    Scott Listfield The Reef Giclee Print by Scott Listfield

    The Reef Giclee Print by Scott Listfield Artwork Limited Edition Print on 310gsm Museum Grade Archival Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18x24 Scott Listfield is an American contemporary artist who is best known for his paintings of a lone astronaut exploring various landscapes and cityscapes. "The Reef" is a giclee print featuring his iconic astronaut character. The print depicts the astronaut standing on a rock formation in the middle of a vast ocean, with a coral reef visible beneath the surface of the water but no its the Statue of Liberty! The sky is painted in shades of blue with wispy clouds adding to the dreamy and surreal atmosphere of the image. Listfield's use of a solitary figure in his paintings creates a sense of isolation and introspection, while the futuristic astronaut suit symbolizes exploration and discovery, sea rise & global warming. The underwater setting of "The Reef" adds a layer of mystery and intrigue to the piece, as if the astronaut has discovered a hidden world beneath the waves. Giclee printing is a high-quality fine art printing process that uses archival pigment inks to produce images with exceptional color accuracy and sharpness. This makes it an ideal medium for reproducing Listfield's detailed and intricate paintings.

  • Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob PP Archival Print by Shark Toof

    Shark Toof Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob PP Archival Print by Shark Toof

    Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob PP Archival Print by Shark Toof Limited Edition Print on 310gsm Museum Fine Art Paper Pop Artist Modern Artwork. PP Printers Proof 2019 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x18 Archival Pigment Fine Art. "Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob, This Is Not A Spongebob" Decoding "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob" by Shark Toof "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob" is a provocative piece by the renowned street pop artist Shark Toof, challenging the boundaries of pop culture iconography within the context of modern street art. The artwork is a Printer's Proof (PP) archival print from 2019, meticulously signed and marked by the artist, denoting its status as a rare collector's item. Printed on 310gsm Museum Fine Art Paper, this piece exemplifies the high-quality medium Shark Toof employs to ensure durability and depth of color, crucial for the archival pigment fine art that this work represents. A Fusion of Street Art and Pop Culture This piece is a testament to the collision of street pop art and graffiti artwork with mainstream pop culture symbols. Shark Toof takes the universally recognized figure of SpongeBob SquarePants and distorts it, presenting an image that both acknowledges and subverts the original character. The title itself, a nod to René Magritte's "The Treachery of Images," prompts viewers to question the nature of representation and reality in art. Shark Toof's work suggests that the image of SpongeBob we see is not the character itself but a representation skewed by the artist's perspective and the cultural context in which it is viewed. Shark Toof's Artistic Commentary In "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob," Shark Toof is not simply replicating a beloved character; he is initiating a dialogue about the saturation of media icons in society and the consumption of these images. The distortion and decomposition of SpongeBob's features invite the audience to reflect on how mass media shapes and sometimes distorts our perceptions. This work captures the spirit of street pop art by using graffiti artwork's spontaneous and rebellious essence to comment on and criticize phenomena. The layered textures and vibrant colors reveal the complex relationship between commercial imagery and artistic expression. The art piece explores the tension between street art's ephemeral nature and fine art prints' enduring quality. Shark Toof bridges two seemingly disparate worlds by choosing SpongeBob, an icon from an animated children's show, and placing it in the sophisticated realm of limited edition prints. This juxtaposition challenges the viewer's understanding of what constitutes 'legitimate' art, questioning the hierarchies within the art world. Through "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob," Shark Toof contributes to the discourse on the value and significance of street pop art and graffiti artwork in contemporary culture. By recontextualizing a figure from the lexicon of popular media, he endows it with new meaning and elevates it within the art canon. This artwork is a visual spectacle with an intellectual engagement, prompting conversations about the nature of art, media's influence, and street art's power to transform and transcend ordinary objects and characters into extraordinary pieces of cultural commentary.

