Temper Tot Tramples Guernica Silkscreen by Ron English- POPaganda Hand-Pulled 4-Color Screen on 320gsm Coventry Rag Paper Mural Pop Street Art Artwork. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 199 Artwork Size 43x25 "Temper Tot Tramples Guernica" is an evocative piece by Ron English- POPaganda, a seminal figure in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. English, known for his masterful blending of high and low cultural touchstones, presents a 2021 silkscreen juxtaposing his iconic Temper Tot character against the backdrop of Picasso's historic mural "Guernica." This work is part of a limited edition series, meticulously hand-pulled on 320gsm Coventry Rag Paper, known for its exceptional quality and durability. The artwork is substantial, with an image measuring 19 by 38 inches and paper size extending to 25 by 43 inches, allowing the visual drama and detail to unfold powerfully before the viewer. English's work is part of a limited run of 199 pieces, along with artist proofs and foundation proofs, each signed and numbered in pencil by the artist. This specificity in documentation provides collectors with a guarantee of the artwork's authenticity and exclusivity. Ron English- POPaganda's artwork is recognized for critically engaging with cultural narratives and iconic figures. In "Temper Tot Tramples Guernica," English superimposes his superhero-like toddler over Picasso's black-and-white portrayal of the tragedies of war, thereby infusing the somber historical narrative with a contemporary and ironic twist. The Temper Tot, with his exaggerated musculature and childlike impulsivity, becomes a symbol of unchecked power and emotional rawness, a stark contrast to the solemnity of Picasso's anti-war masterpiece. The choice of the Temper Tot, one of English's most famous characters, known for embodying the artist's critique of American consumerism and corporatization, presents a compelling dialogue between past and present political discourse. This dialogue is further emphasized by the vibrancy of the silkscreen technique, a hallmark of English's practice, which brings the historical into the immediate and visceral realm of street art. "Temper Tot Tramples Guernica" was printed by the renowned Gary Lichtenstein Editions and distributed by WCC Editions, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship in producing this print. The paper's hand-deckled edges contribute to the unique character of each piece, as they echo the textured, often imperfect surfaces of urban environments where street art naturally resides. The mural from which this print originated was created in 2015 under the auspices of the Lisa Project NYC, further cementing English's role in the urban landscape of public art. By moving from the transient medium of murals to the permanence of limited edition prints, English allows for a wider dissemination of his ideas, enabling a broader audience to engage with his provocative juxtapositions and vibrant imagery. Ron English- POPaganda's "Temper Tot Tramples Guernica" serves as a poignant reminder of the power of Street Pop Art to comment on society, offering a bridge between historical consciousness and contemporary critique. It stands as a testament to the potential of street art to infuse spaces, whether public or private, with layered meanings and vibrant visual impact.

Contact Study 7 Original Painting/Drawing Acrylic & Colored Pencil on 100lb Bristol Board Paper by Taylor White Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "I started studying a form of modern dance called Contact Improvisation, and that study has opened me up to a new set of curiosities which I’ve been able to explore both physically in space, and visually on the page. It became about the point of surrender, of the sacrifice of the ego and all its trappings. To 'dance' on paper has been entirely mind-opening and I’ve tackled it with a renewed spirit. I’ve been playing with the use of fluorescents to give more of a vibrant mood to the images. I had a lot of fun playing around with the blues and reds in this piece, the push and pull of light and shadow and using vibrance and color to direct focus around the planes of the piece." - Taylor White

This print is of one of the first completed paintings of our collaborative series which is an exercise in striking a balance between the traditional, sentimental, and chaotic. This first piece is really where the artistic conversation between Malt and I really took shape - about who we are individually and what we wanted to create together." - Mark Penxa

Blackbook Untitled Drawing Original Mixed Media Painting Art on Art Paper by Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Artist Sen2. 2005 Signed Sen2 "Untitled" Blackbook Drawing Framed Ink Marker Pencil Graffiti Framed Artwork Size 25.5x19 Blackbook Untitled Drawing by Sen2 This 2005 untitled blackbook drawing by renowned graffiti street artist Sen2 captures a raw and precise moment from the sketchbook practice of one of the most iconic writers to rise from the Bronx. Rendered in ink, marker, and pencil on art paper, the piece exemplifies the artist's geometric energy, color mastery, and dynamic flow. The framed artwork measures 25.5 by 19 inches and delivers the intensity of handstyle illustration and three-dimensional letterplay that defined graffiti's move from the subway to the studio. From Wildstyle to Precision Draftsmanship Sen2, born Sandro Figueroa Garcia in Puerto Rico, became a central figure in New York City's graffiti movement during the 1980s. This blackbook drawing embodies his transition from bombing walls and trains to refining his craft within the structure of studio practice. Each stroke of marker and wash of color in the work is intentional, sharpened by years of experience with aerosol and street surfaces. Sen2's ability to maintain the rebellious spirit of wildstyle while embracing architectural structure and visual clarity sets him apart in the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Layered Color and Visual Tension The composition bursts with contrast. Soft pastels in blue, yellow, green, and orange interplay against thick black shadows and clean directional lines that suggest movement and spatial depth. These overlapping forms evoke the energy of subway pieces while grounded in the polish of gallery-ready drawing. The arrows, textures, and interlocking angles pull the viewer through layers of intention—each edge refined, each fill pattern calculated yet expressive. The drawing captures not only form but attitude, with a style that suggests motion, control, and continual evolution. Studio Evolution of Graffiti Language Sen2's untitled piece belongs to a larger movement in which blackbooks became not just preparatory tools but finished works in their own right. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork often begins in sketch form, and this piece stands as a definitive artifact of that process. It documents a moment of imagination before execution—where letters transform into weapons of style, and the street’s visual dialect is transcribed into a gallery-safe medium. For collectors, the work offers a window into the raw talent and thought process of one of graffiti's modern pioneers, preserved with care and now framed as art history in motion.

