Wishing On You I Found Love B-Side Silkscreen Print by Faile – Limited Edition Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Faile, the Brooklyn-based duo known for their layered approach to Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, presents Wishing On You I Found Love B-Side, a striking hand-pulled silkscreen print on fine art archival Lenox paper. This 19x25-inch limited edition work, signed and numbered by the artists, is a unique fusion of nostalgia, romance, and subversive pop imagery. With only 195 prints available, each piece features a random, one-of-a-kind background, making every edition distinct. The primary artwork, Wishing On You, reinterprets classic romance comics with Faile’s signature distressed textures and bold color contrasts. Two women gaze upon a crowned frog, a playful nod to the fairy tale transformation of a frog into a prince. The imagery captures the tension between longing and disillusionment, a recurring theme in Faile’s work. The vintage-inspired linework and halftone shading recall mid-century pulp illustrations, while the saturated color palette adds a contemporary edge. This interplay between old and new, familiar and reimagined, reinforces the power of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork to remix cultural narratives.
Faile’s Evolution in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Since emerging in the late 1990s, Faile has remained at the forefront of contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The duo, consisting of Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller, has developed a distinct visual language rooted in urban decay, pop culture nostalgia, and bold typographic elements. Their early wheat-pasting and stencil work on city streets quickly gained recognition, leading to larger murals, gallery exhibitions, and collectible prints that maintain the raw energy of their graffiti origins. Their compositions often incorporate fragmented storytelling, drawing inspiration from vintage advertisements, comic strips, and religious iconography. Through their innovative use of silkscreen printing, hand-painted textures, and mixed-media layering, Faile has transformed ephemeral street art into permanent works that retain their dynamic presence. The distressed, worn aesthetic of their work mirrors the ever-changing landscape of street culture, where posters and murals are continuously layered, torn, and reinterpreted.
I Found Love B-Side – A Celebration of Romance and Typography
The reverse side of this print, I Found Love, is a striking typographic composition that pays homage to vintage signage, love letters, and retro advertisements. Featuring a stylized script with ornate decorative elements, this side of the artwork transforms the message of love into a visual spectacle. The neon-inspired colorways and intricate lace-like borders evoke the sentimentality of vintage Valentine’s cards, while the distressed overlays add a raw, urban sensibility. Faile’s use of hand-pulled silkscreen techniques ensures that each print carries a unique vibrancy, with variations in texture and ink distribution making no two pieces exactly alike. The combination of bold lettering, intricate patterns, and nostalgic design elements elevates this print beyond a simple love note, turning it into a cultural artifact within the Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork movement.
The Lasting Impact of Faile’s Work in Contemporary Art
Faile continues to redefine the boundaries of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, seamlessly blending high-art techniques with the raw spontaneity of street culture. Their ability to transform familiar images into thought-provoking compositions keeps their work at the forefront of contemporary art. The Wishing On You I Found Love B-Side print is a perfect example of their mastery, capturing the tension between romance and realism, nostalgia and modernity. This limited edition silkscreen print serves as both a collectible piece and a statement on the fleeting nature of love, transformation, and visual storytelling. Whether displayed as a celebration of typography, a commentary on fairy tale expectations, or an appreciation of Faile’s intricate process, this artwork remains a bold testament to the power of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Through their continued innovation, Faile cements their place as pioneers in the intersection of graffiti, pop culture, and fine art.
