The "rise above" is a call to take the high road with a nod to one of my favorite Black Flag songs. Peace is radical punk!" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY. Shepard Fairey's "Rise Above Bird" letterpress print emerges as a striking piece of visual commentary in street and pop art. The artwork, a limited edition hand-pulled print on cream cotton fine art paper, showcases Fairey's adeptness at blending strong messages with iconic imagery. Limited to a series of 450, each piece is signed and numbered by the artist, reflecting its exclusivity and collectible nature. The print, measuring 13x10 inches, features a bird in mid-flight, carrying a flower—a symbol that deviates from the traditional white peace dove. The image is set against a backdrop of stylistic elements and the words "Rise Above," which serve as an encouraging motto and a tribute to the artist's favorite song by the band Black Flag. This piece symbolizes Fairey's larger body of work, which often intersects with the themes of rebellion and peace, a juxtaposition at the heart of much street pop and graffiti artwork. The term' rise above' does not merely suggest an elevation in position or status; it is an ideological summons, urging viewers to surpass the ordinary, to overcome adversity, and to reject complacency. Fairey's artistry here is not just in the piece's visual appeal but also in its capability to provoke thought and inspire action. Shepard Fairey's influence in modern street pop and graffiti artwork is undeniable. His works are infused with political and social undertones, calling for a challenge to the status quo and advocating for a radical form of peace that aligns with the punk ethos. The "Rise Above Bird" is a testament to Fairey's consistent vision, which has solidified his place as a pivotal figure in contemporary art. It stands as a bold statement in the ongoing dialogue about the power of art to enact change and the artist's role in a society that often needs to be reminded to look beyond the surface.

PP Printers Proof Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 13x20 Archival Pigment Fine Art The Significance of Hip Hop's Four Elements in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Hip-hop culture has etched its legacy through its music and vibrant visual expressions, most notably in street pop art and graffiti artwork. The "4 Elements of Hip Hop" archival print by BG183 is a limited edition print that encapsulates the essence of this influential movement. Limited edition prints like these, especially those signed and marked as Printer's Proof (PP), hold significant value in modern artwork. They are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts keen to own a piece of hip-hop history. The archival print is a hip-hop iconography treasure trove, capturing the culture's four foundational elements: DJing, MCing, breakdancing, and graffiti. Each element is represented meticulously, reflecting the artist's deep understanding and respect for hip-hop. The DJ's turntables, the MC's microphone, the dynamic shoes of a breakdancer, and the vivid spray cans are all symbols that articulate the essence of hip hop's influence on street pop art and graffiti artwork. Archival prints of this caliber are printed using high-quality pigment on fine art paper, ensuring longevity and color fidelity. The size of the artwork, typically around 13x20 inches, makes it a perfect collectible that can be displayed in various settings, from a private studio to a public exhibition. The use of archival pigment emphasizes the intention to preserve the artwork for generations, a testament to the enduring impact of hip-hop culture. The Intersection of Pop Art and Hip Hop in Graffiti Hip-hop's influence must be balanced in street pop art and graffiti artwork. Graffiti, once seen as a form of vandalism, has been transformed into a respected medium of urban storytelling and expression, largely thanks to hip-hop. The artwork by BG183 exemplifies this transformation, showcasing graffiti's elevation to a form of fine art. This piece, in particular, is a striking representation of how pop art has absorbed and recontextualized the visual language of hip-hop to communicate with a broader audience. The visual elements drawn from hip-hop are melded with the bright colors, bold lines, and graphic sensibilities characteristic of pop art. This fusion creates a unique genre of art—street pop art—that resonates with hip-hop's rebellious spirit while embracing pop culture's mass appeal. BG183's print is a vibrant canvas where these two worlds collide, creating a visual dialogue that speaks to the origins of street culture and its current place in the mainstream. The value of such prints extends beyond their aesthetic appeal; they are cultural artifacts documenting hip-hop's evolution. Hip-hop has traveled a remarkable journey from subculture to global phenomenon, mirrored in the layers of paint and ink that define graffiti artwork. The PP designation indicates that this print is part of a particular subset within the edition, typically reserved for the artist and close associates, adding to its exclusivity and desirability among collectors. Collectibility and Cultural Impact of Hip Hop-Inspired Artwork The collectibility of hip-hop-inspired