Black Widow Black & Red 21_21a Original Spray Paint Charcoal Painting by Saber One of a Kind Artwork on Fine Art Paper by Street Art Pop Artist. 2022 Signed Spray Paint & Charcoal Pencil Original Painting On Hand Deckled Paper Size 15x17.5. "I love Black Widows ⚫️ ♦️🕷... growing up in Southern California we are surrounded by them. Once you notice thier presents they have a tendency to seep into your subconscious, as they have mine. I spent a little extra time with this series. I added little spider and web details hidden in each piece. Also I'm including some extra gifts created for this series within the packaging. These are not prints but individual paintings. This was created by dipping the edges of the paper in water then quickly scrawling on it with waterbased spraypaint using a fat cap. Then, quickly blast it with a hose while it is still wet to reveal the spraypaints ghost like textures and whips. These ghost shapes become the pathways to then detail out with black charcoal pencil. Because of the fast chaotic nature of the first stage of this process using the spraypaint each piece becomes unique yet simular. The detailing process of the second stage using the black charcoal pencil is slower paced and requires more attention. This drawing process becomes cathartic and meditative as each little puzzle is completed. -Also, as I was working on this series, my son was inspired to draw this baby blackwidow drawing. He insisted I hide this as a gift in one of the packages as a thank you.." -Saber

Full Force Silkscreen Print by Indie184- Soraya Marquez Hand-Pulled Screen on 320gsm Coventry Rag Paper Mural Pop Street Artwork. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 199 Artwork Size 35x20 Hand Deckled Full Force by Indie184 – Color, Confidence, and Culture in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Full Force is a 2021 hand-pulled silkscreen print by Soraya Marquez, professionally known as Indie184. Printed on 320gsm Coventry Rag paper, this vibrant edition measures 35 x 20 inches and is hand deckled for a raw, authentic finish. Produced in a limited edition of 199 signed and numbered prints, the work embodies Indie184’s explosive style—an energetic mix of graffiti layering, pop portraiture, and personal empowerment themes. The centerpiece of the image features a mirrored pair of classic Hollywood-style female profiles, each accented with stylized lightning bolts extending from their heads. These powerful figures are framed by technicolor graffiti splashes, starbursts, bubble lettering, and paint drips, building a high-impact visual language that defines Marquez’s contribution to the Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork movement. Empowerment Through Street Art Feminism Indie184, born Soraya Marquez in New York City, is a self-taught street artist with Dominican roots whose work is rooted in female empowerment, hip-hop culture, and graffiti heritage. In Full Force, the symmetrical female portraits symbolize strength and reflection, offset by bold lightning bolts and surrounded by graffiti chaos that communicates vitality, resilience, and creative force. The title Full Force is painted in large, expressive graffiti lettering across the bottom of the print, reinforcing the theme of power—emotional, creative, and cultural. Indie184’s ability to balance beauty, rebellion, and personal voice places her at the forefront of contemporary urban art, where women’s perspectives are increasingly asserting space and defining aesthetics within a historically male-dominated visual landscape. Technique, Texture, and Visual Energy The print utilizes traditional silkscreen methods to apply multiple layers of color, texture, and graphic components, each with high opacity and crisp detail. The 320gsm Coventry Rag paper provides both durability and an absorbent surface, ideal for capturing the complex interplay of hand-drawn elements, graffiti marks, and portrait stenciling. The hand deckled edges of the paper add an organic frame that enhances the street-born energy of the composition. Indie184’s print technique mirrors her large-scale mural work, translating the expressive power of wall art into a fine art format without compromising intensity. The result is a piece that is equally at home in a gallery or in a collector’s urban-inspired interior. Indie184’s Fusion of Street Grit and Pop Glamour Full Force represents Indie184’s approach to cultural fusion—where graffiti tagging meets high fashion, classic film icons meet spray paint aesthetics, and feminine elegance meets the raw voice of the streets. Her use of bold colors and layered design speaks to the spirit of the city, while her incorporation of figures, text, and symbols reflect themes of identity, transformation, and visibility. The work is not just decorative; it is declarative. It states that graffiti can be glamorous, that pop can be political, and that femininity can be fierce. In the broader world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Full Force exemplifies the power of visual expression to challenge, celebrate, and shift culture. Indie184 continues to expand her influence across continents while staying true to her roots—bold, unapologetic, and always in full force.

