Graffiti Is A Crime Sign. Graffiti as a Form of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Graffiti, often perceived as a rebellious or illegal act, has gradually evolved into a recognized form of art, gaining substantial attention in the realm of modern pop and street art. This transformation is vividly exemplified by the work of renowned graffiti artist Cope2. His piece titled "Graffiti Is A Crime 12x18-I Original Mixed Media Painting" is a striking representation of this evolution. Created in 2020, this artwork is not just a mere expression of street culture but a significant icon in the graffiti art world. It stands out as a signed original spray paint painting, featuring bubble letters on a real metal street sign. Measuring 12x18 inches, this piece encapsulates the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork, blending the raw energy of street art with the sophistication of modern pop art. The choice of a real metal street sign as the canvas for this artwork speaks volumes about the artist's intention to blur the lines between what is considered legal and illegal, art and vandalism. By transforming a symbol of authority and regulation, a street sign, into a piece of art, Cope2 challenges the conventional perceptions of graffiti. This act of repurposing a street sign, an object typically associated with law and order, into a canvas for graffiti, traditionally viewed as a form of rebellion, creates a powerful contrast and commentary on the societal views of art and expression. The Cultural Significance of Graffiti in Modern Art The artwork "Graffiti Is A Crime" is not just a physical piece of art; it's a statement about the cultural and societal impact of graffiti. Historically, graffiti has been associated with underground movements, often being a tool for the voiceless to express their opinions and emotions. However, as seen through the works of artists like Cope2, graffiti has transcended these boundaries, finding its way into the world of high art and becoming a celebrated form of creative expression. This metamorphosis of graffiti from vandalism to a respected art form is significant in understanding the dynamics of modern art. It reflects the evolving attitudes towards what constitutes art and who gets to define it. By incorporating elements of pop culture, graffiti artists have brought a new dimension to the art world, one that resonates with a broader audience and reflects contemporary societal themes. This shift has not only given graffiti artists like Cope2 a platform to showcase their talent but has also prompted a reevaluation of street art's role in the broader context of art history. Impact on the Perception of Street Art and Graffiti The significance of "Graffiti Is A Crime" and similar works in the context of street pop art and graffiti artwork lies in their ability to challenge and redefine the boundaries of traditional art. These pieces are not just expressions of individual creativity but are also powerful tools for social commentary. They represent a form of artistic democracy, where the street becomes a gallery, accessible to all, and not just the elite few. This democratization of art through graffiti challenges traditional art paradigms and encourages a more inclusive understanding of what art can be. Moreover, the increasing acceptance and celebration of graffiti art in galleries and art exhibitions signify a cultural shift. It represents a growing recognition of the artistic value and social commentary embedded in these works. The journey of graffiti from the streets to the galleries is a testament to the changing perceptions of what is considered legitimate art. It highlights the importance of context, medium, and message in the world of art, proving that creativity knows no bounds and that art can emerge from the most unexpected places. The artwork "Graffiti Is A Crime" by Cope2 is a pivotal piece in the narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It encapsulates the essence of graffiti's journey from the fringes to the forefront of modern art. This piece is not just a representation of artistic skill but a symbol of cultural evolution, challenging perceptions, and redefining the boundaries of art.

