    Ben Frost Vampire USA Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Ben Frost

    Purchase Vampire USA Company of Thieves Original Painting Spray Paint, Acrylic and Mixed Media On Wood Panel by Ben Frost Graffiti Atreet Artist Modern Pop Art. 2013 Signed Original Spray Paint & Acrylic Wood Cradled Ready To Hang Painting Artwork Size 24x32 Ben Frost, a celebrated Australian artist, is widely known for his daring intersection of pop art, street art, and graffiti. His audacious approach to art transcends traditional parameters, blending vivid palettes, satirical commentaries, and commercial iconography to challenge societal norms and consumer culture. Frost's art is often characterized by a stark interplay between high art and low brow culture, effectively blurring the boundaries that typically separate fine art from street art. He daringly uses common consumer items like pharmaceutical packaging, fast-food wrappers, and product logos, in his pieces, repurposing them as canvases to critique our obsession with consumption and the societal implications it brings. This innovative approach of Frost's has become a trademark of his work, as he visually expresses his views on the power of advertising, the role of pharmaceuticals in our society, and the increasing commodification of everything around us. Frost's art has garnered global recognition, appearing in streets, galleries, and installations worldwide, ranging from his native Australia to cultural hubs like London, Tokyo, and New York. Despite the diversity of his platforms, his rebellious spirit and signature style remain consistent, making his work instantly recognizable. His vivid, provocative pieces have become a cornerstone in the pop and street art movements, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most important contemporary voices in these genres. His role in pop and graffiti art continues to inspire a generation of artists, both on the streets and in the studios, challenging and redefining the boundaries of what is considered 'art'.

"The Arrow Pulse was one of the many popular designs I made for my recent solo exhibition, Remix in Detroit. I decided to make a smaller-sized edition (5) of the Arrow Pulse arrows as this design is a popular and iconic style of the arrow. I had designed the cut files on my computer with Adobe Illustrator, then had them laser cut to ensure their perfection and unison in shape. After the cuts were made I individually removed each pulse and assigned it a specific color. What you see in the finished piece is a colorfully, composed wooden arrow pulse." - Above

  • I Will Love You Until The End HPM Stencil Wood Print by Denial- Daniel Bombardier

    Denial- Daniel Bombardier I Will Love You Until The End HPM Stencil Wood Print by Denial- Daniel Bombardier

    I Will Love You Until The End Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Spray Paint, Acrylic, Stencil, Mixed Media On Cradled Wood Panel by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Limited Edition of HPM 5 Hand Embleshed Artwork Size 24x36 Canadian artist Denial and Australian-born Ben Frost have joined forces in a bold exhibition of new work that explores the boundaries of appropriation in confronting re-imaginings of our current dystopian society. Self-­confessed ‘visual thieves’, both artists have had a long history of stealing and subverting the cultural icons that the advertising and consumerist world has thrust upon us to create new and pertinent interpretations that are as confronting as they are humorous. Denial and Frost formed an instant friendship after meeting in Canada in 2011 and have been creating engaging street and gallery work ever since. "Company of Thieves" sees their collaboration push further, with large and small-scale works referencing Pop Art, Graffiti, and the corporate world they rebel against. In the world of Denial, memory is essential because it is the basis of his work, as it nostalgically encourages the audience to engage with it. As a result, his art is as familiar as it is disturbing because it reveals the most unsettling parts of society, the ones we are in a “denial” of. No matter its controversial history, graffiti is less and less viewed as a form of vandalism.

"The 'Cut The Record' series was made solely for this release and was part of my most recent exhibition Remix.

Music I actually listen to on a day-to-day basis. For my exhibition, I kinda tweaked the meaning of Remix to fit the swapping and sampling of different, but similar pieces of woodcuts I had made on the pieces. With the 10 musicians, I selected for the 'Cut The Record' series each has either had their music remixed and or remixed music themselves.  Since Illmatic Album in 1994, I don’t think a week has gone by since I’ve listened to that album. One of my favorite albums." - Above

Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Spray Paint, Acrylic, Stencil, Mixed Media On Cradled Wood Panel by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of HPM Stencil 5 Artwork Size 48x30 Canadian artist Denial and Australian-born Ben Frost have joined forces in a bold exhibition of new work that explores the boundaries of appropriation, in confronting re-imaginings of our current dystopian society. Self-­confessed ‘visual thieves’, both artists have had a long history of stealing and subverting the cultural icons that the advertising and consumerist world has thrust upon us, to create new and pertinent interpretations that are as confronting as they are humorous.

