Signed & Numbered Ultra Rare Edition of 14. Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on Paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey, Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner. "Created during the Iraq war, but the quest for peace requires perpetual vigilance, and the current invasion of Ukraine is a reminder of the brutality of war. The “War By Numbers” image is a statement about not becoming desensitized by war to the extent that it becomes as banal as a paint-by-numbers image. The “Peace Elephant” is an appeal to our sense of Karma and harmony with the world around us." - Shepard Fairey A profound intersection of artistry and activism emerges in "War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway," an emblematic piece presented by the collaborative brilliance of Shepard Fairey, Ernesto Yerena Montejano, Hecho Con Ganas, and Obey. Showcased on meticulously hand-deckled fine art paper, this 20x26.5 inch artwork not only exemplifies the prowess of its creators but also delves deeply into the social and political fabric of contemporary global scenarios. Dated 2022, this piece holds the distinction of being an ultra-rare Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on paper, with only 14 such editions in existence, each one thoughtfully signed and numbered. Notably, the presence of the Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner augments its authenticity and intrinsic value. While the artwork itself is a marvel of color interplay and design, its underlying message is both timeless and urgent. Shepard Fairey's own words elucidate the motivation behind its creation, highlighting its inception during the Iraq war. Yet, its resonance extends beyond that particular conflict. The piece emerges as an enduring reminder of the costs of warfare, particularly with the poignant backdrop of the recent Ukraine invasion. Fairey astutely draws attention to the dangers of becoming inured to the horrors of conflict, suggesting that society must never allow war's devastation to become as commonplace and mundane as a paint-by-numbers image. This sentiment is further emphasized by the inclusion of the "Peace Elephant," symbolizing the universal aspiration for harmony and an appeal to humanity's collective conscience. In the vast realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti, "War By Numbers" stands as a testament to art's ability to transcend aesthetic appeal, challenging viewers to confront and engage with the world's most pressing issues.

Peoples Power Original Painting Mixed Media Stencil & Spray Paint on Cut Out Wood Panel by Icy & Sot Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed Original Spray Paint & Stencil Painting on Cut-Out Wood Artwork Size 21x46 "Life Size" "American Dream is inspired by the homeless guy holding ag Starbucks cup and asking for money. There are a lot of homeless people in New York, but they are invisible in between skyscrapers. We painted him bigger than the Empire State Building so he can be noticed more." - Icy &. Sot Decoding the Visual Language of 'People's Power' The artwork titled 'People's Power' by the street artist duo Icy & Sot is a striking example of modern pop art that interweaves the raw intensity of graffiti with the engaging allure of stencil work. Created in 2015, this original piece was meticulously crafted using mixed media, predominantly stencil and spray paint, on a cut-out wood panel. The artists' choice of materials and their technique tell of their deep roots in the traditions of street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the use of spray paint is iconic, and stencils allow for sharp, repeatable imagery that can be rapidly executed in the often tricky environments of public spaces. Artistic Expression on Social Realities 'People's Power' resonates with the ethos of street art by boldly tackling socio-political themes. Icy & Sot's work often reflects a keen awareness of contemporary issues; this piece is no exception. The narrative behind the 'American Dream' — the inspiration for 'People's Power' — stems from the artist's observation of a homeless individual in New York City, cradling a Starbucks cup while begging for money. This poignant scene, set against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers, sparked the creation of an artwork that seeks to amplify the presence of the often overlooked and marginalized figures in urban landscapes. The Symbolic Imagery of 'People's Power' In 'People's Power,' the central figure is depicted as larger than life, overshadowing the iconic Empire State Building. This artistic choice elevates the subject, literally and figuratively, granting him a visibility that is usually denied in real life. The mixed crowd surrounding the central figure appears to be in solidarity, suggesting a collective uprising or a unified stand against societal issues. The vibrant colors splashed across the face of the central figure add a sense of vitality and perhaps a glimmer of hope amidst the stark black and white of the crowd. Technique and Form in Icy & Sot's Creative Process The technical prowess of Icy & Sot is evident in the stencil work's precision and the spray paint's controlled chaos. By opting for a wood panel as the substrate, the artists step away from the transient nature of street walls, allowing 'People's Power' to exist as a portable manifesto of their artistic and ideological stance. The cut-out form of the artwork disrupts the conventional rectangular canvas, giving the piece an almost sculptural presence that echoes the three-dimensional experience of encountering street art in the wild. Contextualizing 'People's Power' Within Street Pop Art 'People's Power' is more than a visually captivating piece; it is a cultural artifact that encapsulates the spirit of street pop art. Icy & Sot have successfully harnessed the expressive potential of graffiti artwork to communicate with a broad audience, transcending linguistic and cultural barriers. The artwork's accessibility is crucial to its impact, following the tradition of street art that speaks directly to the public, unfiltered by the gatekeeping norms of traditional galleries and museums. Impact and Legacy of 'People's Power' The legacy of 'People's Power' lies in its ability to confront and converse with its audience about uncomfortable truths. As with many seminal works in the street pop art genre, this piece's value is amplified by its relevance to contemporary societal discourses. Icy & Sot's commitment to addressing the uncomfortable facets of modernity is what positions 'People's Power' as not only an object of aesthetic admiration but also as a beacon of social consciousness in the realm of modern art.