Companion Model Drawing Original Graphite Drawing by Robert Lazzarini on Fine Art Paper Modern Street Pop Artwork. 2010 Signed Original Graphite Pencil Drawing Size 11.5x14.5. Robert Lazzarini (b. 1965) Companion Model Drawing, c. 2010 Graphite on paper 14-1/2 x 11-1/2 inches (36.8 x 29.2 cm) (sheet) Signed in pencil to lower right. Exploring Robert Lazzarini's Companion Model Drawing in the Context of Street Pop and Graffiti Art American contemporary artist Robert Lazzarini was born in 1965 and is renowned for his mind-bending sculptures that manipulate everyday items such as guns, chairs, and skulls. These pieces challenge our understanding of reality, incorporating a mix of computer-aided design and traditional sculpting methods. Lazzarini completed his studies at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, earning his BFA in 1990. His artwork has been showcased in numerous galleries and museums across the globe, with some of his most notable exhibitions being held at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Hirshhorn Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Lazzarini's sculptures are famous for their ability to distort and alter our spatial perception. His creations' unconventional shapes and dimensions make the viewer question the objects themselves and the reality they occupy. Lazzarini's artwork challenges us to reconsider our assumptions and preconceptions about the world around us by presenting familiar objects in unfamiliar ways. The art world is an ever-evolving landscape, and within its broad spectrum lies the fusion genre of Street Pop Art, a style that embodies the rebellious spirit of street art with the mass appeal of pop art. It's within this creative milieu that Robert Lazzarini's "Companion Model Drawing," a graphite-on-paper creation, finds its place. This artwork, dating back to circa 2010, represents a significant contribution to the genre, offering a unique blend of street art's grit and pop art's accessible imagery. Born in 1965, Lazzarini has been a prominent figure in the contemporary art scene, known for his distortion of familiar objects and icons, effectively challenging viewers' perceptions and expectations. The "Companion Model Drawing" is a testament to his distinctive approach, as it presents the viewer with a sketch that appears to be simple at first glance but reveals complex undercurrents upon closer inspection. The piece size, 14-1/2 x 11-1/2 inches, is intimate, inviting personal engagement, and the graphite medium gives it a raw, unfinished quality that resonates with the ethos of street art. Interpreting Lazzarini's Artistic Technique and Street Pop Art Aesthetic Lazzarini's work is often characterized by a meticulous technique that belies the chaotic impression it leaves. This is evident in the "Companion Model Drawing," where the lines are deliberate and precise, yet the overall effect is disorientation and altered reality. Though rendered in graphite, this drawing carries the visual weight and immediacy often associated with graffiti artwork. The boldness of the lines and the shading techniques contribute to a three-dimensional effect, making the drawing leap off the fine art paper. While not a traditional example of graffiti art, the artwork embodies the movement's spirit through its engagement with popular culture and subversive elements. The subject of the drawing, which can be described as a deconstructed character, resonates with the iconography typical in street and pop art. Lazzarini's signature in pencil at the bottom right corner adds a personal touch to the piece, anchoring it firmly within the artist's body of work. The Cultural Relevance of Lazzarini's Work in Modern Art Discourse Street Pop Art is not merely an aesthetic; it's a cultural phenomenon that speaks to societal narratives, often acting as a visual language for urban experiences. Lazzarini's "Companion Model Drawing" engages with this dialogue through its subject matter and execution. The choice of a companion model, a figure that could be interpreted as a guide or an alter ego, reflects the personal yet universal themes that street art explores. The artwork blurs the lines between high art and the more democratically accessible street art, embodying the inclusive nature of modern art movements. Moreover, Lazzarini's drawing bridges the immediacy of street art and the enduring nature of fine art. While graffiti is ephemeral, often painted over or washed away, the permanence of graphite on paper allows this piece to become a lasting record of artistic expression. It captures a moment in time within the street pop art movement, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and study. Conclusion: The Impact of Lazzarini's Companion Model Drawing In conclusion, Robert Lazzarini's "Companion Model Drawing" is a significant piece at the intersection of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. Its execution in graphite on fine art paper transcends the temporary nature of street art, allowing it to be appreciated as a long-lasting artifact. The piece showcases Lazzarini's technical prowess and embodies the essence of street pop art—a blend of subcultural depth and pop culture iconography. As a signed original graphite pencil drawing from 2010, it carries the hallmarks of Lazzarini's style: a thought-provoking distortion of reality that challenges and engages the viewer. This artwork remains a crucial reference point for those interested in the evolution of street-inspired art within contemporary art discourse.
