Cacophony Hand-Painted Multiple Archival Pigment Print on 3 Tiers of Laser-Cut Acrylic Panel ready to hang by Eddie Colla Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2020 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Laser Cut Acrylic Artwork Size 18x18 "The Goldfish Girl was created almost a decade ago. I often revisit it, and she has been the longest continuing character I've created. I often write backstories for these characters to help me create the pieces, but they are generally never shared with the viewer. The Goldfish Girl was born in mainland China and raised mostly by a single father. Her mother passed away when she was 18 months old from cancer. She was often very ill as a child and was eventually diagnosed with a compromised immune system disorder, although a precise diagnosis was never given. This is the reason for always wearing the mask and gloves. Her father bred Goldfish for a living and taught her that trade as a kid. They worked side by side and rarely had visitors because of her condition. Often being extremely ill and also losing her mother made her childhood difficult. As most children do, she tried to find a reason for her misfortune, a reason for why all this had happened to her and her father. Eventually, she believed that her illness and her mother's cancer were punishment by nature. A curse for toying with nature by breeding goldfish. Eventually, her father passed away as well. Needing to make a living and also to taunt fate she illegally immigrated to Hong Kong. There is a famous goldfish market in Mong Kok on Tung Choi street, but it's commonly called goldfish street. With a compromised immune system the most dangerous thing to her was other people. As a challenge to fate, she moved to one of the most densely populated cities in the world. She got a stall on Tung Choi Street. This is her challenge, to taunt fate and win, becoming the master of her own fate. These images are vignettes of her life in Hong Kong. I've never given the character a name. Sometimes she is pictured with a boombox because music becomes a central companion to her mostly solitary life. In the piece Cacophony I wanted her to literally be surrounded by the city. In some way, I think I tried to create a character that embodied a lot of traits I aspire to. To remind me.” - Eddie Colla

Goonie 030 Original Watercolor Art Painting on Framed Fine Art Paper by Surreal Artist Naoto Hattori. 2013 Signed Original One-of-a-Kind Watercolor Painting Framed Artwork Frame Size 8.5x8.5 Image Size 3x3 Custom Framed & Matted By Artist. The Singular Essence of Naoto Hattori's Goonie 030 In the vast landscape of contemporary art, there lies a particular niche where the surreal and the concrete converge. Here, the creations of Naoto Hattori resonate with a peculiar vibrancy, a kind of street pop art that blurs the lines between the urban graffiti art movement and the fantastical realms of the imagination. The 'Goonie 030' original watercolor art painting is a quintessential embodiment of this confluence. The work, created in 2013, is an original signed piece by Hattori, celebrated for its one-of-a-kind presence in the art community. The 'Goonie 030' piece explores the intimate interplay between the medium of watercolor and the surreal artistic impulses that characterize Hattori's oeuvre. The framed artwork, with an image size of 3x3 inches, is a window into a world that defies the ordinary, encapsulating a moment of creative genius in a compact space. The frame size of 8.5x8.5 inches houses the art in a manner that draws the eye inward, focusing the viewer's attention on the intricate details of the painting. Custom framed and matted by the artist himself, 'Goonie 030' is presented in a way that enhances its visual impact. The choice to personally frame the work suggests a level of intimacy and care that Hattori imparts to his pieces. This act of framing is not merely a practical measure but a continuation of the creative process, ensuring that the presentation complements the artwork's thematic content and aesthetic value. Naoto Hattori's Vision in Watercolor Naoto Hattori's work often transcends the conventional boundaries of street pop art and graffiti artwork, and 'Goonie 030' is no exception. The watercolor medium allows fluidity and softness that contrasts with graffiti art's often bold and stark lines. Yet, this very dichotomy elevates the piece, allowing it to speak the language of street art through a whisper rather than a shout. The subtle tonal gradations and the gentle pooling of hues in 'Goonie 030' demonstrate Hattori's deft hand and ability to convey depth and emotion within a confined space. While distinctively surreal, the subject of 'Goonie 030' maintains a passionate connection with the viewer that is frequently sought after in street pop art. The character depicted in the painting, with its endearing yet enigmatic features, serves as a conduit for personal interpretation, much like the transient and often interpretative nature of graffiti art murals adoring city walls. This piece, therefore, becomes a kind of visual poetry, a small stanza in the larger narrative of Hattori's artistic expression. Street Pop Art and the Intimate Scale The trend within street pop art and graffiti artwork has often leaned towards grandiosity in scale, with large murals and installations dominating the scene. However, 'Goonie 030' challenges this trend through its diminutive size, proving that impactful art is open to more than large canvases. In its compact form, this original watercolor painting invites a closer, more personal interaction, akin to reading a novel as opposed to viewing a billboard. In this intimate engagement, the viewer can truly appreciate the meticulous skill and delicate nuances that Hattori has woven into the work. The framing and matting performed by the artist serve to honor the personal scale of the piece, creating a boundary that distinguishes the artwork from the vastness of its surroundings. In a way, this echoes the ethos of street art, which often seeks to carve out a space for individual expression within the public sphere. 'Goonie 030', though housed within the private confines of a collector's domain, carries the spirit of street art in its very essence. The creation of 'Goonie 030' is a testament to Naoto Hattori's versatility as an artist capable of easily traversing the realms of street pop art, graffiti artwork, and surrealism. Through thl watercolor painting, Hattori invites viewers to reflect on the potential of small spaces to hold vast worlds within them. The work stands as a singular statement in the canon of contemporary art. This piece encapsulates the beauty and complexity of Hattori's vision, rendered with the grace and precision that only watercolor can afford.

