The Cavalry Above The Clouds Original Acrylic Painting by Ben Kehoe One of a Kind Artwork on Wood Board by Street Art Pop Artist. 2013 Signed Acrylic Original Painting Size 20x16 Ready To Hang Ben Kehoe The Cavalry Above The Clouds Original Acrylic Painting 2013 The 2013 original acrylic painting The Cavalry Above The Clouds by American artist Ben Kehoe stands as a striking example of narrative imagination within contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Created on wood board and measuring 20 x 16 inches, this one-of-a-kind hand-painted piece blends surreal fantasy with symbolic undertones, demonstrating Kehoe’s signature ability to balance storytelling, humor, and social reflection through painterly technique. Signed by the artist and ready to hang, the work encapsulates the spirit of modern pop surrealism while remaining deeply rooted in the visual language of folk and street-influenced art. Imagery and Composition Set against a glowing orange sky filled with sweeping clouds, the painting depicts a lone figure riding a massive bald eagle through the heavens. The eagle, rendered in meticulous detail with layered feathers and a stern gaze, exudes both majesty and power. The rider, modest in scale and dressed in muted tones, grips the reins with a sense of calm determination, suggesting a symbolic partnership between human courage and natural strength. The backdrop’s warm tonal gradient evokes both serenity and tension — a dreamlike atmosphere that merges the mythic with the contemporary. The juxtaposition of the enormous bird of prey and the tiny rider introduces themes of freedom, dominance, and the pursuit of transcendence. Symbolism and Thematic Interpretation In The Cavalry Above The Clouds, Ben Kehoe explores the intersection between power and vulnerability, suggesting a narrative of human ambition soaring beyond earthly constraints. The eagle, long a symbol of freedom and national identity, becomes here a vessel for introspection rather than patriotism. The rider’s presence evokes the individual’s quest for control amid vast, unpredictable forces — an allegory for humanity’s ongoing negotiation with nature and self-determination. The painting’s surreal yet deliberate tone reflects Kehoe’s approach to allegorical storytelling, transforming fantastical imagery into layered social and psychological commentary. Ben Kehoe’s Artistic Vision Ben Kehoe, an American painter associated with the pop surrealist movement, is celebrated for his intricate narratives that blend humor, melancholy, and the absurd. His art often features anthropomorphic figures and fantastical scenes that mirror human emotion through metaphor and symbolism. Working primarily with acrylics on wood, Kehoe achieves a textural warmth and painterly precision that connect his work to both folk traditions and contemporary street-influenced aesthetics. The Cavalry Above The Clouds embodies his signature fusion of narrative depth and visual allure, offering a window into an imagined world where the boundaries between myth and modernity dissolve — a hallmark of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork at its most contemplative and poetic.