Captain America HPM Spray Paint Silkscreen Print by Mr. Brainwash- Thierry Guetta Mixed Media Screen Print on Deckled Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2018 Signed Custom Framed Spray Paint, Acrylic Paint Mixed Media HPM Embellished Artwork Size 48x36. Stylistic Norman Rockwell Inspired Boy & Girl Children on Bench Admiring Graffiti Art in Classic Vintage Style with Tons of Colorful Spray Paint & Paint Hand-Embellished. Custom Ornate Antiqued hammered Style Bronze Colored Frame Size 48x60 Norman Rockwell Reimagined Through Street Pop Art In an evocative blend of nostalgic Americana and the energetic chaos of street art, Thierry Guetta, under his alias Mr. Brainwash, crafted a striking piece of work in 2018. His "Captain America" stands out as a testament to the potential of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork to bridge periods and stylistic genres. This particular artwork marries the innocence and warmth of Norman Rockwell's depictions of American life with graffiti art's vibrant, raw expressiveness, creating a juxtaposition that is both thought-provoking and visually captivating. Guetta's artwork is a silkscreen print on fine art paper, rendered unique through his signature hand-embellished spray and acrylic paint techniques. The piece portrays a boy and girl seated on a bench in a classic vintage pose reminiscent of Rockwell's iconic illustrations. However, instead of a peaceful, pastoral backdrop, the children are set against a riot of colorful graffiti, representing the urban landscape's artistic undercurrents. It's a canvas that tells a story of contrasts - the timeless and the modern, the planned and the spontaneous. This particular work by Guetta is a commentary on the enduring nature of specific cultural symbols and their recontextualization within modern frameworks. Though inspired by a bygone era, the subjects are brought into the present day through graffiti, which splatters and sprawls across the canvas with abandon. With their backs to the viewer, the children seem to be contemplating the graffiti, symbolizing perhaps the new generation's contemplation of street art's place in the continuum of American artistic tradition. Guetta's Captain America Technique: A Fusion of Mediums The layering of paint and the strategic use of color in "Captain America" showcase Guetta's skill in creating depth and movement. The hand-embellishments serve to individualize each piece in the limited edition series and highlight the textural contrasts intrinsic to Street Pop Art. The ornate antiqued hammered-style bronze-colored frame, much like the ones that might encase a traditional Rockwell, adds a layer of irony and commentary on art forms' perceived value and framing. As with much of Guetta's work, "Captain America" has been met with acclaim and discussion, sparking conversations about the intersections of street art with other artistic movements. By placing traditional subjects within the framework of graffiti, Guetta invites the viewer to reconsider preconceived notions about the legitimacy and beauty of street-inspired art. The piece is an invitation to witness and participate in the evolution of Street Pop Art as it continues to infiltrate and influence the broader art world. Collectibility and Cultural Relevance of Street Pop and Graffiti Art The collectibility of Guetta's work lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its ability to capture and convey the pulse of contemporary culture. "Captain America" is a snapshot of the moment when street art's vibrancy and relevance became undeniably apparent to the world. Owning such a piece is akin to holding a fragment of the zeitgeist, a remembrance of the era when the mainstream fully embraced street art without losing its edge or authenticity. In the final analysis, Thierry Guetta's "Captain America" is a richly layered homage to the power of art to transcend boundaries and speak to successive generations. It's a visual celebration of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork's unique ability to weave together disparate threads of the American artistic narrative. As Mr. Brainwash continues to leave his indelible mark on the art scene, works like "Captain America" will remain as vibrant testaments to a time when the streets rose to claim their space on the walls of galleries and the halls of cultural institutions.
