The Shape Of Capitalism Original Hand-Painted Multiple (HPM) on Wood Cradled Panel ready to hang by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered HPM Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x24 Featuring works from Denial’s nearly decade-long career, his often satirical approach works to combat mass media, consumerism, and advertising by taking familiar imagery and objects and re-contextualizing them into unique artistic statements that drive the viewer to question the worth and difference (if any) between art and advertising. Building on a long line of pop-driven work, Enjoy Denial finds Denial harnessing the negative corporate energies spewed upon society and turns them back against the established power structures that control our everyday lives. With this exhibition, Denial peels back layers of overloaded advertising and logos to shine a not-so-subtle light on the deceptions society combats daily from corporations. Denial’s art is strongly political and social since the artist takes specific positions against issues, such as capitalism, consumer culture, and advertisements. More importantly, the artist is aware of his choices and motivations: “I like to think of myself as activist pop art. How I relate with cartoons and graphics is a lot easier than I do with photo-realistic stuff" Another aspect of Denial's work is humor. His work is satirical, which, by definition, means that it uses humor as a confronting mechanism.

Freedom For Humanity- Chrome Limited Edition Serigraph Print with Chrome Foil on Hand-Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper by Mear One Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 20 Artwork Size 20x27 "This piece, 'Freedom For Humanity,' symbolizes the attitude we should be taking regarding our rights as human beings. It's a play on George Orwell's 'Newspeak' from his novel 1984, where he combines and condenses words to create a new language. Language is so important for understanding what it means to be truly free. Yet, it is constantly being eroded, redefined, and replaced to suit the corporations and superficial consumer pop-culture trends for profit. People need translation out of our current language based on greed towards a more meaningful and insightful existence, using language based on our humanity, sharing, and cooperation. I want to inspire critical thought on the implementation of 'Newspeak' in our current Orwellian, media-blitzed reality." - Mear One. Dissecting' Freedom For Humanity' by Mear One Mear One has established himself as a consequential artist in street pop art and graffiti artwork, with "Freedom For Humanity" being one of his most compelling works. This Chrome Limited Edition Serigraph Print is more than a mere aesthetic indulgence; it is a testament to the artist's impassioned plea for linguistic and intellectual freedom. Limited to a series of just twenty signed and numbered pieces, the 2016 artwork, sized 20x27 inches, is printed on hand-deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper. This choice underscores the premium quality and the exclusiveness of the print. The Semantic Revolution Embodied in Art Mear One's creation is an interplay of visual and verbal languages, a critical response to the perversion of words in our contemporary society. This piece reflects not just Orwell's concept of 'Newspeak' but a broader commentary on the state of language and its role in human freedom. The artist's use of chromatic intensity and stark contrasts on the fine art paper is an eye-catching element of modern pop art and serves as a metaphor for the clarity and vibrancy that should accompany human communication. The central figure, a striking representation of defiance, holds a sign that boldly demands "Freedom for Humanity," symbolizing the fight against the manipulation of language by corporate and political forces. Mear One's message is clear: the erosion of language and the commodification of words for profit and power threaten the very fabric of our society. The artist seeks to inspire a reevaluation of how language is wielded and perceived in the modern age. His work implores us to transcend a lexicon rooted in greed and forge one grounded in our collective humanity. The message is a rallying cry for cooperation, sharing, and a reassessment of our values as a civilization. Embracing a New Lexicon for Human Empowerment The artwork bridges street art's raw expressiveness and the sophisticated discourse on human liberties. "Freedom For Humanity" is not merely Mear One's call to action; it is an invitation to introspect on the corporatization of our language and, by extension, our thoughts and freedoms. Through his serigraph, Mear One channels the power of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork to ignite conversation and drive change. The piece doesn't just hang on a wall; it stands on the front lines of cultural discourse, challenging the viewer to break free from the Orwellian shackles of modern-day 'Newspeak.' Ultimately, "Freedom For Humanity" is a symbolic manifesto in art form. It is a reminder of the potency of words and the significance of their liberation. Mear One has contributed a visually stunning piece to the realm of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork and embedded a profound message of liberation and unity within it. His work stands as a beacon for those who seek to understand the true meaning of freedom in a world where language is continually at risk of being co-opted by those in power.

