Boudica Is Coming to HPM Embellished 6-Color Silkscreen Print by Jamie Reid Hand-Pulled on Distressed 400gsm Reverse Optimum Grey Card Limited Edition Artwork. 2018 Signed By Both Artists HPM Acrylic Hand Embellished Stencil & Numbered Limited Edition of 350 Artwork Size 17x25 Silkscreen Print of Queen Boudica on Horse Chariot Next To Skyscraper Building Art Car Boot Fair Edition Hand Distressed Boudica Is Coming: HPM Embellished Silkscreen Print by Jamie Reid and James Cauty The artwork Boudica Is Coming is an exemplary piece in the fusion of street pop art and graffiti-inspired visuals. Created by renowned British artists Jamie Reid and James Cauty, this work is an homage to rebellious iconography and the modern urban landscape. It is a limited edition of 350, hand-pulled on distressed 400gsm Reverse Optimum Grey Card, giving each piece a distinctive texture. Measuring 17x25 inches, the work captures the essence of street art culture while linking it to historical references, most notably through the imagery of Queen Boudica. The Iconography of Boudica in Street Pop Art Boudica, the ancient warrior queen of the Iceni tribe, is a recurring figure in British rebellious iconography. In this particular piece, Reid and Cauty draw a direct line between the defiant spirit of Boudica and the countercultural movements that define much of contemporary street art. She is depicted riding her iconic horse-drawn chariot, wielding strength and power. The juxtaposition of her figure against the backdrop of a modern skyscraper highlights the tension between history and the relentless progress of urbanization. This contrast is a central theme in street pop art, where historical and cultural symbols are frequently re-contextualized in contemporary urban environments. The use of Boudica in this context transforms her from a historical figure into a symbol of ongoing resistance. By placing her against a looming urban tower block, the artists are making a statement about the enduring relevance of rebellion in modern life. This ties into the broader themes of street pop art, where everyday environments, societal norms, and the tension between authority and individualism are challenged. Distressed Aesthetic and Graffiti Influences The aesthetic choices in Boudica Is Coming reflect the rough and gritty style often associated with graffiti artwork. The silkscreen is printed on distressed grey card stock, adding texture and uniqueness to each print. The distressed elements create a worn, almost decaying look, contrasting with the piece's vibrant neon colors. This distressing technique is particularly effective in replicating the look and feel of urban street walls, where posters and graffiti interact with the elements, slowly eroding into new forms. Jamie ReReid'sackground in graphic design and punk rock visuals plays a vital role in the pipiece'sverall composition. His work with the Sex Pistols and his distinctive collage style, which often includes defaced and altered political symbols, resonates throughout this silkscreen. The stencil-like appearance of Boudica and her chariot is reminiscent of street tagging, a nod to graffiti arart'soots. Meanwhile, James Cauty, known for his work with the KLF and as part of the art collective The Grey Organisation, brings a postmodern, dystopian sensibility to the piece. Combining these two artists creates a visual dialogue between rebellion, decay, and the ever-evolving cityscape. Hand-pulled and Hand-Embellished Elements A vital aspect of this edition is its hand-pulled silkscreen printing process. Each print is not just mechanically reproduced but crafted with care, resulting in slight variations between editions, making each piece unique. The silkscreen process, especially in the hands of Reid and Cauty, imbues the work with a tactile quality that draws the viewer in. The bold, almost fluorescent colors demand attention, creating a dynamic contrast between the monochrome tower block and the vibrancy of the lettering and Queen BoBoudica'silhouette. Further enhancing the print is the hand-embellished acrylic stenciling. Each print has been individually embellished by the artists, adding layers of paint extending beyond traditional prints' flatness. This manual intervention by the artists adds depth and texture, reinforcing the sense of the handmade, a cornerstone of street art and graffiti practices. These embellishments ensure that no two prints are exactly alike, adding to the value and collectability of the piece. Queen Boudica in the Urban Landscape The juxtaposition of Queen Boudica against a towering skyscraper is not merely a visual choice but a statement. It speaks to the encroachment of modernity on history, tradition, and natural landscapes. Skyscrapers, often symbols of corporate power and modernity, stand in stark contrast to the ancient, organic power represented by Boudica and her horse-drawn chariot. In this sense, Boudica Is Coming embodies the tension between the past and present, nature and industry, rebellion and order. The use of bold text in the piece, announcing Boudica Is Coming, adds a sense of immediacy and urgency. It speaks to the viewer in the way street art does, with its direct, almost confrontational messaging. The message itself hints at the idea of resurgence or the return of something powerful and transformative. Boudica becomes a stand-in for any number of modern resistances, whether political, social, or cultural. This is what makes the piece stand out in the world of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It engages the viewer visually and intellectually, prompting them to consider the implications of rebellion in the context of the modern city. It bridges history and contemporary street culture, creating a dialogue between the two. Boudica Is Coming by Jamie Reid and James Cauty is a powerful piece of street pop art that blends historical iconography with contemporary urban landscapes. Through its silkscreen process, hand-embellished elements, and the distressed aesthetic, it captures the raw energy of street art while commenting on the enduring relevance of rebellion and resistance. ItIt'sot just a print, but a visual and cultural statement that resonates within the framework of modern graffiti and pop art movements.

