Ernesto Yerena Montejano's "Flowering Dignity Colibri" is a distinctive limited edition print that beautifully encapsulates the grace and vibrancy of the natural world, infused with the stirring energy of urban pop art. Released in 2022, this 5-color hand letterpress print on fine cotton paper measures 24x18 inches and is a notable collectible due to its short run of only 100 signed and numbered pieces. Yerena, under his creative banner Hecho Con Ganas, continues to weave his cultural narratives and political sentiments into his art, drawing on his Mexican-American roots to speak to both communal and personal identities. The exquisite quality of this piece is immediately evident, achieved by employing individual metal plates for each color, a traditional and meticulous process that ensures the vibrancy and depth of the print. Aardvark Letterpress in Los Angeles, California, known for its exceptional letterpress work, is the printmaker behind this piece, lending its longstanding craftsmanship to Yerena's contemporary vision. The use of 100% cotton paper not only provides a luxurious texture but also serves as a nod to the artist’s dedication to quality and sustainability. In "Flowering Dignity Colibri," the interplay of color and form is striking. The central motif, a mandala-like floral pattern, is flanked by two hummingbirds, symbolizing agility, vitality, and resilience. These elements are set against geometric shapes and patterns that add a sense of movement and depth to the composition. The warmth of the colors used in the floral pattern contrasts with the cool tones of the background, creating a visual pop that's characteristic of pop art’s attention-grabbing style. This piece sits at the intersection of pop art, street art, and graffiti art, carrying forward the rebellious spirit and the bold aesthetics of these movements. Yet, it remains distinct in its embodiment of the artisanal letterpress technique, demonstrating how traditional methods can converse with contemporary art forms. Yerena Montejano’s "Flowering Dignity Colibri" stands as a piece of resistance and celebrates cultural heritage, inviting viewers to find beauty and strength in its intricate layers and the message it conveys.

War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway Variable Stencil Edition Acrylic Artwork on Hand Deckled Fine Art Paper by Street Artists Shepard Fairey x Ernesto Yerena Montejano x Hecho Con Ganas x Obey. 2022 War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway 20x26.5 inches. Signed & Numbered Ultra Rare Edition of 14. Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on Paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey, Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner. "Created during the Iraq war, but the quest for peace requires perpetual vigilance, and the current invasion of Ukraine is a reminder of the brutality of war. The “War By Numbers” image is a statement about not becoming desensitized by war to the extent that it becomes as banal as a paint-by-numbers image. The “Peace Elephant” is an appeal to our sense of Karma and harmony with the world around us." - Shepard Fairey A profound intersection of artistry and activism emerges in "War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway," an emblematic piece presented by the collaborative brilliance of Shepard Fairey, Ernesto Yerena Montejano, Hecho Con Ganas, and Obey. Showcased on meticulously hand-deckled fine art paper, this 20x26.5 inch artwork not only exemplifies the prowess of its creators but also delves deeply into the social and political fabric of contemporary global scenarios. Dated 2022, this piece holds the distinction of being an ultra-rare Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on paper, with only 14 such editions in existence, each one thoughtfully signed and numbered. Notably, the presence of the Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner augments its authenticity and intrinsic value. While the artwork itself is a marvel of color interplay and design, its underlying message is both timeless and urgent. Shepard Fairey's own words elucidate the motivation behind its creation, highlighting its inception during the Iraq war. Yet, its resonance extends beyond that particular conflict. The piece emerges as an enduring reminder of the costs of warfare, particularly with the poignant backdrop of the recent Ukraine invasion. Fairey astutely draws attention to the dangers of becoming inured to the horrors of conflict, suggesting that society must never allow war's devastation to become as commonplace and mundane as a paint-by-numbers image. This sentiment is further emphasized by the inclusion of the "Peace Elephant," symbolizing the universal aspiration for harmony and an appeal to humanity's collective conscience. In the vast realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti, "War By Numbers" stands as a testament to art's ability to transcend aesthetic appeal, challenging viewers to confront and engage with the world's most pressing issues.