    Alex Yanes Tropical Tiburón Laser Cut Acrylic Giclee Print by Alex Yanes

    Tropical Tiburón Limited Run Multiple on Laser Cut Acrylic Panel ready to hang by Alex Yanes Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2021 Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 12x21.3 Custom cut acrylic including three velcro strips for easy wall mounting Produced in partnership with Print House USA. Street Pop Art and Graffiti: Alex Yanes' Tropical Tiburón Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork have long been at the vanguard of contemporary artistic expression, embodying the vibrant pulse of urban landscapes and the voices that emanate from them. The limited edition piece titled "Tropical Tiburón," created by Alex Yanes, exemplifies this modern aesthetic. Yanes, a graffiti street artist renowned for his vivid modern pop art, brings forth a visual symphony composed on an unconventional and striking medium—a laser-cut acrylic panel. Born and based in Miami, Alex Yanes is an artist whose work resonates with his city's colorful and dynamic spirit. Known for his distinct style that amalgamates street influences with a pop art sensibility, Yanes' art infuses bright colors, bold lines, and a playful yet profound sense of storytelling. His 2021 limited edition of "Tropical Tiburón" is a testament to his craft and a representation of the culture and environment that have shaped his artistic journey. Each piece in this limited run of 100 artworks measures 12x21.3 inches, a modest yet impactful size, allowing the intricacies and visual appeal of the piece to shine through. The custom-cut acrylic medium is a testament to Yanes' commitment to innovation and quality. This choice of substrate adds a three-dimensional depth to the work, pushing the boundaries of traditional canvas art and inviting the viewer to engage with the piece at a more tactile level. Artwork That Hangs on Innovation What sets "Tropical Tiburón" apart is its visual appeal and user-friendly approach to art installation. In partnership with Print House USA, Yanes has incorporated practicality into his artistic vision. Including three velcro strips for easy wall mounting is a nod to the contemporary collector's desire for accessible and easily adaptable art. It is an acknowledgment of the modern pace of life, where complex mounting processes should not hinder the ability to appreciate art. This piece is a celebration of the tropical allure encapsulated within the form of a shark—a creature that is both feared and revered. The shark's body, a canvas, displays a sunset scene with palm trees silhouetted against a warm, inviting sky. The juxtaposition of the shark, often seen as a symbol of danger, with the serene tropical landscape evokes a sense of contrast and balance. It plays on the dualities within nature and the urban settings that Yanes draws inspiration from. The "Tropical Tiburón" is not merely a decorative piece; it is a slice of the artist's heart and soul, a narrative captured in acrylic, and a vibrant homage to the essence of Miami. Alex Yanes continues to live and work, contributing to the rich tapestry of street pop art and graffiti, his artworks serving as beacons of creativity in the bustling art scene. This artwork, a limited edition creation, stands as a testament to Yanes' dedication to his craft and his ability to marry functionality with artistic brilliance. The intersection of street pop art and graffiti is a complex and ever-evolving space, and it is within this space that Alex Yanes' "Tropical Tiburón" finds its rightful place. With each laser-cut curve and color gradient, Yanes narrates a story that is uniquely his yet universally relatable—a story that speaks to the heart of street culture, the allure of the tropics, and the enduring spirit of graffiti art. As collectors hang this piece, they are not just mounting an artwork but anchoring contemporary art history onto their walls.

    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

  • Silver Seascape Original Guerra Pigment Painting by Richard Hambleton Silver Seascape Original Guerra Pigment Painting by Richard Hambleton

    Richard Hambleton Silver Seascape Original Guerra Pigment Painting by Richard Hambleton

    Silver Seascape Original Guerra Pigment Painting by Richard Hambleton of, a Kind Artwork on Fine Art Paper by Street Art Pop Artist. 2002 Signed & Dated Guerra Pigment & Paint Framed Painting Original Artwork Size Framed 33.5x28 with COA & Letter From Robert Murphy Richard Hambleton's Artistic Mastery in "Silver Seascape" Richard Hambleton, a luminary in the world of street pop art and graffiti artwork, left an indelible mark on the canvas of urban art history. His unique contribution to the genre is encapsulated in works like the original "Silver Seascape" painting. This piece is not merely a visual treat but a narrative of the artist's profound relationship with the natural elements, painted with the Guerra pigment and paint that became part of his signature technique. Completed in 2002, it is a one-of-a-kind artwork on fine art paper, framed and ready to inspire onlookers in any setting. Seascape stands out as a testament to Hambleton's artistic versatility and ability to transcend street art's traditional boundaries. Known predominantly for his shadowy figures that lurked on the walls of city buildings, this seascape presents a softer, no less impactful, side of his oeuvre. The 33.5x28 framed artwork captures the ethereal interplay between light and shadow, a dance of natural forces rendered in the moody tones of Hambleton's palette. The artwork, signed and dated by Hambleton, carries the authenticity of his vision, attesting to the originality that was the artist's hallmark.

Having belonged to the collection of Robert Murphy, a close associate of Hambleton's and a figure prominent enough to be featured in the documentary "Shadowman," this piece is steeped in personal history. The Certificate of Authenticity (COA) accompanying the painting, provided by Murphy and a second COA from Dirtypilot, underscores the artwork's legitimacy and the close connection between the artist and his confidants. This painting is a visual representation of Hambleton's talent and a slice of his personal journey with his contemporaries. Impact and Influence of "Silver Seascape" Hambleton's "Silver Seascape" is not merely a decorative piece but a conduit for the raw and compelling energy that characterized his street pop art and graffiti work. The piece resonates with the spirit of freedom and spontaneity often associated with the best of street art. At the same time, its execution and presentation echo the discipline and finesse of fine art. It's a bridge between worlds, embodying the rebellious heart of street art within the refined context of a gallery-worthy piece. This artwork carries within it the echoes of the streets where Hambleton began, transformed into a form that commands contemplation and respect in the silence of a collector's enclave. The seascape genre, often used to portray the sublime and the tumultuous nature of the sea, is adeptly harnessed by Hambleton to reflect similar emotions he stirred through his street art. The dynamic and ever-changing sea, a metaphor for life and art itself, is depicted with a brooding, timeless, and immediate intensity. It reflects Hambleton's understanding that art, like the sea, is never static, always leaving an impression unique to the viewer's perception. Richard Hambleton's "Seascape" is a remarkable work that offers a distinct departure from the artist's urban street art, guiding viewers to a contemplative horizon where the sea meets the sky. It is a masterful creation that brings together the disparate elements of street pop art and fine art, framed and presented in a manner that is both accessible and profound. This piece celebrates Hambleton's legacy, a visual poem composed in the language of color and form, ready to hang and transform any space it occupies.

