Habibi- Dammed HPM Pop Street Artwork Limited Edition Giclee Print With Acrylic & Diamond Dust on Photographique Rag Paper by Urban Graffiti Modern Artist Marwan Shahin. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 33 Marwan Shahin's "HABIBI" series an iconic portrait of Lebanese singer Fairuz interpreted throughout different stages of experiencing love, This very limited edition of 33, which each print is intricately arranged with a filigree of Diamond Dust to produce visually intoxicating kaleidoscope-like effects. Habibi: Dammed by Marwan Shahin – A Keyhole Into the Fractures of Love Habibi: Dammed by Marwan Shahin is a haunting and emotionally saturated piece that continues the artist’s compelling exploration of Lebanese music legend Fairuz through the lens of modern street pop art. This 2022 work is part of the HABIBI series, a collection of limited edition Giclée prints—only 33 copies exist—each hand-embellished with acrylic and diamond dust on Photographique Rag paper. With this piece, Shahin delves deeper into the psychological terrain of love, vulnerability, and memory by introducing bold symbolic motifs and a dramatic palette shift. The most striking element is the red and black optical wave background, which radiates tension and intensity. It contrasts sharply with the calm, solemn gaze of Fairuz, whose face is rendered in Shahin’s now-iconic engraved style. But this version introduces an arresting twist: a keyhole-shaped cutout in her face reveals a second, stylized inner portrait. That smaller image—a blue-hued, teary-eyed rendition of Fairuz’s likeness—invokes a fractured duality, as if the viewer is peering into her hidden emotional depths. Symbolism, Inner Worlds, and the Emotional Keyhole The use of the keyhole as a framing device is particularly powerful. It evokes the sense of unlocking private emotion, memory, or heartbreak—allowing viewers access to an internal world usually concealed from the public eye. The interior portrait rendered in bold blue and crimson tones acts as the psychological counterpoint to the stoic exterior. This duality captures the volatility and complexity of romantic love, a recurring theme throughout Shahin’s HABIBI series. Shahin’s hand embellishments, particularly the application of diamond dust, add another dimension to the work. The sparkle of the dust against the matte and flat inks creates visual tension—glamour clashing with grief, radiance interwoven with ruin. Each piece in the edition carries its own nuances due to these handcrafted touches, ensuring that every collector receives a one-of-a-kind artifact that echoes the layered nature of its subject matter. Pop Culture, Street Art, and Arab Emotional Realism As with other works by Marwan Shahin, Habibi: Dammed is deeply rooted in the visual language of street pop art and graffiti artwork, but with unmistakable Middle Eastern sensibility. Fairuz—long considered the voice of the Arab soul—is an apt muse for such a project. Shahin transforms her from a musical icon into a symbolic vessel for the universal experience of longing, heartbreak, and emotional revelation. Rather than idealize, Dammed humanizes. It pushes against the polished veneers of celebrity and national identity to reveal the turbulent inner tides that define the human experience. It is love not as perfection, but as a landscape of contradictions—intimate, messy, radiant, and raw. This piece is more than a portrait; it is an invitation to witness the private wars waged inside public figures, and a powerful testament to Shahin’s mastery at balancing emotion, iconography, and craft in the tradition of globally conscious pop art.