Companion Flayed- Black 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 The Companion Flayed: An Icon of KAWS' Street Pop Art Legacy The Companion Flayed Black Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy embodies the pinnacle of KAWS' influence in modern pop and street pop art. Unveiled in 2016, this piece is a profound iteration of the most recognizable figure in KAWS' artistic arsenal, the Companion. The artist has reimagined the Companion multiple times, each version laying bare a new facet of its symbolic resonance. The flayed version, particularly in its stark black form, invites viewers to peer beneath the surface, literally and metaphorically, into the layers composing this contemporary icon. Measuring 10.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 inches, the Companion Flayed stands as a testament to KAWS' ability to manipulate form and content to produce artworks that speak to a generation conversant in the visual language of design, pop culture, and street aesthetics. This series, including full-bodied and flayed versions of the classic character, was released in conjunction with KAWS's exhibition "Where The End Starts" in Fort Worth, Texas. Standing 11 inches tall, the figures were made available through KAWSONE, MoMA, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, marking a significant moment in the intersection of street art and institutional recognition. Companion Flayed's Role in the Dialogue of Street Pop Art KAWS' Companion Flayed is more than a collectible; it's a conversation piece that delves into the dialogue of what Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork can be. It's a manifestation of KAWS' unique ability to traverse the spectrum of visual art, from anonymous street tags to globally recognized sculptures. The flayed version, with its exposed internal vibrancy, can be seen as a deconstruction of the character itself and the culture from which it originates. The black color of the figure contrasts with the colorful internal details, creating a visual dialogue between the seen and unseen, the external persona, and the internal complexity. The release of this series through prominent art institutions and KAWS' platform, KAWSONE, reflects the evolving landscape where street-inspired art is as much at home in the museum as on the urban wall. It underscores the fluidity of KAWS' art, capable of eliciting a sense of familiarity while challenging perceptions with its dissected form. This feature has become a recurrent theme in his work. KAWS' Impact on the Art Toy Movement and Beyond The Companion Flayed Black Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy is emblematic of KAWS' impact on the burgeoning art toy movement. This movement sees the toy as a canvas for artistic expression, a medium that allows the artist to explore form, concept, and accessibility in new ways. Through figures like the Companion Flayed, KAWS has been pivotal in pushing the boundaries of this movement, garnering attention not only from the realms of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork but also from the wider art community and popular culture. The release of this collectible in a limited open edition signifies the democratizing vision KAWS has for art. While each piece holds the allure of exclusivity, the forthcoming edition format ensures it remains within reach for a diverse audience, aligning with the ethos of street art's accessibility. With its distinctive cross-eyed face and x-ed-out eyes, the Companion Flayed has transcended its role as mere merchandise to become an essential touchstone in contemporary art, embodying the interplay between mass culture and high art that defines KAWS' oeuvre.

Can't Sleep Clowns Will Eat Me- 17 x 17 Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Museum Natural Fine Art Paper by Ben Frost Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "The world is run by clowns. Moronic and colorful, they dance across our television screens touting surreal propaganda and advertising slogans in a bizarre theatrical performance without intermission. No wonder I have trouble sleeping.? I use mini-dialogues that come together to make up an overall pastiche, that reflects how I see the world – especially as it is delivered to us through the media. In these 'mash-up' paintings, countless characters exist and interact within the same picture plane, to create a frenetic snapshot of the chaos that we endure in our every-day lives. " - Ben Frost Ben Frost is utilizing imagery familiar to western culture in order to make a statement about the culture itself on the basis of consumerism, modern icons, big corporations, etc. Animation characters, pop icons, brand logos, and many more are transformed into vibrant artworks and find their place in galleries. With this in mind, and in the case of Ben Frost, it is futile to try to identify a clear borderline between low and high art. In reality, the artist wants the audience to think on the terms of high or low value and, by extension, what these actually mean. Over the years street artists have managed to establish themselves as respected creators and some of them have even gained international fame, transforming graffiti from a fringe art, aiming sometimes to mark street gangs’ territory, into big business.

