    Meggs In Bloom I Original Reclaimed Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Meggs

    In Bloom I Original Painting Aerosol, Acrylic, Screenprint & Reclaimed Posters on Wood by ARTIST graffiti street Meggs modern pop art. 2012 Signed Original Mixed Media Spray Paint Acrylic Reclaimed Items Painting Framed Artwork Size 17.5x17.5 Framed Australian artist David “Meggs” Hooke for his solo exhibition Spoiled Rotten. The exhibition of over 40 new paintings and multiples explores the wondrous decay of social morality stemming from modern society’s obsession with pop culture and overindulgent materialism, and continues Meggs’ perpetual fascination with dualism and finding beauty in tragedy.“Detroit is a city of duality more so than many other cities I have been to. I sought to incorporate this by using objects and surfaces that imply decay, in what I consider to be a beautiful way. Old wooden materials and signs with layers of paint tell a story of their own. Although the colors and textures are aesthetically beautiful, I think it’s about giving these materials a new life, a second purpose.” - Meggs

  • What Goes Up Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Meggs

    Meggs What Goes Up Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Meggs

    What Goes Up Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Meggs One of a Kind Artwork on Canvas with Custom Reclaimed Wood Frame by Street Art Pop Artist. 2014 Signed Acrylic & Spray Paint Painting Original Canvas in Artist Hand Made Reclaimed Wood Frame Artwork Size 49x49. From Spoiled Rotten Show. Exploring the Dynamic Essence of Meggs' "What Goes Up" "What Goes Up" is an original acrylic and spray paint painting by the acclaimed street pop artist Meggs that encapsulates the dynamism and energy of his work. Created in 2014, this artwork reflects Meggs' signature style, which harmoniously blends street art's rawness with pop art's vividness. This one-of-a-kind artwork is a statement piece and a storytelling canvas that explores themes prevalent in Meggs' oeuvre, such as the constant struggle between opposing forces and the transient nature of success and failure. The painting measures 46x46 inches and is housed in a custom reclaimed wood frame handcrafted by the artist. Reclaimed wood adds an eco-conscious dimension to the artwork, reinforcing Meggs' interest in sustainability and the repurposing of materials. This choice of framing also accentuates the urban and gritty feel of the painting, resonating with the street art tradition of using found objects and spaces. Artistic Techniques and Visual Impact in "What Goes Up" Meggs employs acrylic and spray paint in "What Goes Up," showcasing his adeptness at using traditional and non-traditional media. The acrylic provides depth and texture, while the spray paint offers a sense of immediacy and spontaneity intrinsic to graffiti artwork. The painting is a cacophony of colors, bursting forth from a central point, suggesting an explosion of energy and creativity. The colors are not just randomly splashed across the canvas; they are meticulously layered to create a visual impact that is both chaotic and controlled. The artwork features a skull motif, a recurring element in Meggs' art, which often symbolizes the transient nature of human existence and the cyclical nature of life. However, in "What Goes Up," the skull is juxtaposed with vibrant colors and comic-style exclamations, which could be interpreted as a commentary on the superficiality of popular culture and the fleeting nature of fame and success. The skull seems to be disintegrating or exploding into an array of colors and shapes, a powerful visual metaphor for the inevitable downfall that follows a rise to the top. Cultural Commentary and the Essence of Street Pop Art The painting's title, "What Goes Up," hints at the adage "what goes up must come down," suggesting a narrative of ascent and descent. Meggs often infuses his Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork with philosophical musings and critical observations of society. The work symbolizes the cyclical patterns of life and can be seen as a reflection of the transient nature of success or the hubris that often precedes a fall. The artist's use of text in the painting, rendered in a comic book style, adds a layer of communication with the viewer, inviting them to ponder the deeper meanings behind the vibrant facade. The piece is a testament to the artist's ability to navigate the space between gallery and street art, making it accessible to a diverse audience. The inclusivity of street art is evident in Meggs' work, where the public space becomes a canvas for dialogue, and the art becomes a part of the everyday urban landscape. "What Goes Up" is not just a visual spectacle but also a piece of cultural commentary, encapsulating the ethos of street art and its role in contemporary discourse. "What Goes Up" is a prime example of Meggs' impact on the field of street art and his contribution to the broader pop art movement. The painting manifests the artist's dedication to craft, concept, and commentary. Through the integration of various artistic techniques and the strategic use of reclaimed materials, Meggs has created an artwork that is both a visual feast and a conceptual powerhouse. The significance of Meggs' work lies in its ability to resonate with viewers on multiple levels. This work can be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and ability to evoke emotion and provoke thought. As a piece of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, "What Goes Up" embodies the spirit of this genre, which continues to push the boundaries of art and its place in society. It remains a poignant piece within Meggs' body of work and within the larger conversation of contemporary art.

Original Artwork

Original Artwork as a Core Medium in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork

Original artwork remains the most direct and impactful form of creative expression within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. These works, executed by hand in a single iteration, serve as the foundation of an artist’s visual identity. Whether composed on canvas, wood, street signs, found objects, or walls, original pieces are where experimentation, emotion, and intent are fully visible. Artists working in this space often blend graffiti-based techniques with graphic aesthetics, using materials like aerosol, ink, acrylic, and marker to develop layered compositions. Each original artwork stands apart from multiples or editions because it is singular—a one-off that embodies the gesture and immediacy of the artist’s hand. In a culture shaped by tagging, repetition, and stylized language, the original work holds particular weight, not only as an object of authenticity but as a form of raw communication.

Technique, Surface, and Raw Process

The process of creating original artwork within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork is often defined by speed, layering, and material responsiveness. Many artists trained in graffiti culture carry with them a commitment to direct mark-making and improvisation. Surfaces are selected not only for their texture or durability but for their connection to the urban environment. Metal panels, salvaged signage, shipping crates, and concrete slabs are all commonly repurposed as canvases. Paint application varies from clean, graphic block-outs to expressive drips, fades, and sprays. In many cases, the energy of the piece lies in its imperfections—overspray, buffed areas, or abrupt transitions are not hidden, they are celebrated as part of the visual language. The use of stencil, sticker layering, and raw brushwork reflects the ongoing influence of the street, where control and chaos are in constant negotiation.

Artist Voice and Cultural Positioning

Original artwork allows for full expression of the artist’s intent without the boundaries of format, size, or duplication. Within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, artists like OG Slick, Shepard Fairey, Retna, and Futura have all built careers around the strength of their original pieces. These works often carry deeper commentary than their commercial counterparts, diving into themes such as consumerism, rebellion, identity, and coded language. The ability to paint freely, to make permanent decisions without concern for replication, creates a space where risk and vision intersect. Many artists return to original works as a way to evolve or reset their approach. It is within the one-of-one painting or sculpture that new techniques are often born—then carried forward into print runs, murals, or product design.

Collectors and Institutional Value of One-of-One Works

Original artwork within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork has gained significant attention in both private and institutional collections. As the line between contemporary and urban art continues to dissolve, these unique pieces are now featured in museum collections, major exhibitions, and fine art auctions. The scarcity of originals elevates their value, not just in market terms but in cultural significance. Each piece represents an unfiltered snapshot of the artist’s mindset at a specific moment. While prints and editions extend reach and accessibility, originals are held as archives of the creative process, where surface, intent, and execution converge. In a visual culture often saturated by digital imagery and mass production, the original artwork asserts itself as irreplaceable—standing as a document, a statement, and a physical presence that reflects the urgency and influence of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.
