Cope2- Fernando Carlo Consistency 5 Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Cope2- Fernando Carlo
Consistency- 5 Original Painting Spray Paint, Acrylic, Mixed Media on Cradled Wood Panel by Cope2 Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. In recent years Cope2 has been commissioned by Time Magazine, Converse, Adidas among others. His work has even crossed into the virtual realm with appearances in video games such as Mark Eckos: Getting up and Rockstar Games: Grand Theft Auto IV. During the mid-1990s Cope2 started slowly transitioning from the streets to the art scene of the galleries. At that time, street art was not as popular as it is in our days and the general public’s idea of it was still inextricably connected to ghettos, drug dealing, etc. The artist has never hidden his troubling past and avoids idealizing it, as a way to enhance his career and artistic persona. On the contrary, he mentions the following: “Oh man, there’s nothing to be proud of in hustling, but I had my first child at the age of 16, my son. So I had to make money to support him and his mother.

Askew One Diaspora Tolu Original Enamel Acrylic Painting by Askew One
Diaspora Tolu Original Painting Enamel and Acrylic on Plexiglass by Askew One Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Original Painting Artwork Size 20x14 Custom Framed "Back in April/May of 2014, I spent around 6 weeks based in Los Angeles making these paintings for my solo show at Known Gallery. I was living and working above the TSL store, trying my best to make enough work to fill the space which was a pretty daunting task. The pieces themselves are a combination of head portraits painted in what I would say are my signature style and then also a series of smaller abstract works that signify the idea of migration through the Pacific, both in a historic and recent sense. The model for the portraits was my friend Sereima aka Stelly, who’s Sydney-based and of Fijian descent. To me, she really represents the changing face of the Pacific in many ways. Following on from a really successful show in Sydney, ‘The Evolving Face’ I wanted to move away from the mugshot poses of the previous body and bring more attitude and exuberance and Sereima was perfect because she is the absolute embodiment of those things." - Askew One Diaspora Tolu Original Painting by Askew One Diaspora Tolu is a vibrant and thought-provoking 2015 original painting by renowned graffiti and Street Pop Art artist Askew One.

The series draws inspiration from Sereima, a Sydney-based model of Fijian descent, who represents the evolving face of the Pacific. Askew One sought to move beyond traditional portraiture and infuse his work with energy and exuberance, which is reflected in the swirling lines, dynamic shapes, and vivid color palette of Diaspora Tolu. This piece captures the rhythm and motion of migration, embodying both historical journeys and contemporary cultural exchanges. Artistic Techniques in Diaspora Tolu Diaspora Tolu exemplifies Askew One’s mastery of combining graffiti-inspired techniques with sophisticated artistic methodologies. The use of enamel and acrylic on plexiglass creates a luminous, glossy surface that enhances the vibrancy of the colors. Bold strokes of pink, green, and blue intersect with precise geometric patterns, creating a sense of movement and energy. The circular composition within the work emphasizes continuity and connection, drawing viewers into its layered narrative. The artist’s graffiti roots are evident in the dynamic linework and spontaneous energy of the piece, while the meticulous execution demonstrates his dedication to craftsmanship.

Diaspora Tolu bridges the gap between urban art and fine art, making it an exemplary piece of Street Pop Art. The Significance of Diaspora Tolu Diaspora Tolu is a powerful representation of Askew One’s ability to use art as a medium for storytelling and cultural dialogue. The work captures the fluidity of identity in a world shaped by migration, celebrating the interconnectedness of the Pacific’s diverse cultures. Its vibrant colors and abstract design speak to both the challenges and beauty of movement and transformation.

Created as a hand-painted multiple (HPM) and a part of a limited edition series, this work reflects the artist's critical eye on societal issues, employing a combination of stencil artistry, spray paint, and acrylic techniques to render his vision on an 11x14 inch board. Frost's piece is bold in its aesthetic and message, immediately capturing attention with the stark contrast of the black and white imagery juxtaposed with the striking red accents. The presence of the word "WAR" in capital letters alongside the words "CONTROLLED DRUG" and "KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN" suggests a powerful commentary on the nature of conflict and the pharmaceutical industry's role in society. As an Artist Proof (AP) in 2023, it is marked distinct from the total run of 10 with an additional 2 APs, signifying its rarity and the artist's direct involvement in its creation. Techniques and Style Frost is renowned for his street pop art and graffiti artwork, which often utilizes the visual language of advertising and consumerism to explore deeper themes. The "War 100 Tablets" is a clear example of this, as it mimics the look of a medication box, suggesting that war is being 'sold' to the public much like any over-the-counter drug. The stencil technique used by Frost is a hallmark of street art, allowing for sharp, precise lines often associated with mass-produced items, further emphasizing the piece's commentary on commercialism. The artist's use of spray paint and acrylic lends the work a textured, layered look characteristic of graffiti art. This blend of materials and techniques is a deliberate choice by Frost to blur the lines between high art and street art, creating a piece that is accessible yet complex, with a finish that invites closer inspection. Cultural Impact and Collectibility Frost's "War 100 Tablets" is a visually striking piece and a collectible item within the art community. The limited number of panels produced, coupled with the hand-painted aspect, ensures that each piece within the series is unique. The AP designation indicates that the artist kept this piece as proof, marking it as an essential part of the edition's history. Collectors and enthusiasts of street pop art and graffiti artwork are often drawn to such pieces for their cultural relevance, investment potential, and as a means of supporting the arts. Frost's wWithical edge and contemporary style appeal to Frost's work to those looking to own art that speaks to the zeitgeist of the current era. Legacy and Influence Ben Frost's work, including "War 100 Tablets," contributes to the ongoing dialogue about the intersection of art, commerce, and social issues. By bringing the techniques and styles of street art into a fine art context, he challenges preconceived notions about the value and message of graffiti and street pop art. The artist's signature on the piece is a testament to its authenticity and his reputation in the art world, ensuring that it will remain a significant work for years to come. The "War 100 Tablets AP HPM Stencil on Board" by Ben Frost is a poignant critique of modern society, utilizing the visual strategies of street pop art and graffiti artwork to engage with contemporary issues. Its creation as a hand-painted multiple adds to its exclusivity and allure, marking it as a significant piece within the modern pop art movement and a valuable collector's item.

