    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Moon Over Biloxi- White Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Moon Over Biloxi- White 1-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. White Variant Signed & Numbered Moon Over Biloxi Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 200 July 27, 2010. "The title of this print “Moon Over Biloxi” is a tribute to the Dead Kennedy’s song “Moon Over Marin”. In 1984 I picked up maybe my 4th punk record which was the 2nd Dead Kennedy’s album “Plastic Surgery Disasters”. The album is a great listen all the way through and includes some blistering tunes like “Riot” and “Bleed For Me” laced with social commentary. The surprise song though is “Moon Over Marin”… detractors have called it the Dead Kennedy’s “U2” song, but I disagree. “Moon Over Marin” is more melodic than most DK, but juxtaposed with the darkness of the lyrics, the song evokes a powerful sense of existential melancholy. I think the concept that struck me, and stuck with me, is that our disrespect of each other and the planet may doom us, but things will continue without us. I think it is healthy to recognize impermanence, but also to appreciate the value of the ephemeral. Moonlight, real or electric, will probably be around, but what it will be casting light on is the real question. There will always be a moon over Biloxi." -Shepard

Symbolism and Emotional Depth in 'Gravity' The artwork "Gravity" showcases Joncas' skill in creating deeply emotive and symbolic imagery.

The backdrop of a detailed moon against the starlit sky evokes a sense of cosmic wonder, emphasizing the themes of personal gravity and the natural forces that hold us. Joncas' choice to incorporate the jellyfish, an organism that moves with the ocean's currents, suggests a metaphor for resilience and adaptability. The subject's poised demeanor and tattoo imply a narrative of flowing with life's ebbs and flows while maintaining a sense of control and grace. This interplay of strength and fluidity is a recurrent theme in Joncas' work. It resonates deeply within pop and street art, where adaptability and personal expression are essential. Technique and Craftsmanship The technique employed in "Gravity" is a testament to Joncas' craftsmanship. The archival pigment delicate art print process ensures that each stroke and color is captured with clarity, maintaining the integrity and vibrancy of the original artwork.

This 2019 Printer's Proof (PP), signed and marked as such, is a testament to Joncas' vision, limited to a rare edition, and provides a window into the meticulous process behind her work. Printed on 290gsm Moab fine art paper, the 12x15 inch piece titled 'Gravity' features a female subject that encapsulates the gravity not only of physical forces but of deep emotional currents as well. Visual Elements and Symbolism in Joncas' Work In 'Gravity PP,' Joncas captures a celestial and intimate moment. The subject's gaze is directed away from the viewer, lost in contemplation against an expansive moon and star-filled sky. The presence of the moon, a universal symbol of the feminine, adds layers of meaning about cycles, reflection, and change. Complementing this, the waves of her hair and the jellyfish tattoo on her back suggest fluidity and adaptability. The color is precise; the cool tones speak of the night and the ocean, realms of depth and mystery. This print embodies the essential qualities of pop art through its stylized portrayal and vivid imagery. Yet, it also carries the emotive weight typically found in street art's expressive tags and murals. Joncas' work is a dialogue with the observer that invites a personal interpretation of the subject's internal narrative.

The choice of pigment-based inks ensures that the artwork will endure, preserving the depth and vibrancy of the colors. The designation of 'PP' is significant, as Printer's Proofs are often reserved for the artist's collection or use as a reference in the printing process, making them highly sought after by collectors for their rarity and the artist's direct involvement in their production. The limited edition nature of Gravity PP is a hallmark of Joncas' work, mirroring street art prints' limited-run ethos and the collectible aspect of pop art memorabilia. This scarcity adds to the print's allure, offering collectors a tangible piece of the artist's legacy.

Her work, including 'Gravity PP,' celebrates the power of visual storytelling, where each element is carefully chosen to evoke emotion and provoke thought. In the context of pop and street art, Joncas stands out for her ability to convey complex themes through a single image. Her work transcends the urban canvas and enters the realm of fine art without losing the accessibility and emotional resonance that street art is known for. 'Gravity PP' is a prime example of how Joncas' art transcends boundaries, offering a narrative as infinite as the night sky it portrays.

Ocean & Sea

Maritime Motifs in Contemporary Art

The ocean has been a boundless source of inspiration across various art forms for centuries. In the domains of pop art, street art, and graffiti, it takes on a new life, serving as both subject and symbol. Artists have harnessed the allure of the sea and the mystique of its depths to challenge viewers, provoke thought, and communicate poignant messages through their creations. The vastness of the ocean is reflective of the infinite possibilities within these art movements, enabling a diverse range of expressions, from the critique of pollution to the celebration of marine life.

Environmental Commentary through Ocean Imagery

Within the urban canvases of cities around the world, street and graffiti artists employ oceanic imagery to raise awareness about environmental concerns. These artworks often feature marine creatures entangled in plastic or oil spills, pointing to the devastating impact of human waste and chemical pollutants on oceanic ecosystems. Pop artists in galleries harness similar themes, using bright colors and familiar icons to draw attention to the need for ocean conservation. The visual shock of seeing sea life juxtaposed with symbols of human negligence brings the message home to an audience that might otherwise remain disengaged from environmental advocacy.

Street Art and Graffiti: Nautical Narratives

Graffiti and street art are particularly potent in conveying narratives of oceanic proportions. They transform public spaces into forums for dialogue, bringing the narratives of the sea to those who may have never dipped their toes in its waters. These pieces range from murals of epic underwater scenes to the intricate tagging of sea creature silhouettes, each artist contributing their unique wave to the ocean of urban expression. This form of art is transient, much like the tides themselves, often here today and gone tomorrow, which underlines the urgent message of many ocean-inspired street artworks – the fleeting beauty of our seas amidst the strain of human influence.

Cultural Currents and Pop Art's Oceans

Pop art’s treatment of ocean themes delves into the cultural currents of society, making the familiar unfamiliar and encouraging onlookers to reconsider their relationship with the marine world. Iconography like the simple wave, a ship in peril, or a bottle with a message inside, become infused with new meaning in a pop art context. This artwork might be found gracing the walls of boutique seaside cafes or the galleries of coastal cities, capturing the zeitgeist of an era increasingly concerned with the plight of our planet’s waters.

Artistic Advocacy and the Sea

The unifying thread in the depiction of oceans across these art forms is the underlying advocacy for marine preservation and environmental activism. Artists like Shepard Fairey, with his "Obey Giant" campaign, intertwine commercial iconography with messages that critique consumption and environmental disregard. This approach has been instrumental in not just beautifying spaces but in steering conversations towards the health of our oceans. The sea, with its profound beauty and depth, is a powerful protagonist in the narratives constructed by these artists, a testament to the critical role art plays in echoing the issues of our time. Each wave of artistic interpretation brings the ocean closer to those who encounter it, allowing the sea to flow through concrete jungles and into the hearts and minds of an urban populace. This body of work continues to expand, driven by the tides of creativity and the currents of social consciousness, anchoring the ocean firmly in the fabric of contemporary art.
