The sculpture measures an impressive 13-3/4 x 3 x 1-1/2 inches and is presented in a state described as a fantastic condition, signaling the care collectors have taken to preserve this work of art. The grey rendition of "Bendy" is particularly notable for its understated elegance and the way it captures light and shadow, accentuating the fluidity and dynamism of the form. This piece is stamped to the reverse, a signature of authenticity and a hallmark of the collaborative efforts between KAWS and Medicom Toy, Tokyo. Medicom Toys is revered for its dedication to quality and its role in elevating the status of designer toys as a severe form of contemporary art. The Collectibility and Cultural Impact of KAWS' Bendy "Bendy" occupies a unique position in the pantheon of KAWS' creations, representing an early foray into three-dimensional art that would define much of his later work. The collectibility of "Bendy" is derived from its limited-edition status and its place within the narrative of KAWS' evolution as an artist. Collectors and enthusiasts of Street Pop Art admire "Bendy" for its rarity and innovation in the art toy genre, a segment that KAWS has been instrumental in popularizing. KAWS' "Bendy" serves as a cultural artifact that bridges the gap between the insurgent beginnings of graffiti and the polished galleries of modern art. It is a manifestation of the artist's journey, encapsulating the raw energy of street art and the refined finish of contemporary sculpture. Much like the rest of KAWS' work, this piece is not simply a collectible object; it is a narrative in vinyl, a story of progression from the streets to the echelons of high art. Exploring the Artistic Language of KAWS Through Bendy The artistic language of KAWS employs a visual lexicon familiar to many, featuring motifs and figures that echo characters from pop culture. Yet, through works like "Bendy," KAWS subverts these standard forms, infusing them with a distinct sense of emotion and humanity. The grey color of this particular edition of "Bendy" echoes the urban landscape, a nod to the concrete canvases of street artists. It's a color that also conveys a sense of the industrial, mass-produced, and ubiquitous themes often explored in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. In the art toy "Bendy," there is a playful defiance, a bending of the rules that govern traditional sculpture. This piece showcases KAWS' inclination to push boundaries, to stretch and contort the familiar into something new and unexpected. This willingness to experiment, to blend the irreverent with the sophisticated, has endeared KAWS to both the street art community and the fine art world. "Bendy" is not just an object of desire for collectors; it is a pivotal chapter in the ongoing story of street pop art, a testament to the transformative power of KAWS's artistic vision.

Salvage Can 11 Original Painting on Spray Paint Can Mixed Media Sculpture Artwork by street artist graffiti legend Eddie Colla. 2018 Signed Original Spray Paint Acrylic Mixed Media on Spray Paint Can Artwork Size 3x8 "I made this series of cans in China in 2018. I had been waiting for supplies to start working on larger pieces. The residency where I was had kept all their empty spray cans. I started making these small pieces from the used spray cans. It wasn't anything I planned; I just had an unexpected amount of free time waiting for my materials to arrive, so I worked with what was available. Each can is signed and dated on the bottom of the can." -Eddie Colla Eddie Colla's Innovation in Street Art Eddie Colla's "Salvage Can 11" stands as a powerful statement within the realm of street pop art and graffiti artwork, an original painting on a spray paint can that marries mixed media techniques with the subversive energy of street art. The work is part of a series created in 2018 during a residency in China, a period that Colla describes as marked by an unexpected hiatus, waiting for art supplies, which led to the innovative use of discarded materials to create something unforeseen yet profound. Colla's "Salvage Can 11" is a testament to the spontaneous and adaptive spirit that often drives street art. Faced with a delay in his usual creative process, Colla turned to the empty spray cans available at his residency, transforming them from tools into canvases. This act of reclamation gave new life to the used cans and challenged the perception of value and utility in art materials. The resulting artwork—a signed original piece—is a mixed-media sculpture that encapsulates the essence of graffiti artwork: raw, immediate, and deeply personal. Visual Dynamics of "Salvage Can 11" The visual impact of "Salvage Can 11" is immediate and visceral. The imagery on the can is haunting, with the figure's features suggesting a blend of humanity and mask-like anonymity—a common theme in Colla's work, which often comments on identity and the individual's place within society. Using acrylic and spray paint adds texture and depth, with the stark black and purple hues commanding attention and drawing the viewer into a contemplative dialogue with the piece. Cultural Significance of Eddie Colla's Work Eddie Colla's contribution to street art extends beyond his murals and public installations. He bridges the gap between the street and the collector's space by bringing his art to a tangible, holdable medium like a spray paint can. "Salvage Can 11" embodies the transient nature of street art, while its existence as a preserved object challenges the ephemerality traditionally associated with the form. Colla's work is a reminder that street art is not confined to public spaces but is a dynamic art form that can inhabit and adapt to any context. The Resonance of the "Salvage Can" Series in Art Collecting The "Salvage Can" series holds a special place in the art collection. Each can, signed and dated by Colla, is not just an artwork but a historical piece that carries the story of its creation. Collectors of street pop art and graffiti artwork are often drawn to pieces with a narrative, and "Salvage Can 11" offers just that—a story of innovation, adaptation, and the creative process that unfolded in an artist's residency across the globe. "Salvage Can 11" is a mixed-media sculpture encapsulating Eddie Colla's innovative spirit and stature as a graffiti legend. The work is symbolic of the creativity that flourishes within the constraints of street art, highlighting Colla's ability to craft compelling narratives from unexpected circumstances. It is a prime example of how street pop art can transcend traditional boundaries and redefine what a canvas can be, inviting a broader audience to engage with the street art movement in new and meaningful ways.
