    Mear One Freedom For Humanity Chrome Serigraph Print by Mear One

    Freedom For Humanity- Chrome Limited Edition Serigraph Print with Chrome Foil on Hand-Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper by Mear One Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 20 Artwork Size 20x27 "This piece, 'Freedom For Humanity,' symbolizes the attitude we should be taking regarding our rights as human beings. It's a play on George Orwell's 'Newspeak' from his novel 1984, where he combines and condenses words to create a new language. Language is so important for understanding what it means to be truly free. Yet, it is constantly being eroded, redefined, and replaced to suit the corporations and superficial consumer pop-culture trends for profit. People need translation out of our current language based on greed towards a more meaningful and insightful existence, using language based on our humanity, sharing, and cooperation. I want to inspire critical thought on the implementation of 'Newspeak' in our current Orwellian, media-blitzed reality." - Mear One. Dissecting' Freedom For Humanity' by Mear One Mear One has established himself as a consequential artist in street pop art and graffiti artwork, with "Freedom For Humanity" being one of his most compelling works. This Chrome Limited Edition Serigraph Print is more than a mere aesthetic indulgence; it is a testament to the artist's impassioned plea for linguistic and intellectual freedom. Limited to a series of just twenty signed and numbered pieces, the 2016 artwork, sized 20x27 inches, is printed on hand-deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper. This choice underscores the premium quality and the exclusiveness of the print. The Semantic Revolution Embodied in Art Mear One's creation is an interplay of visual and verbal languages, a critical response to the perversion of words in our contemporary society. This piece reflects not just Orwell's concept of 'Newspeak' but a broader commentary on the state of language and its role in human freedom. The artist's use of chromatic intensity and stark contrasts on the fine art paper is an eye-catching element of modern pop art and serves as a metaphor for the clarity and vibrancy that should accompany human communication. The central figure, a striking representation of defiance, holds a sign that boldly demands "Freedom for Humanity," symbolizing the fight against the manipulation of language by corporate and political forces. Mear One's message is clear: the erosion of language and the commodification of words for profit and power threaten the very fabric of our society. The artist seeks to inspire a reevaluation of how language is wielded and perceived in the modern age. His work implores us to transcend a lexicon rooted in greed and forge one grounded in our collective humanity. The message is a rallying cry for cooperation, sharing, and a reassessment of our values as a civilization. Embracing a New Lexicon for Human Empowerment The artwork bridges street art's raw expressiveness and the sophisticated discourse on human liberties. "Freedom For Humanity" is not merely Mear One's call to action; it is an invitation to introspect on the corporatization of our language and, by extension, our thoughts and freedoms. Through his serigraph, Mear One channels the power of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork to ignite conversation and drive change. The piece doesn't just hang on a wall; it stands on the front lines of cultural discourse, challenging the viewer to break free from the Orwellian shackles of modern-day 'Newspeak.' Ultimately, "Freedom For Humanity" is a symbolic manifesto in art form. It is a reminder of the potency of words and the significance of their liberation. Mear One has contributed a visually stunning piece to the realm of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork and embedded a profound message of liberation and unity within it. His work stands as a beacon for those who seek to understand the true meaning of freedom in a world where language is continually at risk of being co-opted by those in power.

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.