Custom Frame & Mat. Each print is signed plus numbered 1/1 by the Artist, with a thumbprint on the back and printed on hand-torn archival paper. Art history gets a Rubik's remix in the latest edition print release from Mr.Brainwash. The Intersection of Classical Imagery and Contemporary Street Pop Art in Mr. Brainwash’s Venus Unique #13 Thierry Guetta, artistically known as Mr. Brainwash, has been a transformative force in modern art, bridging the gap between street art's rebellious energy and pop art's iconic imagery. His work, Venus Unique #13, is a testament to this fusion, embodying the spontaneous creativity of Graffiti Street Artists Modern Pop Art. Released in 2021, this hand-pulled silkscreen print is part of an original series that infuses the classic depiction of Venus with a burst of contemporary life, underscored by the vibrant disruption of a Rubik's cube pattern. Venus Unique #13 is a symbolic piece within Mr. Brainwash's oeuvre. It is a 6-color silkscreen print, underscored by the Artist's hand-painted embellishments on hand-torn archival paper, which gives it an organic and tactile feel. The artwork is encased in a custom frame and mat, enhancing its visual appeal and preserving its condition. This particular print is marked 1/1, signaling its status as a unique work within the series. It is further authenticated by Mr. Brainwash's signature and thumbprint on the reverse, hallmarking its originality. Capturing Art Historical References with a Modern Twist Mr. Brainwash's penchant for juxtaposing classic art historical references with modern elements is evident in Venus Unique #13. The artwork reimagines the Roman goddess Venus, an enduring symbol of beauty and love, through the lens of modern-day iconography and urban artistry. By overlaying the serene and timeless figure of Venus with the chaotic, colorful patterns of a Rubik's cube, Mr. Brainwash creates a dialogue between the past and the present, between enduring ideals and contemporary challenges. The use of the Rubik's cube is remarkably evocative, as it is a pop culture icon and a metaphor for complexity and the human endeavor to solve puzzles. It suggests that the interpretation of beauty and art is itself a complex puzzle, a challenge that evolves with time and perspective. Mr. Brainwash cleverly employs the cube's colors and forms to fracture and reinterpret the classical imagery, giving it a new context and relevance in today's visual language of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. The Signature Style and Cultural Commentary of Mr. Brainwash Mr. Brainwash's signature style is characterized by his bold use of color, eclectic iconography, and seamless blending of various artistic techniques. Venus Unique #13 is imbued with this signature approach, showcasing a harmonious blend of spray-painted graffiti with refined silkscreen printing. The piece is as much a celebration of the Artist's technical skill as it is of his conceptual ingenuity. By integrating elements like comic strips, street signs, and pop culture ephemera into the backdrop of Venus, Mr. Brainwash comments on the inundation of media and advertising in our daily lives. His artwork becomes a canvas where modern-day consumerism and the timeless quest for meaning and beauty intersect. Including such diverse and seemingly disparate elements is a nod to the complex visual landscapes we navigate, suggesting that art and beauty can be found in the most unexpected places. Collectability and Influence in Contemporary Art The collectability of Mr. Brainwash's work, particularly pieces like Venus Unique #13, is significant. As a unique, one-of-a-kind piece with the Artist's direct involvement, it holds aesthetic value and a high degree of collectible appeal. The artwork's size, 16x16 inches, makes it a versatile piece for collectors, suitable for various spaces and settings. These qualities make Mr. Brainwash's work highly sought after by enthusiasts of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. Venus Unique #13 is more than just a visual statement; it reflects the current era where art history receives a contemporary remix. Mr. Brainwash's approach to art challenges viewers to see beyond the surface and appreciate each piece's layers of meaning and craftsmanship. In doing so, he has cemented his place within the modern art movement, inspiring both admiration and critical thought about the role and interpretation of art in contemporary society.

Thoughtcrime Ant Limited Edition Hand-Painted Embellished Paint, Stencil, Acrylic on Wood by Bask Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "These pieces are a continuation of my Thoughtcrime series. The Ant image is painted on a series of weathered panels. This set was completed within the past month. It’s hard to say how long they took to create because salvaging the panels from a variety of places over a long time is just as much of a part the art as laying down the paint on top of them. Each piece has it’s own history embedded onto itself.Each piece is hand crafted and each panel has been painted and processed by me. I like the idea of small production works that let people get a original piece of art for the cost of some prints these days.I have been saving these panels for a while and finally it was time to cut them down and make some art out of them. Paintings of the same stenciled image but each looking 100% original to itself. Each piece has it’s own distinct character and personality while keeping the repetition of the Thoughtcrime." - BASK

Psychedelic Fusion- 03 Original Hand-Painted Multiple Spray Paint, Ink Mixed Media on Laser Cut Wood Panel ready to hang by Tavar Zawacki (Above) Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "The Psychedelic series were made in conjunction with my recent solo exhibition Remix. All of the Psychedelic series was designed with an emphasis on a sharp visual contrast. It's similar to 'Op-art' (Optical Art) which makes your eyes trip out. It's an effect that alters your perception as if you were on Psychedelic drugs. Some of the Psychedelic designs I made were featured in Remix, and some of them I created specifically for this series. This particular 'Sunset Strip' design I made with more complexity for my solo exhibition Remix. The Remix exhibition was about interchanging and swapping different cut patterns of the same design, in different colors to achieve the final piece. The Psychedelic series achieves a similar effect but in a more basic style of blocking out colors and allowing the negative space to reveal itself." - Above

