God Save Margaret Thatcher Giclee Print Record CD Box Set by Billy Childish x Jamie Reid Artwork Limited Edition Print With Safety-pin On Distressed Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 200 Artwork Size 27.6x20.5 2013 Thatcher's Children Boxed Record CD & Letter Box Set Plus L-13 Brown Bag The collaborative artwork "God Save Margaret Thatcher" by Billy Childish and Jamie Reid is a sharp and provocative commentary rendered through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artwork. The limited edition giclee print, part of a collection that includes a boxed record CD and letter box set, is a fusion of political narrative and artistic expression that captures the cultural zeitgeist of its time. Political Satire and Artistic Expression The giclee print is a bold statement within the pop art movement, a genre known for blurring the lines between high art and popular culture. Billy Childish and Jamie Reid, known for their aggressive aesthetics, use the iconography associated with Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister of the UK, to create a layered discourse on power, policy, and patriotism. The artwork, sized 27.6x20.5 inches, employs the distressed look typical of street art and the precision of fine art printing techniques, with the addition of a safety pin that punctuates the piece with an emblem of punk culture. The image of Thatcher, presented with a stylized rendition of the Union Jack and the phrase "God Save," evokes the nationalistic fervor and divisive politics of her era. The choice of giclee printing ensures that each piece in the limited edition of 200 retains the vibrancy and detail of the original work, making it not just a political statement but also a collector's item. Reid and Childish's Distinctive Styles Jamie Reid, famously associated with the punk rock band the Sex Pistols, brings his characteristic ransom-note typography to the collaboration, complementing Childish's raw and expressive style. The layered text over Thatcher's image creates a visual cacophony that mirrors the social and political turbulence associated with her tenure as Prime Minister. The aesthetics of the print are reminiscent of Reid's work on album covers, while Childish's influence is evident in the vibrant and unrefined quality of the imagery. This limited edition print, signed and numbered by the artists, is a testament to their shared ethos of challenging authority and convention through art. The use of distressed fine art paper adds a layer of authenticity, emulating the ephemeral nature of street art and graffiti while simultaneously offering the permanence of fine art. Boxed Record CD and Letter Box Set Accompanying the giclee print is the "Thatcher's Children" boxed record CD and letter box set, an extension of the narrative explored in the print. This set, a combination of visual art and music, encapsulates the multifaceted approach to storytelling that both Childish and Reid employ. Including music and the written word with the optical components enriches the dialogue initiated by the print, offering a more immersive experience of the artwork's thematic content. Cultural Packaging: The L-13 Brown Bag The entire collection is presented in an L-13 brown bag, a packaging choice that is both practical and symbolic. The unassuming brown bag, often associated with the bland transportation of goods, is a vessel for transporting powerful artistic and political statements. The L-13 stamp on the bag indicates the involvement of the L-13 Light Industrial Workshop, known for supporting avant-garde and counter-culture artists, further aligning the collection with the spirit of rebellion and dissent. Significance in Modern Art The "God Save Margaret Thatcher" giclee print and accompanying items hold a significant place in the narrative of modern art. They represent a confluence of street art's accessibility, pop art's use of popular imagery, and the personal touch of graffiti art. The collection is not only a reflection of the political climate of the 1980s but also a timeless exploration of the power dynamics and societal structures that continue to shape contemporary discourse. Billy Childish and Jamie Reid's collaborative effort in creating the "God Save Margaret Thatcher" collection is a masterful blend of street pop art and graffiti artwork that resonates with cultural and political relevance. The print's limited edition nature, the giclee medium's quality, and the boxed set's comprehensive nature all contribute to the collection's appeal as a significant piece of art history and a poignant commentary on the social and political landscape.

