created in 2020, this one-of-a-kind signed piece captures the energy and wit that defines Atomik’s work in the worlds of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The subject, affectionately known as the Atomik Orange, emerged as a response to the demolition of Miami’s Orange Bowl in 2008 and has since evolved into a vibrant symbol of community memory, local pride, and artistic defiance. In Untitled III, the orange character is presented in a tightly cropped view, its cartoonish grin stretched across the lower canvas, eyes glinting with thick, comic-style highlights. The paint is layered with precision, bold black linework creating a crisp barrier between vivid orange and lime green tones. Shades of blue and white bring depth to the character’s eyes and smile, while the use of directional hatching nods to print-era comic illustrations. The background, rendered in a calm sky blue, allows the character’s electric palette to explode off the canvas. This color relationship enhances the orange’s buoyant personality, which is humorous, manic, and defiant all at once. The Atomik Orange and the Language of Urban Reclamation The character at the center of Untitled III represents more than just visual branding—it is a reclamation of space and memory. When the Orange Bowl was razed, a piece of Miami’s identity was lost. Atomik, born and active in the United States, responded with a visual intervention that turned grief into vibrancy. His orange character began to appear across the city on walls, mailboxes, rooftops, and abandoned buildings, acting as both a tribute and a defiant marker of presence. In canvas form, as seen here, the character retains all of its street energy while transitioning into a collectible artifact. The cheeky grin and raised brow act as visual shorthand for Miami’s blend of attitude, warmth, and creative resistance. Atomik’s work embodies the style and function of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where characters serve as symbolic graffiti tags, social commentary, and public avatars. His orange exists in multiple states—rebel, clown, mascot—and its simplicity is its power. The use of expressive line, exaggerated proportion, and strategic highlights is directly linked to the language of muralism and comic book art, both of which feed into graffiti’s visual vocabulary. From Street to Canvas: Atomik’s Expansion into Gallery Culture Untitled III represents an important aspect of Atomik’s practice: the movement of street-born characters into formal art spaces without sacrificing edge or identity. By bringing his orange to canvas, Atomik maintains the same boldness and accessibility found on city walls. The work is not diluted but concentrated, focusing all its pop intensity into a contained format. The painting retains the urgency and charm of its graffiti roots, made sharper through studio technique and acrylic detail. This transition from public wall to private collection is central to many Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork artists, who continue to operate in both spheres simultaneously. Atomik remains prolific in Miami’s streets, but his gallery pieces like Untitled III allow collectors to engage with the movement in intimate, long-lasting ways. These pieces become cultural documents, embodying not only the energy of a character but the broader movement it represents. Visual Identity and Cultural Commentary in the Work of Atomik Atomik’s orange is more than an aesthetic motif—it is a cultural signal. The bold grin, the splash of citrus color, and the playful features all contribute to a language of visual activism. It communicates joy while remembering loss, mischief while asserting presence. Untitled III, with its clean composition and signature style, preserves this energy on canvas in a way that invites repeated viewing. The piece pulses with the same character-driven ethos that has defined pop art figures since the mid-twentieth century, while remaining grounded in graffiti’s rebellious tradition. As a singular work of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Untitled III captures a moment in time when characters were not just imagined but lived across a city’s architecture. Atomik’s orange continues to smile—on walls, on canvases, in print, and in spirit—reminding viewers that personality and protest often share the same line.
