    Shell PP Printers Proof Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Cey Adams Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. PP Printers Proof Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x18 Shell Archival Print by Cey Adams "The whole idea behind my Trusted Brands series was that I wanted to revisit many of the iconic logos of my youth to reconnect to familiar things. These pieces are mostly made of handmade fiber papers from India and Nepal. I wanted to do something rivaling my friends who used spray paint and connected with my graffiti roots, but I didn't want to do what everybody else did. I thought it would be interesting to challenge myself to use a medium I have never used before, and collage spoke to me." - Cey Adams. Cey Adams' "Shell" - A Convergence of Branding and Art Cey Adams, a foundational figure in graffiti and street pop art, presents a compelling piece in his "Shell PP Printers Proof Limited Edition." This work is part of Adams' "Trusted Brands" series, where he revisits the emblematic logos that marked his youth. The print, an 18x18 archival pigment on fine art paper, showcases his exploration into collage, setting him apart from his contemporaries who favored spray paint. This piece is a Printer's Proof, signed and marked by Adams, adding a layer of exclusivity and collectibility. Adams' choice to use handmade fiber papers from India and Nepal lends an organic texture that contrasts with the commercial sharpness of the Shell logo. His work is a nod to nostalgia and a dialogue between past and present, consumerism and craftsmanship. The "Shell" piece stands out as a testament to Adams' ability to innovate within his graffiti roots while pushing the boundaries of his artistic expression. In Adams' own words, his college journey was challenging to escape the graffiti norm. His "Trusted Brands" series, including the "Shell" print, reflects this personal and artistic quest to connect with familiar symbols uniquely, embodying the essence of modern pop art within the urban landscape.

At the core of work exists the concern for our survival and the earth's future. This preoccupation is highlighted through the display of animals lost and displaced from their natural settings. They are in peril and away from their natural ecosystem, relocated in dioramic fantastical situations.

  • Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob PP Archival Print by Shark Toof

    Shark Toof Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob PP Archival Print by Shark Toof

    Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob PP Archival Print by Shark Toof Limited Edition Print on 310gsm Museum Fine Art Paper Pop Artist Modern Artwork. PP Printers Proof 2019 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x18 Archival Pigment Fine Art. "Ceci N'est Pas Une Spongebob, This Is Not A Spongebob" Decoding "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob" by Shark Toof "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob" is a provocative piece by the renowned street pop artist Shark Toof, challenging the boundaries of pop culture iconography within the context of modern street art. The artwork is a Printer's Proof (PP) archival print from 2019, meticulously signed and marked by the artist, denoting its status as a rare collector's item. Printed on 310gsm Museum Fine Art Paper, this piece exemplifies the high-quality medium Shark Toof employs to ensure durability and depth of color, crucial for the archival pigment fine art that this work represents. A Fusion of Street Art and Pop Culture This piece is a testament to the collision of street pop art and graffiti artwork with mainstream pop culture symbols. Shark Toof takes the universally recognized figure of SpongeBob SquarePants and distorts it, presenting an image that both acknowledges and subverts the original character. The title itself, a nod to René Magritte's "The Treachery of Images," prompts viewers to question the nature of representation and reality in art. Shark Toof's work suggests that the image of SpongeBob we see is not the character itself but a representation skewed by the artist's perspective and the cultural context in which it is viewed. Shark Toof's Artistic Commentary In "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob," Shark Toof is not simply replicating a beloved character; he is initiating a dialogue about the saturation of media icons in society and the consumption of these images. The distortion and decomposition of SpongeBob's features invite the audience to reflect on how mass media shapes and sometimes distorts our perceptions. This work captures the spirit of street pop art by using graffiti artwork's spontaneous and rebellious essence to comment on and criticize phenomena. The layered textures and vibrant colors reveal the complex relationship between commercial imagery and artistic expression. The art piece explores the tension between street art's ephemeral nature and fine art prints' enduring quality. Shark Toof bridges two seemingly disparate worlds by choosing SpongeBob, an icon from an animated children's show, and placing it in the sophisticated realm of limited edition prints. This juxtaposition challenges the viewer's understanding of what constitutes 'legitimate' art, questioning the hierarchies within the art world. Through "Ceci N'est Pas Une SpongeBob," Shark Toof contributes to the discourse on the value and significance of street pop art and graffiti artwork in contemporary culture. By recontextualizing a figure from the lexicon of popular media, he endows it with new meaning and elevates it within the art canon. This artwork is a visual spectacle with an intellectual engagement, prompting conversations about the nature of art, media's influence, and street art's power to transform and transcend ordinary objects and characters into extraordinary pieces of cultural commentary.

PP Printer Proof Graffiti Street Pop Artwork & Prints

Essence of PP Printer Proof Fine Art in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

In street pop art and graffiti artwork, the notion of PP printer-proof artworks and prints holds a particular significance. These proofs are part of the traditional printmaking process, offering insight into the meticulous craft behind the creation of limited-edition prints. A Printer's Proof (PP) is a select print aside from the numbered series, typically reserved for the printer's use. Unlike the standard edition prints produced for sale, PP prints symbolize collaboration and quality control, reflecting the close relationship between the artist and the printer. These Printer Proofs are often identical to the main edition in quality and design but carry a distinct marking – 'PP' – that signifies their status. In the context of street pop art and graffiti artwork, PP prints take on an added layer of importance. Street art, with its roots in rebellion and public accessibility, often exists in fleeting states, vulnerable to the elements and the changing urban landscape.