Roya HPM Hand Embellished Archival Print by Mateo Limited Edition Hand Painted Multiple on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Pop Artist Modern Artwork. 2025 Signed & Numbered HPM Hand Embellished Print Limited Edition of 10 HPM Uniques Artwork Size 17x24 Archival Pigment Fine Art Roya HPM by Mateo: Sacred Identity Rendered Through Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Roya HPM is a 2025 hand-embellished archival pigment print by French artist Mateo, produced in a limited edition of only 10 hand-painted multiples. Each edition within this exclusive HPM series is individually enhanced, transforming the fine art print into a one-of-a-kind mixed media statement. Printed on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper, the artwork measures 17x24 inches and carries the physical presence of a richly layered and deeply symbolic Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Mateo’s combination of sacred geometry, cultural portraiture, and lavish visual language is fully realized in this exquisite piece. Symbolism, Ornamentation, and Personal Identity In Roya, the central portrait emerges from a tapestry of intricately detailed motifs, gold embellishments, and sacred ornamental patterns that frame and fill the subject’s face and body. The woman’s features are composed with sharp photorealistic clarity, yet Mateo overlays her identity with a reverent layering of design—a nod to heritage, divinity, and beauty. The use of golden motifs radiating from the subject’s cheeks echoes Islamic and Persian architectural elements, honoring spiritual aesthetics while grounding the figure in cultural specificity. The artwork suggests not just a face, but a monument to memory, ancestry, and pride. Mateo’s masterful stencil work and embellishment with hand-painted elements makes each HPM in the edition a singular interpretation of the larger concept. No two prints are the same, as the artist deliberately injects variations in pattern, gilded detail, and color saturation. The result is an artwork that feels both universally symbolic and personally devotional. Luxury Techniques with Urban Grit The tactile brilliance of Roya HPM stems from its hybrid creation process—archival pigment printing ensures sharp fidelity to Mateo’s original design, while the Moab Entrada paper provides a lush, heavyweight surface for further hand embellishment. Each embellishment is a conscious act of layering history and meaning, blending graffiti-adjacent aerosol energy with fine art methodologies. Mateo’s work straddles public and private space, from murals to gallery walls, and this piece captures the tension between those two domains. This HPM print reflects Mateo’s ability to turn the language of street art into sacred visual storytelling. Gold-painted filigree evokes spiritual icons while celebrating global cultural traditions often excluded from western fine art narratives. Roya becomes not only a portrait but a tribute—a face carrying generations of stories, both visible and veiled. Street Pop Art that Honors Culture and Memory Mateo’s Roya HPM is a rare convergence of craft, message, and material. It speaks to the essence of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork: the elevation of marginalized voices through visual spectacle and emotional resonance. The work feels regal and revolutionary, sacred and defiant. In Mateo’s hands, portraiture becomes a canvas for cultural restoration, not through nostalgia but through transformation. Roya is not merely seen—it is experienced, celebrated, and remembered.