Habibi- Dame HPM Pop Street Artwork Limited Edition Giclee Print With Acrylic & Diamond Dust on Photographique Rag Paper by Urban Graffiti Modern Artist Marwan Shahin. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 33 Marwan Shahin's "HABIBI" series an iconic portrait of Lebanese singer Fairuz interpreted throughout different stages of experiencing love, This very limited edition of 33, which each print is intricately arranged with a filigree of Diamond Dust to produce visually intoxicating kaleidoscope-like effects. Habibi: Dame by Marwan Shahin – A Diamond-Dusted Tribute to Love and Legacy Marwan Shahin’s Habibi: Dame stands as a visually powerful homage to Fairuz, the legendary Lebanese singer and cultural icon. Created in 2022 as part of the HABIBI series, this limited edition of only 33 signed and numbered pieces showcases Shahin’s unique ability to fuse emotive portraiture with contemporary street pop art aesthetics. Executed as a Giclée print on Photographique Rag and hand-embellished with acrylic and diamond dust, the piece exudes both reverence and modern flair, embodying the enduring spirit of Fairuz through a modern visual dialect. The artwork presents a stark, black-and-white depiction of Fairuz’s face, defined by Shahin’s signature optical linework and dramatic lighting. Her gaze is upward, expressive, and timeless, framed by circular ripple-like waves that echo the tonal warmth and resonance of her voice. The intricate line patterns across her hair and facial features offer a hypnotic rhythm that feels simultaneously vintage and futuristic, aligning the singer’s cultural memory with contemporary visual form. The use of minimal color and strong contrast gives the image its compelling clarity, allowing every curve and contour to stand out in an almost celestial glow. A Modern Saint in Pop Art Halo Fairuz is one of the most celebrated voices in Arab music history, often considered a unifying figure across the Middle East. Shahin, an Egyptian artist known for his ability to recontextualize cultural figures through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artwork, elevates her to icon status in a way that transcends time and borders. By using diamond dust across select areas of the portrait, the piece gains a luminous, tactile quality that mimics the glittering impact of her presence in the Arab world. This glimmer isn’t just decorative—it deepens the aura, transforming the piece into a sacred relic of cultural devotion. The title Dame adds to this reverence. It places Fairuz not just in the pantheon of global musical excellence but frames her as a matriarchal force in Arab identity and artistic resilience. The halo-like rings behind her head subtly reference both vinyl records and saint-like iconography, creating an aesthetic bridge between musical legacy and divine inspiration. Love, Heritage, and the Heart of the HABIBI Series Marwan Shahin’s HABIBI series is rooted in the emotional spectrum of love, from longing to celebration, heartbreak to transcendence. In Dame, that emotionality is steeped in admiration and memory. This series doesn’t merely romanticize—it archives the phases of affection and cultural passion through a distinctly Arab pop lens. Shahin’s style, which blends traditional engraving techniques with a street-art pulse, allows this work to function both as personal expression and public monument. For collectors and fans of graffiti artwork and modern Arab aesthetics, Habibi: Dame offers a rare chance to own a piece of meaningful history—one that sits at the intersection of timeless music, visual innovation, and deeply rooted cultural reverence. The work affirms Shahin’s position as a voice for a new generation of Middle Eastern artists who navigate identity, nostalgia, and beauty through boundary-pushing visual storytelling.

Reverend Horton Heat Tenderloin Twang Rang Hi-Fi 1994 Chicago IL Silkscreen Print by Frank Kozik Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 1994 Signed by Kozik & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 22x18 Silkscreen Print Band Gig Poster by Frank Kozik. Reverend Horton Heat Tenderloin Twang Rang Hi-Fi Road Burners Metro Chicago, Illinois 9-17-1994 The "Reverend Horton Heat Tenderloin Twang Rang Hi-Fi 1994 Chicago IL" silkscreen print is a vibrant representation of the intersection where music meets visual art, crafted by the renowned artist Frank Kozik. Dated in 1994, this limited edition piece, with only 500 signed and numbered prints, captures the essence of the concert gig poster with a distinct pop art flair. Measuring 22x18 inches, it was created to promote a live music event on September 17, 1994, featuring the Reverend Horton Heat alongside Tenderloin and Twang Rang Hi-Fi Road Burners at the Metro in Chicago, Illinois. Kozik's use of bold colors and a cartoonish fox wearing a cowboy hat embodies the energy and eccentricity of the bands, particularly the headlining psychobilly band known for its lively and raucous performances. This artwork is more than a mere announcement of an event; it is a piece of history, a testament to the culture of the mid-90s, and a collector's item for enthusiasts of music, pop art, and street art alike. Frank Kozik's style is evident in the poster's design, which features thick outlines, flat areas of color, and an absence of shading reminiscent of comic book art—a hallmark of Kozik's work. Such posters are not only advertisements but also artifacts of cultural significance. They represent a time when street art was becoming increasingly recognized as a legitimate art form, blurring the lines between the highbrow and the accessible, the elite and the streetwise. These prints also speak to the nature of street art's fleeting existence. While street art is often temporary, subject to the whims of weather and the ever-changing urban landscape, silkscreen prints like this capture ephemeral quality and preserve it in a form that can be collected, traded, and displayed. Kozik's work, especially this print, serves as a physical snapshot of the street art movement as it began to infiltrate and influence the broader pop culture, reflecting a time when the underground started to surface and claim space on the walls of fans and collectors worldwide.

