    Eddie Colla Trivaac Inhalation Vaccine HPM Spray Paint Can Sculpture by by Eddie Colla

    Trivaac Inhalation Vaccine HPM Hand Made Limited Edition Mixed Media, Reclaimed Items, Spray Can Sculpture Artwork by graffiti street artist modern pop artist Eddie Colla. 2020 Signed & Numbered HPM Made & Printed Limited Edition of 30 Spray Paint Can Sculpture Artwork. These Are Art Pieces, They Are Not Medical Devices. "I originally made these fake inhalation vaccines as props for two installations I did with D Young V, Epilogue, and Memento Mori. The installations revolved around apocalyptic possibilities. These recycled Spray paint cans were meant to be discarded inhalation vaccines that the World Health Organization had distributed during a global pandemic. The labels contain information about application dosage and active ingredients. I did a lot of research regarding previous pandemics, such as H1N1 (bird flu). The idea was to create an artifact as real as possible to resemble a failed attempt to contain a global pandemic." Eddie Colla Artistic Representation of Global Pandemics Eddie Colla's "Trivaac Inhalation Vaccine" mixed media artworks reflect a hauntingly prescient take on global health crises through the lens of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. This limited edition series, consisting of only 30 signed and numbered pieces, incorporates reclaimed items and spray paint cans to form sculptures that stand as poignant artifacts of apocalyptic possibilities. Created as part of two installations with fellow artist D Young V, "Epilogue" and "Memento Mori," Colla's sculptures were designed to represent discarded inhalation vaccines distributed by the World Health Organization during a fictional global pandemic. These installations explored themes of human vulnerability, societal collapse, and the interventions that come into play during such catastrophic events. The sculptures themselves, crafted to mimic the appearance and informational detail of real medical devices, resonate with the realism and urgency of a world grappling with the threat of pandemics. Colla's meticulous research into previous health crises, such as H1N1, informed the creation of this spray can sculpture. The labels on each canister are detailed with application dosage and active ingredients, contributing to the authentic feel of the pieces. This attention to detail not only enhances the visual impact of the sculptures but also embeds a narrative that ties them to the real-world context of public health emergencies. Cultural Commentary through Mixed Media The "Trivaac Inhalation Vaccine" sculptures starkly comment on the intersection of art, science, and societal response to global health challenges. By using reclaimed spray paint cans, Colla repurposes the mundane and aligns his work with the ethos of recycling and sustainability. These themes are increasingly relevant in contemporary discourse. These sculptures transform the spray can, a ubiquitous tool in street art, into a vessel of deeper meaning, reflecting on the throwaway culture and the implications of medical waste. This body of work also questions the efficacy and accessibility of healthcare interventions, highlighting the disparity between the intended purpose of medical devices and their actual implementation in crisis scenarios. Colla's sculptures suggest a history of use and urgency when these objects were vital to survival. The limited edition nature of these pieces emphasizes their uniqueness as artworks while alluding to the scarcity of resources that can occur in times of crisis. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork's Evocative Power Eddie Colla's contribution to Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork is characterized by his ability to evoke robust responses through objects that bridge art and reality. His sculptures are not passive objects; they are conversation starters that prompt viewers to think critically about the state of the world and our responses to impending dangers. In the tradition of street art, these works are accessible yet complex, visually striking yet laden with meaning. The "Trivaac Inhalation Vaccine" series underscores the evocative power of street pop art and graffiti to comment on and engage with current events. Through this series, Colla extends the narrative capabilities of street art beyond the walls and into the three-dimensional realm, offering a tangible connection to the issues that permeate our collective consciousness. In essence, Eddie Colla's "Trivaac Inhalation Vaccine" sculptures embody the innovative and reflective qualities of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. By blending art with societal critique elements, Colla captures the imagination and ignites discourse, cementing his role as an artist who observes and participates in the broader conversations of our time. His work is a reminder of art's impact on interpreting, understanding, and questioning the world around us.