Mixtape Limited Edition Archival Pigment Fine Art Prints on Matte Velvet Rag Paper by Graffiti Street Art Pop Artist Dave Pollot. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 19.82x24 Edition of 100 -Signed and numbered in pencil beneath in image -including 2" white margins -Printed on matte velvet rag paper Exploring Dave Pollot's Mixtape Archival Print Dave Pollot is an American artist known for innovatively integrating street art elements into classical and pop art themes. His work often involves reimagining thrift store paintings by introducing modern elements into the otherwise classical compositions, creating a whimsical and thought-provoking juxtaposition. In his limited edition piece titled "Mixtape," Pollot combines the aesthetic of street pop art with the delicate sensibilities of traditional still life, creating a visually striking artwork that resonates with a broad audience. This artwork, signed and numbered by Pollot himself, is part of a limited edition of 100 pieces, each printed on matte velvet rag paper, emphasizing its exclusivity and appeal to collectors. Characteristics and Medium "Mixtape" features a lush arrangement of flowers, a classical subject in art, contrasted sharply by including a modern cassette labeled "Awesome Mix." This blend of the old and the new is characteristic of Pollot's style, where he seamlessly merges elements from different eras to comment on the transient nature of art and cultural artifacts. The artwork is rendered on matte velvet rag paper, a choice that enhances the colors and gives the piece a soft, tactile quality that complements its visual depth. Matte paper also avoids the glare that glossy prints might exhibit, allowing for a more intimate and engaging viewing experience. The Significance of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork in Modern Culture Street pop art and graffiti have evolved from their rebellious, underground origins to become recognized and celebrated contemporary art forms. Artists like Dave Pollot, who engage with these styles, often do so to make statements about society or to bring a new perspective to traditional art forms. In "Mixtape," the cassette tape – an object that symbolizes the recent past and evokes nostalgia – serves as a reminder of the rapid pace of technological and cultural change. Including this element in a traditional still life disrupts the expected visual narrative and invites the viewer to reflect on the evolution of music media and its impact on personal and collective memory. Like much of Pollot's work, this artwork appeals to a diverse audience. It reaches those who appreciate the technical skill required in traditional art forms and those who enjoy street art's edgy, contemporary feel. Additionally, the limited nature of the print run – only 100 pieces – along with the artist's signature, adds a layer of collectibility and value, making it a prized possession for both art lovers and investors. In the broader context, Pollot's "Mixtape" exemplifies how modern artists are blurring the lines between high art and popular culture. By bringing elements of street pop art into the gallery, these artists are challenging preconceived notions about what constitutes "fine art" and who art is for. This art democratization reflects a more significant cultural shift towards inclusivity and the recognition of diverse artistic expressions. Pollot's work celebrates this shift, showcasing how traditional and modern visual elements can coexist harmoniously and create new meanings. Dave Pollot's "Mixtape" is more than just a visually appealing piece; it is a thoughtful commentary on the intersection of past and present, popular culture's temporary nature, and art's evolving boundaries. Through this work, Pollot captures the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork and elevates it, offering a sophisticated yet accessible piece that resonates with a contemporary audience.

His piece, "Turtle Island Ganas Collage," is a vibrant celebration of cultural identity, resilience, and the spirit of resistance.

The term "Turtle Island" is a name for the North American continent used by several Native American tribes, and its inclusion in the title ties the piece to themes of heritage and land. Montejano's choice of materials—100% cotton rag paper with hand-deckled edges—complements the organic subject matter, grounding the piece in tradition and craftsmanship. The hand-sprayed stencils create a sharp contrast characteristic of graffiti art, while the intricate details and layering echo the complexities of pop art imagery. Ernesto Yerena Montejano's Contribution to Street Pop Art Montejano, a Mexican-American artist, contributes to the rich tapestry of street pop art through works like "Turtle Island Ganas Collage," which speak to identity, community, and activism issues. His work often reflects the experiences of the borderlands between the United States and Mexico, serving as a visual commentary on the socio-political landscape. By integrating motifs from indigenous and Chicano culture, Montejano bridges the past with the present, creating a dialogue between historical narratives and contemporary issues. His artwork transcends the traditional boundaries of street art, offering a narrative that is both universal and deeply personal.
