  • Contra Cocaine Glitter Silkscreen Print by Robert "Robbie" Conal

    Robert "Robbie" Conal Contra Cocaine Glitter Silkscreen Print by Robert "Robbie" Conal

    Contra Cocaine Silkscreen & Glitter Print by Robert "Robbie" Conal Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2010 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Robert "Robbie" Conal's Contra Cocaine: A Landmark in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The artwork "Contra Cocaine" by Robert "Robbie" Conal is a watershed moment in the history of street pop art and graffiti artwork. The 18x24 silkscreen print, with its haunting skull imagery set against a camouflaged backdrop, is not just a visual statement but a political cudgel wielded with artistic precision. This hand-pulled print on fine art paper, a limited edition of 100, represents Conal's unapologetic foray into street art, a domain he has since come to dominate. Educated at Stanford and a master painter, Robbie Conal is known for his unflinching, intensely detailed portraits, often depicting political figures in grotesque forms. His highly political and active work provides a scathing commentary on political corruption and misconduct. "Contra Cocaine" is perhaps his most notorious piece, a symbolic representation of the Iran/Contra scandal that plagued the Reagan administration. Its original iteration in 1988 has the distinction of being a part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), underscoring its cultural and historical significance. Contra Cocaine: The Intersection of Art and Political Activism Conal's "Contra Cocaine" transcends mere artistic endeavor; it encapsulates the artist's commitment to confronting and exposing the dark underbelly of political power structures. The piece is a grim commentary on the Iran/Contra affair, with the skull serving as a macabre symbol of the deadly consequences of political gamesmanship. Using street art's stark, compelling visual language, Conal's work becomes accessible and engaging, drawing the public into a conversation about the often invisible mechanisms of government wrongdoing. The distribution of "Contra Cocaine" through street posters in cities across the United States marked Conal's initial exploration into street art. This guerrilla postering, a form of grassroots activism, was designed to provoke public discourse and bring political commentary out of the galleries and into the streets. The image became synonymous with a generation's disillusionment and rage, channeling the spirit of protest into a singularly impactful piece of art. Legacy and Influence of Robbie Conal in Street Art Robbie Conal's influence on street pop art and graffiti artwork is profound. His commitment to marrying art with activism has inspired countless artists to view the urban landscape as a platform for social commentary and change. Plastering "Contra Cocaine" posters around the country was not just an artistic statement but a call to arms, engaging a volunteer "army" of supporters to disseminate the powerful image far and wide. Conal's method of engagement—activating a network of volunteers to distribute his posters—echoes the collective nature of street art, wherein the community plays a crucial role in the dissemination and reception of the work. The "army" that Conal mobilizes speaks to the collaborative spirit of the street art movement, blurring the lines between artist and audience, between individual creation and collective experience. Contra Cocaine: A Statement of Artistic and Historical Importance The historical context of "Contra Cocaine" amplifies its importance in the annals of street art. Published on the occasion of the exhibition "The Missing Link" at Country Club in 2010, the print also belongs to the Beautiful Losers Archive and Iconoclast Editions, collections that honor the works of artists who have shaped the landscape of contemporary art outside traditional systems. "Contra Cocaine" not only cements Robbie Conal's place in street art history but also stands as a testament to the power of visual art as a means of political resistance and societal reflection. As a piece of street pop art and graffiti artwork, it represents the genre's potential to influence public opinion and spark dialogues that transcend the visual medium, entering the realm of collective memory and historical documentation. The continued relevance of "Contra Cocaine" lies in its unabashed confrontation with political corruption and how art can expose and critique those in power. Through this work and his broader artistic oeuvre, Robbie Conal demonstrates the enduring role of the artist as a provocateur and a social commentator, wielding brushes and silkscreens as others might wield pens or protest signs. His legacy in street art is defined by his distinctive visual style and his unwavering commitment to activism through art.

