Thieves & Backstabbers- Collectors Edition Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Layer Ink Texture & Embrossments Print on Mylar Paper by Activist Artist Marwan Shahin Rare Limited Edition Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 10 Artwork Size 18x24 "This edition of the artwork is interpreted with brand new print technology for layering ink to create texture and embossment on striking Mylar, Each print is intricately arranged with a filigree of metallics, to produce visually intoxicating effects." -Marwan Shahin "Thieves & Backstabbers - Collectors Edition" emerges as a stunning piece by Marwan Shahin, an activist artist who employs his craft to challenge and dissect the socio-political landscape. This rare limited edition artwork is more than a visual statement; it is a manifestation of technical innovation in printmaking. Crafted in 2022 and part of a highly exclusive series of just ten signed and numbered prints, each 18x24 artwork epitomizes the power of visual art to communicate complex narratives. Shahin's choice of medium is as unconventional as his subject matter. He utilizes hand-pulled silkscreen techniques, layering ink to construct not just color and form but tangible texture and embossment, producing an almost three-dimensional effect on the lustrous Mylar paper. The interplay of light on the metallic inks and the Mylar surface invites viewers into a visual dance, where each angle and each source of light alters the experience of the artwork. It is an edition that stands at the intersection of art and alchemy, with each print in the series offering a unique sensory encounter thanks to the intricate use of metallics that create a visually intoxicating effect. Marwan Shahin's "Thieves & Backstabbers - Collectors Edition" stands as a testament to his reputation as a pioneering figure in contemporary pop art. It embodies his signature approach of integrating pop culture references with deeper political messages, producing art that resonates on multiple levels. As a visual discourse, the piece is a statement on duplicity and the multifaceted faces of human nature, set against a backdrop of opulent symbolism rich in contrast and imbued with layers of meaning. Collectors and enthusiasts of the genre are presented with an opportunity not merely to own a rare piece of art but to engage with a work that pushes the boundaries of silkscreen printmaking and emboldens the narrative potency of modern pop and street art.

Shepard Fairey- OBEY Eyes On The King Verdict Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY
Eyes On The King Verdict 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey x Ted Soqui Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Ted Soqui, Numbered 18x24 inches. Screenprint on thick cream Speckletone paper. Numbered edition of 600. "I based this “Eyes on the King Verdict” print on photos taken by Ted Soqui during the LA riots of spring 1992. Ted has a long history of photographing activists and protests, which began after the “not guilty” verdicts on April 29, 1992, for the four officers who severely beat Rodney King. I especially love the central pic of a young woman protester in a Malcolm X hat contemplating the scene. I think it is important to consider the symbolic weight of the Rodney King verdict and the emotional impact on communities of color seeking justice and accountability. At the time, 30 years ago, I remember feeling enraged that such a blatant act of police brutality was going unpunished when it was captured on video. It is heartbreaking how frequently similar acts of violence and abuse of power by law enforcement have gone unpunished, even when caught on camera. I don’t ever condone violence or looting, but I understand why LA erupted in riots and protests after the King verdict. When people feel that the American system has failed them repeatedly, things can reach a boiling point. The urge to protest injustice and the right to do so are legitimate, even if looting is not legitimate. The LA riots were a tragic mixture. However, beware of those who try to conflate protest with “criminal agitation” or “inciting a riot.” When the system fails the people, it is nothing short of patriotic for the people to protest for a solution. Ted Soqui and I both signed the “Eyes on the King Verdict” print.” – Shepard

