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

Measuring 12x15 inches, "Gravity" is a powerful example of Joncas' ability to blend classical motifs with a contemporary edge, creating a piece that is both timeless and immediate. Symbolism and Emotional Depth in 'Gravity' The artwork "Gravity" showcases Joncas' skill in creating deeply emotive and symbolic imagery. The central figure, a woman with flowing hair that transitions into ocean waves, expresses reflective calm. At the same time, a tattoo of a jellyfish on her back adds an element of delicate strength. 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.

Gravity PP Printer Proof Archival Print by Sarah Joncas Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper Pop Artist Modern Artwork. PP Printers Proof 2019 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 12x15 Archival Pigment Fine Art The Allure of 'Gravity PP' by Sarah Joncas The 'Gravity PP' archival print is a compelling work by Sarah Joncas, a modern pop artist whose nuanced creations bridge the gap between the evocative nature of street pop art and the fine detail of classical techniques. 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. Craftsmanship and Exclusivity of Joncas' Prints Sarah Joncas' selection of Moab fine art paper for 'Gravity PP' reflects her commitment to quality and the archival nature of her prints. 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. Joncas' Artistic Voice in the Context of Pop and Street Art Sarah Joncas' artistic voice is a refreshing addition to the contemporary art scene, seamlessly merging the aesthetic of pop art with the soul of street art. 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.
