"Using markers, ballpoint pens, and a scriber, I could etch into the paper, creating different effects. The sunset changes as you move around the piece, and the light reflects at you. The etching into the paper shifts these color fields, creating a beautiful effect. Each one is unique. There is no way to convey this effect unless you see it in person. To try and show this effect, I posted a few images shot in shifting light." -Saber Exploring the Halo-Sunset HPM Giclee Print by Saber The Halo-Sunset HPM Giclee Print is a remarkable piece of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork by the acclaimed street artist Saber, who hails from the United States. Known for his dynamic approach to street art, Saber has yet again presented a limited-edition piece that transcends the conventional boundaries of graffiti and pop art. This artwork is a fusion of traditional graffiti elements with contemporary pop culture aesthetics, encapsulating the vibrant energy of street art. Technique and Materiality in Saber's Work Saber's unique approach to his Halo-Sunset series involves meticulously using markers, ballpoint pens, and a scriber to etch into rainbow foil holographic fine art paper. This method allows him to manipulate the reflective qualities of the surface, creating a dynamic interaction with light. As one moves around the artwork, the perception of the sunset shifts, evoking the fleeting beauty of an actual sunset. The hand-etched lines intersect with the color fields, altering their appearance and producing a mesmerizing effect that is impossible to fully appreciate without witnessing the artwork in person. The limited edition of 35 prints, each measuring 8x10.5 inches, features hand-deckled edges, adding to the tactile experience of the painting. These hand-finished touches ensure that each piece remains distinct, highlighting the artist's involvement in creating every print. Moreover, the painting is signed and numbered on the back, with hand-tagged cardboard, certifying its authenticity and limited nature. The Impact of Light and Movement on Perception One of the most striking features of Saber's Halo-Sunset is its interaction with light. The holographic paper serves as a canvas and an active component of the artwork. Depending on the angle of observation and the lighting conditions, the colors change, and the etched lines capture and bend light in various ways. This interactive quality of the artwork invites viewers to engage with it actively, creating a personal connection as they experience the changing hues and textures. Saber has attempted to convey this effect through multiple images captured in shifting light, acknowledging the challenge of translating such a dynamic visual experience into static photographs. This aspect of his work stresses the importance of in-person engagement with art, especially in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where the context and environment play crucial roles in the overall experience. Saber: The Artist Behind the Artwork Saber, whose real name remains a symbol of his roots in the underground graffiti world, has been a significant figure in the street art movement. His works have brought street art into the gallery while retaining its raw, visceral energy. Saber's contributions to the field have been acknowledged worldwide, and his pieces are often seen as cultural landmarks that capture the spirit of the times. This Halo-Sunset HPM Giclee Print is a testament to Saber's skill in manipulating both medium and message to reflect street art's vibrant and transient nature.

Within this genre, the work of contemporary artists like Jordan Nickel, widely recognized under his moniker 'Pose,' stands out. Nickel's approach is symbolic of a generation of artists who combine the street's rawness with pop art's aesthetics to create visually arresting and culturally relevant pieces.

The artwork, produced in a limited edition of 75, measures 30x30 inches, and each piece is signed and numbered by the artist, making it a coveted item for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Jordan Nickel's Place in the Continuum of Graffiti Artwork Jordan Nickel hails from the United States and has significantly impacted the world of graffiti and street pop art. Not confined to the street corners and dark alleys of urban landscapes, Nickel's work reflects a sophisticated and nuanced understanding of color theory, graphic design, and visual storytelling. His pieces are often characterized by bold, vivid colors and intricate compositions that capture the viewer's attention and invoke a sense of familiarity and nostalgia. This is particularly true for the 'Study Silkscreen Print,' where the artist's choice of colors and the complexity of the print process showcase his mastery of his craft. The screenprint technique used by Pose is a testament to the evolution of street pop art from spray cans to more elaborate and technical forms of production. This transition signifies the acceptance of graffiti art into the fine art world and represents the artist's growth and versatility. Using 28 distinct colors in the 'Study Silkscreen Print' requires a meticulous and labor-intensive process, as each color must be applied separately to achieve the desired effect. The result is a layered, textured work that leaps off the paper and captures the essence of the urban environment that inspired it. Impact and Significance of Limited Edition Street Pop Art The limited edition nature of Pose's 'Study Silkscreen Print' elevates the work within the art market and the community of street art collectors.