street pop art and graffiti artwork lies in its unique ability to capture a moment in cultural history. Prints such as BG183's "4 Elements of Hip Hop" are more than just decorative pieces; they are snapshots of a movement that has shaped generations. Collectors and hip-hop fans are drawn to these works for their visual impact, authenticity, and historical significance. These limited-edition prints bridge the gritty beginnings of hip-hop in the streets and its current status as a dominant cultural force. They are often released in limited quantities to maintain value and uniqueness, particularly for Printer's Proof prints. Owning a PP print means possessing a piece of the initial run, often more intimately connected to the artist's original vision. The "4 Elements of Hip Hop" archival print by BG183 embodies the pulsating energy of hip-hop and its indelible imprint on street pop art and graffiti artwork. As a piece of modern art, it stands at the crossroads of past and present, offering a visual narrative that is both timeless and immediate. In the hands of collectors, such prints are not only aesthetic acquisitions but also custodians of the ever-evolving story of hip-hop and its profound influence on contemporary art and culture.

Medusa Archival Print by Swoon- Caledonia Curry  Limited Edition on 250gsm Hahnemühle Fine Art Paper Pop Graffiti Street Artist Modern Artwork. 2024 Signed & Numbered Print Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 13x19 Archival Pigment Fine Art  “Medusa. I’ve always loved her. Before I knew much about her, I instinctively relished her as one of the few lasting representations of female power. But like any lasting symbol her story is complex. Violation, rage, and finally the Pegasus being born out of her decapitated neck. Her name comes from the Ancient Greek word for protector. Even in death something triumphant in her arises.” - Swoon Medusa by Caledonia Curry Swoon Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The 2024 limited edition Medusa archival print by Caledonia Curry, known globally under the artist name Swoon, stands as a commanding statement in the evolution of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Rendered on 250gsm Hahnemühle fine art paper, this 13x19 inch piece exemplifies Swoon’s ability to bring mythological, emotional, and sociopolitical narratives into a contemporary visual framework. Signed and numbered in an edition of only 50, this artwork captures both the hand-touched intimacy of Swoon's paper cut-out legacy and the permanence of museum-quality archival pigment printing. Medusa, long a symbol of feminine power and transformation, is not only visually stunning but layered with historical meaning and modern reinterpretation through Swoon’s lens. Symbolism and Form in Swoon’s Medusa The figure of Medusa, classically known from Greek mythology, takes on a new dimension through Swoon’s intricate linework and multi-layered design. The piece fuses illustrative portraiture with a swirling ecosystem of botanical, animalistic, and organic forms that seem to emerge from the face itself. There is a visual transition from solidity to abstraction that mimics metamorphosis. The hybrid elements—snakes, feathers, and anatomical structures—serve not only as decorative complexity but as conceptual nodes, referencing violation, resistance, and regeneration. This version of Medusa is neither monstrous nor victimized but sculpted into a protector figure recontextualized for the modern street art audience. The original art’s composition, pasted on a weathered wooden door, is translated faithfully in the print, preserving the raw texture and emotional weight of the original. Swoon’s Narrative Approach to Street Pop Art Caledonia Curry, based in the United States, is one of the most respected and pioneering voices in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Her practice uniquely blends traditional printmaking techniques with public art and site-specific installations. The Medusa piece aligns with Swoon's longstanding commitment to exploring the roles of women, trauma, ancestry, and healing in public spaces. Unlike conventional graffiti rooted in letterform and tagging, Swoon’s work carries a narrative depth rarely found in urban art. Her choice of subjects often reflects underrepresented voices and ancient iconographies reborn through the language of modern activism. In Medusa, Swoon reconnects ancient mythology to contemporary discourse on agency, survival, and artistic defiance. Collectible Art in the Evolution of Graffiti-Based Printmaking This print release contributes to the growing recognition of graffiti-based work within collectible fine art. Swoon has long advocated for creating affordable art editions that maintain authenticity while reaching a wider audience. The Medusa archival pigment print not only affirms her relevance within contemporary art circles but also serves as an educational artifact, inviting viewers to understand graffiti and street art not as vandalism but as a complex and evolving cultural force. As a limited edition from 2024, it bridges the world of ephemeral wheatpastes and walls with the permanence of high-end paper-based work, establishing itself as a cornerstone within Swoon's expanding canon.

