American Daydream- Foil PP Printer Proof Limited Edition 9-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on 10pt Lava Foil Holographic Fine Art Paper by Artist Denial. PP Printers Prood 2021 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition 9-Color Screen Print on 10pt Lava Foil Holographic Fine Art Paper Size: 18 x 24 Inches Release March 09, 2021 Denial's "American Daydream-Foil" in the Landscape of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork "American Daydream-Foil" by the artist Denial, also known as Daniel Bombardier, is a thought-provoking piece encapsulating the spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork. As a Printer's Proof (PP) limited edition, this 9-color hand-pulled silkscreen print is a rare and collectible piece of art, released on March 09, 2021. The use of 10pt lava foil holographic fine art paper gives the artwork a mesmerizing quality, with its reflective surface creating a sense of depth and movement that enhances the visual impact of the piece. The artwork's size, 18 x 24 inches, is substantial and ideal for capturing the intricate details and vibrant colors that Denial employs. Each print in this limited edition is signed and marked PP by the artist, denoting its exclusivity and the artist's direct involvement in the creation and approval process. The holographic effects of the lava foil paper interact with the silkscreen ink, resulting in a dynamic piece that changes with the viewer's perspective and the surrounding light. Denial's work often comments on consumerism, politics, and the media, and "American Daydream-Foil" is no exception. The image of a woman's face, reminiscent of the classic pop art style made famous by artists like Roy Lichtenstein, is overlaid with a dazzling pattern that reveals and conceals her features. This interplay suggests the tension between reality and the manufactured dreams sold to society, a recurring theme in Denial's oeuvre and a poignant critique that resonates deeply in street pop art and graffiti. Reflective Surfaces and Societal Reflections in Denial's Art The reflective surface of "American Daydream-Foil" is a literal and figurative mirror, inviting viewers to reflect on their perceptions and the societal constructs that shape them. Denial’s use of foil is remarkably evocative, as it not only catches the eye but also suggests the allure and superficiality of the American Dream. The way the artwork's appearance changes with light and angle can be seen as a metaphor for the shifting nature of this dream and the elusive pursuit of happiness within modern American culture. The piece's limited release and its Printer's Proof status elevate its value in the art market, making it a sought-after item for collectors of street pop art, graffiti artwork, and modern pop art. The PP mark signifies that this particular edition was used to check the quality before the final run, often kept by the artist for personal reasons or sold to discerning collectors who appreciate the rarity and authenticity of such proofs. Denial's "American Daydream-Foil" is a powerful addition to the narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It bridges the gap between the rebellious origins of street art and the refined techniques of fine art printing, creating a piece that is both a statement and a spectacle. As with much of Denial's work, the piece is imbued with layers of meaning, challenging viewers to look beyond the surface and consider the more profound commentary on the culture surrounding them. In contemporary art, "American Daydream-Foil" stands as a vibrant example of how traditional pop art motifs and modern techniques can come together to create something that reflects and reacts to the society from which it springs.

With humor and nostalgia, you can open up communication. I’ve done that for years, used elements of humor and familiarity to open a dialogue because then you can slide in some real issues and different things you’re trying to convey in your work. You have a lot more open stream to the person’s consciousness and experience towards how they’re taking your art. If you can get them to laugh at it, remember something or relate to some image.

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

PP Printer Proof 2019 Signed & Numbered Blue Limited Edition of 150 3-Color Screen Print on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum Size: 18 x 24 Inches Release: July 02, 2021. "I chose an image of Ron and Niagara where I think they both look amazing, but there was a nice balance between in-your-face aggression with Ron's pose making eye contact, holding his fist up, and Niagara's seemingly demure embrace of Ron, but anyone who knows Niagara understands that though she may look sedate, she's pulling the strings. I added a switchblade that she is caressing with her finger, as a way to amplify her femme fatale chic, and because I thought it lent itself to my original idea of a title 'Bonnie & Clyde Were Lightweights.'" – Shepard Fairey-.OBEY Niagara and Shepard Fairey's 'Tomorrow's Another Night': A Striking Silkscreen Collaboration 'Tomorrow's Another Night,' a captivating blue PP Printer's Proof silkscreen print, stands as a testament to the collaborative genius of Niagara and Shepard Fairey.

Shepard Fairey's description of the piece reveals a deliberate balance between the overt aggression shown by Ron's direct eye contact and raised fist and Niagara's ostensibly gentle embrace. Yet, as Fairey notes, the true power lies with Niagara, whose understated demeanor masks a controlling presence, symbolized by the switchblade subtly caressed by her finger. This addition by Fairey amplifies the femme fatale motif and ties in with his original concept for the print, suggesting a narrative of concealed strength and influence. Exploring the Visual and Conceptual Depth of 'Tomorrow's Another Night' In creating 'Tomorrow's Another Night,' Fairey and Niagara delve into the dynamics of power, control, and the role of iconography in art.

Archival Quality and Its Role in Modern Art Preservation The use of archival pigment in fine art is another aspect that sets Wen's work apart. Archival pigments are known for their long-lasting quality, ensuring that the artwork does not fade or deteriorate over time. This longevity is essential for collectors and art enthusiasts who view the purchase of such pieces as an investment. The 290gsm fine art paper used in this print further contributes to its durability, striking an optimal balance between weight and texture. In summary, Helice Wen's "In The Nature of Daydreaming No 2" is a fascinating example of how contemporary artists are melding the worlds of street pop art, graffiti, and fine art. Through her choice of medium, hand embellishments, and attention to archival quality, Wen has created a piece that not only stands out in the modern art landscape but also challenges and expands the boundaries of traditional art forms.
