  • Freedom/Prosperity At Any Price- Red Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    Cleon Peterson Freedom/Prosperity At Any Price- Red Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson

    Freedom/Prosperity At Any Price- Red Limited Edition Hand Pulled 2-Color Screenprint Print on 290gsm Arches Rag Paper with Deckled Edges by Cleon Peterson Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Hand-pulled 18 x 24" screenprint. Printed on 290gsm Arches Rag paper with deckled edges. Each print is signed and numbered. Limited edition of 125. The visuality of Cleon Peterson's work is based on a variety of influences, from ancient Greek pottery to comics, resulting in monochromacy and strong color symbolism. In more detail, the figures exist on multiple straight lines, something that, subsequently, creates the illusion that the artwork is divided in levels. The perspective and the impression of depth do moderately exist in the art of Peterson and, just like in Greek vases, the background space is usually left empty or slightly embellished.

  • Eyes On The King Verdict Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Eyes On The King Verdict Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Eyes On The King Verdict 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey x Ted Soqui Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Ted Soqui, Numbered 18x24 inches. Screenprint on thick cream Speckletone paper. Numbered edition of 600. "I based this “Eyes on the King Verdict” print on photos taken by Ted Soqui during the LA riots of spring 1992. Ted has a long history of photographing activists and protests, which began after the “not guilty” verdicts on April 29, 1992, for the four officers who severely beat Rodney King. I especially love the central pic of a young woman protester in a Malcolm X hat contemplating the scene. I think it is important to consider the symbolic weight of the Rodney King verdict and the emotional impact on communities of color seeking justice and accountability. At the time, 30 years ago, I remember feeling enraged that such a blatant act of police brutality was going unpunished when it was captured on video. It is heartbreaking how frequently similar acts of violence and abuse of power by law enforcement have gone unpunished, even when caught on camera. I don’t ever condone violence or looting, but I understand why LA erupted in riots and protests after the King verdict. When people feel that the American system has failed them repeatedly, things can reach a boiling point. The urge to protest injustice and the right to do so are legitimate, even if looting is not legitimate. The LA riots were a tragic mixture. However, beware of those who try to conflate protest with “criminal agitation” or “inciting a riot.” When the system fails the people, it is nothing short of patriotic for the people to protest for a solution. Ted Soqui and I both signed the “Eyes on the King Verdict” print.” – Shepard

Protest

Graffiti Street Pop Art has long been a powerful medium of expression for many, and it is not uncommon for artists to use this form to voice their concerns, opinions, or support for various social and political issues. Protests in graffiti street pop art can take on various forms, such as murals, stencils, or large-scale installations, and they often address issues like injustice, inequality, or environmental concerns. Notable graffiti and street artists who have used their art for protest include: Banksy: One of the most famous street artists worldwide, Banksy's satirical and provocative works often address topics like war, capitalism, and authoritarianism. His murals have appeared in various locations, sparking discussions and debates on the issues he raises. Shepard Fairey: Known for his iconic "Hope" poster featuring Barack Obama, Fairey's work often focuses on political and social themes. His "Obey Giant" campaign, which features an imposing image of wrestler Andre the Giant, is a call to question authority and the way information is manipulated in society. Blu: This Italian street artist creates massive murals that tackle issues such as pollution, war, and political corruption. Blu's powerful and thought-provoking art has become an important part of the urban landscape in cities around the world. JR: A French artist known for his large-scale, black-and-white photographic installations, JR often works in conflict zones and impoverished communities to give a voice to the people living there. His "Inside Out" project encourages individuals worldwide to share their portrait and a statement about an issue they care about. Keith Haring: An influential figure in the New York City street art scene of the 1980s, Haring's vibrant, energetic murals often touched on social issues like AIDS awareness, drug addiction, and apartheid. Though he passed away in 1990, his work continues to inspire new generations of artists. These artists and many others have successfully used graffiti street pop art to protest and bring attention to various issues. Their work demonstrates the power of art as a means to engage with and challenge the status quo, fostering dialogue and change.
