Walk on the Wild Side Mixed Media Silkscreen Print by Faile Acrylic Spray Paint on Hand-Pulled Deckled Thick Lennox Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18.11x25 Silkscreen Print, Acrylic Paint & Spray Paint Mixed Media. Faile Barking Dog Pasters on Brick Wall as Calssy Woman with Dog Walks By in New York City. Exploring the Urban Narrative: "Walk on the Wild Side" by Faile Faile's "Walk on the Wild Side" mixed media silkscreen print is a compelling testament to the dynamic interplay between street pop art and graffiti artwork. This limited edition piece, with only a hundred prints in existence, encapsulates the vibrancy of urban life through its meticulously crafted layers of acrylic and spray paint on hand-pulled deckled thick Lenox fine art paper. Measuring 18.11x25 inches, this artwork is not merely a visual statement but a narrative woven into New York City's aesthetic dialogue. Faile, a collaborative duo known for their impactful art that often adorns urban environments, has brought the street's essence onto a tangible canvas. Their use of the iconic barking dog — a motif recurrent in their work — set against a brick wall background speaks volumes of the city's untamed energy. The contrast between the grit of the street and the polished appearance of the passing woman with her dog creates a juxtaposition at the heart of street pop art. This imagery captures the essence of New York's diverse character, where the refined and the rough-hewn exist side by side. The silkscreen print technique employed by Faile for this artwork is a nod to traditional pop art methods, yet the inclusion of acrylic and spray paint introduces a tactile depth often found in graffiti. The choice of materials — the thick Lenox fine art paper with its raw, deckled edges — further emphasizes the blend of the refined with the urban edge. Each element of the print, from the medium to the imagery, is a deliberate choice that underscores the narrative of coexistence and contrast. Symbolism and Style in Faile's Street-Inspired Artistry The symbolism in "Walk on the Wild Side" is multilayered, with the barking dog pasters as a signature of Faile's street heritage. These posters, often seen on the city's brick walls, represent the voice of the streets — loud, unapologetic, and fiercely territorial. By transplanting this symbol onto fine art paper, Faile bridges the gap between street art's transient nature and the permanence sought by fine art collectors. The woman, depicted in a classic, almost vintage style, and her domesticated dog starkly contrast the wild, untamed expression of the barking dog pasters. It's a visual play on the duality of man's nature and the societal norms that govern our public personas versus our inner instincts. Faile's style in this print is unmistakably rooted in street pop art. The bold lines, stark contrasts, and the layering of different media all indicate an aesthetic that has evolved from the streets. Their work often reflects the visual noise of the city — the advertisements, the political posters, the graffiti — all competing for attention. "Walk on the Wild Side" is a curated slice of this chaos, presented with a clarity that allows each element to be appreciated for its merit and contribution to the whole. The Cultural Resonance of Faile's Mixed Media Print "Walk on the Wild Side" is not just an artwork; it's a cultural artifact that resonates with the heartbeat of New York City. Faile has captured a moment in time, a scene that plays out daily on the sidewalks of the metropolis, and elevated it to a piece of art that commands contemplation. The silkscreen print serves as a reminder of the city's relentless pace, the ever-present clash of cultures, and the beauty that arises from unexpected combinations. This work is a celebration of the city's identity, a snapshot of the mundane transformed into the extraordinary through the lens of street pop art and graffiti. The limited edition nature of the print adds an element of exclusivity, creating a tangible connection between the owner and the city's street art scene. Signed and numbered by the artists, each print is an original piece of Faile's artistic legacy. Collectors of "Walk on the Wild Side" are not just acquiring a piece of art; they are preserving a fragment of the city's cultural narrative that continues to influence the trajectory of street pop art and graffiti artwork globally. In the end, "Walk on the Wild Side" by Faile is more than a mixed media silkscreen print; it is an emblem of the street's voice, a dialogue between the wild and the cultivated, and a testament to the enduring allure of urban art. It encapsulates the essence of a city that is both a canvas and a muse, continually inspiring artists like Faile to create works as provocative as they are visually arresting.