"Company of Thieves" sees their collaboration push further, with large and small-scale works that reference Pop Art, Graffiti, and the corporate world they rebel against. Denial’s art is strongly political and social since the artist takes specific positions against issues, such as capitalism, consumer culture, and advertisements. More importantly, the artist is aware of his choices and motivations: “I like to think of myself as activist pop art. How I relate with cartoons and graphics is a lot easier than I do with photo-realistic stuff" Another aspect of Denial's work is humor. His work is satirical, which, by definition, means that it uses humor as a confronting mechanism.

At that time, street art was not as popular as it is in our days and the general public’s idea of it was still inextricably connected to ghettos, drug dealing, etc. The artist has never hidden his troubling past and avoids idealizing it, as a way to enhance his career and artistic persona. On the contrary, he mentions the following: “Oh man, there’s nothing to be proud of in hustling, but I had my first child at the age of 16, my son. So I had to make money to support him and his mother.

  • Fragment 01 Original Mixed Media Ceramic Painting by Add Fuel

    Add Fuel Fragment 01 Original Mixed Media Ceramic Painting by Add Fuel

    Purchase Fragment 01 Original Mixed Media Ceramic Painting by Add Fuel of a Kind Artwork Framed by a Street Art Pop Artist. 2020 Signed Mixed Media Original  Three Panel Ceramic Painting Size 23.8x29.8 Ready To Hand Fragmented 2 Piece Artwork FRAGMENT 01, 2020 Three Panel Ceramic 23.8 × 29.8 in Significance of Fragment 01 in Street Pop and Graffiti Artwork Fragment 01 emerges as a distinctive piece within the realm of Street Pop and Graffiti Artwork, symbolizing a harmonious blend of traditional ceramic art with the raw vibrancy of street art. Crafted in 2020, this original mixed-media artwork by the artist Add Fuel stands out as a one-of-a-kind framed piece that resonates with the dynamic energy of pop art. At the heart of Fragment 01 lies the artist's innovative approach to ceramic painting, a medium often associated with classical and traditional art. However, Add Fuel recontextualizes this perception by introducing elements typical of street art, thus creating a bridge between two ostensibly disparate worlds. The three-panel ceramic painting, with dimensions of 23.8 by 29.8 inches, captures the essence of Street Pop Art through its fragmented two-piece composition. The artwork's division into panels underscores the fragmented nature of street art, often found in unexpected locations and subject to the ravages of the urban environment. The visual narrative of Fragment 01 is characterized by a bold use of color and pattern, hallmarks of both pop art and graffiti. The dominant blues and intricate designs pay homage to the azulejo tradition of ceramic tilework, while the fractured presentation speaks to the spontaneity and impermanence of graffiti. By signing the piece, Add Fuel imparts a sense of identity and ownership, a nod to the graffiti artist's signature tag. The artwork is also ready to hang, emphasizing its accessibility and the street art ethos of art for the people. The Legacy of Fragment 01 in Contemporary Art Fragment 01 does not just represent a fusion of artistic styles; it also embodies the cultural dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary street expression. Through its form and medium, the artwork invites viewers to reflect on the evolution of art as it moves from the protected confines of galleries to the open and often contested spaces of the street. It challenges preconceived notions about the value and place of art in society and celebrates the democratization of art that street art and pop art have long championed. The significance of Fragment 01 extends beyond its aesthetic appeal; it is a testament to the growing recognition of street art and pop art as legitimate and influential art forms. By encapsulating the spirit of these movements within the time-honored medium of ceramic, Add Fuel's artwork bridges past and present, offering a powerful statement on the enduring nature of art and its capacity to adapt and thrive in various contexts. The piece is a vibrant example of how Street Pop and Graffiti Artwork continue to shape and inspire the trajectory of contemporary art. Fragment 01 is not merely a work of art but a vibrant narrative that captures the intersection of history, culture, and innovation. Through this piece, Add Fuel propels the conversation about the place of street art within the broader artistic canon, asserting its value and relevance in today's art landscape.

