  • Priority Mail 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Red 1 Priority Mail 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Black 1

    Saber Priority Mail 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber

    Priority Mail 228-2016 Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Original Permanent Drawing Art on USPS Mailing Label by Graffiti Artist Modern Street Artwork. 2020 Signed by Tag Original Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 4.25x5.5 Color Marker on USPS United States Postal Service Priority Mail Label 228-2016.  Priority Mail 228 Labels: Slap-Up Canvas for the Streets Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork have become synonymous with urban landscapes' raw, vibrant, and often controversial energy. Amongst the most captivating forms of this art is the slap-up label sticker, a brief piece that combines the guerrilla tactics of street art with the aesthetic approach of pop art. These stickers, often found adorning city walls, lampposts, and mailboxes, carry the pulse of the streets and the artist's signature. The United States Postal Service's Priority Mail 228 label is a particularly iconic medium within this genre. Initially intended for postal use, artists have repurposed these labels as canvases for their work. With its distinctive red, white, and blue design, the label offers an instantly recognizable backdrop deeply rooted in American iconography. This juxtaposition of official symbolism with the rebellious nature of graffiti creates a powerful, provocative, and patriotic visual statement. Graffiti artists like Saber have transformed these labels into vehicles of personal expression and social commentary. Saber, an American artist named Ryan Weston Shook, is known for his work within the graffiti community and beyond. His involvement with the art form dates back to the 1990s, and he has since become a notable figure in the street art world.  Tag Art: Marking Presence and Identity Tagging, which involves writing one's alias or signature in a stylized form, is central to graffiti culture. It's a means of claiming territory, asserting identity, and engaging with the public in a dialogue often unmediated by gallery spaces' conventions. The Saber piece utilizes a blue permanent marker to create a tangle of lines and shapes that coalesce into his distinctive tag. Measuring 4.25x5.5 inches, this slap-up label sticker is a quintessential example of tag art, embodying the spontaneity and personal touch that are hallmarks of the genre. Created in 2020 and signed by the artist, this piece carries the weight of authenticity and the immediacy of street art. Despite its small scale, the tag commands attention, with the intensity of the blue marker standing bold against the label's pre-printed elements. The label's date, March 2016, provides a temporal context, anchoring the artwork in a specific moment of Saber's artistic journey. The cultural significance of slap-up label art lies in its accessibility and transience. These stickers can be produced en masse and placed in various locations, allowing for a wide distribution of the artist's work. However, their lifespan is unpredictable, as they can easily be removed or destroyed, mirroring the fleeting nature of fame and public attention in the digital age. Saber's use of the Priority Mail 228 label is a nod to a tradition in street art that values the repurposing of everyday items into something extraordinary. The label's transformation from a mundane postal accessory into a piece of art disrupts the ordinary and challenges the viewer to see the extraordinary in the everyday. This quality places slap-up label art firmly within the canon of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, genres that continually redefine themselves through unconventional materials and methods. The Priority Mail 228 Slap-Up Label Sticker by Saber is more than just a piece of art; it is a statement, a piece of cultural fabric, and a reflection of the artist's presence in the urban landscape. As with much of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, it encapsulates a moment in time, a burst of creative energy, and a dialogue with the public that is as vibrant and dynamic as the streets from which it was born.

  • Mighty Vibras Offset Lithograph Print on Wood by J Balvin x Matt Gondek

    Matt Gondek Mighty Vibras Offset Lithograph Print on Wood by J Balvin x Matt Gondek

