Happiness Is Expensive- Grey & Pink Limited Edition Hand-Embellished 6-Color Screen Prints on 300gsm Fabrino Rosapina Paper by Prefab77 Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "Happiness is Expensive is part of a theme we are developing, keeping our hard, fast-edged style and mixing with portraiture. We want to explore the iconography and the power of the female form in traditional art, music, and fashion. Throughout the ages, portraits are used to reflect the subject but also the time period that the subject inhabits, with secret messages, religious affiliations, and iconography woven into the piece. We want to take this forward and use the main figurative element to reflect these messages into a powerful piece. We want to bridge the gap between street art and traditional art by using a mixture of Acrylic, Spraypaint, stencils, wheat pastes and various screen print inks in our work layering these into luxurious prints and originals." - Prefab77 "Happiness Is Expensive - Grey & Pink" is a captivating limited edition screen print by Prefab77, a renowned artist in graffiti street art and modern pop art. This hand-embellished artwork, rendered on 300gsm Fabriano Rosapina paper, is a testament to Prefab77's commitment to melding the raw energy of street art with the finesse of traditional portraiture. The piece showcases a complex interplay of six-color screen prints, each layer meticulously applied to construct a composite rich in texture and depth. Prefab77's intention to reflect the iconography and power of the female form is realized through the central figure. This portrayal channels the essence of femininity as observed in historical art, music, and fashion. The artwork serves as a contemporary canvas where the past and present converge, with the female subject embodying not just her narrative but also the zeitgeist of our era. Through "Happiness Is Expensive - Grey & Pink," Prefab77 delves into the tradition of portraiture, reimagining it with a modern twist. The work is interwoven with subtle motifs and symbols that echo religious and societal affiliations, similar to the hidden messages found in classic art. Yet, the artist propels these elements into the present, infusing the piece with the techniques of street art such as acrylics, spray paint, stencils, and wheat paste. This particular artwork explores luxury within prints and original creations, blurring the lines between accessible street art and the exclusivity of fine art.