The show followed my 5-week residency and solo show with Inner State Gallery/1xRun in Detroit and expanded on my perpetual fascination with dualism, urban decay, and finding beauty in tragedy. 'Rise & Fall' toys with current fractures in the social fabric of urban society, such as imploding over-indulgence, fallen idols, and the detriments of pop culture." - Meggs

I Was Here Original Hand-Painted Multiple (HPM) on Wood Cradled Panel ready to hang by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 12x12 "This piece explores the longevity that graffiti is normally susceptible to.

Wolf Mandala Limited Edition 3-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print with UV Clear Layer on 90lb Black Licorice Fine Art Paper by Chris Saunders Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 24x24 "This piece was sold to a good friend of mine last year, which began as a custom commission that evolved over time. There are lots of sacred symbols that are in this piece that was created with the intention to protect the space that it is hung in. During the time I was experiencing some internal shifts that inspired me to create a piece that served as a protective guardian and the Wolf Archetype strongly embodied that quality. The Wolf Archetype to me resembles a symbol of intelligence as well as a fierce guardian. My work is about creating a reflective mirror that allows the viewer to see within themselves and evoke positive internal shifts. I’ve been exploring combining archetypal symbols with Mandalas that serve as symbols of strength to protect the space they are in as well as remind the viewer of their own internal strength and power." - Chris Saunders

The Mash- Embellished Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Archival Pigment Prints and Arcylic on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Cope2 Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "This piece was made towards the end of 2014. I was in my studio, listening to music and The Monster Mash came on. It was funny because I just started painting to the song and that's kinda how it went.This piece is more of what I'm doing today. It's kind of mashed up with all kinds of paint and different designs. It's got a lot of fo elements of what I do.It all kinda goes right. It's simple and to the point. Simplicity." - Cope2 The beginning of the new millennium found Cope2 in a different place in his career, as he started focusing more and more on ways to establish himself in the art scene of galleries and museums. Even though the artist had started working on canvas much earlier than the 2000s, it was then that he made this dynamic twist and agreed to exhibit indoors systematically. Whether you see graffiti as an expressive and lively form of art or as a form of irresponsible vandalism, one thing is certain; in recent years it has captured the attention of the general population to the world’s biggest galleries.

Le Tigre Limited Edition 8-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on 250gsm Stonehenge Fine Art Paper by Chris Saunders Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 24x24 Le Tigre Silkscreen Print by Chris Saunders "This piece is an evolution of a piece I did a few years ago that originated as a sketch. I was experiencing a massive shift in my life at the time. I was feeling a pull away from my career as a commercial artist to focus on my own art and I had a lot of fear coming up for me. Usually, when I experience these shifts I do my best to get out of my head and trust my inner guidance. That inner guidance tends to mold those experiences into the form of different animal forms that guide me through that transition. To me, the tiger represents primal instinct and being able to let go and trust yourself and fully trust your intuition. This piece looks about 100 times more amazing when you see it in person, the pics don't really highlight the layers and textural quality of all the inks used." - Chris Saunders

The Companion series is, arguably, the most recognizable aspect of KAWS' work, embodying the cross-pollination of street culture and fine art.

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.