  • The North Road Original Gouache Wood Painting by Chris Austin

    Chris Austin The North Road Original Gouache Wood Painting by Chris Austin

    Purchase The North Road Original Gouache Painting by Chris Austin One of a Kind Artwork on Wood by Street Art Pop Artist. 2023 Signed Gouache Painting Original Artwork Size 10x10 Chris Austin's extraordinary "The North Road" original gouache wood painting, is an exemplar of how contemporary art can challenge and redefine our conventional understanding of space and form. This piece of art, which seamlessly fuses elements of pop, street and graffiti art, is instantly captivating and thought-provoking. It uniquely presents a surreal scenario where a shark is depicted flying through taxi cabs amid city traffic. Austin's bold and idiosyncratic style confronts the viewers with the reality of urban chaos and the power of imagination. The artist's use of gouache, a type of watercolor paint that can produce intensely vibrant colors, allows for a rich depiction of the otherwise everyday urban landscape and the completely out-of-place ocean predator. The brightness of the taxis and the shark, contrasted with the muted, almost monochromatic background of the cityscape, gives the composition an intense visual impact, typical of pop and street art. In the realms of street and graffiti art, such pieces not only provide aesthetic pleasure but are also often imbued with social and political commentary. Austin's painting could be seen as a critique of urban congestion and pollution, using the incongruous image of the shark to draw attention to the unnaturalness of city life. Alternatively, the flying shark might symbolize the survival instincts and adaptability needed to thrive in a bustling city. "The North Road" stands as a testament to the limitless creativity and capacity for social commentary inherent in the genres of pop, street, and graffiti art. It continues to captivate audiences with its vibrant colors, surreal subject matter, and the compelling dialogue it prompts about our relationship with urban spaces.

The transformation of graffiti into mainstream art culture can be traced through groundbreaking pieces such as "Sidewalk Closed" by Sonic Bad. This artwork, a 2018 signed original, showcases the perfect blend of spray paint and mixed media on a wooden vintage New York City Sidewalk Closed sign. The very choice of material speaks volumes about the urban inspiration and resonates deeply with the essence of street art. "Sidewalk Closed" is not just a mere painting; it's an amalgamation of modern pop art and the raw energy of graffiti. The use of a real wood street sign as a canvas is an innovative approach, offering authenticity and a tangible connection to the streets of New York City. At 21.5x11.5 inches, this artwork captures the essence of urban life, providing a direct link to the bustling sidewalks of the Big Apple. The use of vibrant colors, abstract patterns, and intricate detailing brings to life the chaos, rhythm, and pulse of city life. Sonic Bad's choice to incorporate both spray paint and mixed media is a testament to the evolving nature of street art. This combination allows for a richer texture and depth, lending the piece a multi-dimensional feel. The vivid hues juxtaposed with the stark wooden backdrop give it a sense of modernity while staying true to its street roots. Such a style is reflective of the transformative nature of graffiti, moving from unauthorized scribbles on walls to pieces of art worthy of galleries and art aficionados' attention. The evolution of graffiti to pop art is also evident in this piece. Pop art, known for its portrayal of popular culture and mundane objects as art, finds a fitting representation in "Sidewalk Closed". The ordinary street sign, something people walk past daily without a second glance, becomes the centerpiece, forcing viewers to re-evaluate their perceptions of everyday items. By elevating a simple street sign to the realm of art, Sonic Bad challenges the traditional definitions of art and beauty. Sonic Bad's "Sidewalk Closed" serves as a reminder of the fluid boundaries between street art, graffiti, and pop art. It stands as a testament to the artist's innovative spirit and the ever-evolving world of art. Through this piece, viewers are compelled to appreciate the beauty in the ordinary and acknowledge the profound impact of street culture on contemporary art. Sonic Bad, with his distinctive approach, has not just created a visual masterpiece but also ignited a conversation about the transformative power of art in urban settings.