Sidewalk Closed Original Mixed Media Graffiti Artist Modern Pop Art on Real Metal Street Sign by Sonic Bad. 2012 Signed Original Spray Paint & Metal Street Sign Artwork Size 24x18 Depicting 2 1970s-80s Stylized Beat Boys, NYC Graffiti Tags & Bubble Letters on Street Closed Sign Sonic Bad's Ode to the Streets: The 'Sidewalk Closed' Series The 'Sidewalk Closed' artwork by Sonic Bad, an original piece created in 2012, infuses the rebellious spirit of 1970s and 80s street culture into a medium that is emblematic of urban restriction: a real metal street sign. This mixed media work, signed by the artist, is a striking example of how street pop art and graffiti can repurpose public regulatory objects into canvases that challenge and reinterpret their original intent. Reclaiming Urban Symbols in Street Art Sonic Bad's choice of canvas—a metal street sign—turns an everyday symbol of control into a representation of creative liberation. The artwork, sized at 24x18 inches, is vibrant with color and life, presenting a stark contrast to the sign's mundane purpose of demarcating boundaries. By painting over it, Sonic Bad claims the object for art, much like graffiti artists claim walls for their tags and murals. The piece itself is a dynamic collage of NYC graffiti tags and bubble letters, styles deeply rooted in the history of street art. It showcases two stylized beat boys, figures that resonate with the hip-hop culture that was burgeoning on the streets of New York City during the 70s and 80s. These characters are not only representations of a specific era but also symbols of the energy and rhythm of street life. The Visual Language of Graffiti and Its Evolution Sonic Bad's work serves as a visual lexicon of graffiti's evolution, encapsulating the transition from tagging—often a raw, text-based expression of identity—to more complex and stylized works. The 'Sidewalk Closed' series is particularly evocative of this shift, highlighting the movement from simple letterforms to elaborate and colorful representations that are as much about the artistry of the line as they are about the message. The aerosol paint, a medium synonymous with graffiti, brings authenticity to the piece, its drips and opacity echoing the textures of street art seen in the wild. The metal sign, once reflective and directive, becomes muted and textured under layers of paint, a metaphor for the way street art can change the nature and conversation around public spaces and objects. Sonic Bad and the Living History of Street Art Sonic Bad's 'Sidewalk Closed' is more than a singular work; it is part of the living history of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It reflects a time when street culture began to permeate every aspect of urban life, from the music that played out of boomboxes to the art that adorned the walls and sidewalks of the city. This piece is a celebration of that era, a nod to the roots of street art, and a statement on its enduring influence. The artist, by merging nostalgia with contemporary expression, invites onlookers to explore the depth and breadth of street art. Through this work, Sonic Bad not only pays homage to the pioneers of the genre but also places himself within the continuum of artists who have utilized the street as their gallery. His legacy lies in his ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, ensuring that the spirit of the streets remains vibrant and visible.

The choice of Coventry Rag paper underscores the artist's commitment to quality. Known for its durability and exceptional surface, this paper enhances the depth and intensity of the silkscreen print, allowing the stark contrasts and intricate details to resonate with the viewer. Interpreting The Possessed Triptych The Possessed Triptych is an arresting exploration of chaos, power, and human interaction. Peterson's work is often laced with themes of struggle and strife, depicting scenes that challenge the onlooker's perceptions of morality and order. This triptych is no different, presenting a tumultuous narrative that unfolds across the three panels, drawing the viewer into a world of stark dichotomies and raw emotion. Peterson's use of a limited color palette amplifies the drama within each frame, with the stark black and the warmth of gold engaging in a visual dance that is both ancient and contemporary in its expressions. The aggressive forms and the interaction of figures suggest a more profound commentary on societal structures and personal demons, leaving much to interpretation while clearly stating the pervasive nature of the conflict. The Cultural Impact of Peterson's Work Cleon Peterson's art is not created in a vacuum but is a direct response to the world around him. Much like the rest of his oeuvre, the Possessed Triptych is a bold statement within street pop art, a genre that often serves as a public forum for social critique and reflection. His distinctive style has solidified his standing within the contemporary art scene, resonating with the ethos of street art and its roots in graffiti's transgressive nature. As a visual storyteller, Peterson takes on the role of a modern-day chronicler, using silkscreen prints to document and dissect the complexities of the human condition. The limited nature of The Possessed Triptych ensures that each piece is a part of this narrative, an artifact of Peterson's artistic journey, and a snapshot of cultural discourse.

Created in 2023, this limited-edition work is a signed and numbered print, restricted to just 50 pieces, making it an exclusive collectible for art enthusiasts. Rendered in Lister’s signature glitch-style aesthetic, the artwork is printed on 300gsm hot press matte fine art paper using archival pigment technology, ensuring a strikingly vivid and durable finish.