Danger No Smoking AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print—vintage Style Lead Fual Gas Pump with Danger No Smoking Sign. "This Danger No Smoking print is inspired by a screen print I made in 1990, which was the very first image I made addressing the environmental and health hazards of gasoline. I took this photograph in Providence, RI at the edge of a desolate graveyard, which probably intensified my interpretation of the peeling paint on the gas pump as a skull. I decided the symbolism provided by natural erosion was powerful enough to make the photo worthy of turning into a print. I always liked this image, and I rediscovered it while looking for images to include in a book surveying my entire history of environmentally themed art." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Shepard Fairey's "Danger No Smoking AP" is an arresting silkscreen print that fuses the gritty aesthetic of street art with the polished finesse of fine art printmaking. Hand-pulled and consisting of five colors on Cream Speckletone fine art paper, this artwork is part of a limited edition series that showcases Fairey's unique ability to embed powerful social commentary within his art. As an artist proof from 2016, this piece is both signed and marked AP, denoting its status as a work that precedes the official production run and is often kept by the artist for personal archives or sale. This print presents a vintage-style lead fuel gas pump decorated with a "Danger No Smoking" sign—a visual that evokes the retro Americana while simultaneously commenting on contemporary environmental and health concerns. By featuring the warning signs that often accompany hazardous substances, Fairey points to the broader issues of industrial risks and public safety. This theme resonates with the essence of pop art, where mundane commercial imagery is repurposed to make a statement, and it aligns with the spirit of street and graffiti art's focus on message-driven visuals. The artwork's size, 18x24 inches, is significant as it allows the viewer to fully engage with the detailed work, including the intricate patterns that add a layer of complexity to the straightforward cautionary symbols. Fairey's work is recognized for its commanding presence, often utilizing bold lines and stark contrasts to draw attention to the subjects he depicts. In this print, the stark warning signage contrasts with the ornamental background, creating a juxtaposition that is visually stimulating and thought-provoking. Fairey’s “Danger No Smoking AP” print is a testament to his commitment to social engagement through art. It holds a mirror to society's paradoxes, reflecting the often overlooked dangers lurking behind the glossy veneer of consumerist culture. This print, rich in symbolism and executed with the artist's signature style, is a powerful addition to the discourse on pop culture, environmentalism, and the transformative power of street art.

Companion- Black 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 KAWS' Companion in the Landscape of Street Pop and Graffiti Art The Companion series by KAWS, a contemporary modern pop artist, has imprinted itself firmly into the collective consciousness of street pop and graffiti art enthusiasts. The "Companion- Black Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible" is a prime example of this, merging the commercial accessibility of toys with the avant-garde edge of art. Released as a part of a much-coveted series in November 2016, this particular edition coincided with KAWS's "Where The End Starts" exhibit in Fort Worth, Texas, marking a significant moment in his artistic timeline. This collectible stands out for its aesthetic and cultural value and as a commercial phenomenon, illustrating the intersection of art and consumerism that KAWS navigates so adeptly. With dimensions measuring approximately 10.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 inches, the Companion occupies a physical space that is both intimate and significant, allowing for a personal interaction that is often lost in more giant sculptures. The figure's striking black form is a stark canvas for its emotive detailing, particularly the crossed-out eyes that have become synonymous with the artist's work. The Significance of KAWS' Companion as a Cultural Icon KAWS' Companion, particularly in its black vinyl form, has transcended the realm of mere collectibility to become an icon of street pop art. Its appearance in various forms across different mediums—from massive sculptures to small toys—speaks to its versatility and the artist's ability to adapt street-influenced art for diverse contexts. The Companion's uniformity and the simplicity of its form allow it to become a vessel for multiple interpretations, akin to how graffiti art often carries layered meanings. The 2016 limited open edition of the Companion series is a testament to the character's enduring appeal and resonance with themes of isolation and camaraderie prevalent in street and graffiti art. The flayed versions, revealing the anatomy beneath the surface, offer a commentary on vulnerability and authenticity, themes deeply rooted in the ethos of street culture. This series, especially the black version, was made available through coveted outlets such as KAWSONE, MoMA, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, illustrating the blurring lines between high art institutions and street pop art collectibles. KAWS' Companion and the Evolution of Street Pop Art The Companion figure by KAWS is not just a static piece of art; it's a narrative, a character that has evolved and adapted over the years, much like the artist himself. Its journey from a graffitied image to a sophisticated collectible encapsulates street art's evolution into a consumable form yet retains its edge. Standing 11 inches tall, the Companion is an homage to and a departure from traditional graffiti artwork. It embodies the subversive nature of street art while being an object of mainstream desire, bridging the gap between underground art scenes and the polished world of art collectors. The release of the Companion- Black Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible was a culturally significant event, signaling the peak of KAWS' artistic influence and the growing acceptance and celebration of street pop art in contemporary society. This collectible is a snapshot of the time when street art was being redefined, no longer just seen on the walls of urban landscapes but also occupying space on the shelves of art lovers, signaling a new era of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork.

