    Raid71 Storyteller AP Silkscreen Print by Raid71

    Storyteller AP Silkscreen Print by Raid71 Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2023 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 The "Storyteller AP" silkscreen print by Raid71, the moniker of British artist Chris Thornley, is a rich, evocative tribute to the legendary Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki, a towering figure in the world of animation. This work, infused with a deep admiration for Miyazaki, emerges as a unique confluence of pop art, street art, and graffiti art, embodying elements that are quintessential to each of these genres, thereby capturing the essence of their dynamism. The print encapsulates the magical realism and intricate artistry characteristic of Miyazaki's films. By employing silkscreen printing, a popular method in the pop art movement famously used by artists like Andy Warhol, Raid71 is able to imbue the artwork with vivid colours and bold shapes, capturing the exuberant visual style typical of Miyazaki's fantastical worlds. Simultaneously, Raid71's print exhibits an aesthetic that is reminiscent of street art and graffiti. The organic forms and somewhat edgy, wild feel of the design mirrors the raw energy found in street murals or urban spray-can masterpieces. A hint of subversiveness is introduced, much like street art and graffiti often serve as counter-culture expressions or socio-political commentary. The "Storyteller AP" by Raid71 is thus not just an homage to Miyazaki, but also a celebration of these artistic genres. It mirrors the world-building capabilities of pop art, the raw energy of street art, and the disruptive potency of graffiti, all while maintaining a unique identity. This intertwining of styles generates a captivating visual narrative, positioning Raid71 as a modern-day storyteller, translating the magic of Miyazaki's oeuvre into a new medium.

  • Beast of Burden Standard Silkscreen Print by Lee Eelus

    Lee Eelus Beast of Burden Standard Silkscreen Print by Lee Eelus

    Beast of Burden Standard Silkscreen Print by Lee Eelus Hand-Pulled 2-Color Screen Print on Deckled 300gsm Somerset Satin Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2017 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 27.55x19.68 Lee Eelus is a contemporary British artist known for his thought-provoking and visually striking works, which often blend street art techniques with traditional fine art practices. His art often explores themes of duality and the human condition, and his distinctive style is characterized by bold colors and intricate stencil work. "Beast of Burden" is a standard silkscreen print created by Lee Eelus. Silkscreen printing is a technique in which an image is transferred onto a surface, such as paper or fabric, by forcing ink through a mesh screen. This process allows for the creation of vibrant and detailed prints, which can be replicated multiple times. In "Beast of Burden," Eelus portrays an animal, possibly a donkey or a mule, carrying a heavy load on its back. The piece is likely a commentary on the burden that humans place on animals, both physically and metaphorically, and it may also serve as a reflection on the weight that we all carry in our lives. The rich colors and intricate design of the piece make it a visually captivating work that is sure to spark conversation and reflection.

  • 1919 Pelican Tombs Pennsylvania 2009 Silkscreen Print by Justin Anville

    Justin Anville 1919 Pelican Tombs Pennsylvania 2009 Silkscreen Print by Justin Anville