By drawing inspiration from Murakami’s iconic Flowers, Lister brings a fresh perspective to a globally recognized symbol of joy and simplicity. His pixelated reinterpretation reflects the digital age’s impact on visual culture, while simultaneously echoing the accessibility and immediacy of street art. Lister’s glitch-style aesthetic deconstructs the forms into geometric blocks, giving the flowers a mosaic-like quality. This technique transforms the traditional flatness of Murakami’s original works into a layered, multidimensional composition. It retains the bright color palette and symmetrical patterns that define Murakami’s art while introducing a contemporary, pixel-based reinterpretation. This process of abstraction and reconstruction highlights how modern artists reimagine classic themes within new contexts, making them relevant to contemporary audiences. The Artistic Significance of Giclee Printing The giclee printing process used in Adam Lister’s Homage to Murakami is integral to the artwork’s presentation and longevity. Archival pigment printing ensures exceptional color accuracy and depth, preserving the vibrancy of Lister’s bold hues and geometric patterns. The use of 300gsm hot press matte paper adds a soft texture to the print, enhancing its tactile appeal and elevating it to a fine art standard. Lister’s decision to limit this edition to 50 pieces adds to its exclusivity, making it a sought-after item for collectors. Each print is meticulously signed and numbered by the artist, providing authenticity and a personal connection to his creative process.

Money and Power- White Hand-Pulled 1-Color Silkscreen Print on Hand Deckled 290gsm Arches Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 18x18 "Money and Power have become primary drivers in the modern world, pushing us toward a corrupt society. The days when our leaders looked out for the people's interests have become a thing of the past—replaced by the strong man who squashes the voices of dissent to set things straight. Money elects leaders; in return, they owe a debt to the people that put them in Power—enacting our new public policy of greed and gangster capitalism. We slowly accept corruption, Law slowly fades away, and people begin to feel like democracy and a fair and equitable society were always just an illusion, a dream from the past that never really even existed." -Cleon Peterson Money and Power by Cleon Peterson – White Edition of a Stark Political Allegory in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Money and Power by Cleon Peterson is a 2022 signed and numbered hand-pulled silkscreen print, produced in a limited edition of 75. Measuring 18x18 inches and printed in black ink on pristine white 290gsm Arches rag paper with hand-deckled edges, this piece delivers a powerful statement using minimalism to reveal the mechanics of authoritarian control and capitalist dominance. The design features three militarized figures marching in unison beneath a dollar-sign emblazoned banner. Each figure salutes with one hand while gripping a weapon in the other, marching in lockstep toward a future defined not by democracy or justice, but by obedience to power shaped through wealth. The precision of the stark black-on-white imagery reinforces the rigidity and dehumanization portrayed, highlighting the shift from collective governance to capitalist-driven authoritarianism. Cleon Peterson’s American Vision of Modern Power Structures Cleon Peterson, an American artist born in 1973, is renowned for his distinctive graphic style that merges the brutal directness of street art with a pop art sensibility. His works are not decorative—they are confrontational, morally urgent, and reflective of systemic violence. Money and Power exemplifies Peterson’s ability to distill complex socio-political realities into singular, unforgettable images. This white edition removes any distraction and allows the viewer to focus entirely on the content and message. The absence of color echoes the perceived erasure of nuance in modern governance, where decisions are no longer dictated by ethical considerations but by financial allegiance. Peterson uses his background in design and graffiti to strip down the message to its essence—those who control money control the message, the law, and the people. Symbolism of Marching Figures and the Banner of Capital The figures in Money and Power are reduced to symbols of conformity and control. With robotic movements and identical expressions, they act not as protectors of the public, but as agents of a system that prioritizes wealth preservation over civic duty. The gun in each hand is not just a weapon—it is a metaphor for the threat that sustains the hierarchy. The saluting gesture, typically a sign of honor or loyalty, is here rendered as a chilling submission to corrupt ideology. Above them, the banner with a dollar sign takes the place of national or moral symbols, declaring money as the new flag under which modern societies march. This image captures what Peterson describes as gangster capitalism—an economy and government fused into a singular corrupt force that erodes public agency and the very foundation of democracy. Money and Power as a Landmark of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork This edition of Money and Power exists as both a work of fine art and a political poster, calling attention to the social decay born of greed and power consolidation. It stands firmly within the tradition of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, using accessible imagery to convey truths that are often ignored or downplayed in institutional settings. Peterson’s decision to limit the edition to 75 hand-pulled prints adds gravity to its message, making each piece a personal call to awareness and resistance. As street art evolved from rebellion to collectible, artists like Peterson have held firm to the medium’s roots—using public-facing visuals to voice dissent. This piece does not seek to comfort or beautify, but to warn. It captures a world where money no longer funds democracy but replaces it, revealing a cycle where power begets power and the people are simply marched along.

Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob PP Archival Print by Shark Toof Limited Edition Print on 310gsm Museum Fine Art Paper Pop Artist Modern Artwork. PP Printers Proof 2019 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x18 Archival Pigment Fine Art. "Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob, This Is Not A Spongebob" Decoding "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob" by Shark Toof "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob" is a provocative piece by the renowned street pop artist Shark Toof, challenging the boundaries of pop culture iconography within the context of modern street art. The artwork is a Printer's Proof (PP) archival print from 2019, meticulously signed and marked by the artist, denoting its status as a rare collector's item. Printed on 310gsm Museum Fine Art Paper, this piece exemplifies the high-quality medium Shark Toof employs to ensure durability and depth of color, crucial for the archival pigment fine art that this work represents. A Fusion of Street Art and Pop Culture This piece is a testament to the collision of street pop art and graffiti artwork with mainstream pop culture symbols. Shark Toof takes the universally recognized figure of SpongeBob SquarePants and distorts it, presenting an image that both acknowledges and subverts the original character. The title itself, a nod to René Magritte's "The Treachery of Images," prompts viewers to question the nature of representation and reality in art. Shark Toof's work suggests that the image of SpongeBob we see is not the character itself but a representation skewed by the artist's perspective and the cultural context in which it is viewed. Shark Toof's Artistic Commentary In "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob," Shark Toof is not simply replicating a beloved character; he is initiating a dialogue about the saturation of media icons in society and the consumption of these images. The distortion and decomposition of SpongeBob's features invite the audience to reflect on how mass media shapes and sometimes distorts our perceptions. This work captures the spirit of street pop art by using graffiti artwork's spontaneous and rebellious essence to comment on and criticize phenomena. The layered textures and vibrant colors reveal the complex relationship between commercial imagery and artistic expression. The art piece explores the tension between street art's ephemeral nature and fine art prints' enduring quality. Shark Toof bridges two seemingly disparate worlds by choosing SpongeBob, an icon from an animated children's show, and placing it in the sophisticated realm of limited edition prints. This juxtaposition challenges the viewer's understanding of what constitutes 'legitimate' art, questioning the hierarchies within the art world. Through "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob," Shark Toof contributes to the discourse on the value and significance of street pop art and graffiti artwork in contemporary culture. By recontextualizing a figure from the lexicon of popular media, he endows it with new meaning and elevates it within the art canon. This artwork is a visual spectacle with an intellectual engagement, prompting conversations about the nature of art, media's influence, and street art's power to transform and transcend ordinary objects and characters into extraordinary pieces of cultural commentary.

No Trespassing No Graffiti Surveillance Sign.

The 2020 signed original spray paint painting features bubble letters on a real metal street sign, size 12x18 inches, boldly proclaiming "Graffiti Is A Crime." This artwork is a direct challenge to the legal and societal boundaries that have long been imposed on graffiti artists. Cope2, a name that carries weight in the graffiti world, uses this piece to confront the paradox of graffiti as an art form: its simultaneous existence as a celebrated creation and a criminal act. The medium of the actual metal street sign, an object that typically represents law and control, is subverted and repurposed as a canvas for free artistic expression. This inversion is symbolic of the very nature of street art — a medium that often exists in heavily regulated and surveilled spaces. By choosing this as his canvas, Cope2 does not just create a piece of art; he crafts a statement on the right to public space and the nature of artistic freedom. The Socio-Cultural Commentary of Cope2's Work "No Trespassing No Graffiti" is more than a visually striking piece; it serves as a socio-cultural commentary on the state of street art today. The bright colors and the unmissable bubble letters are quintessential elements of traditional graffiti, yet they stand in stark contrast against the formal, authoritative backdrop of the street sign. This contrast is a visual metaphor for the tension between the artist and the establishment, between creativity and conformity. The artwork captures what Cope2 represents — an artist who has thrived in the face of adversity and legal challenges for over three decades. This mixed media piece shows his dedication to the craft and his ability to adapt and evolve. He showcased his mixed-media the streets to a respected figure in modern pop art while maintaining the edge and authenticity of his street roots. Impact of "No Trespassing No Graffiti" on Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Cope2's "No Trespassing No Graffiti" impact on the perception of street pop art and graffiti artwork cannot be understated. It is an embodiment of the defiance often intrinsic to this genre of art. Yet, it also represents a maturation of the form, a sign that street art has claimed its rightful place in contemporary art discourse. The piece stands as a symbol of resistance against the criminalization of graffiti, urging a reexamination of the laws and cultural perceptions that govern public expression. Through this work, Cope2 asserts the value of street art as a legitimate and powerful form of social and artistic expression. The painting is a direct engagement with the viewer, a call to question and redefine the boundaries of legality and artistry. It is a bold declaration that the presence of graffiti in the public sphere can be both an act of vandalism and a significant cultural artifact. "No Trespassing No Graffiti" is a pivotal piece in the narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It is a testament to Cope2's enduring influence and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of what street art can convey. This artwork is not just a statement against prohibition; it is a proclamation of the transformative power of graffiti, its role in challenging the status quo, and its potential to change how we interact with and understand the urban landscape. It is a piece that encapsulates the complex identity of graffiti, standing as a vibrant example of the dialogue between artist, city, and society.

