The resulting prints are often abstract and colorful, and can be used for a variety of decorative and artistic purposes. To create a blotter paper artwork print, the artist first prepares the blotter paper by treating it with chemicals that will enhance its absorbency and ability to hold ink or dye. Then, ink or dye is applied to the paper using various techniques, such as dripping, pouring, or spraying. The paper is left to dry, and the resulting print is then carefully removed from the blotter paper. Archival printing techniques are used to produce high-quality prints of the original artwork. This involves using high-quality inks and paper that are designed to last for a long time without fading or deteriorating. Archival prints are also resistant to moisture and sunlight, which helps to preserve the artwork for years to come. Blotter paper artwork prints can be a great addition to any home or office decor, and they are often used as a unique form of wall art. They are also popular among collectors and art enthusiasts, as each print is one-of-a-kind and can never be replicated exactly.

  • Art in Action Stealing Banksy Archival Print by Jeff Gillette

    Jeff Gillette Art in Action Stealing Banksy Archival Print by Jeff Gillette

    Art in Action- Stealing Banksy Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Paper by Artist Jeff Gillette Urban Pop Art. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Artwork Size 16x20 "Art in Action- Stealing Banksy" by Jeff Gillette is a provocative limited edition print that confronts the viewer with a powerful commentary on the commodification and ownership of street art. This 2022 archival pigment print on 290gsm Moab Entrada fine art paper, in a limited series of 100 signed and numbered editions, presents a stark black, white, and red composition that is sizeable at 16x20 inches, designed to make a statement wherever it is displayed. Gillette's work is often a satirical exploration of the intersection between global pop culture and the gritty realities of urban environments, and "Stealing Banksy" is no exception. The piece showcases a stenciled image reminiscent of the iconic style associated with the elusive street artist Banksy, featuring figures removing a wall piece, with the word "MINE" prominently displayed. The stark monochrome palette punctuated by the bright red text draws the eye immediately to the central message of the piece – the controversial practice of physically removing street art from its original public location to private collections for profit. In this print, Gillette plays with the layered concepts of art, ownership, and value. By depicting the act of 'stealing' Banksy, the artist raises questions about the nature of street art: is it meant to be a freely accessible art form or a commodity for the highest bidder? The image acts as a stark reminder of the tensions between art as a public treasure and as a private luxury. For collectors, "Art in Action- Stealing Banksy" is not just a piece of fine art; it's a piece of the ongoing dialogue about the place of street art in society. The limited nature of the print run reflects the exclusivity that comes with the territory of fine art, yet the subject matter critiques this exclusivity. Gillette's signature on each print adds a layer of authenticity and a direct connection to the artist, further entwining the themes of authorship and ownership inherent in the piece's narrative. Through "Stealing Banksy," Jeff Gillette invites us to reflect on the paradoxes of street art's ephemeral nature and its simultaneous status as a coveted commodity in the art market.

    Jeff Gillette Mickey Hiroshima Archival Print by Jeff Gillette

    Mickey Hiroshima Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Rag Paper by Jeff Gillette Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 30 Size 14x9 "I am from the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. In the late 1980s, I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal for two years. During this two-year stint, I visited every major city in India, finding myself exploring the huge slums found there. On my return home, I moved from the Mid-West to escape the snow to teach High School Art in Orange County, California. Since finishing my MFA at Cal State Fullerton, I have been exhibiting in galleries both at home and abroad. My work is most often landscapes. A major portion of my output is paintings of slums of the developing world, where I often add an element of western cultural privilege (and oblivion) into settings of urban blight. Inspiration for what I call “Slumscapes” comes from the first-hand experience of traveling. Most often I return over and over to my favorite destination: India. In the vast poverty-stricken fringes of its vast megalopolises, I trip out on how the economic disparities are obscenely extreme. I’ve been spending a lot of time in Mumbai slums: photographing, filming, creating Plein Aire paintings, and creating interactive street art. Besides depicting slums, my artwork portrays post-apocalyptic debris fields, landfills, and detritus-cluttered deserts. The Juxtaposition of Disney themes and beloved characters (i.e.: Mickey Mouse) with all these dystopias best conveys my personal views. Pondering contemporary social, political, economical and philosophical conundrums, I can’t help but feel absurdly helpless, pessimistic and humored about the future of Western Civilization…" - Jeff Gillette

Mouse & Rat Graffiti Street Pop Art

The Cultural Resonance of Rodents in Urban Art

The mouse and the rat, creatures often considered pests in urban settings, have been reimagined and elevated to subjects of intrigue and icons of resilience in the world of street pop art and graffiti artwork. The representation of these animals in street art goes beyond their physical form, symbolizing a range of themes from survival and adaptability to the darker undertones of human existence in the concrete jungle. In street pop art, the mouse and the rat have taken on significant cultural resonance, often depicted in a variety of styles ranging from whimsical and charming to gritty and subversive. These creatures, known for their resourcefulness and ubiquity, mirror the characteristics of street artists themselves, who often work in the shadows of the city, leaving their mark in unexpected nooks and crannies. The portrayal of mice and rats can be seen as a metaphor for the way street art occupies and reclaims space within the urban landscape. The rat, in particular, has been a recurring motif in the works of many prominent street artists. It is a symbol that has been used to comment on everything from political corruption and societal greed to the indomitable spirit of the marginalized. In the hands of street artists, the image of the rat is transformed from an unwanted intruder to a powerful representation of the people's voice and the omnipresence of street art itself. Pop art's influence on the representation of mice and rats in street art is unmistakable, with bold colors and graphic lines often used to draw attention to these creatures, elevating them from the sewers to the spotlight. This use of pop art aesthetics brings a sense of irony and humor to the subjects, allowing artists to engage with viewers on multiple levels and encouraging the public to reconsider their perceptions of the urban environment and its animal inhabitants.

Street Pop Art's Commentary Through Rodent Depictions

In graffiti artwork, mice and rats are often portrayed with a dual nature, embodying both the endearing qualities associated with their small size and the perceived menace due to their association with decay and destruction. This duality is reflective of the graffiti artist's role in society—both celebrated as a purveyor of culture and creativity and, at times, vilified as a vandal. The small stature of these animals in such art pieces also speaks to the notion of the underdog, a common theme in the socio-political narratives of street art.Street pop art and graffiti artwork featuring mice and rats frequently serve as social commentary, touching on issues of economic disparity, human impact on the environment, and the struggle for survival in a world marked by rapid urbanization. These depictions provide a poignant commentary on the state of modern society, reminding us that the presence of rodents is a direct reflection of human activity and urban development. Through the artistic rendering of mice and rats, street pop artists challenge viewers to reconsider these creatures and their place in the urban ecosystem. Far from being mere vermin, in the realm of street pop art and graffiti, they become emblematic of the complexities and contradictions of city life. Through the use of mice and rats as subjects, artists continue to engage with the public in a dialogue about nature, existence, and the ever-changing landscape of urban environments.