    Mighty Vibras Offset Lithograph Print on Wood Panel by J Balvin x Matt Gondek with Tote Bag Limited Edition Graffiti Street Pop Artwork. 2018 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 14x23 Tattooed Up Astro Boy with Chanel Glasses. Bag Has Minor Spot Staining in Upper Area. Artwork Perfect to Near Perfect. J Balvin x Matt Gondek Cultural Synthesis in Street Pop Art The "Mighty Vibras" offset lithograph print on a wood panel is a dynamic fusion of music, street culture, and contemporary art. A collaborative piece by Colombian reggaeton superstar J Balvin and Los Angeles-based artist Matt Gondek, this artwork captures the essence of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. Released in 2018, the limited edition of 300 signed and numbered pieces reflects the global influence of urban art forms and the increasingly porous boundaries between art, music, and fashion. The "Mighty Vibras" piece vividly portrays a tattooed-up Astro Boy, complete with Chanel glasses, a symbol of luxury infused with urban grit. This character, an icon of Japanese manga, is reimagined through the lens of street culture and high fashion, signifying the interconnected nature of global pop culture. Gondek's deconstructive style, known for taking apart characters and piecing them back together, is evident in the artwork's fragmented features, which are visually arresting and thematically resonant. J Balvin's influence on the piece brings a cross-cultural element that is palpable in the artwork's bold colors and the inclusion of the word "Familia" tattooed across the character's chest, a nod to the themes of kinship and belonging that pervade Balvin's music. The size of the artwork, at 14x23 inches, makes it a statement piece that stands out in any setting, from a casual living room to a high-end gallery. Intersection of Art and Merchandise Accompanying the print is a tote bag featuring the same design, highlighting the growing trend of art becoming wearable and usable in daily life. This approach to art merchandise expands the artwork's reach beyond the traditional confines of the art world, allowing it to become a part of the consumer's everyday experience. The tote bag is a mobile canvas, spreading the visual impact of the "Mighty Vibras" artwork to a broader audience. The synthesis of J Balvin's musical heritage and Matt Gondek's artistry in "Mighty Vibras" exemplifies the potential of collaboration across different creative industries. It also illustrates the power of street art to transcend its origins, infiltrating mainstream culture and fashion and becoming an emblem of contemporary lifestyle. "Mighty Vibras" is more than just an artwork; it is a cultural artifact that encapsulates the spirit of the times. It stands as a testament to the creative synergy between J Balvin and Matt Gondek, blending street art's raw energy with pop culture's gloss and, in doing so, creating a new visual language that speaks to a diverse, global audience. The limited edition nature of the piece, along with its associated merchandise, cements its status as a collectible item that holds both artistic and cultural value.

  • I Love Only You Silkscreen Print by Gary Taxali

    Gary Taxali I Love Only You Silkscreen Print by Gary Taxali

    I Love Only You Silkscreen Print by Gary Taxali Hand-Pulled 6-Color on Cover White Arches Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2014 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 29x23 Silkscreen Print The Significance and Craft of Gary Taxali's "I Love Only You" Silkscreen Print Gary Taxali's "I Love Only You" silkscreen print is a vibrant example of contemporary Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. This limited edition piece, created in 2014, demonstrates Taxali's unique blend of vintage comic strips, advertising aesthetics, and playful imagery that firmly roots his work in the legacy of Pop Art while pushing its boundaries into the street and graffiti art scenes. Taxali, known for his distinctive style, often marries the retro with the modern, and this artwork is no exception. It is a hand-pulled 6-color print on Cover White Arches Fine Art Paper, a choice that speaks to the artist's dedication to craftsmanship and quality. Arches Paper is revered among artists for its texture and durability, serving as a testament to its longevity and collectibility. The limited-edition nature of "I Love Only You," with only 50 signed and numbered prints, increases its exclusivity and desirability among collectors. The artwork's approximately 29x23 inches size makes it a substantial piece suitable for prominent display. Silkscreen printing, a method famously used by Pop Art icon Andy Warhol, allows Taxali to achieve vivid colors and sharp images that are striking and emotionally resonant. Exploring the Pop Art Continuum in Street Art through Taxa li's Work Gary Taxali's work is often celebrated for its ability to capture the spirit of Pop Art and transpose it onto the more raw and expressive canvas of street art. "I Love Only You" exemplifies this cross-pollination. The subject matter—a whimsical character engaging directly with an inanimate object, infusing it with affection and personality—encapsulates the heart of Pop Art's interest in the mundane and the commercial. However, Taxali's bold lines and the print's presence as a piece of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork also evoke the unrefined, immediate quality of street art and graffiti. Taxali's characters are reminiscent of 1930s cartoons, yet they carry a contemporary edge that speaks to today's audience. The playful nature of the piece, combined with its direct and simple message, is characteristic of street art's ability to communicate with a broad audience. This overlap of high art and low art, of gallery walls and street corners, is a defining feature of Taxali's artistic practice and places "I Love Only You" within the ongoing dialogue of art as a public and personal experience. Cultural and Artistic Value of Taxali's Silkscreen Print "I Love Only You" not only represents a blend of artistic styles but also embodies a cultural statement that resonates with the ethos of Pop and Street Art. Both movements have often sought to blur the lines between 'high' and 'low' culture, and Taxali's print contributes to this discourse. It juxtaposes commercial art techniques with acceptable art practices, suggesting that art can be both accessible and sophisticated. Taxali's print holds an esteemed place in the art world for its aesthetic appeal and commentary on love, consumerism, and the interplay of text and image. The phrase "I Love Only You," juxtaposed with various objects, speaks to the commodification of emotions and relationships, a theme frequently explored in pop and street art. By presenting this commentary through silkscreen—a technique associated with mass production—Taxali underscores the tension between uniqueness and ubiquity, a conversation ever-present in public art discussions. The Enduring Appeal of Gary Taxali's "I Love Only You" Gary Taxali's "I Love Only You" is a testament to the artist's role as a bridge between past and present, fine art and street culture. Through his meticulous crafting of this print and careful selection of medium, Taxali has created a piece that is visually captivating and rich in meaning and context. As a piece of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, it continues to engage viewers, spark conversations, and hold a mirror to the culture it both represents and critiques. The rarity and handcrafted nature of the print further cement its status as a desirable collector's item, embodying the spirit of both Pop Art and the irreverent, democratic ethos of street and graffiti art. In "I Love Only You," Taxali has captured a moment in art history while contributing to its evolution.