    1919- Pelican Tombs- Pennsylvania 2009 Music Limited Edition Gig Poster 4-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print Artwork on Fine Art Paper by Justin Anville. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition Gig Music Poster Artwork Size 18x24. 919, Pelican Tombs, Music, Event, Theatre of Living Arts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, June 3rd 2009, Live Nation The Synthesis of Music and Street Pop Art The convergence of music and visual arts often produces memorabilia that transcends the moment of its creation, embedding itself in the cultural fabric of a time and place. Such is the case with the limited edition gig poster for the event featuring "1919" and "Pelican Tombs" held at the Theatre of Living Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on June 3rd, 2009. This striking piece of street pop art and graffiti artwork is a celebration of both the bands and the evocative power of graphic design within the realm of music. This limited edition gig poster is more than just a promotional tool; it is a collectible artwork that reflects the vibrancy and raw energy of the musical acts it represents. Created by the artist Justin Anville, the print is a four-color, hand-pulled silkscreen on fine art paper, a technique that lends the artwork a tactile quality that is both immediate and engaging. The choice of silkscreen printing, a favored method in both street art and pop art for its bold colors and sharp lines, allows the piece to stand out with a visual pop that mirrors the intensity of the live music experience. Visual Elements and Artistic Significance The artwork commands attention with its intricate design and contrasting color palette, which features a dominant red against a backdrop of more subdued tones. At the center, the stylized numerals "1919" are prominently displayed, intertwined with symbolic imagery that suggests a narrative extending beyond the bands' names. This typographic treatment is reminiscent of graffiti art, where letters become an integral part of the visual impact, often carrying meaning in their form as much as in their content. Cultural Imprint of the 2009 Event Poster Limited to a signed and numbered edition, the poster carries with it an aura of exclusivity. Measuring 18x24 inches, it is a sizable piece that was designed to be noticed, to be a talking point, and ultimately, to be remembered. As a piece of memorabilia, it serves as a timestamp, capturing the cultural zeitgeist of the late 2000s Philadelphia music scene, a period marked by a resurgence in indie and alternative genres. The inclusion of the Live Nation brand also signifies the commercial and mainstream acknowledgment of the genres and bands, hinting at their movement from the fringes into the spotlight. The Legacy of Gig Posters in Street Pop Art The significance of gig posters like this one extends beyond the night of the event itself. They are artifacts of cultural history, capturing the essence of musical movements and the artistic styles that accompany them. In the broader context of street pop art and graffiti artwork, gig posters are often the crossroads where music and visual art fans meet, share, and appreciate the interplay between these forms of expression. This particular poster, with its bold aesthetic and connection to a specific time and place, is a perfect illustration of how street art and music can come together to create something enduring. In the ever-evolving dialogue between music and visual arts, the 2009 limited edition gig poster for "1919" and "Pelican Tombs" stands as a testament to the power of this collaboration. It is not just a promotional item; it is a snapshot of a scene, a piece of street pop art, and a collectible that holds within its inks and paper the echoes of a night of music and the spirit of its time.

His pieces are not just seen; they are experienced, invoking a visceral reaction as much as it is visual. For those fortunate enough to own a piece of this limited series, it's not just an acquisition of art; it's an immersion into the spirit and soul of a movement that has left an indelible mark on the world.

    Kaws- Brian Donnelly Companion Flayed- Brown Fine Art Toy by Kaws- Brian Donnelly

    Companion Flayed- Brown Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by Modern Pop Artist Kaws. 2016 Unopened Package Limited Open Edition 10.5 X 4.5 X 2.5 / 16.7 X 11.4 X 6.4 CM Unveiling the Companion Flayed Brown by KAWS The Companion Flayed Brown Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible is a distinctive artifact in the oeuvre of KAWS, an artist whose influence permeates the worlds of modern pop art, street pop art, and graffiti artwork. Released in a highly anticipated series in 2016, this piece showcases the flayed version of KAWS' Companion character. This icon has been reinterpreted across many mediums over the years. Encased in its original, unopened packaging, the figure is presented in a limited open edition, measuring 10.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 inches. The Companion series is, arguably, the most recognizable aspect of KAWS' work, embodying the cross-pollination of street culture and fine art. The flayed versions, such as this brown edition, offer a visceral look at the internal complexity of the character, juxtaposing vulnerability with the toy's stoic posture. Standing at 11 inches tall, the figures were released in conjunction with KAWS' "Where The End Starts" exhibition in Fort Worth, Texas, through various esteemed outlets, including KAWSONE, MoMA, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. The Companion Flayed Brown in the Context of Street Pop Art The Companion Flayed Brown emerges as a sought-after collectible and a significant commentary within street pop art and graffiti artwork. It continues KAWS' exploration of his characters' emotional and narrative depths, a theme consistent throughout his body of work. The figure's brown hue resonates with the earthiness and authenticity often associated with street art, grounding the otherwise ethereal character in the reality of the physical world. Like its counterparts, this edition offers a tangible connection between the artist's beginnings in graffiti and his ascension into the global art market. The release of such a piece through prominent cultural institutions underscores the recognition and acceptance of street-inspired art within formal art circles. The Companion Flayed Brown thus serves as both a milestone for KAWS and a symbol of the evolving perceptions of street pop art in contemporary culture. KAWS and the Evolution of Art Toys KAWS' Companion Flayed Brown symbolizes the evolution of the art toy movement, blurring the lines between plaything and high art. The careful crafting of this collectible, from its conceptual underpinnings to its meticulous production, highlights the artist's commitment to challenging the boundaries of traditional art forms. The flayed aesthetic invites viewers to confront identity's constructed nature and the layers comprising our public personas. The 2016 series of Companions, including the Brown Flayed edition, marks a pivotal moment in the history of art toys, propelling them into the realm of legitimate artistic collectibles. KAWS' approach to the Companion series reflects a nuanced understanding of the art toy as a medium capable of conveying complex themes akin to those found in street pop art and graffiti artwork. Through works like the Companion Flayed Brown, KAWS cements his status as an innovator who continuously redefines the interplay between commercial and fine art.

