  • Inhalation Hazard Skull Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Red 1 Inhalation Hazard Skull Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Red 1

    Saber Inhalation Hazard Skull Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber

    Inhalation Hazard Skull Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Original Permanent Marker Art Drawing on Mailing Glossy Skull Sticker by Graffiti Artist Modern Street Artwork. 2020 Signed Original Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 4x4 Marker Tagged on Inhalation Hazard Skull and Cross Bones Jolly Roger Warning Label Uline S-5563 Sticker. Slap Up In Perfect Condition. Subversive Aesthetics in Street Pop Art Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork are distinguished by their raw, pulsating energy and penchant for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. The "Inhalation Hazard Skull Slap-Up Label Sticker" vividly embodies this transformative power. American artist Saber, born Ryan Weston Shook, has redefined the boundaries of art by bringing his original permanent marker drawings to the glossy skull stickers typically found in shipping and packaging. Each 4x4 piece is not just a slap-up graffiti art tag; it is a signed original that stands as a testament to the creativity and rebellious spirit of the street art movement. The series, marked by the jolly Roger skull and crossbones of the Uline S-5563 sticker, represents a provocative fusion of danger and artistry. Saber's Visual Commentary on Risk and Art Historically associated with piracy and poison, the skull and crossbones symbol takes on new life under Saber's hand. His work on these inhalation hazard labels is a bold commentary on the risks inherent in the act of creation itself, especially within the often illicit world of graffiti. Combined with the bold, chaotic lines of Saber's tag, this imagery creates a striking juxtaposition – a dialogue between the formal symbolism of danger and street art's personal, anarchic language. The pieces, created in the tumultuous year of 2020, resonate with the global atmosphere of anxiety and the need for an outlet, a voice amidst the chaos.  Street Pop Art as Cultural Narrative In the context of modern street artwork, Saber's "Inhalation Hazard Skull Slap-Up Label Sticker" is more than an artistic act; it is a cultural narrative. These stickers, once indicators of physical danger, now signal the presence of a different kind of hazard – the stifling of expression and the toxic environments that threaten creativity. Through his artwork, Saber challenges observers to reconsider the implications of the symbols that populate our world and recognize graffiti's power as a form of social and political discourse. Each sticker is a bold declaration of presence, a signature that marks the world with a message of resilience and resistance. In the face of adversity, Saber's art stands as a beacon of the enduring power of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, testifying to the indomitable urge to leave one's mark on the world.

  • Global Warming Inked Art Toy Sculpture by Kerby Rosanes Global Warming Inked Art Toy Sculpture by Kerby Rosanes

    Kerby Rosanes Global Warming Inked Art Toy Sculpture by Kerby Rosanes

    Global Warming- Inked Limited Edition Polystone Sculpture Artwork by graffiti street artist modern pop artist Kerby Rosanes. 2021 Limited Edition 8" Polystone Sculpture New in Box. Inked Edition. The Symbology of Global Warming "Global Warning" is not just a sculpture but a visual narrative that captures the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork. In this piece, a polar bear, an emblematic figure of climate change's dire consequences, perches atop a skull—a universal symbol of mortality and warning. The skull, often found in Rosanes' works, is not only a motif that resonates with the edgy and raw nature of street art but also a poignant reminder of the impermanence of life and the fragility of the natural world. The bear's poised and contemplative stance may be interpreted as a reflection on the current state of the environment, a theme that is urgent and relevant. The sculpture's name, "Global Warning," is a play on words, alluding to the global warming crisis while simultaneously issuing a warning about the potential fate of the planet. This clever wordplay indicates the thought-provoking nature inherent in Rosanes' creations. Kerby Rosanes' "Global Warning" is a sculpture that deftly conveys a critical message through street pop art and graffiti artwork. This 2021 limited edition polystone piece stands 8 inches tall and arrives in pristine condition, packaged within a box that ensures the artwork's protection and integrity. As a part of a unique series, this "Inked Edition" holds a special place in collectible art, especially among enthusiasts of Rosanes' work and collectors who appreciate the fusion of contemporary street art aesthetics with pressing global themes. The sculpture itself is a testament to Rosanes' mastery of ink-based artistry. Every inch of "Global Warning" is adorned with detailed lines drawn in ink, showcasing a level of intricacy that renders the addition of color superfluous. In this monochromatic world, the stark contrast of black and white does more than capture the observer's eye—it tells a story, ssues a statement, and provokes thought about our ecosystem's delicate balance. Monochrome as a Medium In the vast spectrum of street pop art, color plays a vital role in conveying emotion and building atmosphere. However, Rosanes takes an alternative route with the "Inked Edition" of "Global Warning." By employing only shades of black and white, he challenges the viewer to focus on the form, texture, and symbolism without the distraction of color. This choice is deliberate and impactful, as it mirrors the stark reality of environmental issues—often seen in black-and-white terms: action or inaction, survival or extinction. Rosanes' monochromatic approach also pays homage to the roots of graffiti artwork, which often started with only a can of spray paint and a wall as a canvas. In this sense, the "Inked Edition" bridges the traditional graffiti art style and the contemporary discourse on climate change. Artistry Meets Advocacy The intersection of art and advocacy is where Rosanes' "Global Warning" stakes its claim in the art world. It is a powerful representation of street pop art's ability to address societal issues head-on. The "Inked Edition" serves as a decorative piece and a call to awareness and action. Here, Rosanes' work transcends the boundaries of conventional artwork, becoming a beacon for environmental activism within the artistic community. As an object of art, "Global Warning" carries the weight of its message, harnessing the raw energy and spirit of street pop art and graffiti to highlight a pressing global challenge. Rosanes' choice to use polystone—a material known for its durability and fine detail—further amplifies the permanence of the message, suggesting that the issues of environmental degradation will not simply fade away. In the dynamic and ever-evolving world of street pop art and graffiti artwork, Kerby Rosanes' "Global Warning" stands out as a poignant, compelling work that captures the zeitgeist of our times. It serves as a stark reminder of the environmental issues that confront us and the power of art to elevate critical conversations within the public sphere. Through this limited-edition sculpture, Rosanes continues to inspire, provoke, and challenge, solidifying his place as a modern pop artist of significant influence.

