  • El Pulpo Silkscreen Print by DKNG

    DKNG El Pulpo Silkscreen Print by DKNG

    El Pulpo Limited Edition 1-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by DKNG Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 'El Pulpo' (the octopus), based on a recent poster we created for Slightly Stoopid & Atmosphere's performance at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. Inspired by San Diego surf culture and Dia De Los Muertos imagery, we decided on an ornate octopus and surfboard as fitting iconography for the show as well as a nice tribute to our hometown. This print is a bit of a departure for us as it’s just a one-color print, but what makes it a bit more unique is the gold leaf stock on which it’s printed. Check out a few close-up photos below of the shimmering print as well as the process video we created for the gig poster.

  • Drunken & Sunken Giclee Print by Neal Russler

    Neal Russler Drunken & Sunken Giclee Print by Neal Russler

    Drunken & Sunken Artwork Giclee Limited Edition Print on 80lb White Cougar Cover Stock Fine Art Paper by Pop Culture Graffiti Artist Neal Russler. 2011 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 10 Giclee Print Artwork Size 8x10 Exploring the Depths of Neal Russler's "Drunken & Sunken" Neal Russler's "Drunken & Sunken" is a profound artwork that delves deep into the themes of mortality and vice, presented through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artistry. This giclée print, a limited edition of only ten signed and numbered pieces, captures a stark monochromatic skull entwined with elements that suggest the aftermath of indulgence and the inescapable passage of time. Measuring 8x10 inches and printed on 80lb White Cougar Cover Stock Fine Art Paper, the piece is a testament to Russler's intricate style and ability to communicate powerful messages through his art. The artwork's compelling imagery is rich with symbolism. The skull, a universal sign of death, is juxtaposed with a bottle and web-like illustrations, perhaps signifying the trap of addiction and the suffocating grip it can have on life. Russler's use of crisp, fine lines and careful shading adds a depth that brings the skull to life, almost allowing the viewer to peer into the soul that once was. The attention to detail in the textures—from the smoothness of the bottle to the roughness of the bone—demonstrates Russler's mastery over his medium. Cultural Commentary through "Drunken & Sunken" "Drunken & Sunken" is a cultural commentary reflective of the darker aspects of society that pop culture, street art, and graffiti often explore. Russler's work challenges viewers to confront the often-romanticized view of hedonism and to acknowledge the potential for decay and destruction that comes with excess. The piece resonates with the stark realities of human frailty and the consequences of our choices, themes that are universally understood yet often left unspoken. In the context of street pop art and graffiti artwork, "Drunken & Sunken" transcends the ephemeral nature of wall art, carrying the transient messages from the streets into the permanence of fine art collections. The use of 80lb White Cougar Cover Stock Fine Art Paper ensures that the print will endure, allowing the artwork's message and aesthetic appeal to be preserved for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon. "Drunken & Sunken" is more than a mere representation of Neal Russler's artistic capabilities; it is a mirror held up to society, a sobering reminder of the depth and complexity of issues that urban art can encapsulate. Through this limited edition print, Russler continues contributing to the narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork, providing a voice that speaks to the shared human experience with honesty and artistic integrity.

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.