    Purchase Lady With Sphinx Original Painting Oil On Linen Mounted To Wood With Frame by Aaron Nagel Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Original Oil Painting Framed by Aaron Negal Measuring 26x30 "'Lady With a Sphinx" was humbly modeled after the Leonardo DaVinci painting, "Lady With An Ermine." It is my second attempt at a painting modeled after a classic, the first being my version (of Bouguereau’s version) of the Piéta. I have always liked "Lady With An Ermine;" the lighting on the figure, the stark background, the lettering in the upper left-hand corner, and of course, the Ermine (because what the fuck is an ermine?!)Trying to get the reference photo looking similar was a challenge, but an enjoyable one, as I never have a concrete idea of how I want a reference to look, so there tends to be a lot of trial and error. This time, I messed with it until the pose and lighting were right, then just took a few hundred pictures there, with very subtle pose and expression changes. This piece was painted for the “Three Figures” exhibition at Maxwell Alexander Gallery in June of 2014. It was a 3-man show, with Jeremy Mann, Sean Cheetham, and myself. They are two of my favorite artists, so it was a huge honor to show with them." - Aaron Nagel

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 artists' choice of materials and their technique tell of their deep roots in the traditions of street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the use of spray paint is iconic, and stencils allow for sharp, repeatable imagery that can be rapidly executed in the often tricky environments of public spaces. Artistic Expression on Social Realities 'People's Power' resonates with the ethos of street art by boldly tackling socio-political themes. Icy & Sot's work often reflects a keen awareness of contemporary issues; this piece is no exception. The narrative behind the 'American Dream' — the inspiration for 'People's Power' — stems from the artist's observation of a homeless individual in New York City, cradling a Starbucks cup while begging for money. This poignant scene, set against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers, sparked the creation of an artwork that seeks to amplify the presence of the often overlooked and marginalized figures in urban landscapes. The Symbolic Imagery of 'People's Power' In 'People's Power,' the central figure is depicted as larger than life, overshadowing the iconic Empire State Building. This artistic choice elevates the subject, literally and figuratively, granting him a visibility that is usually denied in real life. The mixed crowd surrounding the central figure appears to be in solidarity, suggesting a collective uprising or a unified stand against societal issues. The vibrant colors splashed across the face of the central figure add a sense of vitality and perhaps a glimmer of hope amidst the stark black and white of the crowd. Technique and Form in Icy & Sot's Creative Process The technical prowess of Icy & Sot is evident in the stencil work's precision and the spray paint's controlled chaos. By opting for a wood panel as the substrate, the artists step away from the transient nature of street walls, allowing 'People's Power' to exist as a portable manifesto of their artistic and ideological stance. The cut-out form of the artwork disrupts the conventional rectangular canvas, giving the piece an almost sculptural presence that echoes the three-dimensional experience of encountering street art in the wild. Contextualizing 'People's Power' Within Street Pop Art 'People's Power' is more than a visually captivating piece; it is a cultural artifact that encapsulates the spirit of street pop art. Icy & Sot have successfully harnessed the expressive potential of graffiti artwork to communicate with a broad audience, transcending linguistic and cultural barriers. The artwork's accessibility is crucial to its impact, following the tradition of street art that speaks directly to the public, unfiltered by the gatekeeping norms of traditional galleries and museums. Impact and Legacy of 'People's Power' The legacy of 'People's Power' lies in its ability to confront and converse with its audience about uncomfortable truths. As with many seminal works in the street pop art genre, this piece's value is amplified by its relevance to contemporary societal discourses. Icy & Sot's commitment to addressing the uncomfortable facets of modernity is what positions 'People's Power' as not only an object of aesthetic admiration but also as a beacon of social consciousness in the realm of modern art.