Burned Out Original Hand-Painted Multiple (HPM) on Acrylic on Laser Etched Wood Panel by Derek Hess Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Burnt Wood & Acrylic on Wood Panel Artwork Size 20x10 Ready To Display "This 'Burned Out' is burned or etched into the wood, the red on the arms I laid down with a wire brush, I worked fast with the crude tools to keep the feel consistent with the rest of the piece. The first laser-etched piece done with 1xRUN, Hemorrhage, came out so nice and true to the original that another one would be cool to try. Burned Out was a no-brainer, it's burned out.. What is cool about these pieces is they are all part of an edition, all the figures are handled the same, so it is a true edition. But at the same time, each one is unique because the red is different on everyone. What I find very cool about this piece is you get a unique one of a kind signed and numbered edition print, it's the best of both worlds." - Derek Hess

As part of a comprehensive series launched in 2016, this limited open edition piece captivates with its striking color and intricate design. Enclosed in its original, unopened packaging, the figure measures 10.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 inches and profoundly expresses the interplay between street art sensibilities and the collectible art toy market. KAWS, real name Brian Donnelly, has established a legacy of creating figures that resonate deeply with Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork motifs. The Companion, perhaps his most famous creation, has been reimagined in various forms, each revealing a different aspect of its character and the artist's philosophy. The flayed versions, such as this one in blush red, lay bare the internal workings of the figure, offering a literal and figurative dissection of its form. The Cultural Resonance of KAWS' Companion Series The Companion Flayed Blush Red Edition embodies a significant cultural moment for KAWS and the broader art world, coinciding with his acclaimed "Where The End Starts" exhibition in Fort Worth, Texas. Like its counterparts, this figure stands at 11 inches tall, embodying a commanding and intimate presence. Released through platforms such as KAWSONE, MoMA, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the Companion series signifies the acceptance and celebration of street-influenced art within prestigious art spaces. The Companion Flayed series, with its exposed and vibrant innards, is a powerful commentary on the nature of emotional and physical exposure. The blush red colorway adds a dimension of warmth and connectivity, contrasting with street art's often cold and impersonal perception. KAWS plays with the dichotomy of the inner self versus the outer persona, inviting contemplation on the complexities of identity and the facades we maintain. Impact and Collectibility of KAWS' Flayed Companions The Companion Flayed Blush Red edition is not only a visually striking piece but also one of high collectible value. The decision to release the figure in an open edition format reflects KAWS' desire to democratize art ownership, allowing more enthusiasts to possess a piece of his vision. This approach aligns with the ethos of street art, which traditionally emphasizes accessibility and community engagement. With its unopened packaging and pristine condition, this particular edition is a coveted item for collectors of modern art toys and followers of KAWS alike. The piece's aesthetic appeal and significance in the trajectory of street pop art and graffiti artwork make it a multifaceted artwork that is both a cultural artifact and a testament to KAWS's enduring impact on contemporary art.

Idiocracy AP Artist Proof Limited Edition 4-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey, Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "I’ve always felt that art, entertainment, and humor can be the best delivery vehicles for social commentary, so I love the way humor is used in “Idiocracy” to make the social critique more digestible. The movie is a harsh but necessary indictment of the anti-intellectual culture and politics that seem to become the norm more and more everyday. The film is great in a cautionary way and has an enjoyable irony being a somewhat low-brow piece of entertainment about the perils of succumbing to a cultural rejection of anything intellectual or high-brow. In other words, the genius of the film is that it may actually get through to the audience it should reach, rather than just preaching to the intellectual elite" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY The "Idiocracy" AP (Artist Proof) silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is a thought-provoking piece, symbolizing a potent blend of street art ingenuity with biting social commentary. Released as a limited edition in 2016, each piece in the series of 550 is hand-signed and numbered, affirming its exclusivity and value in the art community. Measuring 18x24 inches, this work is meticulously crafted through a 4-color hand-pulled silkscreen process onto fine art paper, a testament to Fairey’s dedication to quality and detail. Shepard Fairey, a trailblazer in the modern pop and street art scene, often infuses his work with social and political subtext. His "Idiocracy" print draws from the satirical film of the same name, utilizing its thematic core as a springboard for his own artistic expression. The movie's critique of a society in intellectual decline resonates with Fairey's own observations of contemporary culture, where anti-intellectualism is increasingly mainstream. Fairey's print channels the film’s irony, using the medium of pop art to comment on the potential dangers of a society that devalues knowledge and critical thinking. Fairey acknowledges the power of art, humor, and entertainment as catalysts for discussion and reflection on societal norms. By embedding these elements into his "Idiocracy" print, he not only captures the essence of the film's warning but also amplifies its message through his unique artistic lens. The print, which features the movie’s signature branding "Brawndo" and the tagline "It's got electrolytes!", satirically suggests that the brain craves not intellectual stimulation but rather a fictional beverage. This piece stands as a cultural artifact within the sphere of graffiti art, encapsulating the genre's inherent confrontation with social issues. Shepard Fairey's work is often characterized by its ability to transcend the boundaries of traditional art spaces, engaging with the public in environments that are unconventional yet visually impactful. The "Idiocracy" AP print continues this trend, marrying the rebellious spirit of street art with the evocative power of cinema to challenge viewers to consider the trajectory of cultural evolution.

