This ties the work to a deep-rooted tradition while presenting it through the lens of modern-day pop and street art. What sets this piece apart, even more, is its exclusivity. As an Artist Proof, it is not just a mere representation of Montejano's vision but also offers a closer, more personal glimpse into his creative process. Marked with the artist’s signature, this limited edition piece serves as a bridge between the urban streets from where street art draws its inspiration and the polished galleries that pop art often finds its home. Such a piece not only speaks of its inherent artistic value but also stands as a chronicle of the times, cultures, and emotions that birthed it.

Wild Card Boxing Club Calavera Limited Edition 1-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Ernesto Yerena Montejano Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed & Numbered Wild Card Boxing Calavera 18x24 Edition of 300 Signed and Numbered Signed by Freddie Roach & Ernesto Yerena Montejano "Growing up in a Mexican-American working class family and community, I remember how important sports were to most of my friends and their families. Particularly, I so remember the early 90’s and seeing a lot of Raider, Charger, Chivas de Guadalajara and America jersey’s and of course those of the Dodger’s and their blue and white hats with the iconic LA blazoned on the front. But my immediate family was different. My dad who in the early 1990’s sold automotive paint and painted cars was surprisingly not that much into the usual sports but all except for BOXING! At that point in time I remember the gatherings at my house when there was a Julio Ces One- Rob Provenzano ar Chavez fight, a De La Hoya fight or a Maromero Paez fight. My dad would bring the TV outside, set-up a bunch of chairs, roll out the grill, fire up the mesquite and lay down the marinated carne asada before the first round bell. I remember how much fun those days were and how much pride people had in the Mexican fighters." -Ernesto Yerena Montejano

Nobody Loves You Vinyl Art Toy by Joan Cornellà Limited Edition Collectible Sculpture Figure Fine Artwork by Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2024 Limited Edition Artwork Size 3x8.3 New In Box Printed Foot Vinyl Fine Art Toy Figure Sculpture. Girl in Pink Dress with Birthday Holiday Cake Reading: Nobody Loves You. Joan Cornellà's Provocative Vision: The "Nobody Loves You" Vinyl Art Toy Joan Cornellà, a Barcelona-based artist known for his unsettling yet humorous illustrations, has ventured into the three-dimensional realm with his "Nobody Loves You" vinyl art toy. This limited edition sculpture captures the essence of Cornellà's signature style, which often juxtaposes brightly colored, cheerful aesthetics with dark, satirical themes. The "Nobody Loves You" vinyl toy, a figure of a girl in a pink dress holding a birthday cake with the words "Nobody Loves You" inscribed on it, is a classic example of Cornellà's approach to art that blends pop sensibilities with street art's raw commentary. Dissecting the Layers of Satire in Cornellà's Work This particular piece by Joan Cornellà is steeped in irony. The surface-level cheeriness of a birthday celebration is undercut by the bleak message on the cake, a stark reminder of the loneliness and isolation that can accompany personal milestones. The girl's wide-eyed, seemingly oblivious smile contrasts sharply with the message, creating a dissonance that is both humorous and disturbing. This tension is a hallmark of Cornellà's work and reflects his ability to use the format of street pop art to explore complex emotional and societal themes. The collectible nature of the piece, with its limited run, stamped authenticity, and certificate of authenticity, also adds a layer of commentary on the commodification of art and emotions. Cornellà's Influence on Street Pop Art and Collectible Culture Joan Cornellà has become an influential figure in the intersection of street pop art, graffiti artwork, and the burgeoning culture of art toys. His vinyl figures, which often sell out quickly due to their limited edition status, are prized not just for their aesthetic and collectible value but also for their incisive social commentary. The "Nobody Loves You" toy is a fine example of how Cornellà's work has transcended traditional canvas and paper, taking on new life in the world of three-dimensional art. These figures serve not only as home or office decor but also as conversation pieces that challenge viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about human nature and social dynamics. Joan Cornellà's work, especially pieces like the "Nobody Loves You" vinyl art toy, continues to push the boundaries of pop art and street art. They challenge viewers to question their perceptions of normalcy and happiness in contemporary society. As collectibles, these toys represent a unique fusion of fine art and street culture, a testament to the versatility and enduring relevance of Cornellà's artistic vision.