Bill Graham San Francisco The Fillmore Poster F115 Red Hot Chili Peppers Mary's Danish Primus September 15 16, 1989 Red Hot Chili Peppers Primus 1989 Fillmore Silkscreen Print by Frank Kozik The Red Hot Chili Peppers Primus 1989 Fillmore silkscreen print by Frank Kozik is an iconic piece of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork that embodies the rebellious energy of late 1980s underground music and poster culture. Created for the Red Hot Chili Peppers' performance at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco, this 13x19-inch hand-pulled silkscreen print was commissioned as part of the Bill Graham Presents concert series. Featuring bold colors, surrealist imagery, and an unmistakable punk aesthetic, this piece captures the raw intensity of the era’s alternative rock movement. The inclusion of supporting acts Primus and Mary’s Danish further cements its significance as a relic of an explosive time in live music history. Visual Composition and Artistic Style Frank Kozik’s artistic style is instantly recognizable in this print, with its bold neon hues, high-contrast linework, and provocative subject matter. The composition features a flaming skeleton with an exaggerated grin, clad in a polka-dotted bikini bottom, with its tongue out in a defiant gesture. The presence of a stylized, curvy female figure in the background adds a surreal, almost psychedelic touch, reinforcing the wild, chaotic energy associated with the Red Hot Chili Peppers' music. The background consists of swirling patterns in bright pink and purple, creating a hypnotic effect that draws the viewer into the image. The heavy use of black outlines and exaggerated cartoonish elements reflect Kozik’s influence from underground comics, skate culture, and punk zine aesthetics. The typography follows a classic gig poster format, with large block lettering announcing the headlining act in bright pink against a dark background, while additional text in cyan provides details of the event. This mix of playful, irreverent imagery and structured design highlights Kozik’s mastery in blending controlled chaos with striking visual appeal. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Influence Frank Kozik’s work stands at the crossroads of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, merging countercultural aesthetics with fine art printmaking techniques. The poster's aggressive, high-contrast design is reminiscent of graffiti stencils, while the hand-pulled silkscreen process ensures that each print carries a unique, raw texture. The exaggerated punk-inspired figures, combined with psychedelic color palettes, align with the visual language found in 1980s street art and underground concert promotion. This piece reflects the DIY spirit of gig poster culture, where artists crafted promotional artwork that doubled as collectible art. Kozik’s ability to merge lowbrow sensibilities with high-impact design has made his prints some of the most sought-after in the gig poster scene. His background in self-published artwork and street-level design tactics translates into compositions that feel alive, rebellious, and unfiltered. Collectibility and Cultural Impact As an official Fillmore poster, this silkscreen print holds immense historical and artistic value. The late 1980s were a defining era for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, as they blended funk, punk, and rock to create a sound that would later dominate alternative music. The collaboration with Primus, a band equally known for its genre-defying sound, adds to the poster’s significance as a symbol of musical innovation. Frank Kozik’s gig posters have become highly collectible, with limited-edition prints from this era commanding high demand among both art collectors and music fans. The handcrafted nature of the silkscreen process ensures that each piece has its own unique character, reinforcing the authenticity and individuality of the work. Kozik’s influence continues to shape modern poster design, and this print remains a testament to his ability to translate the raw energy of live music into visually arresting artwork. This piece is not just a concert advertisement; it is a statement of the era, an artifact of underground culture, and a masterpiece within the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.