The use of 290gsm Moab Entrada fine art paper in "This Is America" speaks to Denial's commitment to quality; the paper's substantial weight and smooth texture make it an ideal substrate for the archival pigment, ensuring that the colors and details of the print remain vibrant over time. The Printer's Proof designation of the print is significant within the art collecting community. Traditionally, Printer's Proofs are considered rare and valuable due to their limited number and the artist's direct involvement in the printing process. Denial's decision to sign and mark each print as PP sets it apart from standard editions, creating a deeper connection between the artist and the work and adding to the print's collectability. Street Pop Art and Its Role in Cultural Discourse Street pop art, as a hybrid of pop art's focus on mass culture and street art's raw, public-facing expression, has become an influential force in cultural discourse. Artists like Denial leverage the visibility and accessibility of street art to bring critical social issues to the forefront of public consciousness. "This Is America" serves as a visual catalyst for discussions about race, equality, and the American dream, effectively using the visual language of pop art to engage a broad audience in these conversations. The piece's direct and aggressive style is characteristic of street pop art's ability to challenge perceptions and inspire dialogue. Denial's work, particularly in this print, harnesses the power of graphic representation to address complex societal issues, making it a poignant example of how art can reflect and influence the times. In sum, "This Is America" by Denial is more than just a piece of modern artwork; it is a statement, a question, and a reflection of the times. Its place in the continuum of street pop art and graffiti artwork is solidified by its provocative imagery and the discussions it sparks. As a PP archival print, it stands as a testament to the enduring power of visual art to comment on and engage with the pressing issues of the day.

Police Shooting Black Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson on Hand Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2015 Signed & Numbered Cleon Peterson Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 14x18 Silkscreen Print. Cleon Peterson's 2015 Silkscreen Print “Police Shooting Black” – A Stark Voice in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Cleon Peterson’s 2015 limited edition silkscreen print titled Police Shooting Black is a powerful example of politically charged Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork that holds nothing back. Printed on hand-deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag fine art paper, this 14 x 18 inch piece was released in a signed and numbered edition of 150. The print is rendered in stark black silhouette, showing a faceless police officer mid-strike over a defenseless figure on the ground. Peterson employs a style that is instantly recognizable—clean, aggressive, and intentionally stripped of detail to focus entirely on the narrative of power, submission, and societal conflict. It is more than a commentary. It is a visual confrontation. Cleon Peterson: American Artist With a Vision Rooted in Violence and Power Dynamics Cleon Peterson was born in 1973 in the United States and continues to create work that deeply engages with themes of chaos, institutional abuse, and systemic violence. A former street artist who has also worked in illustration and fashion, Peterson often centers his practice around the representation of violent struggle. His works are filled with archetypal figures that reenact the brutal power plays of modern society. Police Shooting Black stands out in his body of work not only for its limited edition fine art format but for its focused depiction of racialized police violence. It is not an ambiguous image. The figures speak with immediacy, channeling real-world incidents into high-contrast allegory. The facelessness of both the oppressor and the oppressed creates a disturbing universality, implicating systems rather than individuals. The Visual Economy of Violence in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork This print carries forward the street-level urgency found in graffiti while leveraging the formal control of screenprinting and gallery presentation. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork often borrows visual language from commercial signage, propaganda, and rebellion, and Peterson’s work is no exception. The figures are iconographic, each line intentional, each silhouette loaded with symbolic weight. Peterson reduces the image to its emotional and psychological core, amplifying the sense of dehumanization and systemic brutality. The use of black-and-white further enforces the emotional starkness while refusing to distract with color. Every inch of the composition is confrontational and calculated to provoke response, conversation, and discomfort. Coventry Rag Paper and Silkscreen Technique as Mediums of Resistance The use of 290gsm Coventry Rag paper—known for its archival quality and textured surface—adds gravity and permanence to what might otherwise feel like a transitory protest image. Silkscreen printing, traditionally used in mass production, is elevated here as a fine art method, offering precision and boldness while still invoking its underground and street origins. Peterson’s choice of material and medium serves to highlight the duality in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork: existing between gallery walls and political walls, between collectability and dissent. Each print is hand-deckled, giving it an edge—literally and figuratively—that speaks to the raw emotion and crafted message embedded in the work.