Demagogue 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist For Musician Franz Ferdinand. Signed & Numbered Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 500 October 18, 2016 I’ve been a big fan of the band Franz Ferdinand since they first hit the scene in 2003. Stylistically, Franz mixes a pinch of glam rock, a nice serving of post-punk and a bit of dance-punk to create a sound that is irresistibly infectious. The band is undeniably stylish in their fashion and their album artwork which is frequently inspired by Russian Constructivism, one of my biggest inspirations as well. The lyrics of singer Alex Kapranos are witty, charming, and often insightful about human nature. Franz Ferdinand is a band of style and substance. -Shepard Fairey

C/S II 9-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Distressed Pearl White Finish Silkscreen Print on 250gsm Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper by OG Slick x Chaz Bojorquez Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. 2016 Signed by OG Slick x Chaz Bojorquez & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 P2 The Fusion of Styles in C/S II by OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez The collaboration between OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez on the C/S II silkscreen print represents a significant moment in street pop art and graffiti artwork. This piece, created in 2016, is a fine example of how two artists can merge their distinctive styles to create a unique work that reflects their individual artistic identities. The 9-color hand-pulled limited edition distressed pearl white finish silkscreen print on 250gsm Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and artistic vision shared by the two legends of the street art scene. OG Slick, an artist with a background deeply rooted in the Los Angeles graffiti movement, brings his iconic imagery and urban sensibilities to the piece. Known for his bold and often subversive visual language, Slick’s contribution to C/S II is immediately apparent in the stylized cartoon hands and contemporary iconography that speaks to street culture's commercial and gritty aspects. His work has often been characterized by a playfulness that belies a more profound commentary on social and cultural issues. This is evident in how he manipulates familiar symbols and characters to challenge viewers’ perceptions. Chaz Bojorquez's Signature Style in C/S II Chaz Bojorquez’s influence in the piece is equally profound. His signature style, which draws from the Cholo graffiti tradition and his sophisticated understanding of typography, complements Slick’s more whimsical elements with a sense of gravity and history. The calligraphic strokes and the intricate lettering in the background of C/S II are unmistakably Bojorquez’s, showcasing his mastery over form and ability to convey a rich cultural narrative through his art. His work captures the essence of a subculture that has often been marginalized, elevating it to a level of fine art that demands recognition and respect. The collaboration between these two artists on C/S II is a dialogue between different eras and styles within the street art genre. While OG Slick’s work is often seen as a bridge between the early days of street art and the modern aesthetic, Bojorquez represents the soulful, enduring aspects of graffiti art woven into the cultural fabric of urban life. Together, their work on this print creates a complex interplay of color, form, and symbolism that celebrates street art’s past and a bold statement about its future. Cultural Significance of the Limited Edition C/S II Print The cultural significance of the C/S II print lies in its embodiment of the spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Limited to an edition of 150, each print is signed by OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez, making it a rare and collectible piece that holds great value for street art lovers. The decision to limit the edition not only underscores the value of the artwork but also speaks to the ethos of street art, where the fleeting nature of the medium often means that works can be temporary and transient. By capturing this transient essence in a tangible form, OG Slick and Bojorquez have created a lasting artifact of street culture. The piece is particularly notable for its distressed pearl white finish, which adds texture and depth to the print. This finish gives the artwork a tactile quality that invites closer inspection and suggests a history behind the image as if it has been weathered by time and the elements – a nod to the real-world conditions of street art. The use of Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper further elevates the piece, marrying the raw energy of graffiti with the refinement of fine art printing techniques. Impact and Legacy of C/S II in Street Art and Pop Culture The impact and legacy of C/S II in street art and pop culture are significant. By bringing together two influential artists from different generations, the print bridges the early days of Los Angeles graffiti and the contemporary street art scene. It reflects the genre's evolution, showing how it can be a personal means of expression and a sophisticated art form. The print’s aesthetic, marked by the interplay of Bojorquez’s calligraphic skill and Slick’s graphic sensibility, exemplifies the potential of street art to engage with broader artistic movements and to be recognized in the wider context of pop art. As a piece of street pop and graffiti artwork, C/S II is a powerful example of the genre’s ability to adapt and grow while retaining its core principles. It is a reminder of the enduring influence of artists like OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez, who continue to shape and inspire the trajectory of street art. Through works like this, they ensure that the streets' vibrant energy, defiance, and creativity remain a vital part of our cultural landscape.