  • Lady Shiva Original Marker Drawing by Lady Pink

    Lady Pink Lady Shiva Original Marker Drawing by Lady Pink

    Lady Shiva Original One of a Kind Mixed Media Paint & Markers Drawing Artwork on Hand Deckled Handmade Art Paper by Popular Street Graffiti Artist Lady Pink. 2019 Signed & Dated Original Drawing Illustration Paint Markers, on Handmade Deckled Paper. 6 x 18 inches in size. Lady Pink’s Lady Shiva: Mythology Meets Resistance in Street Pop Art Lady Pink’s Lady Shiva, created in 2019 with mixed media and marker on hand-deckled handmade art paper, fuses Aztec-influenced mythology with graffiti symbolism and social resistance. Measuring 6 x 18 inches, this one-of-a-kind work exemplifies her ongoing commitment to female empowerment and cultural reclamation within the language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The central figure is a vibrant, deity-like woman with six arms, adorned with skulls, peace symbols, and bold facial markings. She holds spray cans and chains, a direct reference to the tools and struggles of the graffiti movement. The composition blends traditional iconography with cartoonish energy, channeling both Mesoamerican art and contemporary visual rebellion. The central goddess figure references the Hindu deity Shiva, a powerful symbol of destruction and transformation, but here she is reimagined through the lens of street culture. Her expression is fierce, defiant, and jubilant. Surrounding her are serpents, birds, and ornamental symbols drawn in a palette of saturated pinks, purples, and greens—an aesthetic choice that reflects Lady Pink’s history of challenging male-dominated narratives in graffiti by owning her space with unapologetic color and form. Visual Allegory of Power, Culture, and Resistance The narrative unfolds with sharp contrasts and rich symbolism. On one end, a grotesque pig-faced police officer stands handcuffed to the goddess, gripping a spray can as if confiscated or misunderstood. On the other, mythic figures—complete with skull necklaces and serpents—align themselves with the goddess’s cause. The character design is playful, but the message is pointed. Lady Pink uses humor and caricature to expose cycles of surveillance, cultural erasure, and systemic control. The shackles and clenched fists transform the piece into an allegory of empowerment—where art, identity, and heritage become instruments of resistance. This is not a passive depiction of rebellion—it is active, kinetic, and celebratory. The goddess wields graffiti like a weapon of reimagination. Her eyes are lined with thick lashes, crying stylized teardrops that recall both sorrow and power. Her smile, full of sharp teeth, confronts the viewer directly. This emotional hybridity—fierceness paired with joy—is central to Lady Pink’s style. She constructs a visual mythology where cultural memory and contemporary rebellion meet at the intersection of gender, history, and paint. Graffiti Iconography Reframed Through Feminist Vision Lady Pink, born Sandra Fabara in Ecuador and raised in New York, has been a pioneering voice in graffiti since the 1980s. Her work consistently merges street energy with personal and political storytelling, especially from a feminist perspective. Lady Shiva stands as a testament to her role in shaping graffiti into a space of inclusion and cultural critique. Rather than adhering to hyper-masculine conventions of tagging and bombing, she incorporates ancient motifs, character illustration, and symbolism to narrate deeper social commentary. In Lady Shiva, the combination of handmade paper, thick marker strokes, and mythological subject matter aligns with the tactile and ephemeral nature of graffiti. The unpolished edges, visible brush textures, and bright marker fills evoke the immediacy of street walls and sketchbooks. This physicality speaks to the roots of the medium—accessible, unfiltered, and deeply personal. The piece refuses polish in favor of presence, giving the goddess a raw, living quality. Through Lady Shiva, Lady Pink doesn’t just create a goddess—she creates a narrative weapon. The work becomes a mural-sized declaration in miniature form, bridging spiritual power, ancestral art, and the lived resistance of women artists claiming space in public view. It is a visual spell cast in spray paint and marker, summoning transformation in the language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