During the first years of its existence, the group did not work inside a studio of its own and, as a result, 1999-2005 has been a period of experimentation for them with different media of creation, as well as ways of exhibiting their work. FAILE has embraced both “traditional” media, such as painting, sculpture, and printmaking, and, at the same time, less conventional ones, for example, window pallets and even prayer wheels.

Forbidden Forever HPM Acrylic Silkscreen Print by Faile Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2007 Signed & Numbered Acrylic HPM Embellished Limited Edition of 15 Artwork Size 17.9x24 Faile is a Brooklyn-based artistic collaboration between Patrick McNeil (born 1975) and Patrick Miller (born 1976). Initially founded in 1999, the duo is known for their wide-ranging multimedia practice, recognized for its explorations of duality through a fragmented style of appropriation and collage. Working in the vein of popular culture and frequently referencing mass consumerism, Faile's work encompasses a variety of materials and techniques, including painting, silkscreening, stencils, stickers, sculpture, and more. Their art has been exhibited in a wide array of contexts, from city walls and lamp posts to galleries and museums around the world, such as Perry Rubenstein Gallery, New York; Dallas Contemporary, Dallas; and Palais de Tokyo, Paris. The name "Faile" is an anagram of "A life", which signifies the duo's shared philosophy towards their work. They are known to embrace the dichotomies of art and popular culture, acknowledging the fluidity and ubiquity of imagery in the modern world. HPM, or Hand-Painted Multiples, is a term used to describe a specific method of silkscreen printing. In HPM silkscreen printing, each piece of an edition is individually embellished or altered by the artist, thereby making each print within the edition unique. This technique can often be seen in street art and other forms of contemporary art. Silkscreen printing, also known as screen printing, is a process that involves pushing ink through a stenciled mesh screen to create a printed design. It's a popular technique used in a variety of different industries, such as fine art, fashion, and marketing, due to its versatility in adapting to different materials and surfaces. Artists like Faile often utilize HPM silkscreen printing to create limited editions of their work. This method allows them to produce a series of pieces that maintain a consistent theme or image, but with individual variations that make each piece unique. This can range from changes in color, to additional elements, to hand-finishing details. This results in each print being not just a copy, but a unique work of art.

Diamond FAILEdoodle- Red/Black 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen, Acrylic, Spraypaint, Silkscreen Ink and Glitter Print on Archival Lenox Paper by Faile Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Diamond FAILEdoodle: Red/Black 19 x 25 Inches Each variant an edition of 25 Acrylic, Spraypaint, Silkscreen Ink and Glitter on Archival Lenox 100 Signed, Stamped and Embossed A new breed of Faile Dog was born last year. First found on the streets of New York this pup found its way into the studio and really came to life.

All stained, sprayed, painted and printed; it's all the hallmarks of a studio print now with a lot more shine. Using the words of the artists themselves, the artwork “gives a person the sense that it is there just for them. That they've stumbled across this great little gem amidst the chaos of daily life that can really speak to them. We try to build in a certain ambiguity that leaves the door open for the viewer to find themselves within the story.” This relational character of the FAILE’s art corresponds and becomes amplified by their consistent travel and lack of a permanent studio until the mid-2000s. This resulted in the duo’s embracement and utilization of urban streets and, naturally, gave the produced work a “site-specific” character since public art inevitably adjusts itself to the location of the display.

All stained, sprayed, painted and printed; it's all the hallmarks of a studio print now with a lot more shine. Once their artworks enter the public sphere, the viewer is invited to engage and interact with them. FAILE does not believe in a higher meaning or an absolute truth that exists outside of the audience’s perception, which eventually is encouraged to sculpt the meaning. The creative process jumps from one theme to the other, connecting everything in an intertextual delirium and, in the end, the audience takes the responsibility of interpreting it. This is, by itself, a revolutionary act of anti-elitism, since the meaning of the work can be now found in the mass’s reaction, placing FAILE in the spectrum of site-specificity and relational aesthetics.