It wasn't anything I planned; I just had an unexpected amount of free time waiting for my materials to arrive, so I worked with what was available. Each can is signed and dated on the bottom of the can." -Eddie Colla Eddie Colla's Innovation in Street Art Eddie Colla's "Salvage Can 11" stands as a powerful statement within the realm of street pop art and graffiti artwork, an original painting on a spray paint can that marries mixed media techniques with the subversive energy of street art. The work is part of a series created in 2018 during a residency in China, a period that Colla describes as marked by an unexpected hiatus, waiting for art supplies, which led to the innovative use of discarded materials to create something unforeseen yet profound. Colla's "Salvage Can 11" is a testament to the spontaneous and adaptive spirit that often drives street art. Faced with a delay in his usual creative process, Colla turned to the empty spray cans available at his residency, transforming them from tools into canvases. This act of reclamation gave new life to the used cans and challenged the perception of value and utility in art materials. The resulting artwork—a signed original piece—is a mixed-media sculpture that encapsulates the essence of graffiti artwork: raw, immediate, and deeply personal. Visual Dynamics of "Salvage Can 11" The visual impact of "Salvage Can 11" is immediate and visceral. The imagery on the can is haunting, with the figure's features suggesting a blend of humanity and mask-like anonymity—a common theme in Colla's work, which often comments on identity and the individual's place within society. Using acrylic and spray paint adds texture and depth, with the stark black and purple hues commanding attention and drawing the viewer into a contemplative dialogue with the piece. Cultural Significance of Eddie Colla's Work Eddie Colla's contribution to street art extends beyond his murals and public installations. He bridges the gap between the street and the collector's space by bringing his art to a tangible, holdable medium like a spray paint can. "Salvage Can 11" embodies the transient nature of street art, while its existence as a preserved object challenges the ephemerality traditionally associated with the form. Colla's work is a reminder that street art is not confined to public spaces but is a dynamic art form that can inhabit and adapt to any context. The Resonance of the "Salvage Can" Series in Art Collecting The "Salvage Can" series holds a special place in the art collection. Each can, signed and dated by Colla, is not just an artwork but a historical piece that carries the story of its creation. Collectors of street pop art and graffiti artwork are often drawn to pieces with a narrative, and "Salvage Can 11" offers just that—a story of innovation, adaptation, and the creative process that unfolded in an artist's residency across the globe. "Salvage Can 11" is a mixed-media sculpture encapsulating Eddie Colla's innovative spirit and stature as a graffiti legend. The work is symbolic of the creativity that flourishes within the constraints of street art, highlighting Colla's ability to craft compelling narratives from unexpected circumstances. It is a prime example of how street pop art can transcend traditional boundaries and redefine what a canvas can be, inviting a broader audience to engage with the street art movement in new and meaningful ways.

Naoto Hattori's Integration of Surrealism into Street Pop Art The art world continually evolves, especially within the domains of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where each piece serves as a pulse to the vibrant lifeblood of contemporary visual culture. Naoto Hattori's "Goonie 031" is a striking manifestation of this evolution, a piece that interweaves the ethereal aspects of surrealism with the grounded, accessible nature of street art. This 2013 original watercolor painting captures the viewer's imagination, much like a piece of graffiti captures the eye of a passerby. At the heart of "Goonie 031" is Hattori's signature style, a merger of the fantastical and the real, encapsulated in the 3x3-inch painting space. The painting is set within a custom 8.5x8.5 inch frame, a choice that reflects the artist's dedication to the craft. Every aspect of this work, from the fine art paper to the watercolor technique, has been carefully considered and executed by Hattori, highlighting the meticulous nature often found in the creation of graffiti art. Reflecting the Street Art Ethos in Watercolor Medium With its inherent fluidity and capacity for subtle gradations of tone, the watercolor medium might seem at odds with the often bold and aggressive style of street art. However, in "Goonie 031," Hattori uses this medium to channel a soft yet poignant voice that speaks the language of street art through a different dialect. The painting's subject, an enigmatic figure with an expressive gaze, carries an urban tale within its contours, a narrative that resonates with the viewer on an intimate level. Like the unexpected discovery of street art in an urban landscape, the small size of "Goonie 031" invites surprise and discovery. It compels the viewer to step closer and engage with the artwork on a personal level, much like how one might stumble upon a hidden mural in an alleyway. The painting's custom frame acts as a border, creating a window into Hattori's world, just as a building's wall frames a piece of graffiti, offering a glimpse into the street artist's mind. The Collectible Nature of Hattori's Original Artwork In collectible art, especially pieces rooted in the tradition of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, originality and authenticity are paramount. "Goonie 031," a signed and framed original work by Hattori, possesses a high degree of collectibility, much coveted by fans and collectors. The