The Greed Depression Large Format Silkscreen Print by NoName x Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Deckled Archival Cotton Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 80 Artwork Size 23.75x31.5 Silkscreen Print "My friend No Name and I collaborated recently on a print inspired by my cover for George Orwell’s “Down and Out in Paris and London” and our mutual irritation with greed and the brutality of many aspects of capitalism. No Name and I are both frustrated by the forces which convince much of the public to fall in line with a system that grinds them (and most of us) in its gears, and contributes to feelings of insecurity. With that in mind, don’t buy this print if you should use the money for something better or nothing at all. Should you think it over and still want a print, your money will support No Name’s public art endeavors and survival within the gears of capitalism… oh, and mine too! We both appreciate the support. No Name wrote about the print in greater depth, so I’ll let him take it from here!" -Shepard Fairey "I was introduced to Georg Orwell’s novels back in the late ’90s through my english teacher, an insignificant-looking sarcastic little man, who mantra-like implanted us the adage “use your common sense.” Nearly one decade later, I rediscovered Orwell’s books – and thoughts – through the appealing cover layout design by the kindred spirit street art activist Shepard Fairey, who I’m glad to call a friend today for many years. Shepard and I were discussing his illustration for “Down and Out” which he actually, for some reason, hadn’t made as a print edition yet. Due to the fact that Orwell’s dystopian books were/are one of the leading inspirations for our philosophy and work, Shepard offered to team up and use the illustration for a collaboration." -NoNAME

Hollow Breath Original One of a Kind Charcoal & Acrylic Painting Artwork on Cradled Wood by Popular Street Graffiti Artist Craww. 2013 Signed Original Acrylic Painting Artwork Size 23.5x31.5 on Wood Cradled Panel Ready to Hang Fine Art. Exploring the Depths of Craww's Hollow Breath "Hollow Breath," a captivating original artwork by the acclaimed street graffiti artist Craww, is a poignant example of how the raw energy of street pop art & graffiti artwork can be channeled into more traditional fine art mediums. This one-of-a-kind piece, created in 2013, is a symphony of charcoal and acrylic on a cradled wood panel, showcasing the artist's adeptness with both materials. The 23.5x31.5 inches artwork provides a generous space for Craww's dark, dreamlike vision to unfold. Signed by the artist, "Hollow Breath" captures the essence of Craww's signature style, which often features ethereal female figures enmeshed with elements of nature. The painting explores recurrent themes in his work: the duality of beauty and melancholy and the intricate dance between life and death. The charcoal lends a softness to the painting, allowing for subtle gradations and depth, while the acrylics bring a vibrancy that pierces through the monochromatic veil. Technique and Symbolism in Craww's Hollow Breath In "Hollow Breath," Craww's use of charcoal and acrylic paints is not merely a choice of preference but a deliberate decision to convey complex emotional states. The charcoal, with its smoky and diffuse quality, creates a sense of impermanence and fragility, echoing the transient nature of life. Meanwhile, the acrylics, known for their boldness and clarity, highlight the painting's focal points, such as the lilies and roses, symbols of purity and passion. The cradled wood panel serves as an ideal substrate for this piece, its solidity starkly contrasting the delicacy of the imagery. This juxtaposition reflects the contrasts found throughout Craww's work, where strength and vulnerability often coexist. The wood's texture adds an organic feel to the piece, grounding it in the natural world that frequently influences Craww's art. Craww's Unique Position in Contemporary Art Craww is uniquely positioned in contemporary art, bridging the gap between the often separate worlds of street art and fine art. "Hollow Breath" is a testament to his ability to navigate these realms, bringing street art's immediacy and authenticity into a format traditionally associated with galleries and museums. The originality of this painting and its readiness to hang make it not just a work of art but a statement piece ready to grace the walls of an art connoisseur. The sad beauty of "Hollow Breath" resonates with those familiar with Craww's work in public spaces. Yet, it also stands alone as a powerful piece of fine art, inviting interpretation and admiration from viewers who may or may not be acquainted with his street art. This versatility and broad appeal make Craww's work particularly compelling within the contemporary art scene. "Hollow Breath" encapsulates the haunting allure of Craww's artistic vision, merging the fluidity of charcoal with the intensity of acrylics on a canvas as enduring as wood. This original painting is a striking example of how street pop art & graffiti artwork can transcend their urban roots to create fine art that is both profound and accessible, carrying the power to move and mesmerize within the quiet walls of an interior space.

Signed and marked by the artist, "Rock Climber PP" spans 31.5 inches by 31.5 inches and showcases Whatson's adeptness in blending giclée precision with the rawness of hand-pulled screen printing. Martin Whatson's art is recognized for its vivid portrayal of motion and emotion, often juxtaposed against a monochrome background. In "Rock Climber PP," Whatson employs an 18-color screen print on 300gsm Somerset fine art paper, a medium well-regarded for its texture and durability, which is crucial for the layered technique used in the work. The artwork is distinguished by its hand-pulled screen printing method, which ensures that each color layer is applied with personal attention, contributing to the print's depth and vibrancy. Convergence of Techniques in "Rock Climber PP" The combination of giclée and silkscreen print in "Rock Climber PP" exemplifies the convergence of digital precision and traditional printmaking. Giclée prints are known for their high-resolution and sharp detail, derived from digital printing. This modern technique allows for the gradations and nuances of the original artwork to be captured with exceptional clarity. On the other hand, silkscreen printing is a manual process that involves forcing ink through a mesh screen to create an image. It's a method deeply rooted in the history of street art and pop art due to its directness and capacity for bold, saturated colors. Cultural Impact of Watson's Work "Rock Climber PP" is more than a mere amalgamation of techniques; it is a visual narrative that speaks to the urban experience and its inherent search for meaning. The figure of the rock climber, striving upward amidst the chaotic splashes of color, symbolizes the human quest for progress and the challenges faced in the climb. This imagery represents street pop art's core themes: struggle, resilience, and the beauty found in the act of creation. The Significance of Limited Edition Prints As a Printer's Proof, "Rock Climber PP" holds a special place in collectible art. The printer or artist typically retains these proofs and are not part of the numbered edition, making them rarer than the standard prints. Collectors highly prize them for their exclusivity and the insight they provide into the artist's process. In addition, Watson's signature and the PP mark on the artwork seal authenticity, further elevating the print's value and desirability. In conclusion, "Rock Climber PP" by Martin Watson stands as a vibrant embodiment of the street pop art and graffiti movement. It captures the essence of urban art through the interplay of giclée and silkscreen techniques, resulting in an intricate and explosive piece. The print is a testament to Whatson's skillful navigation of art forms and ability to convey profound messages through his distinctive visual language. This artwork resonates with the energy of the streets and the spirit of contemporary art, encapsulating the genre's vitality.