Looking at the series now that is completely done, I couldn't be more stoked! When I had the idea for this new series of woodcuts I wanted to do a few different images and sizes from the last series. After getting all the blanks back to the studio and laying them out I was super overwhelmed considering every piece is 100% hand-painted and had to be done individually." - Malt

With this in mind, and in the case of Ben Frost, it is futile to try to identify a clear borderline between low and high art. In reality, the artist wants the audience to think on the terms of high or low value and, by extension, what these actually mean. Over the years street artists have managed to establish themselves as respected creators and some of them have even gained international fame, transforming graffiti from a fringe art, aiming sometimes to mark street gangs’ territory, into big business.

Those times, in young adult life in particular, when seemingly insignificant actions feel like big accomplishments that only you can truly appreciate-- Eating spinach twice in one day; remembering to floss; driving home sober; getting up on time for work after only two hours of sleep. The experienced simultaneity of the mundane and the meaningful, the trivial and the triumphant.These mixed media collage works are a brief exploration of those experiences through color, texture, and pattern. Behind the often abstract geometric compositions, there is always an underlying intimacy. Through a combination of digital and physical art-making techniques, my work continues to explore the relationship between art and design, as well as the influence that computers have on both what I make and how I think." - Ellen Rutt

But me, I like to change it up and show all my different styles.

At that time, street art was not as popular as it is in our days and the general public’s idea of it was still inextricably connected to ghettos, drug dealing, etc. The artist has never hidden his troubling past and avoids idealizing it, as a way to enhance his career and artistic persona. On the contrary, he mentions the following: “Oh man, there’s nothing to be proud of in hustling, but I had my first child at the age of 16, my son. So I had to make money to support him and his mother.

The Essence of Original Artwork in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Original artwork in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork represents a powerful personal and cultural expression. This art form has evolved from its origins on city walls and public spaces to a significant part of the contemporary art landscape. Originality in this context is characterized by the artist's unique vision, style, and message conveyed through various mediums, including spray paint, stencils, and posters. These artists often work under pseudonyms, creating pieces that are not only visually striking but also often laden with social, political, or personal commentary.

Evolution and Significance of Original Artwork in Urban Art Forms

The evolution of original artwork within Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork is marked by its transition from underground subculture to mainstream acceptance. Early graffiti artists, starting in the 1960s and 1970s in cities like New York and Philadelphia, used their art as a form of rebellion and self-expression. This was when graffiti was not yet recognized as a legitimate art form but rather as an act of vandalism. However, as artists began to develop distinct styles and messages, the artistic value of their work gained recognition. By the late 20th century, street art and graffiti began to be celebrated in galleries and art institutions, marking a significant shift in how original artwork in this genre was perceived and valued.

Characteristics and Techniques of Original Art in Street and Pop Art

Original artwork in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork is distinguished by its bold use of color, innovative use of space, and often provocative subject matter. Artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Banksy have become iconic figures known for their unique styles and the powerful messages conveyed through their art. The techniques employed in this genre vary, ranging from freehand spray painting to elaborate stenciling and mixed media. The temporary nature of street art – where a piece may be painted over or removed at any time – adds to the uniqueness and significance of each work. This transient aspect highlights the originality and authenticity central to this art form.

Impact and Future Trajectory of Original Artwork in Urban Settings

The impact of original artwork in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork extends beyond the visual realm. It has become a tool for artists to engage with the community, comment on societal issues, and challenge the status quo. The public nature of this art form makes it accessible to a broad audience, allowing for diverse interpretations and discussions. Technology and new media will likely play an increasing role in how this art is created and experienced. However, the essence of originality, rooted in the artist's vision and commentary on the world around them, will continue to be the driving force behind this dynamic and ever-evolving art form.

The Enduring Legacy of Original Artwork in Contemporary Art Movements

The enduring legacy of original artwork in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork is its ability to challenge perceptions, inspire change, and give voice to the voiceless. These art forms have democratized the art world, allowing artists from diverse backgrounds to share their stories and perspectives. As original artwork in these genres continues to evolve and gain recognition, it reaffirms the importance of art as a reflection of society, an agent of change, and a profound medium for personal expression. The ongoing journey of street and pop art signifies a vibrant chapter in contemporary art history, one that continues to influence and inspire artists and art enthusiasts around the globe.