Adam Caldwell's "Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage": A Fusion of Historical Narratives and Contemporary Art Adam Caldwell's original painting, "Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage," is a poignant representation of his unique ability to intertwine historical narratives with the contemporary visual language of pop dystopian art. This 2022 signed Artwork, an 11x14 oil and mixed media on canvas, exemplifies Caldwell's profound engagement with the past and present, creating a visually striking and emotionally resonant dialogue. His approach to pop, street, and graffiti art transcends conventional boundaries, allowing for a multi-layered exploration of theme and form. The Artwork, ready to hang, presents a haunting image of Mme Roland, a figure from the French Revolution, enveloped in what appears to be a shroud, her gaze obscured yet evocative. Caldwell's use of mixed media enhances the textural depth of the piece, inviting viewers to ponder the interplay between the tangible brushstrokes on canvas and the historical weight of the subject matter. The fragmented and abstracted elements surrounding the central figure reflect the chaos and turmoil of Mme Roland's time. Yet, they resonate with the complexities of the modern era, suggesting parallels between the two. In Caldwell's work, the canvas becomes a site where the lines between street pop art and traditional oil painting blur, creating a space where the echoes of history meet the aesthetics of modern-day graffiti and pop art. The layering of media and imagery in "Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage" is characteristic of Caldwell's style, which often features a juxtaposition of classical and contemporary elements, hinting at the cyclical nature of societal struggles and the perennial quest for justice and freedom. The painting stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of historical figures and events in the discourse of modern art, particularly within the realms of pop and street art, which have traditionally served as platforms for social commentary and critique. Caldwell's work invites reflection on the lessons of history, the enduring spirit of revolutionary figures, and the role of art as a medium for examining and understanding the human condition. In essence, Adam Caldwell's "Mme Roland in the Prison of Pelage" is more than just a painting; it is a narrative captured in oil and mixed media, a statement on the continuum of history, and a reflection of the power of art to encapsulate both the specific and the universal. Through works like this, Caldwell continues to push the boundaries of what pop art can convey, bridging the gap between the past and the present, the historical and the contemporary, the classical and the street.

Subway Series- 10 Photo Original OTP Archival Pigment Print on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Cope2 Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2010 Signed Orignal 1 of 1 Unique Subway Graffiti Photo Framed “I’ve always wanted to do a show like this. Lately, I have transitioned mostly into mixed media paintings, but I’ve been doing hardcore graffiti, if you want to call it that, for thirty-plus years. It’s what made me Cope2. But me, I like to change it up and show all my different styles. So with this show, I’m able to show my evolution of style and how I’ve progressed. “Versatile” shows where I came from and what I’m doing now,” Cope2 said from his studio in New York. -Cope2 During the mid-1990s Cope2 started slowly transitioning from the streets to the art scene of the galleries. At that time, street art was not as popular as it is in our days and the general public’s idea of it was still inextricably connected to ghettos, drug dealing, etc. The artist has never hidden his troubling past and avoids idealizing it, as a way to enhance his career and artistic persona. On the contrary, he mentions the following: “Oh man, there’s nothing to be proud of in hustling, but I had my first child at the age of 16, my son. So I had to make money to support him and his mother.