Artwork Says: Social Distancing With Love 2020 In This Together. "In This Together" is a profound woodblock print by Ravi Amar Zupa, an artist known for his intricate hand-pulled prints on reclaimed wood panels. This limited edition artwork, part of a collection of only 40, reflects a moment defined by the global pandemic and encapsulates the ethos of solidarity and resilience. Measuring 4x5.75 inches, the piece is a compact yet powerful statement, ready to hang and slightly distressed, which adds to its raw appeal. The print features the iconic Jolly Roger skull and crossbones, crowned, a symbol historically associated with piracy but recontextualized here to signify unity in adversity. Symbolism and Technique in Zupa's Work Ravi Amar Zupa's choice of imagery and text in "In This Together" is evocative and timely. Paired with a crown, the skull and crossbones traditionally symbolize death and power. However, in the context of this artwork, they take on a new meaning, representing the collective struggle and the need to 'reign' over the crisis with compassion, as suggested by the phrase "Social Distancing With Love." The woodblock print technique, a traditional form of printmaking, lends a sense of timelessness and connects the work to a long history of artistic expression. At the same time, the reclaimed wood panel serves as a reminder of sustainability and resourcefulness. Cultural Resonance of the Artwork The cultural resonance of "In This Together" within the street pop art and graffiti artwork scene is significant. It captures a shared sentiment that transcended borders during the pandemic—solidarity. Zupa's work often explores themes of social and political significance, and this piece is no exception. It speaks to the heart of street art's social role: to comment, unite, and inspire. This artwork is not just a reflection of the times but also a rallying cry, a statement of support and empathy that resonated deeply during a time of global uncertainty. Collectability and Impact on Contemporary Art The collectability of "In This Together" lies in its limited edition status, signed and numbered by Zupa, which adds an element of exclusivity. The work's size makes it accessible, while its message and craftsmanship make it a significant addition to any collection of contemporary street pop art and graffiti artwork. The piece's impact is further enhanced by its medium—woodblock printing on wood panel—which bridges traditional art-making techniques with modern themes, thus appealing to a wide range of art enthusiasts and collectors. "In This Together" by Ravi Amar Zupa is a compelling piece of contemporary art that resonates with the communal spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Through traditional woodblock printing on reclaimed wood, Zupa creates an artwork that is both a testament to the times and a timeless piece of artistry. It stands as a symbol of unity and love in a year marked by separation and uncertainty, offering a message of hope and togetherness that is as universal as it is powerful.

The painting presents a raw and gritty texture, a signature of Saber's work, encapsulating the spontaneity and energy synonymous with street art. The bold black lines slashed across the canvas are reminiscent of tags seen on urban landscapes, symbols of identity and existence within the din of the city. Contrasted with the electric blue spray paint that seems to dance around the stark strokes, there is an almost musical rhythm to the composition. The choice of cardboard as the substrate adds an ephemeral element, highlighting the often temporary nature of graffiti art as it battles the elements and the changing cityscape. This particular piece by Saber does not just portray an aesthetic appeal but also embodies the essence of graffiti culture.

The painting stands as a testament to the genre's evolution and its acceptance into the broader art community. It reflects a journey from the walls of defiance to the walls of collectors and connoisseurs. "Abstract Tagged Untitled" is not only an original and one-of-a-kind piece of street art by Saber but also a compelling slice of the narrative that street and graffiti art continues to write in the history of modern artistic expression.

The Essence of Mixed Media in Street Pop Art Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra, known for their vibrant contributions to street art and pop culture visuals, have embraced mixed media's eclecticism to its fullest. The artwork is a culmination of various recycled papers, thread, trim, fabric, pink vinyl, acrylic paint, silk screen ink, gouache, and other mixed media, all coming together to create a textural symphony that is as much about the medium as it is about the message. The "Let Love In HPM Unique Collage Print" by the collaborative artistic duo MCXT, which comprises Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra, is a riveting piece of art that stands at the intersection of pop art, street art, and graffiti artwork. This unique artwork is part of a limited edition series, with only 30 pieces created, each bearing its distinct characteristics due to the handcrafted nature of the prints. Exclusivity and Technique Each print in the series has been treated with an 8-color screen printing process, laying the foundation for the following intricate collage work. After the initial printing, the artists have taken to collaging, sewing, and hand painting on each print, ensuring that every print is unique. This technique not only underscores the exclusivity of each piece but also reflects the street art ethos of creating something unique and personal, a direct contrast to the mass-produced images that often characterize the consumer culture critiqued by pop art. Dimensions and Physicality The tangible aspect of the artwork is notable, with its dimensions stretching to 9.5x25 inches. Using recycled and upcycled materials is not just an artistic choice but also a statement on sustainability and the reusability of often discarded materials. The incorporation of cloth and thread adds a dimension of domesticity and handiwork, which contrasts with graffiti art's traditionally masculine and urban connotations, thus offering a commentary on gender roles within the art world and beyond. Collaborative Synergy The collaboration between Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra melds minds and styles, which is evident in the work. Canilao's background in creating detailed, intricate worlds full of personal symbolism complements Thustra's bold, graphic approach, which often includes textual elements and a clear, strong message. The synthesis of these two approaches results in a piece that is layered not just in its physical makeup but also in its conceptual depth. Cultural and Artistic Significance "Let Love In HPM Unique Collage Print" is a testament to the power of street pop art and graffiti artwork to comment on and interact with the broader cultural discourse. With its handcrafted individuality, the artwork challenges the notion of art as a commodity and reasserts it as a means of personal expression and social commentary. It's a celebration of the DIY ethos and the cultural significance of street art as a form of public dialogue and resistance. This limited edition artwork by MCXT is a powerful piece that captures the essence of street pop art and graffiti through its use of mixed media, its handcrafted nature, and collaborative spirit. The artwork serves as both a visual feast and a sociocultural commentary, bridging the worlds of fine art, street aesthetics, and environmental consciousness.