  • Carga Fragile Mural Lithograph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Carga Fragile Mural Lithograph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Carga Fragile Mural 18-Color Lithograph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled Print on 270gsm BFK Rives Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Graffiti Street Pop Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 40x28 Fine Art Large Format Lithograph "Carga Frágil" Mural in São Paulo, Brazil. This 18-color lithograph, measuring 40 by 28 inches, is printed on BFK Rives 270g paper featuring deckled edges. Created at the historic Idem Studio in Paris using a Marinoni press, it is based on an original illustration inspired by a photograph captured by Jon Furlong. The piece is signed by the artist, Shepard Fairey, and is a numbered edition limited to 300 prints. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Greenpeace USA. Each print is accompanied by a digital certificate of authenticity provided by Versiart and features the Idem publishing chop in the lower left corner. The Idem Studio was established within a 15,000-square-foot, two-story workshop at 49 rue de Montparnasse. Originally built in 1881 by printer Eugene Dufrenoy, the workshop was designed to house his lithographic presses. In its early days, the facility relied on 19th-century flat machines powered by belt-driven propeller shafts and a steam boiler. The space was later occupied by the Michard Printing Company, which specialized in crafting vibrant, special edition maps. In 1976, Fernand Mourlot acquired the workshop and transformed it into a fine art printshop. Throughout its history, the workshop has seen a revival of lithography, with craftsmen collaborating closely with esteemed artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alberto Giacometti, Joan Miró, and Marc Chagall. Today, the printshop is dedicated to contemporary artists like Sophie Calle, JR, William Kentridge, David Lynch, Paul McCarthy, and Raymond Pettibon. Lithographs at Idem Studio are created by drawing an image on a flat stone or transferring it onto aluminum plates. The image is then treated with water and an oil-based ink that is rolled across the surface. Paper is placed atop the matrix and run through a press, transferring the ink onto the paper to form the final lithograph. The process results in a rich, dense layer of ink, producing an exceptional final piece. Now known as Idem, the Mourlot company stands as one of the oldest printing houses still utilizing traditional lithography techniques.

    Swoon- Caledonia Curry Kamayura Oaxaca 2013 Giclee Print by Swoon- Caledonia Curry

    Kamayura Oaxaca 2013 Giclee Print by Swoon- Caledonia Curry Artwork Limited Edition Print on Heavy Fine Art Rag Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 175 Artwork Size 19x13 From The Swoon Street Series Print Collection. Kamayura Oaxaca 2013 Giclee Print by Swoon A Visual Archive of Human Dignity in Urban Space The Kamayura Oaxaca 2013 Giclee Print by Caledonia Curry, known globally as Swoon, is a powerful example of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork translated onto fine art paper. Created as part of Swoon’s Street Series Print Collection, the image captures one of her original wheatpaste street installations from Oaxaca, Mexico, depicting a striking female figure blending human and mythological attributes. This signed and numbered giclee print, released in 2016 in a limited edition of 175, measures 19 by 13 inches and is printed on heavy fine art rag paper. The artwork not only documents Swoon’s presence on walls across Latin America but also speaks to the symbolic relationship between community identity, resistance, and the ephemeral nature of street-based intervention. Stylistic Complexity and Symbolic Composition Kamayura Oaxaca 2013 reflects the intricate cut-paper aesthetics and humanitarian storytelling that define Swoon’s visual language. The figure in the image—part warrior, part mermaid—clutches twin crocodiles as scaled armor drapes over her legs. Radiating lines extend from her back like a halo, while beneath her figure is a tangled collage of snakes, architecture, and flora, all executed in precise linework. These motifs merge indigenous symbolism with modern urban decay, evoking themes of transformation, resilience, and the interconnectedness of natural and built environments. The bright yellow and deep red stucco wall behind the wheatpaste creates a dynamic color contrast, anchoring the image in its original street context while enhancing the mythic presence of the central figure. Caledonia Curry’s Global Street Narratives Swoon, born Caledonia Curry in the United States, has long been celebrated for her ability to blend classical printmaking techniques with the accessibility of street placement. Her work often features portraits of women, community figures, and allegorical representations that touch on social justice, environmental healing, and cultural storytelling. The Kamayura Oaxaca print aligns with her extensive practice of placing intricate paper cutouts directly onto decaying urban surfaces across the globe—from the walls of Brooklyn to the alleys of Haiti and Latin America. In Mexico, her work speaks directly to indigenous voices and post-colonial memory, reinforcing the role of graffiti as both an act of public beautification and political expression. The Importance of the Street Series Print Collection The Kamayura Oaxaca 2013 edition is part of the Street Series Print Collection, which serves as a tangible archive of Swoon’s ephemeral installations. Each print in the series offers collectors and admirers the opportunity to experience the artist’s street-based work in a preserved, gallery-worthy format. By transferring temporary outdoor works onto archival paper, the collection maintains the immediacy and raw power of street art while allowing it to endure beyond the natural wear of weather and urban development. This series also illustrates how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can transcend its original environment without losing its impact, narrative depth, or visual intensity.