Askew One Diaspora Rua Original Enamel Acrylic Painting by Askew One
Diaspora Rua Original Painting Enamel and Acrylic on Plexiglass by Askew One Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Original Painting Artwork Size 20x14 Custom Framed "Back in April/May of 2014, I spent around 6 weeks based in Los Angeles making these paintings for my solo show at Known Gallery. I was living and working above the TSL store, trying my best to make enough work to fill the space which was a pretty daunting task. The pieces themselves are a combination of head portraits painted in what I would say are my signature style and then also a series of smaller abstract works that signify the idea of migration through the Pacific, both in a historic and recent sense. The model for the portraits was my friend Sereima aka Stelly, who’s Sydney-based and of Fijian descent. To me, she really represents the changing face of the Pacific in many ways. Following on from a really successful show in Sydney, ‘The Evolving Face’ I wanted to move away from the mugshot poses of the previous body and bring more attitude and exuberance and Sereima was perfect because she is the absolute embodiment of those things." - Askew One Diaspora Rua Original Painting by Askew One Diaspora Rua is a captivating 2015 original painting by renowned graffiti and Street Pop Art artist Askew One. Created using enamel and acrylic on plexiglass, this piece showcases Askew One’s ability to combine bold abstraction with cultural commentary. Custom framed and measuring 20x14, this signed artwork forms part of a series that explores themes of migration and identity in the Pacific. The work’s intricate layering and dynamic patterns make it a striking example of Askew One’s innovative approach to modern pop art. The Concept Behind Diaspora Rua Diaspora Rua was conceived during a significant period in Askew One’s career, while he was preparing for a solo exhibition at Known Gallery in Los Angeles. Spending six weeks immersed in the creative process, Askew One developed a series that blended head portraits and abstract works. This series reflects the idea of migration across the Pacific, both from a historical and contemporary perspective. Diaspora Rua, as part of the abstract works in this series, signifies the movement of people and cultures, using bold shapes and vivid colors to convey the fluidity and energy of migration. The series draws inspiration from Sereima, a Sydney-based model of Fijian descent, who represents the evolving identity of the Pacific. Her energy and cultural background informed much of the work, embodying the intersection of traditional and modern influences. Askew One’s shift away from mugshot-style portraits to more dynamic compositions reflects his desire to capture not only the visual aspects of identity but also its inherent vibrancy and transformation. Artistic Techniques in Diaspora Rua Diaspora Rua exemplifies Askew One’s mastery of combining graffiti-inspired techniques with refined artistic practices. The use of enamel and acrylic on plexiglass creates a sleek, glossy finish that enhances the vibrancy of the colors. The circular design within the painting draws the viewer’s attention inward, evoking a sense of motion and connection. The layering of shapes and patterns, along with the contrast of neon hues against black, creates a compelling visual narrative. This work is emblematic of Street Pop Art’s ability to transform everyday materials into fine art. The influence of graffiti is evident in the bold lines and spontaneous energy of the composition, while the meticulous execution speaks to Askew One’s dedication to craftsmanship. The abstract nature of Diaspora Rua allows it to transcend literal representation, engaging viewers in a deeper exploration of its themes. The Cultural Significance of Diaspora Rua Diaspora Rua stands as a testament to Askew One’s commitment to using art as a means of storytelling and cultural preservation. Through its abstract forms and vibrant colors, the painting captures the spirit of migration and the interconnectedness of cultures in the Pacific. It reflects the evolving identity of the region, celebrating its history while embracing its modern, dynamic nature. As part of a pivotal series in Askew One’s career, Diaspora Rua highlights the artist’s ability to merge personal narrative with broader cultural themes. Its combination of bold aesthetics and meaningful content ensures its place as a significant piece within contemporary Street Pop Art.

Adam Caldwell Castle Original Mixed Media Painting by Adam Caldwell
Castle Original One of a Kind Mixed Media & Oil Painting Artwork on Canvas by Modern Pop Dystopian Artist Adam Caldwell. 2022 Signed 11x14 Oil Mixed Media on Canvas Original Painting Ready to Hang Artwork. Adam Caldwell's Castle A Convergence of Chaos and Order in Art "Castle," an original mixed media and oil painting on canvas by Adam Caldwell, is a profound one-of-a-kind artwork that captures the intricate balance between chaos and order—a recurring theme in Caldwell's work as a modern pop dystopian artist. The 2022 signed piece, measuring 11x14 inches, expresses Caldwell's mastery in blending classical art techniques with modern street pop sensibilities, ready to be displayed and provoke thought in any setting. This piece is a visual narrative that conveys the tension between past and present, reality and imagination. At its center is a meticulously detailed castle, an emblem of medieval grandeur and stability, surrounded by abstract, almost violent brushstrokes that suggest a storm of contemporary chaos. Caldwell's "Castle" invites viewers to reflect on the dichotomy of the enduring structures we build—physical and societal—and the often tumultuous energy surrounding them. The castle, a symbol of fortitude and legacy, is juxtaposed against a backdrop of modernity's unrelenting and vibrant force, encapsulated in the riot of colors and textures that make up the canvas's background. Caldwell's artwork is further characterized by detailed sketches that evoke the sense of an underlying narrative that hints at the stories and histories embedded within the walls of such timeless structures. His mixed media approach, involving oil paint that gives depth and richness to the image, alongside other materials that contribute to the piece's texture and complexity, reflects the layered nature of history itself. "Castle" is a testament to Caldwell's ability to navigate the crosscurrents of street pop art and traditional oil painting. It is a visual exploration of the themes that define Caldwell's body of work: the intersection of historical and contemporary, the collision of dystopian and utopian elements, and the dialogue between the chaotic and the serene. Through "Castle," Caldwell continues to challenge and expand the boundaries of what pop art can be, solidifying his role as a visionary artist whose works resonate with the complexities of the modern age.
