Josh Keyes Mad World Edition of 300 13x16 inches / 33x40.6cm Fine art print on 290gsm paper Signed and numbered by the artist Josh Keyes exists equally in the world of surrealism and realism. No matter how contradictory this may seem, his art manages to balance physiological accuracy and extreme photorealism with an eco-surrealistic scenery and interactions. The theoretical context of his work is connected to mythological and folklore themes –especially the legends and stories of Native Americans- and the imagery that exists between dreams and nightmares in order to express profound existential anxiety and uncertainty.

    Made514 Steel Passion Archival Print by Made514

    Steel Passion Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Made514 Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "I really like the shape of the letters in this piece. They remind me of some kind of a bio/anatomical shape. This piece was originally on exhibit for the Artaq in Paris and sold at the Pierre Cardin space in Paris during an exhibition. It was part of a black and white series I had done on a metal plate and this piece is probably the best piece of the series. I think overall it is also one of my favorite works, I like the flow and the movement that it has. I painted this piece with water-based enamel for the background and fine acrylic for the styles. I also used fire to burn the metal to create different kinds of shadows which gave more depth to the artwork. The support is a metal plate recycled from an offset printing press.” - Made514

  • Techno Standpipe Original Street Sign Painting by RD-357 Real Deal

    RD-357 Real Deal Techno Standpipe Original Street Sign Painting by RD-357 Real Deal

    Techno Standpipe Original Street Sign Painting by RD-357 Real Deal Spray Paint Mixed Media is one of the kinds of artwork on New York City FDNY Standpipe Notice Sign Pop Graffiti Street Artwork. 2014 Signed Spray Painting Original Artwork on Real Reclaimed NYC Fire Fighter Metal Urban City Street Sign Size 13x18 Futuristic Sci-Fi Cyborg Robot Woman with Guns & Future Weapon Arm Replacement—RD Tag in Rust Red. RD-357's Techno Standpipe: A Metaphor of Futurism in Street Art The original Techno Standpipe street sign painting by RD-357, also known as Real Deal, is a compelling piece of street pop art that seamlessly blends technology and urban grit. Created in 2014, this work of art reimagines a New York City Fire Department standpipe notice sign as a backdrop for a dystopian narrative. The piece, signed by RD-357, features a futuristic sci-fi cyborg woman armed with advanced weaponry, conveying powerful themes of transformation and the intersection of humanity and technology. Symbolism and Significance in RD-357's Artwork In 'Techno Standpipe,' the cyborg woman symbolizes the evolving relationship between humans and machines. Her robotic arm replacement, depicted with meticulous detail, suggests enhancement and perhaps the loss of human elements, a theme that resonates deeply in an era where technology increasingly interfaces with every aspect of life. The choice of a standpipe sign, an emblem of safety and regulation, contrasts with the unrestrained and anarchic spirit of the cyborg, creating a visual paradox that challenges the viewer to consider the implications of technological advancement. The RD tag in rust red serves as the artist's signature and integration into the piece's aesthetic, echoing the rust and decay that often accompany urban infrastructure. This artwork, measuring 13x18 inches, uses spray paint to bring to life the textures and tones of metal and flesh, bridging the gap between the industrial and the organic. RD-357's Technique and Artistic Vision RD-357's execution of 'Techno Standpipe' demonstrates a masterful use of mixed media, combining the stark, flat surface of a metal sign with the depth and dynamism of spray paint. The artist employs shading, contouring, and color contrasts to give the cyborg figure a three-dimensional appearance, projecting her out of the sign's flatness and into the viewer's space. The shadows and highlights create a sense of movement, suggesting action and energy, symbolic of street pop art's dynamic nature. The artwork's gritty realism, underscored by the wear and tear on the sign itself, reflects the urban environment's influence on RD-357. Using a real street sign repurposes the found object and contextualizes the art within the living, breathing cityscape. This piece thus becomes a conversation between the artist, the medium, and the ever-changing urban landscape. The Cultural Resonance of 'Techno Standpipe' As a piece of street pop art and graffiti, 'Techno Standpipe' carries within it the pulse of contemporary culture, where concerns about the encroachment of technology into the human sphere are ever-present. RD-357 captures this zeitgeist, presenting a future vision that is both a warning and a wonder. The artwork invites introspection on the viewer's part, urging them to contemplate the direction in which society is headed. RD-357, whose real name and country of origin remain anonymous, maintains the tradition of street artists who operate under pseudonyms, preserving the mystery and rawness central to the genre. The 'Techno Standpipe' is a bold statement within RD-357's oeuvre, a one-of-a-kind piece that embodies the transformative and provocative power of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It is a visual manifesto of the times, a metallic cry from the city's heart that resonates with modern existence's complexities.

Street Art Graffiti Pop Artwork

Origins and Evolution of Street Art

Street art, a vibrant facet of urban culture, has evolved from its origins as illicit graffiti to become a recognized form of public art that influences and is influenced by pop art and graffiti art. The term encompasses a variety of visual art forms created in public locations, typically outside of the traditional venues of art galleries or museums. The genesis of street art can be traced back to the graffiti movement of the 1960s and 1970s in New York City, where artists began using the urban landscape to express themselves outside the constraints of the art establishment. These early graffiti artists laid the foundation for street art by taking their work to the streets and marking buildings, subways, and billboards with their distinctive styles.

Transition from Graffiti to Street Art

As the movement grew, the scope of street art expanded. Artists began experimenting with different materials and techniques, including stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheat pasting, and street installations. The accessibility of street art, visible to all who pass by, challenged the notion that art should be confined to galleries and museums. Instead, it argued that it could be a form of communication and expression integrated into everyday life.

Street Art and Pop Art: A Symbiotic Relationship

The influence of pop art on street art is evident in the shared use of popular cultural imagery and the critique of consumerism. Pop art pioneers like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein borrowed from commercial art and advertising, much like street artists incorporate logos, branding, and cartoon characters into their work to comment on contemporary society.

Legal and Ethical Considerations

While street art has gained popularity and acceptance, the legality of unsanctioned work remains a contentious issue. Creating art in public spaces without permission is illegal in many jurisdictions, and yet, this transgressive nature gives street art some of its power. The debate over whether street art constitutes vandalism or public service highlights the ongoing tension between the artist's freedom of expression and the rights of property owners.

Street Art in the Digital Age

The rise of social media has played a significant role in the proliferation and democratization of street art. Platforms like Instagram have allowed street artists to share their work with a global audience, transcending the physical limitations of location. Digital photography and the internet have also enabled street art to be documented and preserved, countering its inherently ephemeral nature.

Impact on Culture and Society

Street art can uniquely engage with the community and reflect the social and political climate. Artists like Banksy, Shepard Fairey, and JR use street art to provoke thought and inspire conversation on topics ranging from war and peace to poverty and human rights. This engagement with broader societal issues elevates street art from mere decoration to a form of social commentary.

Commercialization and Mainstream Acceptance

As street art has become more mainstream, it has become more commercialized. This commercialization raises questions about the soul of street art. Can street art maintain its edge and authenticity when sold in galleries or commissioned by brands? This debate continues to shape the trajectory of street art as it becomes an increasingly accepted form of contemporary art. Street art, a dynamic and multifaceted form of creative expression, occupies a unique position at the intersection of visual art, cultural commentary, and public engagement. As it continues to evolve, the influence of street pop art and graffiti artwork on the cultural landscape is undeniable. It remains a powerful tool for artists to connect with the public, challenge societal norms, and push the boundaries of what is possible in art.
