Mr A PP Printers Proof Silkscreen Print by Mr André Saraiva Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. PP Printers Proof 2020 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 12x28 Silkscreen Print Mr A PP Printer’s Proof by Mr André Saraiva – Character Romance in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Mr A PP is a 2020 hand-pulled silkscreen print by French-Portuguese street artist Mr André Saraiva, executed on fine art paper in a 12 x 28 inch vertical format. This artwork is a signed and marked printer’s proof from a limited edition run, highlighting the precision and individuality of the printmaking process. Featuring the artist’s iconic alter ego Mr A, the piece captures the spirit of joyful rebellion, romantic mischief, and timeless graffiti personality that defines Saraiva’s legacy in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Mr A stands tall and thin, his wide grin and crossed eyes drawn in confident black linework over a vivid electric blue spray-painted background. Surrounding him are playful symbols—hearts, curls, and floating marks—that turn the figure into a charismatic emblem of love, irony, and freedom. Mr A as Urban Icon and Emotional Blueprint The Mr A character, with his top hat, single winking eye, and perpetual grin, has appeared on walls, alleyways, rooftops, and galleries across the world since the late 1980s. In this print, Saraiva renders him in a simplified yet expressive pose—his elongated limbs, floating presence, and casual posture reflect both elegance and absurdity. The XO on his face references affection and irreverence in equal measure. This version of Mr A floats effortlessly in a sea of blue mist, his whimsical form flanked by hand-drawn hearts and abstract doodles. The character becomes a visual haiku: minimal, coded, and expressive. Within the framework of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Mr A functions as both a personal avatar and universal symbol, able to express charm, distance, and attitude through just a few lines and gestures. Spray and Screen Technique on Fine Art Paper This silkscreen print is more than a reproduction—it is a hand-crafted object that blends printing precision with graffiti spontaneity. The base features layered spray patterns in rich turquoise and teal tones, with paint clouds and speckled bursts giving the background depth and kinetic energy. Over this energetic ground, the silkscreened Mr A is printed in sharp black ink, maintaining the loose vitality of Saraiva’s original line drawings. The print’s verticality enhances the figure’s lightness, as though he is levitating between the layers of paint. The fine art paper captures every stroke and edge without gloss, retaining the street-born roughness while offering the durability and clarity expected from contemporary fine editions. Mr André Saraiva and the Line Between Romance and Rebellion Mr André Saraiva’s work operates where elegance meets graffiti, where flirtation meets permanence. Mr A PP distills this ethos into a single figure—his arms stretched, his presence untouchable, and his smile disarming. The artwork is not about volume or noise, but about character. Mr A exists as a romantic ambassador of urban expression, appearing as both a trace of the artist and a public invitation to feel lighter. In the language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this print is a perfect artifact: expressive, minimal, confident, and instantly iconic. Through Mr A, Saraiva writes a love letter to cities, to spontaneity, and to the enduring power of a simple line to carry deep meaning.

So Hood- PP Printers Proof Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on 310gsm Bright White Fine Art Paper by Artist Bask, Street Pop Art Graffiti Legend. Signed & Numbered Archival Pigment Print on 310gsm on Bright White Fine Art Paper Size: 16 x 24 Inches Release: August 28, 2015 Run of: 50 "This piece was created very late in 2013 and it has many layers. I first processed down panels to get the tiled effect I desired. Then I started to lay down layer of texture which eventually ended with the portrait seen. It was originally made for an event I did at the Saint Petersburg Museum of Art. The show paired 5 artists with 5 locally celebrated chefs to collaborate. The chef was to make a dish inspired by the work. The piece was also made in as part of an on going series of portrait works painted mostly in halftones. I like working with weather old wood for the unique texture it provides. With this piece I didn't want to use a single piece of wood but several to achieve a wood tile look much like the facade of an abandoned building. People should buy this piece because it hopefully speaks to them in a similar way it spoke to me when I made it. People should also buy the print because prints from 1xRUN are simply put, fucking awesome!" - Bask

Vader Grin Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper by Ron English- POPaganda Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2020 Signed & Numbered #2 (Originally Reserved As PP Printers Proof) Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 12x12 Star Wars Darth Vader Skeleton Grin Smiley. Ron English's Vader Grin and the Warped Language of Iconography Ron English’s Vader Grin fuses dystopian sci-fi symbolism with the subversive vocabulary of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Released in 2020 as a limited edition archival pigment print, the piece measures 12x12 inches and was produced on 290gsm Moab fine art paper. This particular edition, originally held as Printer’s Proof #2, forms part of a 100-print run, each signed and numbered by the artist. The work reimagines the helmeted visage of Darth Vader—one of cinema’s most recognizable figures—by seamlessly embedding English’s trademark skeletal grin beneath the mask. The result is a jarring yet alluring hybrid that simultaneously honors and mocks the power of cultural icons. The work relies on visual contradiction. The hyper-glossy black helmet, reflecting cool blues and menacing reds, feels ominous and theatrical. Yet the grin beneath it introduces grotesque levity. It is not merely a skull, but a warped, cartoonish smile that undermines the mythic power typically associated with the character. English uses this visual tension to create discomfort, inviting viewers to question what lies beneath their cultural obsessions. By merging a corporate media character with his skeletal smile, English distills themes of decay, commodification, and spectacle. Visual Tactics Rooted in Street Pop and Graffiti Art Ron English built his career on hijacking visual systems. His approach combines photorealism with absurdity, blending polished fine art techniques with aesthetics borrowed from street murals and graffiti culture. Vader Grin sits at the intersection of these traditions. Though the print is created with archival precision, the electric glow surrounding the helmet mimics the energy of neon street lighting or aerosol fades. The blue halo contrasts sharply with the blood-red reflections on one side of the mask, giving the image a radioactive aura that feels both synthetic and urgent. English’s background in billboard takeovers and illegal mural work informs every detail of the piece. His choice to deface an archetype of cinematic villainy with a smile nods to graffiti’s function as cultural resistance. It reflects the artist’s long-standing interest in how images dominate urban space and public imagination. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork often collapses the barrier between fine art and mass media, and Vader Grin thrives in that collapse. It operates as both parody and portrait, critique and celebration. Skeletal Symbols and the Politics of Satire The skeletal grin, a recurring motif throughout Ron English’s body of work, serves as more than a visual joke. It operates as a critique of power, often layered over figures who symbolize authority, consumer manipulation, or mythologized violence. In Vader Grin, the deathly smile strips the character of gravitas, revealing a hollowed-out husk beneath layers of narrative and merchandising. The mask is no longer a tool of intimidation—it becomes a vessel of emptiness, the face of a brand designed for mass appeal but drained of human substance. The work fits into a broader history of Street Pop Art where artists interrogate the allure of media-generated heroes and villains. English’s satire does not merely poke fun at pop culture—it exposes how symbols are consumed without critical engagement. The skeletal transformation represents the erosion of meaning beneath constant reproduction. In Vader Grin, the viewer is left to contend with a familiar face turned alien, a symbol of evil turned into a smirking relic, smiling through the collapse of its own mythology.