    In Bloom I Original Painting Aerosol, Acrylic, Screenprint & Reclaimed Posters on Wood by ARTIST graffiti street Meggs modern pop art. 2012 Signed Original Mixed Media Spray Paint Acrylic Reclaimed Items Painting Framed Artwork Size 17.5x17.5 Framed Australian artist David “Meggs” Hooke for his solo exhibition Spoiled Rotten. The exhibition of over 40 new paintings and multiples explores the wondrous decay of social morality stemming from modern society’s obsession with pop culture and overindulgent materialism, and continues Meggs’ perpetual fascination with dualism and finding beauty in tragedy.“Detroit is a city of duality more so than many other cities I have been to. I sought to incorporate this by using objects and surfaces that imply decay, in what I consider to be a beautiful way. Old wooden materials and signs with layers of paint tell a story of their own. Although the colors and textures are aesthetically beautiful, I think it’s about giving these materials a new life, a second purpose.” - Meggs

  • Block Boys Blok Boy Teal Blue Red Flowers Epoxy Sculpture by Devin James Block Boys Blok Boy Teal Blue Red Flowers Epoxy Sculpture by Devin James

    Devin James Block Boys Blok Boy Teal Blue Red Flowers Epoxy Sculpture by Devin James

    Block Boys- Blok Boy- Teal Blue Red Flowers Original Epoxy Sculpture Artwork by graffiti street artist modern pop artist Devin James. 2021 Signed COA Lego Sculpture Artwork Size 6x11 Block Boys with Red Flower in Teal Blue, Original Blok Boy Lego Man. The Aesthetic Fusion in Blok Boy Devin James, a renowned figure in the world of street pop art and graffiti artwork, presents a striking addition to the art scene with "Boys- Blok Boy- Teal Blue Red Flowers," an original epoxy sculpture artwork that resonates deeply with the playful yet reflective essence of modern pop art. This piece, signed and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, stands out with its bold dimensions of 6x11 inches. The "Blok Boy" Lego Man sculpture encapsulates the whimsical nature of childhood toys while embedding the sophisticated depth of contemporary art. Crafted in 2021, this sculpture artfully merges the iconic simplicity of the Lego form with the complexity of human nature, signifying a juxtaposition that street pop art so often seeks to explore. The teal blue hue of the piece is not merely a choice of color but a narrative vehicle, conveying a sense of tranquility and depth akin to the ocean. Within this serene expanse, bursts of red—manifested as flowers—introduce a dynamic element of contrast, symbolizing passion, vibrancy, and life. Incorporating these red flowers disrupts the monochrome and injects a layer of emotional intensity into the sculpture, echoing the human experiences of conflict, beauty, and growth. The choice of epoxy as the medium for "Boys- Blok Boy" is deliberate, allowing for a luminous finish that gives the artwork an almost lifelike presence. The clarity of the material captures and plays with light, giving the sculpture an ever-changing appearance that depends on its environmental context. In this way, the artwork reflects street pop art's dynamic and evolving nature, which is inherently responsive to its surroundings. Symbolism in Street Pop Art The "Blok Boy" serves as a canvas upon which Devin James has masterfully illustrated themes of nostalgia and modernity. The Lego figure, a staple in the pantheon of childhood playthings, is repurposed here as an emblem of innocence and creativity. Yet, the transformation of this toy into a piece of high art indicates a loss of innocence and a bridge to the complexities of adulthood. This is the essence of street pop art—taking the familiar and everyday objects and elevating them to express deeper societal narratives. The interplay of the teal blue with the red flowers within "Blok Boy" also speaks to the graffiti artwork tradition of using vibrant visuals to make bold statements. Graffiti artists have long used the urban landscape as their canvas, often employing stark color contrasts to highlight their messages. Devin James brings this principle into the three-dimensional realm, using color to draw the viewer into a dialogue with the piece. Reflection of the Artist in the Artwork Beyond the aesthetic and symbolic qualities of the sculpture, "Boys- Blok Boy- Teal Blue Red Flowers" is also a reflection of Devin James himself. Known for his distinctive style that marries street art with a polished modern pop art aesthetic, James creates works that are both accessible and profound. His signature lies in his ability to imbue his pieces with layers of meaning, often prompting the viewer to reflect on the intersection of youth and the adult world, playfulness and seriousness, simplicity, and complexity. In this sculpture, James' own experiences and perspectives are distilled into the form of the "Blok Boy." The artwork becomes a conversation piece, prompting discussions about the role of art in public spaces, the commodification of childhood memories, and the potential of street art to infiltrate and enhance the world of fine art. James continues to challenge and redefine the boundaries of street pop art and graffiti artwork through this piece. "Boys- Blok Boy- Teal Blue Red Flowers" is a testament to the evolving narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Through his skillful manipulation of form, color, and medium, Devin James presents a sculpture that is both a playful nod to childhood and a profound commentary on the human condition. The artwork is a vibrant fusion of toy and totem, a physical manifestation of the ethos of street pop art—rooted in the urban yet reaching towards the universal.