My first introduction to them was when I stalked them backstage at Coachella and offered to create art for them if they ever needed it… to my surprise, they knew my work already and decided to take me up on my offer. My first project with Interpol was in 2004, when I created art to follow up their debut album, “Antics.” Ten years later, in 2014, I was approached with another opportunity to create a print and paint a mural for their fifth studio album, “El Pintor.” I’m excited to announce that I’ll be releasing a new print that I created in honor of their upcoming show in New York at Madison Square Garden" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Shepard Fairey's "Interpol NYC Calling" is a silkscreen print that pays homage to the band Interpol, an act close to the artist's heart.

Limited to a series of 550 signed and numbered prints, each piece measures 18x24 inches, echoing the vibrancy of both Fairey's visual language and Interpol's sonic identity. Fairey's connection to Interpol began with a backstage meeting at Coachella, and this piece marks a continuity of collaboration that spans over a decade. His admiration for the band's work translated into the creation of art for their 2004 album "Antics" and their fifth studio album "El Pintor" in 2014. The print captures the energy and atmosphere of their anticipated show at Madison Square Garden, encapsulating the essence of the live music experience within the static medium of print. The print is an example of how street pop art and graffiti artwork intersect with other cultural phenomena, bridging the gap between visual art and music. Fairey's iconic style, characterized by bold lines, a striking color palette, and politically charged imagery, is evident in this print. The central image of the broadcasting tower, surrounded by hypnotic swirls, conveys a sense of communication and dissemination, themes that are recurrent in both Fairey's artwork and Interpol's music.

Let There Be Dark Red Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Niagara Hand-Pulled 3-Color on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 24x18 Silkscreen Print "I chose an image of Ron and Niagara where I think they both look amazing, but there was a nice balance between in-your-face aggression with Ron's pose making eye contact, holding his fist up, and Niagara's seemingly demure embrace of Ron, but anyone who knows Niagara understands that though she may look sedate, she's pulling the strings. I added a switchblade that she is caressing with her finger, as a way to amplify her femme fatale chic, and because I thought it lent itself to my original idea of a title 'Bonnie & Clyde Were Lightweights'" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Exploring the Bold Realms of "Let There Be Dark" by Shepard Fairey: A Street Pop Art Icon Shepard Fairey's "Let There Be Dark Red Silkscreen Print" is a striking embodiment of the symbiotic relationship between street pop art and contemporary visual culture. This limited edition piece, created in collaboration with Niagara, is a visual narrative encapsulating the energy and subversive undercurrents that course through this artistic movement. As a hand-pulled 3-color print on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum fine art paper, it stands as a testament to Fairey's mastery over the medium and his unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of street art into the delicate art sphere. Produced in 2019, the artwork is part of a highly exclusive series, with only 150 signed and numbered editions available. The dimensions of the artwork, 24x18 inches, are significant not only for their visual impact but also for their ability to draw the viewer into the confrontational yet poised dynamic that defines the composition. Fairey's choice of subjects, Ron and Niagara, is particularly telling; their depictions are rendered with a stark contrast of black, white, and a commanding red, highlighting their iconic stances and the charged atmosphere they embody. Fairey's narrative intention behind "Let There Be Dark" is as compelling as the visual force of the artwork. In his words, he captures the essence of Ron and Niagara's personas, juxtaposing Ron's aggressive frontality with Niagara's seemingly delicate yet cunning disposition. The addition of a switchblade subtly caressed by Niagara adds a layer of danger and a nod to the femme fatale archetype. This imagery is not merely decorative; it is a deliberate act to challenge and subvert the viewer's expectations, a hallmark of Fairey's style that has cemented his place in street pop art and graffiti artwork. The title, "Let There Be Dark," invites interpretation, playing on the biblical phrase "Let there be light," suggesting a reversal or an embrace of shadow and complexity over simplicity and illumination. This reversal is symbolic of the more significant cultural critique often found in Fairey's work, where the binaries of good and evil, light and dark, are not just questioned but also deconstructed. Beyond the visual and thematic layers, the print's collectibility is further enhanced by its fine art attributes. The use of Coventry Rag Vellum fine art paper, known for its durability and smooth texture, ensures that the colors' vibrancy and the lines' precision remain intact over time. The paper choice reflects Fairey's nuanced understanding of materials and their role in elevating street art to OK art status. Shepard Fairey's "Let There Be Dark Red Silkscreen Print" is an authentic representation of the spirit of street pop art. It bridges the gap between street art's raw expressiveness and silkscreen printing's calculated precision. With its limited edition status and the artist's signature, the print is not just a piece of art; it is a cultural artifact that captures the pulse of contemporary society and the ongoing dialogue between street art and the mainstream art world. It is a vivid example of how street pop art continues to shape and influence our visual language and cultural conversations.