  • In This Together Woodblock Print by Ravi Amar Zupa In This Together Woodblock Print by Ravi Amar Zupa

    Ravi Amar Zupa In This Together Woodblock Print by Ravi Amar Zupa

    In This Together Woodblock Print by Ravi Amar Zupa Hand-Pulled on Reclaimed Wood Panel Limited Edition Artwork. 2020 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 40 Artwork Size 4x5.75 Woodblock Print on Ready To Hang Slightly Distressed Wood Panel Depicting a Jolly Roger Skull and Cross Bones with Crown. Artwork Says: Social Distancing With Love 2020 In This Together. "In This Together" is a profound woodblock print by Ravi Amar Zupa, an artist known for his intricate hand-pulled prints on reclaimed wood panels. This limited edition artwork, part of a collection of only 40, reflects a moment defined by the global pandemic and encapsulates the ethos of solidarity and resilience. Measuring 4x5.75 inches, the piece is a compact yet powerful statement, ready to hang and slightly distressed, which adds to its raw appeal. The print features the iconic Jolly Roger skull and crossbones, crowned, a symbol historically associated with piracy but recontextualized here to signify unity in adversity. Symbolism and Technique in Zupa's Work Ravi Amar Zupa's choice of imagery and text in "In This Together" is evocative and timely. Paired with a crown, the skull and crossbones traditionally symbolize death and power. However, in the context of this artwork, they take on a new meaning, representing the collective struggle and the need to 'reign' over the crisis with compassion, as suggested by the phrase "Social Distancing With Love." The woodblock print technique, a traditional form of printmaking, lends a sense of timelessness and connects the work to a long history of artistic expression. At the same time, the reclaimed wood panel serves as a reminder of sustainability and resourcefulness. Cultural Resonance of the Artwork The cultural resonance of "In This Together" within the street pop art and graffiti artwork scene is significant. It captures a shared sentiment that transcended borders during the pandemic—solidarity. Zupa's work often explores themes of social and political significance, and this piece is no exception. It speaks to the heart of street art's social role: to comment, unite, and inspire. This artwork is not just a reflection of the times but also a rallying cry, a statement of support and empathy that resonated deeply during a time of global uncertainty. Collectability and Impact on Contemporary Art The collectability of "In This Together" lies in its limited edition status, signed and numbered by Zupa, which adds an element of exclusivity. The work's size makes it accessible, while its message and craftsmanship make it a significant addition to any collection of contemporary street pop art and graffiti artwork. The piece's impact is further enhanced by its medium—woodblock printing on wood panel—which bridges traditional art-making techniques with modern themes, thus appealing to a wide range of art enthusiasts and collectors. "In This Together" by Ravi Amar Zupa is a compelling piece of contemporary art that resonates with the communal spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Through traditional woodblock printing on reclaimed wood, Zupa creates an artwork that is both a testament to the times and a timeless piece of artistry. It stands as a symbol of unity and love in a year marked by separation and uncertainty, offering a message of hope and togetherness that is as universal as it is powerful.

Skeletons & Skulls Graffiti Street Pop Art

Symbolism of Skeletons and Skulls in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Skeletons and skulls have been a prominent motif in art for centuries, embodying themes of mortality, impermanence, and the human condition. In Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, these symbols have been recontextualized, taking on new meanings and forms. Street artists utilize skeletons and skulls to communicate messages from the political to the personal, often infusing these macabre icons with vibrant colors and bold patterns that challenge their traditional associations with death and darkness. In the urban tapestry of cities worldwide, skeletons and skulls are not just symbols of fear and decay but are reimagined as expressions of life's vitality and the celebration of existence despite its fleeting nature. Graffiti artworks featuring these elements become public meditations on life's cyclical nature, reminding viewers of their mortality in a confronting and enlightening manner. The stark depiction of a skull in a mural or a sticker can be a social commentary on issues such as war, inequality, or the brevity of human life amidst the chaos of the modern world.

Artistic Exploration of Existential Themes Through Bones and Craniums

The artistic exploration of existential themes through the imagery of bones and skulls in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork has led to diverse interpretations. Some artists may portray skulls with a sense of humor or irony, subverting their traditionally ominous weight. Others may revere them, creating shrines out of alleyways and building facades. This duality reflects the multifaceted nature of skeletons and skulls as symbols — they are at once a universal sign of humanity's shared destiny and a canvas for exploring individual and collective narratives. The ubiquitous nature of these symbols in street art speaks to their enduring power to fascinate and provoke. Every skull or skeleton rendered on a wall represents a common thread in the tapestry of human experience, connecting us across cultures and time. The depiction of these symbols in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork serves as a reminder of the democratizing power of art and its ability to distill complex ideas into potent, universal images.
In conclusion, the representation of skeletons and skulls in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork is a testament to the enduring fascination with what lies beneath the surface of living beings. These depictions are a bold confrontation with the ultimate truths of existence, rendered in styles that range from the realistic to the abstract. Through these powerful symbols, street artists continue to engage with profound themes, inviting onlookers to reflect on the mysteries of life and death amidst the everyday landscapes of the urban environment.
