His depiction of the Calavera, a symbol commonly associated with the Day of the Dead, integrates seamlessly with the ethos of the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC). As Montejano himself puts it, "LAFC is LA culture." The artwork is not just an emblem of a soccer club; it is a tribute to the departed, a nod to the cultural significance of remembering loved ones. Artworks such as the LAFC Calavera draw their lineage from the vibrant traditions of pop art, street art, and graffiti. These genres challenge convention, often merging disparate symbols and contexts to create meaning. Montejano's Calavera stands as a testament to the power of such fusion, intertwining the energy of LA's soccer scene with profound cultural symbols. The 18x24 signed and marked limited edition piece is more than just a visual treat; it's a narrative of identity, passion, and remembrance, immortalized in ink and paper.

  • What Goes Up Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Meggs What Goes Up Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Meggs

    Meggs What Goes Up Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Meggs

    What Goes Up Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Meggs One of a Kind Artwork on Canvas with Custom Reclaimed Wood Frame by Street Art Pop Artist. 2014 Signed Acrylic & Spray Paint Painting Original Canvas in Artist Hand Made Reclaimed Wood Frame Artwork Size 49x49. From Spoiled Rotten Show. Exploring the Dynamic Essence of Meggs' "What Goes Up" "What Goes Up" is an original acrylic and spray paint painting by the acclaimed street pop artist Meggs that encapsulates the dynamism and energy of his work. Created in 2014, this artwork reflects Meggs' signature style, which harmoniously blends street art's rawness with pop art's vividness. This one-of-a-kind artwork is a statement piece and a storytelling canvas that explores themes prevalent in Meggs' oeuvre, such as the constant struggle between opposing forces and the transient nature of success and failure. The painting measures 46x46 inches and is housed in a custom reclaimed wood frame handcrafted by the artist. Reclaimed wood adds an eco-conscious dimension to the artwork, reinforcing Meggs' interest in sustainability and the repurposing of materials. This choice of framing also accentuates the urban and gritty feel of the painting, resonating with the street art tradition of using found objects and spaces. Artistic Techniques and Visual Impact in "What Goes Up" Meggs employs acrylic and spray paint in "What Goes Up," showcasing his adeptness at using traditional and non-traditional media. The acrylic provides depth and texture, while the spray paint offers a sense of immediacy and spontaneity intrinsic to graffiti artwork. The painting is a cacophony of colors, bursting forth from a central point, suggesting an explosion of energy and creativity. The colors are not just randomly splashed across the canvas; they are meticulously layered to create a visual impact that is both chaotic and controlled. The artwork features a skull motif, a recurring element in Meggs' art, which often symbolizes the transient nature of human existence and the cyclical nature of life. However, in "What Goes Up," the skull is juxtaposed with vibrant colors and comic-style exclamations, which could be interpreted as a commentary on the superficiality of popular culture and the fleeting nature of fame and success. The skull seems to be disintegrating or exploding into an array of colors and shapes, a powerful visual metaphor for the inevitable downfall that follows a rise to the top. Cultural Commentary and the Essence of Street Pop Art The painting's title, "What Goes Up," hints at the adage "what goes up must come down," suggesting a narrative of ascent and descent. Meggs often infuses his Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork with philosophical musings and critical observations of society. The work symbolizes the cyclical patterns of life and can be seen as a reflection of the transient nature of success or the hubris that often precedes a fall. The artist's use of text in the painting, rendered in a comic book style, adds a layer of communication with the viewer, inviting them to ponder the deeper meanings behind the vibrant facade. The piece is a testament to the artist's ability to navigate the space between gallery and street art, making it accessible to a diverse audience. The inclusivity of street art is evident in Meggs' work, where the public space becomes a canvas for dialogue, and the art becomes a part of the everyday urban landscape. "What Goes Up" is not just a visual spectacle but also a piece of cultural commentary, encapsulating the ethos of street art and its role in contemporary discourse. "What Goes Up" is a prime example of Meggs' impact on the field of street art and his contribution to the broader pop art movement. The painting manifests the artist's dedication to craft, concept, and commentary. Through the integration of various artistic techniques and the strategic use of reclaimed materials, Meggs has created an artwork that is both a visual feast and a conceptual powerhouse. The significance of Meggs' work lies in its ability to resonate with viewers on multiple levels. This work can be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and ability to evoke emotion and provoke thought. As a piece of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, "What Goes Up" embodies the spirit of this genre, which continues to push the boundaries of art and its place in society. It remains a poignant piece within Meggs' body of work and within the larger conversation of contemporary art.

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.