"My first batch was done in 2010/2011 and showed during the World's Largest Crappie Festival in Water Valley Mississippi, that was awesome. All are were made using pen, ink, and acrylic. My father was a B-26 pilot and my dad helped instill the interest in the subject. Two of the pieces feature a rock bass morphed with a B-26. These are completely different from what I normally do, whatever 'normal' means. Anyway, these were just a lot of fun to do. Whereas some of the intense pieces that I do I feel I have to do, as to purge it from my system, which works half the time (I tend to carry that stuff with me). I wanted to do these for fun and are a great distraction." - Derek Hess

Lately, I have transitioned mostly into mixed media paintings, but I've been doing hardcore graffiti, if you want to call it that, for thirty-plus years. It's what made me Cope2. But I like to change it up and show all my different styles. So, with this show, I can show my style evolution and how I've progressed. "Versatile" shows where I came from and what I'm doing now," Cope2 said from his studio in New York. -Cope2 The Evolution of Cope2 in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Within the pantheon of street pop art and graffiti artwork, Cope2 stands as a figure of significant importance, a name synonymous with the gritty roots and dynamic evolution of the genre.

The Divine Smile Original Mixed Media Painting by Phil Simpson One of a Kind Artwork on Wood by Street Art Pop Artist. 2021 Signed Spray Paint Mixed Media Acrylic Painting Original Artwork Wood Craddled Size 16x16 The Divine Smile by Phil Simpson – Emotional Simplicity in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The Divine Smile is a 2021 original mixed media painting by American artist Phil Simpson, executed on a 16 x 16 inch cradled wood panel. Using a combination of spray paint and acrylic, Simpson presents his iconic smiling face motif rendered in bold color blocks, thick black outlines, and a radiant gradient backdrop. This one-of-a-kind piece captures the artist’s signature style—simple, saturated, emotionally direct, and universally approachable. Simpson’s aesthetic lives in the space where graffiti sensibility meets the graphic clarity of pop design, offering a symbol of joy that functions both as visual affirmation and cultural commentary. With its crisp lines and expressive facial geometry, the artwork becomes a statement of emotional presence through formal restraint, aligned perfectly within the evolving language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Symbolism of the Smile as Visual Healing Phil Simpson’s smiling face is more than a repeated motif—it is a philosophy embedded in form. In The Divine Smile, the expression is wide, symmetrical, and balanced by blush-like dots on both cheeks and oversized eyes that reflect light with cartoon purity. The simplicity of the face contrasts with the complexity of its emotional impact. The smile radiates calm, reassurance, and sincerity, reminding the viewer of the power of optimism in an urban world often defined by cynicism and noise. The use of vibrant purples, electric blues, and sharp white further amplifies this positivity. The smile does not mock or hide—it invites. Within the context of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, the smile becomes both a tag and a message, a symbol placed across walls, canvases, and communities with consistent visual and emotional clarity. Medium, Surface, and Street Precision on Wood Panel The use of wood as a surface provides a textured, stable base that enhances the contrast of spray paint gradients and acrylic detail. The edges of the piece are crisp, but the transitions in background color suggest the mist of aerosol—soft clouds of purple that glow behind the character’s blue face. Simpson’s linework is thick and assertive, shaped to define rather than complicate. The work’s 16 x 16 inch square format reinforces its graphic symmetry, creating a sense of intentional balance that resonates with the theme of emotional equilibrium. Every mark is placed with confidence, transforming minimal components into a maximal visual experience. The Divine Smile’s execution speaks to Simpson’s roots in street-based art practices while also elevating the work into a fine art object with permanence and intimacy. Phil Simpson and the Joy of Repetition as Resistance Phil Simpson’s work exists as a visual meditation on happiness, rendered again and again with sincerity and clarity. His practice does not rely on shock or irony but instead leans into joy, repetition, and design logic to offer a different kind of power. In The Divine Smile, Simpson does not create a portrait—he creates an emotional icon, one that speaks across language, age, and geography. As part of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this piece reflects a belief in accessibility, honesty, and the possibility of shared connection through form. The smile becomes not just a face but a flag—a symbol for optimism painted loudly enough to be heard in a world that often forgets to look up. Through his work, Simpson builds a universe where positivity is visual, repetition is radical, and the message is always simple: the smile is the art, and the art is alive.