Each work becomes a part of a select group owned by those who appreciate not just the visual splendor of the piece but also the cultural statements embedded within it. Moreover, releasing limited edition prints allows access to a broader audience than a singular mural on a city wall. It enables the dissemination of the street pop art ethos to various parts of the world, transcending geographical boundaries and inviting a global audience to engage with the art form. Collectors and admirers of Pose's work can thus own a piece of the vibrant street culture that is often temporary and fleeting in its original context. The 'Study Silkscreen Print' carries graffiti artwork's spirit into the refined fine art paper domain. This choice adds a layer of contrast to the intrinsic nature of street art, which is typically temporary and confrontational. This choice reflects a broader conversation within the art world about the place of street art and its evolution. Pose's 'Study Silkscreen Print' is a compelling representation of the contemporary street pop art and graffiti artwork genre. Through this limited edition series, Jordan Nickel underscores the technical prowess involved in creating such pieces and celebrates the vibrant, eclectic essence of street culture. The artwork stands as a colorful testament to the evolving narrative of street art and its rightful place in the annals of fine art.

    Saber Black Widow Black & Red 21_21a Original Spray Paint Charcoal Painting by Saber

    Black Widow Black & Red 21_21a Original Spray Paint Charcoal Painting by Saber One of a Kind Artwork on Fine Art Paper by Street Art Pop Artist. 2022 Signed Spray Paint & Charcoal Pencil Original Painting On Hand Deckled Paper Size 15x17.5. "I love Black Widows ⚫️ ♦️🕷... growing up in Southern California we are surrounded by them. Once you notice thier presents they have a tendency to seep into your subconscious, as they have mine. I spent a little extra time with this series. I added little spider and web details hidden in each piece. Also I'm including some extra gifts created for this series within the packaging. These are not prints but individual paintings. This was created by dipping the edges of the paper in water then quickly scrawling on it with waterbased spraypaint using a fat cap. Then, quickly blast it with a hose while it is still wet to reveal the spraypaints ghost like textures and whips. These ghost shapes become the pathways to then detail out with black charcoal pencil. Because of the fast chaotic nature of the first stage of this process using the spraypaint each piece becomes unique yet simular. The detailing process of the second stage using the black charcoal pencil is slower paced and requires more attention. This drawing process becomes cathartic and meditative as each little puzzle is completed. -Also, as I was working on this series, my son was inspired to draw this baby blackwidow drawing. He insisted I hide this as a gift in one of the packages as a thank you.." -Saber

    Saber Opal Whipz 19 Original Acrylic Painting by Saber

    Opal Whipz 19 Original Acrylic Painting by Saber One of a Kind Artwork on Reflective Paper by Street Art Pop Artist. 2022 Signed Acrylic Paint Original Painting On Hand Deckled Opal/Chrome reflective paper Size 17.5x22.5. "I've been saving a stack of this rare opal/chrome reflective paper for a few years now. I finally built up enough courage to attempt this series considering how limited amount of sheets I have. I've developed a technique where I paint on the paper quickly then use a scrape tool to create the strokes and gestures. Because the surface is drying fast I have a limited time to create the pieces. I enjoy this process because I end up with individual unique pieces within a larger series. Each one has it's own character, movement and engery but was created within the same breath and rhythm. To be honest sometimes these pieces can be static. The flat black against the chrome you can notice the hand painted blemishes and the opal isnt quite actived. But, movement and light plays the central role in how you see it. The opal chrome effect shifts dramatically as you move around it reflecting the light back out into the space. At a certain point of the day if the light hits the piece just right the entire room will light up reflective shards." -Saber