Reclaimed Recycled & Upcycled Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Reclaimed and Upcycled Materials: A Resourceful Revolution in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Recycled Materials in Urban Artistic Expression

Reclaimed and upcycled art mediums have surged in popularity within the street pop art and graffiti art communities, becoming a cornerstone for artists as concerned with sustainability as they are with creativity. These materials, often rescued from the refuse of consumer culture, are transformed and given a second life as part of a new artistic creation. The reuse of materials not only serves a practical purpose but carries a powerful message about consumption, waste, and the potential for regeneration. 

Upcycling in Artistic Techniques and Media

The techniques and media involved in upcycled art are as diverse as the materials. Artists may employ anything from discarded cans and bottles to old signage and defunct technology as their canvases. Repurposing these items often involves deconstructing their original form, followed by a creative reconstruction into something that stands apart from its prior utilitarian purpose. The process is both a physical and a conceptual transformation, which imbues the artwork with layers of meaning and history.

The Aesthetics of Upcycled Art

Aesthetically, upcycled art can range from rough and industrial to sleek and sophisticated, depending on the artist's intentions and the materials used. The inherent textures, colors, and forms of reclaimed items provide a rich tapestry for artists to work with. This resourcefulness in material choice often leads to unique and unexpected visual outcomes, challenging traditional notions of what mediums are appropriate for art-making.

Cultural Impact of Reclaimed Art Media

Culturally, using reclaimed art media in street pop art and graffiti has had a profound impact. It is a form of expression that aligns with the ethos of the street art movement, which often seeks to make powerful statements in accessible ways. By utilizing readily available and often overlooked materials, artists make a statement about resourcefulness and the potential for beauty in the mundane. It also serves as a commentary on environmental issues, urging viewers to consider their daily consumption habits and the lifecycle of the objects they use.

Innovation and Evolution of Upcycled Art Forms

The innovation and evolution of upcycled art forms continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in street pop art and graffiti. Artists are continually finding new methods to incorporate reclaimed materials into their work, exploring the limits of these mediums and the messages they can convey. The practice also reflects a shift towards more conscious art-making, where the impact on the environment is considered alongside the aesthetic value of the piece. Reclaimed and upcycled mediums have carved out a vital space in street pop art and graffiti, reflecting a growing trend toward sustainability and consciousness in art. These materials, once discarded, are seen through a new lens, their potential for rebirth and transformation celebrated and utilized. In the hands of visionary artists, what was once considered waste is re-envisioned as an essential part of the creative process, challenging both artists and viewers to reconsider the value of what is thrown away. This practice not only diversifies the media used in urban art but also contributes to a broader conversation about sustainability, creativity, and the role of art in society.