Childs Face 84 Original One of a Kind Oil Mixed Media Painting Artwork on Cardboard by Popular Modern Impressionist Artist Peter Keil. 1984 Signed 12x16 Original Peter Keil Painting of a large child boy's face. Some paint chipped on the cheek, as is common with Peter Keil originals. Peter Keil's Child's Face '84: A Fusion of Expressionism and Street Pop Art The "Child's Face '84" by Peter Keil stands as a vibrant example of how modern impressionist techniques can intersect with the ethos of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. Measuring 12x16 inches, this original oil mixed media painting on cardboard brings forth the distinct style of Keil, often recognized for his spontaneous, bold approach to modern art. The painting, which presents a giant boy's face, encapsulates the innocence and expressiveness associated with children, rendered through the lens of Keil's vivid, impressionistic style. Characteristic of Peter Keil's original works, this piece exhibits some paint chipping on the cheek, a natural consequence of the artist's heavy impasto technique and the delicate nature of cardboard as a medium. The chips do not detract from the artwork's impact; instead, they add to the piece's narrative, reflecting the passage of time and the tactile history of Keil's artistic process. This textural element, common in Keil's originals, underscores the raw, unfiltered emotion he seeks to capture in his subjects. Interpreting Keil's Artistic Language in Child's Face '84 Interpreting Keil's "Child's Face '84" requires an appreciation of his artistic language, which merges the abstracted forms of impressionism with street art's vibrant colors and emotional immediacy. Keil's portrayal goes beyond simply representing a child's features; it explores character and emotion conveyed through exaggerated forms and a rich color palette. The large, luminous eyes dominate the composition, serving as windows to the child's soul and echoing the depth of human experience that Keil aims to explore through his art. The choice of cardboard as a substrate for this piece mainly tells of Keil's intention to bridge the gap between conventional fine art and the more accessible, everyday materials often used in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. This unconventional choice reflects a democratization of art, a key theme in street art, where the emphasis is on making art available and relatable to a broad audience. By utilizing cardboard, Keil challenges traditional art norms and aligns himself with a form of artistic expression grounded in the realities of urban life. The Lasting Influence of Keil's Approach to Portraiture The lasting influence of Peter Keil's approach to portraiture is evident in "Child's Face '84." His work, often categorized under the umbrella of modern impressionism, resonates with a broader range of art forms, including Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. Keil's contribution to these genres lies in his ability to infuse traditional portrait painting with a sense of immediacy and street-wise rawness often found in urban art. This painting, with its bold contours and striking colors, is a testament to Keil's innovative spirit and impact on contemporary art. Furthermore, the painting's vibrant quality, a defining characteristic of Keil's work, underscores the expressive potential of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. "Child's Face '84" exemplifies how these genres can convey complex emotional narratives, challenging the perception that street art is solely concerned with public commentary or social critique. Keil's portrait is a celebration of individuality and the human spirit, encapsulated within the gaze of a child and articulated through the medium of paint. Peter Keil's "Child's Face '84" is a significant piece that captures the intersection of modern impressionism with the dynamic world of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. The painting's spontaneous execution, vibrant colors, and textural nuances contribute to its enduring appeal and status as a meaningful representation of Keil's artistic vision. As a piece that bears the marks of its creation, it continues to engage and inspire, offering a window into the depth and diversity of Keil's oeuvre.