Companion Flayed- Grey 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 Exploring the Companion Flayed Grey by KAWS The Companion Flayed Grey by KAWS is a significant piece in the trajectory of street-inspired art. As a modern pop artist, KAWS has redefined the boundaries of street pop and graffiti artwork, bringing it into high art and collectible design. This 2016 limited open edition piece is a prime example of his artistry. It is encapsulated in a 10.5 x 4.5 x 2.5-inch figure that has remained in its pristine, unopened package, catering to art collectors and enthusiasts alike. KAWS' Companion has become a hallmark within his expansive portfolio, showcasing the character in various forms and mediums. The flayed version strips the character to its skeletal essence and speaks to the vulnerability and underlying complexity that street art often seeks to convey. Released with his "Where The End Starts" exhibit in Fort Worth, Texas, the Companion Flayed Grey has been distributed through KAWSONE, MoMA, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, standing tall at 11 inches. Significance of the Flayed Companion in Street Pop Art The Grey Flayed Companion is a testament to the evolving narrative of street pop art. By presenting a figure that is traditionally whimsical and playful in a dissected form, KAWS invites viewers to ponder the intersection of life's fragility and the often robust, vibrant nature of street art. The grey hue of this particular figure adds a somber tone to the piece, possibly reflecting the concrete jungle that street art often inhabits. Yet, it stands not as a mere representation of street art but as an artifact that bridges the gap between collectible toys and meaningful art. This figure is significant for its aesthetic and role in the more extensive dialogue of what constitutes art in the public realm. By elevating the Companion to a museum-worthy piece while maintaining its roots in street culture, KAWS challenges and expands the definition of street pop art. Through its release in prestigious venues, the Companion Flayed Grey underscores the permeable lines between commercial art and the fine art sector. KAWS' Companion Series: A Reflection on Modern Collectibles The Companion series, especially the Flayed Grey edition, reflects the burgeoning interest in art toys as legitimate collectibles. KAWS' ability to capture the collective imagination with his Companion figures has elevated the status of art toys, placing them on the same pedestal as traditional artworks. The meticulous design and production of the Flayed Companion Grey, with its detailed anatomy visible beneath a translucent exterior, showcase KAWS' dedication to craftsmanship and conceptual depth. Released in an open edition, the Companion Flayed Grey makes KAWS' work accessible to a broader audience, aligning with the democratic nature of street art. It embodies a fusion of street pop art aesthetics with the collectibility and desirability of limited edition pieces. As such, the Companion Flayed Grey is not jus a cultural icon that captures the essence of KAWS' impact on the art world and his pioneering role in the street art movement.