Monsters Creatures & Beasts Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Monstrous Reflections in Pop Art

In pop art, the monstrous takes on a guise that often challenges the status quo, pushing against the boundaries of traditional aesthetics. These depictions serve not only as a reflection of the cultural zeitgeist but also as a mirror of the human condition. Artists like Andy Warhol and Keith Haring have utilized the motif of monsters to represent the more grotesque aspects of celebrity culture and the mass media landscape, creating both unsettling and familiar works. The exaggeration and distortion inherent in their monstrous figures magnify the absurdity of societal obsessions and the dark underbelly of fame and consumerism. Monsters, creatures, and beasts have been a recurring theme in the dynamic spheres of pop art, street pop art, and graffiti artwork, capturing the imagination and attention of a diverse audience. This thematic exploration offers a rich tapestry of symbolism and cultural commentary, reflecting societal fears, aspirations, and the collective unconscious. Artists leverage the monstrous and mythical to craft visuals ranging from the whimsically absurd to the deeply reflective, often imbued with a sense of irony or social critique characteristic of pop art's dialogue with mainstream culture.

Urban Mythologies in Street Pop Art

Street pop art, the rebellious offspring of pop art and graffiti, takes this monstrous theme to the public canvas of city walls and back alleys. Here, artists like Banksy and Shepard Fairey have crafted images that blend the mythical and the urban, creating modern mythologies that resonate with a city's inhabitants. Their works often serve as social and political allegories, with creatures standing in for the marginalized or the oppressive forces of society. Public spaces for these artworks democratizes the viewing experience, allowing these monstrous tales to be part of the everyday urban landscape, accessible to all who traverse the city.

Graffiti Artwork's Beastly Narratives

Graffiti artwork, with its roots deep in subversive and countercultural movements, has always embraced the monstrous in various forms. The creatures and beasts that sprawl across buildings and trains often convey the raw emotions and experiences of the graffiti artists themselves. This form of expression, illicit and usually performed under the cover of darkness, is akin to the nocturnal nature of mademocratizebeasts, creating a parallel between the artists and their creations. These creatures can be protective totems for the communities they watch over or symbols of resistance against societal constraints.

Technological Horizons and Digital Monsters

As the digital age advances, pop art, street pop art, and graffiti artwork have embraced new technologies to reimagine the concept of monsters. Digital tools have enabled artists to create more complex and interactive creatures that engage with viewers in real-time, often with the ability to change and evolve. This intersection of technology and art has given rise to virtual monsters that inhabit digital landscapes, commenting on the increasingly blurred lines between the real and the virtual and reflecting modern fears of digital surveillance, privacy erosion, and the loss of humanity in an increasingly automated world.

Cultural Synthesis and Global Monsters

The globalization of pop art and graffiti has led to a cross-pollination of monstrous themes, with creatures from different cultures and mythologies coming together on the same wall or canvas. This fusion creates a universal language of monsters, where a Japanese kappa can coexist with a Latin American chupacabra, each bringing their own stories and cultural significance to the artwork. This synthesis celebrates diversity and highlights the commonalities of human storytelling and the shared archetypes that transcend geographical and cultural boundaries. In summary, monsters, creatures, and beasts are more than mere subjects in the diverse genres of pop art, street pop art, and graffiti artwork. They are potent symbols, carriers of meaning, and vehicles for the artists to engage with viewers on multiple levels. Whether as a critique of consumer culture, a reflection of societal issues, or a celebration of myth and legend, these themes continue to evolve, ensuring that the monstrous will remain a central figure in the visual dialogue of street pop art and graffiti artwork.