personalized touch of the artist's hand, evident in every brushstroke and the careful selection of framing materials, ensures that the artwork is a visual expression and a tangible piece of Hattori's artistic journey. This collectibility is further enhanced by the artwork's unique positioning within street pop and fine art crossover. Although delicate, Hattori uses the watercolor medium to challenge the normative expectations of street art, thereby expanding the definition of what street-inspired artwork can embody. "Goonie 031" thus is an intriguing piece for collectors who value the intersection of diverse artistic practices and the innovative use of traditional mediums in contemporary art. Cultural Dialogue Through Hattori's Artistic Expression "Goonie 031" is a cultural artifact that captures the conversation between the street and the individual, between the public space and the personal experience. While firmly rooted in the conceptual frameworks of surrealism, Hattori's work engages with the cultural and social dialogues typically associated with street pop art. Though silent in its stationary frame, the watercolor painting speaks volumes through its expressive subject and the emotional resonance of its colors. In a broader cultural context, Hattori's "Goonie 031" contributes to the narrative of street art's influence on the fine arts and vice versa. It exemplifies how street pop art and graffiti's authenticity, rawness, and immediacy can be translated into a more traditional art form while maintaining its connection to the viewer. Hattori's work encourages a contemplative interaction reminiscent of the reflective nature of the best street art, which often prompts passersby to pause and consider the message conveyed through the visual medium. In sum, "Goonie 031" is a testament to Naoto Hattori's talent and ability to transcend traditional art boundaries. It invites viewers to reevaluate their perceptions of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, offering a watercolor narrative that holds as much power and presence as any large-scale mural found on the bustling streets of a city.

Naoto Hattori's "Goonie 032" and the Essence of Street Pop Art In the dynamic world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, the term 'original' carries significant weight. Originality is the lifeblood of an art form that prides itself on its unique voice and resistance to the mainstream. Naoto Hattori's "Goonie 032," a 2013 watercolor painting, embodies this spirit of originality and is a fascinating piece within the broader context of pop and street art. The work, a one-of-a-kind watercolor painting, presents itself not only as an artifact of Hattori's vivid imagination but also as a reflection of the artist's ability to converge the ethos of street pop art with the subtleties of watercolor techniques. Presented on fine art paper, the painting measures 3x3 inches and is housed in a custom frame and matting at 8.5x8.5 inches. It was designed and executed by Hattori himself. This hands-on approach to the artwork's presentation speaks volumes about the artist's commitment to the totality of his craft. From the creation of the painting to its framing, every step is imbued with a personal touch that aligns with the DIY ethos prevalent in street art culture. Interpreting the Surrealism in Hattori's Street Pop Art "Goonie 032" showcases a subject that is quintessentially Hattori – a surreal figure with an almost otherworldly demeanor. The character's facial expression is a contemplative mystery set against an undefined backdrop, allowing the subject to command the viewer's full attention. The use of watercolors adds a dream-like quality to the work, with colors blending into one another, suggesting a fluidity often associated with street art's ever-changing and dynamic nature. The small size of the image within the substantial frame draws a viewer in, demanding close inspection and personal engagement, much like the intimate experience of encountering small yet striking pieces of graffiti or street pop art in unexpected urban nooks. The artistry lies not only in the painting itself but also in the juxtaposition of the scale against the bold statement made by the solid, dark frame that borders it. The Collectibility and Impact of Hattori's Watercolor Works The market for Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork values rarity and the hand of the artist, and Hattori's "Goonie 032" is exemplary in this regard. As a signed original, the painting directly connects to the artist's hand, amplifying its desirability among collectors. The watercolor medium, though not traditionally associated with the often bold and brash medium of street art, is employed by Hattori in such a way that it reflects the nuanced possibilities of street-inspired artwork. This piece asserts that the vibrancy of street art can be conveyed through the subtlety of watercolors, a notion that broadens the definition and reach of street pop art. The act of framing and matting the piece also contributes to its collectibility. By customizing the presentation, Hattori ensures that "Goonie 032" is not just a piece of art but an entire aesthetic experience. This attention to framing is similar to the way street artists often have to work within and around the confines of the spaces they choose to tag or moralize, turning limitations into a part of the creative process. Cultural Significance of "Goonie 032" in Contemporary Art Naoto Hattori's artwork transcends the traditional boundaries of pop art and graffiti, venturing into the realm of the personal and the fantastical. "Goonie 032" manifests how street art's influence has permeated various levels of art production, leading to innovative expressions that maintain a dialogue with viewers akin to the conversations sparked by outdoor murals and illicit tags.