Habibi- Demon HPM Pop Street Artwork Limited Edition Giclee Print With Acrylic & Diamond Dust on Photographique Rag Paper by Urban Graffiti Modern Artist Marwan Shahin. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 33 Marwan Shahin's "HABIBI" series an iconic portrait of Lebanese singer Fairuz interpreted throughout different stages of experiencing love, This very limited edition of 33, which each print is intricately arranged with a filigree of Diamond Dust to produce visually intoxicating kaleidoscope-like effects. Habibi: Demon by Marwan Shahin – The Darkest Mirror of Love Habibi: Demon by Marwan Shahin erupts as the most confrontational piece in his HABIBI series—a raw, unflinching portrayal of love at its most distorted and destructive. Signed and numbered in a limited edition of just 33 prints, this 2022 hand-embellished Giclée on Photographique Rag Paper combines acrylic and diamond dust with a violent visual vocabulary that stands apart from the rest of the collection. With sharp chromatic contrast, hallucinatory linework, and surreal horror-inspired iconography, Shahin captures a love that has curdled into obsession, vengeance, or emotional decay. At the center of the artwork, the face of legendary Lebanese singer Fairuz has been transfigured into a blazing red skull—eyes piercing, lips peeled into a skeletal grimace, and crowned with menacing horns. The symbolic use of red and black conjures danger, rage, and forbidden power, while the swirling cyan background draws viewers into a disorienting emotional vortex. This composition demands attention, not just for its aesthetic strength but for its thematic force: the seduction and toxicity of love once it crosses into the realm of self-destruction. Symbolic Violence and Cultural Reverberations Marwan Shahin reconfigures Fairuz—an icon of romantic melancholy and poetic longing—into a demonic muse, embodying how love can take the shape of madness, control, or spiritual fragmentation. The transformation is not arbitrary. In the arc of the HABIBI series, Demon represents the terminal stage of the romantic cycle Shahin has mapped: from yearning to revelation, and finally to emotional collapse. Here, Fairuz’s visage is consumed by inner turmoil, visually echoing the emotional scars hidden behind public personas and cultural expectations. The visual aggression is softened only slightly by the shimmering presence of diamond dust, which adorns the background with hypnotic glints. This layering of glamor over decay echoes the duality present throughout Shahin’s work: beauty masking suffering, intimacy corrupted by ego, and memory crystallized through trauma. Shahin’s use of optical patterns and stylized textures transforms this portrait into a kaleidoscope of chaos—modern love painted with a gothic pulse. A Masterstroke of Street Pop Art and Emotional Brutalism Habibi: Demon is not just a pop culture remix or an experimental graffiti artwork. It is an unfiltered emotional statement rendered through the language of street pop art, executed with exacting technique and deep psychological insight. Shahin’s graphic mastery—a blend of Middle Eastern visual heritage, revolutionary symbolism, and Western pop iconography—makes this print both a compelling piece of visual culture and an emotional weapon. In street pop art, artists often immortalize heroes, satirize leaders, or reframe history. But in this work, Shahin elevates emotional pain itself into the subject. The skeletonized Fairuz isn’t a caricature or villain. She is an archetype—the demon we all face when we confront the shadow side of our own desires, betrayals, and heartbreaks. This piece dares to say what others don’t: that love, when twisted, can become monstrous—and that there is strange, terrifying beauty in that truth. Habibi: Demon is a defiant addition to any serious collection of pop art or graffiti artwork, and a statement on the emotional extremes that define both human relationships and modern iconography.

"The 'Cut The Record' series was made solely for this release and was part of my most recent exhibition Remix. This was a very personal series for me, as I selected 10 of my favorite musicians to portray and Remix. All of the 10 musicians I selected to make for this series are personal favorites of mine. Music I actually listen to on a day-to-day basis. For my exhibition, I kinda tweaked the meaning of Remix to fit the swapping and sampling of different, but similar pieces of woodcuts I had made on the pieces. With the 10 musicians, I selected for the 'Cut The Record' series each has either had their music remixed and or remixed music themselves. Since Illmatic Album in 1994, I don’t think a week has gone by since I’ve listened to that album. One of my favorite albums." - Above
