This piece, created in 2016, is a fine example of how two artists can merge their distinctive styles to create a unique work that reflects their individual artistic identities. The 9-color hand-pulled limited edition distressed pearl white finish silkscreen print on 250gsm Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and artistic vision shared by the two legends of the street art scene. OG Slick, an artist with a background deeply rooted in the Los Angeles graffiti movement, brings his iconic imagery and urban sensibilities to the piece. Known for his bold and often subversive visual language, Slick’s contribution to C/S II is immediately apparent in the stylized cartoon hands and contemporary iconography that speaks to street culture's commercial and gritty aspects. His work has often been characterized by a playfulness that belies a more profound commentary on social and cultural issues. This is evident in how he manipulates familiar symbols and characters to challenge viewers’ perceptions. Chaz Bojorquez's Signature Style in C/S II Chaz Bojorquez’s influence in the piece is equally profound. His signature style, which draws from the Cholo graffiti tradition and his sophisticated understanding of typography, complements Slick’s more whimsical elements with a sense of gravity and history. The calligraphic strokes and the intricate lettering in the background of C/S II are unmistakably Bojorquez’s, showcasing his mastery over form and ability to convey a rich cultural narrative through his art. His work captures the essence of a subculture that has often been marginalized, elevating it to a level of fine art that demands recognition and respect. The collaboration between these two artists on C/S II is a dialogue between different eras and styles within the street art genre. While OG Slick’s work is often seen as a bridge between the early days of street art and the modern aesthetic, Bojorquez represents the soulful, enduring aspects of graffiti art woven into the cultural fabric of urban life. Together, their work on this print creates a complex interplay of color, form, and symbolism that celebrates street art’s past and a bold statement about its future. Cultural Significance of the Limited Edition C/S II Print The cultural significance of the C/S II print lies in its embodiment of the spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Limited to an edition of 150, each print is signed by OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez, making it a rare and collectible piece that holds great value for street art lovers. The decision to limit the edition not only underscores the value of the artwork but also speaks to the ethos of street art, where the fleeting nature of the medium often means that works can be temporary and transient. By capturing this transient essence in a tangible form, OG Slick and Bojorquez have created a lasting artifact of street culture. The piece is particularly notable for its distressed pearl white finish, which adds texture and depth to the print. This finish gives the artwork a tactile quality that invites closer inspection and suggests a history behind the image as if it has been weathered by time and the elements – a nod to the real-world conditions of street art. The use of Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper further elevates the piece, marrying the raw energy of graffiti with the refinement of fine art printing techniques. Impact and Legacy of C/S II in Street Art and Pop Culture The impact and legacy of C/S II in street art and pop culture are significant. By bringing together two influential artists from different generations, the print bridges the early days of Los Angeles graffiti and the contemporary street art scene. It reflects the genre's evolution, showing how it can be a personal means of expression and a sophisticated art form. The print’s aesthetic, marked by the interplay of Bojorquez’s calligraphic skill and Slick’s graphic sensibility, exemplifies the potential of street art to engage with broader artistic movements and to be recognized in the wider context of pop art. As a piece of street pop and graffiti artwork, C/S II is a powerful example of the genre’s ability to adapt and grow while retaining its core principles.