Money and Power- Yellow Hand-Pulled 1-Color Silkscreen Print on Hand Deckled 290gsm Arches Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 18x18 "Money and Power have become primary drivers in the modern world, pushing us toward a corrupt society. The days when our leaders looked out for the people's interests have become a thing of the past—replaced by the strong man who squashes the voices of dissent to set things straight. Money elects leaders; in return, they owe a debt to the people that put them in Power—enacting our new public policy of greed and gangster capitalism. We slowly accept corruption, Law slowly fades away, and people begin to feel like democracy and a fair and equitable society were always just an illusion, a dream from the past that never really even existed." -Cleon Peterson Money and Power by Cleon Peterson – Yellow Edition Silkscreen Print in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Money and Power by Cleon Peterson is a visually forceful hand-pulled 1-color silkscreen print produced in a striking yellow edition. Created in 2022 as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 75, this 18x18 inch artwork is printed on 290gsm Arches rag paper with hand-deckled edges, reinforcing its raw and crafted authenticity. Set against a saturated yellow background, the black silhouettes of uniformed figures march in unison beneath a banner marked with a dollar sign. This aggressive formation of faceless, weapon-bearing agents symbolizes how capital and authority have become intertwined forces shaping modern life. The contrast of black on yellow sharpens the urgency of the message, evoking caution signs and industrial warnings, reflecting the dangers of unchecked power. It is a bold statement, stark and deliberately unambiguous in its critique of political and economic systems. Cleon Peterson’s Visual Protest Against Gangster Capitalism American artist Cleon Peterson, born in 1973, has become known for creating art that exposes the mechanics of dominance, submission, and systemic violence. In Money and Power, Peterson addresses what he terms gangster capitalism—the merging of financial interest and authoritarianism. This yellow edition is not merely an aesthetic variation; it magnifies the intensity of the warning. The figures are rendered without individuality, acting not as civil servants or protectors but as enforcers of a corrupt economic order. Each character, with one hand saluting and the other gripping a firearm, marches without deviation under a banner where money is the emblem. Peterson’s use of militarized repetition critiques the dehumanization that occurs when loyalty is bought and dissent is extinguished by force. The visual simplicity masks a deeply complex message: society has drifted from democratic ideals into a structure where the value of life is weighed against the price of power. Symbolism and Execution in the Yellow Silkscreen Edition This edition’s choice of yellow background plays a crucial role in reinforcing the thematic content. Yellow, typically associated with visibility and warning, brings a harsh clarity to the disturbing unity of the figures. It forces the viewer to confront the image directly, without distraction or ambiguity. The hand-pulled technique and 1-color silkscreen process ensure that each print carries the physical presence of the artist’s vision, resisting digital detachment. Hand-deckled paper adds an organic imperfection that contrasts with the mechanical rigidity of the marchers, underscoring the tension between individual craftsmanship and institutional conformity. The entire composition operates as a visual manifesto, presenting a world where money is not simply a tool but a banner under which violence, obedience, and corruption are normalized. Money and Power as a Defining Work in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Money and Power belongs squarely in the tradition of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. It communicates political urgency through direct visual language, staying rooted in the protest origins of graffiti and the bold iconography of pop art. Peterson’s work challenges systems of authority by confronting viewers with uncomfortable truths, using art not for decoration but for disruption. This yellow edition distills contemporary disillusionment into one unforgettable image, showing how democracy erodes when capital becomes the highest power. As with all of Peterson’s most impactful works, it does not ask for quiet reflection—it demands awareness and accountability. It stands as a limited yet forceful artifact of protest, frozen in print but echoing across modern political consciousness.

