  • Cat Goddess Archival Print by Jeff Soto

    Jeff Soto Cat Goddess Archival Print by Jeff Soto

    Cat Goddess Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Jeff Soto Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "The "Cat Goddess" is part of a series of paintings looking at the life cycle of living things. I would say I'm "spiritual" but not very religious. We talked about it in my family, we talked about Jesus and God, but we did not practice a religion. I'm always questioning why we're here, and what it's all about, and the answers are never clear to me. I do like to think we have spirits or energy, and I wonder where that energy goes when we pass? I feel that, if humans possess this energy, then all living things must possess it as well. The Cat Goddess is some sort of passageway or portal to somewhere else. I envision the mouth opening and taking the soul to a beautiful and safe place. Maybe Heaven?" - Jeff Soto

  • Companion Flayed- Black Fine Art Toy by Kaws- Brian Donnelly

    Kaws- Brian Donnelly Companion Flayed- Black Fine Art Toy by Kaws- Brian Donnelly

    Companion Flayed- Black Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by Modern Pop Artist Kaws. 2016 Unopened Package Limited Open Edition 10.5 X 4.5 X 2.5 / 16.7 X 11.4 X 6.4 CM The Companion Flayed: An Icon of KAWS' Street Pop Art Legacy The Companion Flayed Black Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy embodies the pinnacle of KAWS' influence in modern pop and street pop art. Unveiled in 2016, this piece is a profound iteration of the most recognizable figure in KAWS' artistic arsenal, the Companion. The artist has reimagined the Companion multiple times, each version laying bare a new facet of its symbolic resonance. The flayed version, particularly in its stark black form, invites viewers to peer beneath the surface, literally and metaphorically, into the layers composing this contemporary icon. Measuring 10.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 inches, the Companion Flayed stands as a testament to KAWS' ability to manipulate form and content to produce artworks that speak to a generation conversant in the visual language of design, pop culture, and street aesthetics. This series, including full-bodied and flayed versions of the classic character, was released in conjunction with KAWS's exhibition "Where The End Starts" in Fort Worth, Texas. Standing 11 inches tall, the figures were made available through KAWSONE, MoMA, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, marking a significant moment in the intersection of street art and institutional recognition. Companion Flayed's Role in the Dialogue of Street Pop Art KAWS' Companion Flayed is more than a collectible; it's a conversation piece that delves into the dialogue of what Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork can be. It's a manifestation of KAWS' unique ability to traverse the spectrum of visual art, from anonymous street tags to globally recognized sculptures. The flayed version, with its exposed internal vibrancy, can be seen as a deconstruction of the character itself and the culture from which it originates. The black color of the figure contrasts with the colorful internal details, creating a visual dialogue between the seen and unseen, the external persona, and the internal complexity. The release of this series through prominent art institutions and KAWS' platform, KAWSONE, reflects the evolving landscape where street-inspired art is as much at home in the museum as on the urban wall. It underscores the fluidity of KAWS' art, capable of eliciting a sense of familiarity while challenging perceptions with its dissected form. This feature has become a recurrent theme in his work. KAWS' Impact on the Art Toy Movement and Beyond The Companion Flayed Black Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy is emblematic of KAWS' impact on the burgeoning art toy movement. This movement sees the toy as a canvas for artistic expression, a medium that allows the artist to explore form, concept, and accessibility in new ways. Through figures like the Companion Flayed, KAWS has been pivotal in pushing the boundaries of this movement, garnering attention not only from the realms of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork but also from the wider art community and popular culture. The release of this collectible in a limited open edition signifies the democratizing vision KAWS has for art. While each piece holds the allure of exclusivity, the forthcoming edition format ensures it remains within reach for a diverse audience, aligning with the ethos of street art's accessibility. With its distinctive cross-eyed face and x-ed-out eyes, the Companion Flayed has transcended its role as mere merchandise to become an essential touchstone in contemporary art, embodying the interplay between mass culture and high art that defines KAWS' oeuvre.

    In Your Arms Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by ThankYouX Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 16x20 "I created this print special for 1xRUN. The image shows a girl letting go and throwing her hands up while being taken over by color, feelings, and emotions. It was inspired by a remix I did for a DJ Producer named Michael Woods. The song's lyrics were inspiring and made me want to create something unique.I feel that music and art can be one. When I make music, it makes me want to create more paintings; when I paint, it makes me want to get back in the studio and make more music. I want to continue this Art/Music project for the rest of the year. "- ThankYouX ThankYouX's Artistic Symphony ThankYouX, renowned for his vivid and expressive pieces, has made a distinct mark on modern pop art with his limited edition archival pigment prints. His work "In Your Arms" is a captivating example, blending street art's energy with pop art's sensibility into a creation rich in emotion and color. Released in 2016 as a limited edition of 50, each piece is signed and numbered, making it a treasure for collectors and enthusiasts. "In Your Arms" measures 16x20 inches and is printed on 310gsm fine art paper, a testament to the artist's commitment to quality and longevity. ThankYouX's approach to this piece was inspired by a remix he produced for DJ Michael Woods. The synergy between the music's lyrics and ThankYouX's visual imagination gave birth to an image that captures the essence of letting go, represented by the figure of a girl surrendering to a whirlwind of color and sentiment. This work is an emblem of the artist's belief in the unity of music and visual art. ThankYouX emphasizes the cyclical inspiration he derives from both disciplines, where painting fuels his musical creativity, and music, in turn, urges him to pick up the brush again. The artist intends to sustain this Art/Music project, exploring the harmonious relationship between the auditory and visual realms. Emotional Resonance in Street Pop Art The emotional resonance of "In Your Arms" is palpable; the subject is caught in a moment of ecstatic release, with vibrant splashes of color that seem to emerge from the very soul of the figure. This piece embodies the core of street pop art & graffiti artwork, where the raw and refined converge, and emotion can be as vividly portrayed on paper as on the urban canvas's walls. ThankYouX's work, mainly "In Your Arms," reflects the dynamic street art scene, where storytelling is visceral and direct. The figure's posture, the explosion of hues, and the invisible yet tangible energy emanating from the print are characteristic of street art's expressive power. It is an art that speaks to the eyes and heart, encouraging viewers to feel first and analyze later. In the grand tapestry of street pop art & graffiti artwork, "In Your Arms" is a thread that weaves together the intimacy of personal experience with the universality of music and art. It invites introspection and evokes a sense of shared humanity, bridging the gap between artist and audience. ThankYouX's creation is a reminder of art's enduring capacity to encapsulate and communicate the profound moments of our existence. Collectors of ThankYouX's prints are invited to participate in this symphony of art and music to own a piece of a narrative that transcends the boundaries of traditional art forms. "In Your Arms" is not just a visual treat; it is a sensory journey that encapsulates the artist's vision of a world where art and music dance in unison, enriching the other and creating a legacy that will resonate for years.

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.