Montejano's choice of materials—100% cotton rag paper with hand-deckled edges—complements the organic subject matter, grounding the piece in tradition and craftsmanship. The hand-sprayed stencils create a sharp contrast characteristic of graffiti art, while the intricate details and layering echo the complexities of pop art imagery.

South America Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

South America as a Global Influence in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork

South America has long served as fertile ground for socially charged visual expression, where art intersects with resistance, identity, and urban culture. From the Andean highlands to the dense cityscapes of São Paulo, Bogotá, Lima, and Buenos Aires, the region's rich cultural diversity and tumultuous political histories have made walls into stages for public storytelling. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork across South America often emerges from economic inequality, post-colonial narratives, and grassroots activism. Murals are not just decorative but act as socio-political commentary—depicting indigenous struggles, governmental critique, and everyday life in ways that transcend traditional gallery spaces. The continent’s deep Indigenous, African, and European heritage has shaped a visual language that is both regionally unique and globally impactful.

Artists and Movements Rising from the Streets

South American artists have used public walls to assert identity, reclaim spaces, and build global recognition. Os Gêmeos, twins Otávio and Gustavo Pandolfo from Brazil, brought their surrealist, yellow-toned characters from São Paulo’s favelas to international acclaim, blending hip-hop culture with Brazilian folklore and street symbolism. In Argentina, the duo Jaz and Ever inject classical painting styles into large-scale murals layered with local myth and political satire. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork in South America remains deeply engaged with the communities where it lives, often made in collaboration with locals or influenced by regional folk traditions. Artists like Cekis from Chile and Stinkfish from Colombia fuse stencil techniques with bright indigenous iconography and photographic portraits, creating work that celebrates the diversity and resilience of their roots.

Cities as Canvases and Cultural Archives

Urban environments across South America serve as dynamic and constantly evolving canvases. Cities like Valparaíso in Chile or Medellín in Colombia are internationally recognized for their public art scenes, where entire neighborhoods have been transformed through mural festivals and cultural initiatives. The political nature of much Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork in these areas is inextricably tied to memory and protest. During times of dictatorship or civic unrest, graffiti became a critical method of resistance—slogans, imagery, and unauthorized murals were used to document events that were otherwise silenced. This context still shapes the work being created today, with street art continuing as a medium for civic engagement, remembrance, and education.

South America’s Global Footprint

The impact of South America on Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork extends beyond its borders through international exhibitions, mural exchanges, and limited-edition art toy and print releases. Artists from the region often collaborate with global brands or participate in worldwide street art festivals, exporting a voice that is distinctly South American in tone, color, and message. Whether through aerosol portraits in the Amazon or politically charged paste-ups in urban centers, the continent continues to inspire with its blend of ancestral heritage and bold modernity. South America offers not only visual innovation but a living archive of struggle, joy, and resistance through the language of the street.
