Flower Vase HPM Risograph Print by MCXT- Monica Canilao x Xara Thustra Riso Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Stamped Mark on Back  HPM Embellished Limited Edition Artwork Size 7x8.5 Mild Crease Across Middle, Does Not Affect Overall Presentation Flower Vase HPM Risograph Print by MCXT: Collaborative Layers of Identity in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The Flower Vase HPM Risograph Print by MCXT—an artist collective composed of Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra—presents a layered, thought-provoking fusion of symbolism, activism, and material experimentation. Created in 2023, this limited edition 7 x 8.5 inch print on fine art paper merges risograph printing with hand-painted embellishments, making each piece a unique variation within a shared conceptual framework. The initials HPM refer to Hand Painted Multiple, which emphasizes the individual attention and craftsmanship given to each edition. Stamped on the reverse to certify its authenticity, this print operates at the crossroads of fine art and protest culture, reinforcing MCXT’s ethos of resistance, identity, and transformation through collaborative creation. Symbolic Imagery and Hidden Messaging At first glance, the Flower Vase Risograph Print appears as a tranquil floral composition, centered around a bold orange vase filled with abstract botanicals. Upon closer inspection, the piece reveals a more intricate and layered composition involving hidden text, translucent motifs, and faint echoes of anatomical and architectural elements. Embedded in the center is the faintly visible image of a saxophone, subtly forming the stem of the central bloom—an emblem of both improvisation and expression. Faint text appears above the vase, partially obscured by leafy overlays and risograph gradients, asking the viewer to confront themes of censorship, freedom of identity, and emotional honesty. The surrounding embellishments include stenciled circles, starburst patterns, and holographic stickers, all adding a dimensional, near-sacred quality to the work. Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra’s Collaborative Process As MCXT, Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra merge their distinct visual languages into a singular voice that speaks to marginalized identity, radical love, and cultural reclamation. Monica Canilao, based in Oakland, California, is known for her intricate mixed-media work using found materials and references to folk traditions. Xara Thustra, also a Bay Area icon, gained prominence through politically charged graffiti, public murals, and zines that challenge binary constructs and consumer-driven culture. Together, their work in the MCXT collective channels a mix of spiritual resonance and punk sensibility. This print, like much of their output, challenges the viewer to question what is decorative versus what is dissent. Riso Aesthetics as a Tool of Resistance in Pop Street Forms The use of risograph printing is not merely aesthetic but political. It speaks to underground publishing, DIY zine culture, and community-accessible production methods. The imperfect textures, overlapping tones, and color registration flaws are embraced as part of the visual identity of the work. These imperfections contrast the slickness of commercial art, aligning MCXT’s production with grassroots art activism. The additional hand-painted elements in the Flower Vase HPM Print turn each version into a one-of-a-kind expression, reaffirming the collective’s belief in autonomy and impermanence within art-making. As a piece of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, it is both a visual poem and a quiet rally cry—a message coded in color, form, and spirit.

Sing Songs HPM Risograph Print by MCXT- Monica Canilao x Xara Thustra 2-Color Riso Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Holographic Detail And Cut Out HPM Embellished Limited Edition of 30 Artwork Size 14x8.5 Artistic Innovation and Technique The "Sing Songs HPM Risograph Print" by the creative partnership MCXT, consisting of Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra, is a standout piece within the street pop art and graffiti artwork genre. This two-color risograph print on fine art paper marries the rawness of street art with the precision of pop art, resulting in a limited edition artwork that is both exclusive and expressive. The risograph printing technique utilized in this series is notable for its environmentally friendly approach and capacity to produce vibrant, saturated colors reminiscent of screen printing but with a distinctive texture and depth. The "Sing Songs" print series, limited to 30 signed and numbered editions, features holographic details and cutouts, adding a tactile and visual dimension rarely seen in prints. These embellishments not only enhance the artwork's allure but also echo the hands-on approach of street art, where the texture and materiality of the work are integral to its impact. Cultural Resonance and Aesthetic At 14x8.5 inches, each piece in this series commands attention with its size and the intricacy of its components. The choice of a risograph print underlines the artwork's connection to grassroots movements and underground culture, as risograph printers have long been the tool of choice for zines and independent publications due to their cost-effectiveness and DIY charm. The "Sing Songs" print, with its interplay of only two colors, demonstrates how minimalist approaches can yield complex visual experiences, a common thread in street art and pop art philosophies. The Duality of Street Pop Art in Modern Times The collaboration of Canilao and Thustra for the "Sing Songs" print series is a dance of contrasts and harmonies. Canilao's penchant for folk-art-inspired motifs and intricate detail corresponds with Thustra's inclination towards bold, graphic statements. This duality reflects the broader street pop art movement, which often balances nuanced personal expression and comprehensive, accessible commentary. Symbolism and Narrative in Visual Art "Sing Songs" carries a narrative open to interpretation, much like the street art that can be found in the public domain, inviting passersby to engage with its imagery and symbolism. The inclusion of cutout elements may suggest breaking away from traditional boundaries or a peek into a different dimension, a hallmark of street art's disruptive nature. Each visual element chosen by the artists engages the viewer in a dialogue, a story unfolding within the confines of the paper. The "Sing Songs HPM Risograph Print" is a testament to the creative vision of MCXT and the power of collaboration within the street pop art and graffiti artwork scene. The use of risograph printing, coupled with the limited edition nature of the work, ensures that each piece remains a unique artifact, a snapshot of the artists' combined expressions at the time of its creation. This artwork celebrates the ingenuity and spirit of street art, manifesting as a collectible piece that holds within it the essence of an entire cultural movement.