  • Gravity PP Archival Print by Sarah Joncas

    Sarah Joncas Gravity PP Archival Print by Sarah Joncas

    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.

    Jason DeCaires Vicissitudes Ring Giclee Print by Jason DeCaires

    Vicissitudes Ring Digital C Giclee Print by Jason DeCaires Artwork Limited Edition Print on Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2012 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 26x20 Jason DeCaires Taylor's "Vicissitudes Ring" and Its Resonance in Art The "Vicissitudes Ring" digital C Giclee Print by Jason DeCaires Taylor is a limited edition artwork that captures the essence of his pioneering underwater sculpture. Created in 2012, this piece is part of a limited edition of 50 signed and numbered prints, each measuring 26x20 inches. The artwork represents DeCaires Taylor's iconic underwater installation "Vicissitudes," which features a circle of figures holding hands, located off the coast of Grenada in the West Indies. This particular work significantly contributes to the canon of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork despite its primary existence beneath the waves. It bridges the gap between the traditional understanding of street art and the innovative realm of environmental sculpture. The ring of figures is suggestive of continuity and community, themes that are deeply ingrained in street art culture. The circular arrangement of life-sized figures evokes a sense of unity and solidarity, resonating with the collective spirit of street art and human resilience. The choice of digital C Giclee print for "Vicissitudes Ring" signifies a confluence of technology and art, ensuring the durability and color fidelity of the piece and making it a precious collectible for art enthusiasts. The Giclee process, known for its high-quality reproduction of artworks, perfectly encapsulates the hues and shadows of the original underwater sculptures, providing an on-land experience of Taylor's submerged art. The Cultural Impact of "Vicissitudes Ring" in Contemporary Art Jason DeCaires Taylor's "Vicissitudes Ring" transcends the confines of conventional street art, offering an immersive, contemplative, and profound experience. The figures in the ring, cast from children of diverse ethnic backgrounds, represent the passage of time and the changes (or 'vicissitudes') that come with it. The artwork, therefore, becomes a powerful commentary on the interconnectedness of human life and the universal experiences that bind people together across cultural divides. The installation from which this print is derived is located underwater and is subject to the natural processes of the sea. As such, it is in constant flux, with marine life gradually becoming an integral part of the sculptures. This concept of change and transformation is inherent to the nature of street art, which is often temporary and subject to the elements and the evolving urban landscape. "Vicissitudes Ring" serves as a metaphor for the dynamism of street and pop art, highlighting the ever-changing context of public art and its ability to adapt and evolve. The limited edition nature of this print, alongside its signature and numbering, adds an exclusive aspect to the ownership of this piece, much like the rarefied experience of stumbling upon a fleeting work of street art before it disappears or is transformed. Collectors of "Vicissitudes Ring" are thus privy to a moment captured in time, a snapshot of Taylor's evolving underwater gallery. Exploring the Blurred Lines Between Street Art and Environmental Sculpture "Vicissitudes Ring" exemplifies the blurred lines between street art, pop art, and environmental sculpture. While the original work is not painted on an urban wall or created through spray cans, it shares the spirit of street and pop art through its accessibility, public placement, and the way it engages with its environment. Just as street art becomes part of the urban fabric, "Vicissitudes" becomes part of the oceanic ecosystem, challenging where art can exist and thrive. The installation and its photographic representation in the Giclee print also speak to the temporality and permanence of art. While the print captures a moment in time, the actual installation is subject to relentless transformation by natural forces, much like graffiti that ages and is altered by the urban environment. In this way, "Vicissitudes Ring" reflects the ethos of street art, where the act of creation is as significant as the art itself and where the artwork's existence in a state of change is a form of expression. Jason DeCaires Taylor's "Vicissitudes Ring" is a profound piece that extends the conversation of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork into new territories. It challenges the viewer to consider the role of the environment in art, the power of community, and the transient yet enduring nature of human expression. As a limited edition print, it captures the beauty and complexity of Taylor's underwater sculpture. It serves as a vessel for the messages of environmental awareness and cultural connectivity at the heart of Taylor's artistic philosophy.

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.