Money and Power- Black Hand-Pulled 1-Color Silkscreen Print on Hand Deckled 290gsm Arches Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 18x18 "Money and Power have become primary drivers in the modern world, pushing us toward a corrupt society.

We slowly accept corruption, Law slowly fades away, and people begin to feel like democracy and a fair and equitable society were always just an illusion, a dream from the past that never really even existed." -Cleon Peterson Money and Power by Cleon Peterson – A Stark Allegory of Corruption in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Money and Power is a powerful black hand-pulled 1-color silkscreen print created by Cleon Peterson in 2022. Produced in a limited edition of just 75 signed and numbered pieces, this 18x18 inch artwork is printed on 290gsm Arches rag paper with hand-deckled edges, emphasizing its artisanal quality and rarity. The stark yellow figures and flag, laid over a deep black background, serve as a searing visual metaphor of political decay and societal control. With simplified, militaristic forms, Peterson’s composition marches forward in rigid formation, symbolizing a collective submission to authoritarian rule driven by capitalist greed. The central banner bearing a dollar sign encapsulates the theme in one potent glyph: money has become the new god, the flag under which societies now march. Cleon Peterson's Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork – A Violent Mirror of Power Structures Cleon Peterson, born in the United States in 1973, is known globally for his uncompromising and provocative style that merges elements of street art, pop iconography, and a graffiti aesthetic into biting social commentary. His work does not rely on subtlety but instead confronts the viewer with raw and unsettling imagery. In Money and Power, Peterson explores how capitalist motives have become indistinguishable from systems of governance. The faceless, weapon-wielding figures invoke totalitarian control, with each character's uniformity and march-step illustrating the erasure of individual thought and freedom. Peterson’s use of a single bold color evokes propaganda art, recalling wartime posters and dictatorial regimes, reinforcing the critique that today’s economic elites and political figures have blended into a single oppressive force. Money and Power as a Visual Manifesto Against Gangster Capitalism This piece stands as a visual thesis against what Peterson terms gangster capitalism. He expresses the idea that leaders are no longer elected to serve the public good but instead owe their power to financial interests. These interests then dictate policy, ensuring that the cycle of wealth consolidation and systemic inequality continues unchecked. In the artwork, the figures do not march for justice or liberty, but for power sustained by money. The gun in each figure's hand underscores how violence or the threat of it is now a normalized tool for maintaining order in this corrupt structure. As law and accountability fade, Peterson’s image becomes a grim prophecy, showing a society where control is absolute and voices of dissent are methodically extinguished. A Defining Work in Modern Political Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Money and Power exemplifies the essential mission of street pop art and graffiti artwork: to challenge viewers, provoke thought, and expose uncomfortable truths. Peterson uses minimalist design to deliver a maximalist message—every line, posture, and symbol communicates urgency and danger. The limited nature of the piece and the labor-intensive silkscreen technique elevate its importance as a collectible while preserving the raw authenticity central to street and graffiti art origins. It operates not merely as a print but as a declaration—one that distills Peterson’s disdain for performative democracy and unregulated capitalism into a concise, unforgettable image. The work’s impact lies in its clarity and its refusal to soften the critique, marking it as a seminal moment in Peterson’s body of work and a critical reflection of our time.