Shows a Hand Removing Laws From A Brief Case Infering Wall Street Money Regulations. "Jamie has been one of my biggest influences, and I'm honored that we worked on some collaborative images for the show. The new images deal with the mutual interests of Jamie and I, addressing the timeless problems of corruption and wealth inequality, but tie into the current themes of Occupy Wall Street and the dead end of fossil fuel consumption." -Shepard Faire.y Shepard Fairey's Collaboration with Jamie Reid in Street Pop Art The "Shoplifters Welcome Silkscreen Print" is a remarkable intersection of street pop art and political commentary, created by the influential Shepard Fairey in collaboration with Jamie Reid. This limited edition hand-pulled screen print on cream speckletone art paper is a testament to the potency of visual art as a tool for social critique. Released as part of Jamie Reid's Ragged Kingdom exhibition from March 16 to April 14, 2012, this artwork resonates with anti-establishment and dissent themes common in street pop art and graffiti artwork. Shepard Fairey, renowned for his OBEY campaign and the iconic Obama "Hope" poster, has a history of infusing his work with sharp political insights. The artwork in discussion depicts a hand removing laws from a briefcase, a direct inference to the deregulation of Wall Street and the unshackling of financial institutions from legal constraints. This visual metaphor conveys the message of wealth inequality and corruption, both highly relevant to the zeitgeist of the early 2010s, especially in the Occupy Wall Street movement. Artistic Expression of Sociopolitical Issues The collaborative nature of this artwork, involving both Shepard Fairey and Jamie Reid, underscores a shared commitment to addressing pressing societal issues through art. Fairey's statement about the collaboration highlights their mutual interest in tackling the "timeless problems of corruption and wealth inequality," themes that are also deeply embedded in the philosophy of street pop art. The artwork becomes a canvas for discourse, echoing the sentiments of public protests and movements that call for justice and economic reform. In creating the "Shoplifters Welcome" piece, Fairey and Reid tap into the legacy of street pop art's ability to reach a broad audience. Street pop art, often found in public spaces, speaks directly to the masses, unfiltered by the gatekeeping of traditional art venues. Though housed within the confines of an exhibition, this print carries the spirit of street art by being a piece of graffiti artwork that one can own—a symbol of both rebellion and commodification. The limited edition nature of the print, being one of only 450, adds a layer of exclusivity to a piece that speaks about wealth disparity, creating an exciting tension between the artwork's message and its status as a collectible item. Each print, signed and numbered by Fairey, is a piece of art and a statement about the artist's role in society—as an observer, a critic, and a participant in the cultural dialogue about power and money. This artwork, sized 18x24, encapsulates a period of intense socio-political activism, serving as a historical document that captures the essence of the early 2010s. The stark imagery, reminiscent of propaganda art, is both a nod to the past and a commentary on the current state of affairs. It draws a parallel between the actions on Wall Street and the broader issues of regulatory oversight and the power imbalance, which remain relevant in discussions about the economy and governance. In the larger context of street pop and graffiti artwork, Shepard Fairey and Jamie Reid's "Shoplifters Welcome" print is a powerful reminder of art's role in society. It bridges the gap between aesthetic appeal and social commentary, functioning as a visual manifesto that calls for reflection and action. The piece is not merely an artwork to be viewed but a conversation starter, a call to arms, and a historical artifact.

Shepard Fairey and Jamie Reid: Art as Social Commentary In collaboration with Jamie Reid, the "Shoplifters Welcome Silkscreen Print" by Shepard Fairey is a powerful example of how street pop art and graffiti artwork can encapsulate and critique social and economic issues. This piece, a limited edition print, was created for the "Ragged Kingdom" exhibition from March 16 to April 14, 2012. It has become a significant work in street art for its bold political statement. The artwork depicts a hand removing a document labeled "MONEY" from a briefcase, a visual representation of deregulation, particularly within the context of Wall Street. This act is set against an offer for 'shoplifters,' a satirical nod to the notion that the financial elite operates under a different set of rules than the average person. The print's striking use of the phrase "THIS DECADE ONLY!" further emphasizes the timely nature of the message, suggesting a window of opportunity for unchecked financial behavior. Art Reflecting the Times: Occupy Wall Street and Beyond Shepard Fairey's statement about the collaboration with Jamie Reid highlights their shared focus on corruption and wealth inequality themes, notably echoed by the Occupy Wall Street movement. The movement, which started in 2011, brought widespread attention to these issues, and Fairey and Reid's work provided a visual commentary that resonated with the public sentiment of the time. The artwork not only represents the artists' perspectives but also serves as a historical marker of the socio-economic climate of the early 2010s. The "Shoplifters Welcome" print is a prime example of how street pop art and graffiti artwork can transcend the boundaries of traditional art by directly engaging with social commentary. Fairey, known for his provocative approach, and Reid, with his history of punk aesthetic, combine their styles to create a piece that is as aggressive as it is artistic. The limited edition nature of the print, signed and numbered by Fairey, adds to its allure as a collectible item, even as it challenges the structures of economic power. In creating this print, Fairey and Reid employ the aesthetic of propaganda, utilizing bold colors and stark contrasts to draw attention to their message. The choice of silkscreen printing, a technique closely associated with street art due to its mass production capabilities, further ties the work to the grassroots nature of its messages. It is a medium that allows the artwork to be disseminated widely, mirroring the spread of ideas central to movements like Occupy Wall Street. The "Shoplifters Welcome" print is a testament to the enduring power and relevance of street pop art and graffiti artwork in contemporary discourse. It is a reminder that art can be an intelligent tool for social critique, reflecting the issues of its time and prompting conversations that can lead to change. Through their collaborative efforts, Fairey and Reid have created more than just a visual piece; they have crafted a narrative that challenges viewers to consider the imagery's deeper implications and question the status quo.