Red Color Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Red: A Bold Statement in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Red in the Spectrum of Street Art Expression

Red, often seen as the most assertive and dynamic of all colors, casts its passionate hue across the expansive canvas of street pop art and graffiti artwork. With its bold nature, red is not just a color—it's a declaration, a visual exclamation that demands attention and conveys intensity. Its application in the urban art scene is diverse, from the deepest burgundies to the brightest scarlets, each shade imbued with its unique energy and symbolism.

Techniques and Textures: Red's Artistic Flexibility

Artistically, red's versatility is found in its ability to stand alone and its power to accentuate when paired with other colors. The techniques employed by street artists to apply red vary greatly, from aerosol sprays that offer a misty overlay to bold brush strokes that provide texture and depth. Red in street pop art is not merely a visual tool; it's a tactile experience. The texture of red paint can range from glossy finishes that reflect the city's lights to matte surfaces that absorb and soften the intensity of the hue, each technique chosen to convey a specific message or feeling.

Cultural Resonance of Red in Urban Imagery

Culturally, red has a potent resonance, often associated with powerful emotions and ideas such as love, anger, danger, and strength. Street pop art and graffiti leverage these associations to deliver impactful artwork that can resonate universally. The color red is frequently utilized to draw the viewer's focus to critical elements of a piece, highlighting areas the artist deems most significant or using the color's signal-like quality to convey cautionary messages and urgent statements.

Compositional Strategies with Red in Art

Regarding composition, red's role in street pop and graffiti artwork is multifaceted. It can starkly contrast cooler hues, creating a visual disruption that can energize or unsettle the viewer. Conversely, when red is set against warmer tones, it can evoke feelings of warmth and comfort. The strategic placement of red within a piece can alter the viewer's perception of space, with deeper reds receding in the visual field and brighter reds advancing, a technique artists use to create movement and depth.

Symbolic Use of Red in Street Pop Art and Graffiti

Symbolically, red is laden with meaning in the context of street pop art and graffiti. It's a color that signifies everything from political affiliations to personal identity. In the urban landscape, where art serves as a voice for the voiceless, red is often the color of choice for expressing defiance and resilience. Its application is deliberate, with artists selecting the shade of red that best communicates the spirit of their message.

Evolution of Red in Urban Artistic Practice

As we consider the evolution of color used in street art, red's significance only seems to amplify. Its historical use in political and protest art continues to influence contemporary artists, who see red as a means of connecting with a rich legacy of visual activism. With advances in paint technology and application methods, the vibrancy and longevity of red in street art have increased, allowing it to maintain its potency and message over time, even in the face of environmental challenges. Red's place in street pop art and graffiti is undeniable. It is a color that can elevate a piece from mere visual noise to a poignant statement. Its shades can signify many themes and messages, from the urgency of revolution to the pulse of love that beats through city streets. As an element of the urban visual lexicon, red is as essential as the very walls it adorns, a color that will continue to be used to captivate, communicate, and challenge viewers around the world.