Workspace Tats Cru Original Spray Painting by BG183 One of a Kind Artwork on Gallery Wrapped Canvas by Street Art Pop Artist. 2022 Spray Paint & Acrylic Painting Original Ready to Hang Artwork Size 20x16 Workspace by BG183 of Tats Cru – Original Spray Paint and Acrylic Artwork in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Workspace is a 2022 original spray paint and acrylic painting by BG183 of the legendary graffiti collective Tats Cru, created on a 20 x 16 inch gallery wrapped canvas. This one-of-a-kind piece captures the energy and visual rhythm of an artist’s creative space, fusing classic wildstyle graffiti with abstract color fields and studio ephemera. Dominating the composition is a loose, vibrant recreation of a real-time desk scene where a BG183 sketch on paper rests atop a layered, paint-splattered canvas, accompanied by a single pink pen. This illusion of depth and process becomes a central narrative element, transforming the artwork into both a finished composition and a freeze-frame of graffiti in progress. The paper features bold, bright lettering in pinks, blues, yellows, and oranges, reading BG183 in clean, classic block-buster style. Surrounding it is an explosive field of green, black, and white splatter against a deep teal base, evoking the chaos and freedom of a graffiti writer’s working surface. Layered Surfaces and the Energy of Process The surface of Workspace operates on multiple levels. At first glance, it presents itself as a snapshot of a physical workspace. Closer inspection reveals that every element—from the sketch to the shadows to the pen—is rendered in paint. This trompe-l’oeil technique is BG183’s way of breaking the boundary between creation and presentation. The splatter zones mimic the buildup of years of paint application found in real studios, yet here they are meticulously composed to balance motion and contrast. BG183 uses these painterly gestures not just to energize the background, but to embed it with the DNA of graffiti process—the layering, the accident, the impulse, and the saturation of tools in action. Graffiti Lettering as Centerpiece and Identity The central lettering on the faux-paper sheet showcases BG183’s iconic style. The block letters are inflated and stylized, outlined with bold definition and filled with smooth gradients and cartoon-like accents. The use of highlights, shadowing, and color contrast pays homage to the classic New York graffiti structure that shaped BG183’s development as an artist. It is both a tag and a signature piece, declaring authorship with energy and control. The inclusion of the Tats Cru name reinforces the crew’s presence and legacy, reminding viewers that this piece is not just about individual style but also about collective history and contribution to global graffiti culture. Studio Intimacy in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Workspace reflects the moment where raw graffiti meets studio discipline without sacrificing authenticity. BG183 captures the immediacy of street culture and places it inside a controlled frame, not to tame it, but to honor it. The paint splatters, ink trails, and organized chaos of the desk environment serve as a portrait of the artist in motion—of graffiti not just as a public act but as a private rhythm. In the broader context of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this piece is both homage and artifact. It offers a rare glimpse into the personal world of a master graffiti writer, layered in spray, history, and creative tension, all captured in a work that celebrates process as subject and canvas as storyteller.

"The Psychedelic series were made in conjunction with my recent solo exhibition Remix. All of the Psychedelic series was designed with an emphasis on a sharp visual contrast. It's similar to 'Op-art' (Optical Art) which makes your eyes trip out. It's an effect that alters your perception as if you were on Psychedelic drugs. Some of the Psychedelic designs I made were featured in Remix, and some of them I created specifically for this series. This particular 'Sunset Strip' design I made with more complexity for my solo exhibition Remix. The Remix exhibition was about interchanging and swapping different cut patterns of the same design, in different colors to achieve the final piece. The Psychedelic series achieves a similar effect but in a more basic style of blocking out colors and allowing the negative space to reveal itself." - Above
