    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.

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

Painting Original Artwork
Graffiti is an art form that originated on the streets and has gained recognition as a legitimate form of artistic expression. Graffiti artists use various materials and mediums to create their works, including spray paint, markers, and stickers. While graffiti is often associated with the urban environment and public spaces, it has also made its way into galleries and museums as fine art. Both canvas and fine art paper are great options for displaying graffiti art, and the choice ultimately depends on the artist's preference and the desired effect of the artwork. Canvas may be preferred for larger, more expressive works, while fine art paper may be better suited for detailed or intricate designs. Graffiti paintings on canvas and fine art paper are two popular mediums for displaying graffiti art. Graffiti paintings on canvas typically involve using spray paint and other materials to create an image on a canvas surface. The canvas provides a durable and long-lasting surface for the artwork and can be easily stretched and framed for display. Fine art paper, on the other hand, is a high-quality paper designed for printing fine art prints. Graffiti artists can create digital designs that are then printed onto the paper, resulting in a high-quality print that can be framed and displayed like traditional art. Nowadays, graffiti art has found its way into the world of more traditional disciplines too, such as painting. In this case, it is not uncommon that the artwork is based on the same techniques and resources as traditional graffiti. As a result, the use of typical spray paint can be used in creating graffiti paintings as well. Nonetheless, it is, also, possible that artists use other kinds of resources, more usually found inside art studios, such as pens, watercolors, oil paint e.tc, which are not conventionally utilized for the creation of works on the streets. Simultaneously, graffiti in the form of paintings, digital or handmade, allows the artists to take their time and focus on the creative process, especially taking into consideration the legal consequences of creating on public sites. Thus, frequently both the preparatory process and the potential exhibition of the painting works can be made indoors, making apparent how much graffiti has evolved over the decades. Finally, graffiti in the form of paintings seems to last longer in comparison with art on the streets, where local authorities tend to clean or cover up numerous pieces due to their illegal status. On the other hand, exactly due to their creation behind closed doors, such pieces tend to win less visibility since they are not exposed to the public on an everyday basis. Graffiti emerged in the US during the late 1960s, and, naturally, almost 50 years later, this art has gone through many stages of reformation. Aspects of the creative process, such as the materials in use and the techniques, have evolved tremendously, as well as the perception of graffiti as a respectable form of art.  On top of that, the former “writers” or “taggers” are now referred to as artists, a development that arose with the evergrowing institutionalization and commercialization of graffiti. Needless to say, graffiti has never ceased to exist in public sight and, with time, authorities all over the world have come to accept to a certain extent the presence of it inside the city web. As a result, the legal status of “writing” has enabled artists to experiment more freely with new materials and techniques, a development that has emerged especially during the past decade. Painting Original Artwork & Painting Original Artwork Graffiti Street Pop Art