Non-Volley Zone II Original Acrylic Painting by Dave Pollot One-of-a-kind Artwork on Vintage Canvas Framed by Street Art Pop Artist. 2022 Signed Acrylic on Original Pickleball Paddle Reclaimed Vintage Painting Size 23x18 Including Frame. Framed Ready To Hang In a unique blend of classical artistry and contemporary wit, "Non-Volley Zone II" emerges as a prime example of Dave Pollot's vision, where vintage aesthetics meet modern narratives. This original acrylic painting showcases Pollot's signature style of repurposing thrift art, introducing unexpected modern elements to otherwise traditional canvases. Created in 2022, this work features a charming still life that has been playfully disrupted by the addition of a pickleball paddle, a modern sports reference that Pollot has cleverly incorporated into the scene. At the heart of this piece is Pollot's mastery in combining two seemingly disparate worlds. The artist breathes new life into a reclaimed vintage painting by juxtaposing the timeless beauty of a floral arrangement with the unexpected intrusion of a pickleball paddle lying at the forefront, symbolizing perhaps the collision of past and present or the intrusion of the contemporary into the serene stillness of history. The playful inclusion of the paddle is a nod to his keen eye for pop culture references, making the artwork resonate with a sense of humor and relevance. The canvas size, at a notable 23x18 inches framed, allows viewers to immerse themselves in the textural contrasts and vivid colors that Pollot masterfully preserves and enhances. His work is not merely about altering the old. Still, it is a dialogue between the original artist and himself, creating a layered narrative where every brushstroke is a word in a story that spans generations. "Non-Volley Zone II" is more than just an acrylic painting; it is a one-of-a-kind artwork that showcases Pollot's ability to transform forgotten pieces of art into contemporary conversations.

Through such pieces, Pollot establishes himself not just within the realm of street and pop art but also as a custodian of the past, repurposing it to speak to the present.

Keepers Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on Hand Deckled 300gsm Signa Smooth Paper by Artist Kevin Peterson, Street Pop Art Graffiti Legend. AP Artist Proof 2021 Signed 24x18 Signed & Marked AP Limited Edition Kevin Peterson’s Keepers: Urban Innocence and Wild Guardians in Street Pop Art Kevin Peterson’s Keepers is a 24 x 18 inch archival pigment print on hand-deckled 300gsm Signa Smooth fine art paper, created in 2021 as a signed Artist Proof. The piece depicts a young Black boy sitting between two life-sized lionesses, positioned in front of a graffitied brick wall in an overgrown urban landscape. A small bird perches gently atop one lioness’s head. The work is a stunning blend of realism and fantasy, balancing emotional weight and visual poetry through the lens of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Peterson’s signature approach layers meticulous oil painting technique over scenes marked by decay and spray-painted ephemera. The boy, dressed simply in a blue shirt and sneakers, is calm and observant, caught between the raw strength of the lions and the weathered city backdrop. His placement evokes resilience, curiosity, and alertness, not fear. The lions appear both majestic and protective—symbols of strength standing silently guard. A small crown tag painted on the wall near the child’s head further suggests that the boy is a figure of quiet power, royalty in an environment many would dismiss as ruined. The Coexistence of Vulnerability and Power Peterson’s work consistently explores the tension between innocence and chaos, often through the juxtaposition of children and animals in deteriorating cityscapes. In Keepers, the lions are not exotic intrusions but natural extensions of the boy’s presence. Their positioning and gaze imply protection and mutual trust. The graffiti behind them reinforces the setting as a lived, layered, and expressive space—not abandoned, but alive. Rather than present the street as hostile, Peterson renders it as a cradle for self-discovery and wild imagination. The inclusion of street art within the composition is essential. Tags and throw-ups become not just background detail, but active storytelling elements. The visual language of graffiti in Keepers underscores Peterson’s understanding of the street as a canvas for resistance, identity, and unseen beauty. It functions both as setting and subtext—chaotic but deeply human. The crumbling bricks and peeling paint contrast with the organic stillness of the lions, creating a dialogue between constructed decay and natural presence. Mythic Realism in Street-Informed Fine Art Though not a graffiti artist in the traditional sense, Kevin Peterson’s contribution to Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork lies in his mastery of urban allegory. His figures—often children surrounded by wild animals—are both symbolic and deeply grounded. They echo mythologies of guardianship, transformation, and sacred innocence, reframed within modern cityscapes. Keepers is both intimate and monumental, delivering a narrative that is both universal and specific. By placing a child in direct visual symmetry with apex predators, Peterson upends traditional power dynamics. The boy is neither victim nor observer—he is central, calm, and seen. The image resists the usual visual tropes of fear or wonder, opting instead for presence. It’s a portrait of strength without noise, protection without spectacle. Through realism heightened by surreal composition, Keepers offers a vision of urban identity that is fierce, gentle, and imaginatively untamed. It is a meditation on survival, dignity, and the unseen forces that walk with us through concrete jungles.