Ian Curtis Heart and Soul Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 3-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "I first discovered Joy Division through my friend Jay Haley in 1985-86. Jay was a little more open-minded than I was, so he was listening to aggressive punk and hardcore, but also, more moody music like The Smiths, The Cure, early Cult, and Joy Division. I initially liked some of Joy Division’s melodies, but I generally found the music a bit cold, sparse, and haunting on the verge of depressing. However, the music grew on me over time and the qualities I just described as liabilities became assets. As I grew out of my punk rock orthodoxy phase I realized no band sounded quite like Joy Division. My love of Joy Division has only grown over the years along with my appreciation for their imagery. Joy Division’s image of elegant austerity is often connected to their artwork by Peter Saville, but a lot of credit should go to Kevin Cumminsfor his noir portraits of the band. I’ve loved Cummin’s photography for years, so I was delighted when he agreed to collaborate on a portrait of Ian Curtis, Joy Division’s singer who took his own life in 1980 at 23. Curtis was a unique singer but also a powerful lyricist, so the lyrics to the song Heart and Soul are woven through the art along with an angular divide through Curtis’s figure symbolizing the tension between heart and soul. Since Kevin actually knew Ian, I appreciated that he would allow me to interpret his iconic photo!" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Shepard Fairey's "Ian Curtis Heart and Soul" silkscreen print is a powerful tribute to the enigmatic Joy Division frontman and his profound impact on music and visual culture. Released in 2023, this limited edition print encapsulates Fairey's deep personal connection to Curtis and the band's enduring legacy. The artwork, sized at 18x24 inches and limited to a series of 500, is meticulously hand-pulled, showcasing three colors on cream speckletone fine art paper, underscoring the raw and textured essence of the subject matter. Fairey's engagement with Joy Division's work began in the mid-1980s, a time marked by a musical awakening as he transitioned from a strict punk perspective to a broader appreciation of the haunting, sad sounds that defined Joy Division's discography. Fairey candidly discusses how the initial perception of the music as 'cold and haunting' eventually morphed into an understanding of its depth and uniqueness, revealing a narrative of personal and artistic growth. Integral to this print is Fairey's collaboration with Kevin Cummins, a photographer renowned for his poignant portraits of Joy Division, which have significantly shaped the band's visual narrative. The decision to weave the lyrics of "Heart and Soul" into the fabric of the portrait is both a literal and figurative intertwining of Curtis's lyrical genius with his visual representation. This design choice also hints at the complexities of Curtis's personal struggles, echoed in the stark contrast that bisects his figure in the artwork—a poignant reminder of the internal discord between passion and reason, emotion and intellect. Fairey's print is not merely a visual piece but a narrative collage that pays homage to the artistic influence and legacy of Ian Curtis. By embedding the soul-stirring lyrics of "Heart and Soul" within the artwork, Fairey invites viewers to engage with the piece on multiple levels: aesthetically, emotionally, and intellectually. The print transcends mere representation, becoming a conduit for the artist's reverence for Curtis's talents as a singer and lyricist and the enduring impact of Joy Division on music and popular culture, ensuring that the heart and soul of Ian Curtis's artistry continue to resonate through time.
