Lately, I have transitioned mostly into mixed media paintings, but I've been doing hardcore graffiti, if you want to call it that, for thirty-plus years. It's what made me Cope2. But I like to change it up and show all my different styles. So, with this show, I can show my style evolution and how I've progressed. "Versatile" shows where I came from and what I'm doing now," Cope2 said from his studio in New York. -Cope2 The Evolution of Cope2 in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Within the pantheon of street pop art and graffiti artwork, Cope2 stands as a figure of significant importance, a name synonymous with the gritty roots and dynamic evolution of the genre. The "Detroit Series 25 Original Painting" is a testament to the artist's journey through the ever-changing landscape of urban art. This 2010 signed and titled original piece, measuring 24x16 inches, fuses spray paint, acrylic paint, and mixed media on a cradled wood panel, embodying the essence of what Cope2 has termed as 'hardcore graffiti.' Yet, it does more than that. It showcases a readiness to hang graffiti artwork that pulsates with the energy of bubble letters, a signature style that has made Cope2 a celebrated figure in modern pop art. This piece is not simply a static work of art; it narrates the story of Cope2's artistic evolution. Having spent over three decades dedicated to the craft of graffiti, Cope2 has earned recognition not just for his adherence to the raw foundations of graffiti but also for his adaptability and his embrace of mixed media approaches. The "Detroit Series 25" reflects this transition, showcasing how the artist has progressed from the streets to the studio, from the brief to the enduring. Cope2's Artistic Journey and Influence on Modern Art In the artist's words, Cope2 has described his artistic journey as one marked by versatility and evolution. The shift from exclusively employing spray paint to a multifaceted array of mediums signals a broader trend within street art's integration into the fine art world. The "Detroit Series 25" is emblematic of this shift, combining traditional graffiti techniques with the tactile nature of acrylics and the solidity of wood as a canvas. This fusion reflects a sophisticated approach to street-inspired art, blurring the boundaries between an underground subculture and the polished gallery scene. Cope2's work, particularly in the "Detroit Series," can be seen as a cultural chronicle, documenting the rise of street art from subversive beginnings to mainstream acclaim. His pieces are imbued with the spirit of New York's urban landscape, the birthplace of contemporary graffiti, yet they speak to audiences far beyond the city's confines. Through his work, Cope2 has captured the visceral thrill of graffiti, the bold colors, the daring contours, and the unapologetic self-expression, all while translating it into a format that commands respect within the contemporary art sphere. Reflecting Social Narratives through Graffiti Artwork Cope2's "Detroit Series 25" is more than an aesthetic endeavor; it is a social statement, capturing the zeitgeist of its era. His art does not exist in a vacuum but as a vibrant commentary on the environment from which it springs. The artwork tells the story of transition, not just for the artist but for the medium of graffiti itself. Once relegated to the fringes of the art world, considered an act of vandalism, graffiti has been recontextualized through works like those of Cope2. These pieces reflect the changing narratives around street art, elevating it to a form of street pop art that mirrors society's evolving attitudes towards public space, ownership, and artistic liberty. The legacy of Cope2's "Detroit Series 25" lies in its ability to capture the imagination of a diverse audience, bringing the raw, unfiltered voice of the streets into the sanctified spaces of art galleries. It embodies the spirit of resilience and adaptability, allowing graffiti to endure and flourish despite often hostile societal perceptions. The artwork stands as a vibrant testament to the power of street pop art and graffiti artwork to transcend their origins, influencing and reshaping the modern art scene in profound ways. In contemplating the impact of the "Detroit Series 25," it becomes clear that Cope2's influence extends beyond the visual. His work, with its vivid imagery and poignant use of mixed media, underscores the potential of graffiti to act as a catalyst for dialogue and reflection. It is a powerful demonstration of the artist's ability to evolve while remaining true to the core tenets of his craft, ensuring that his work remains relevant and resonant in the fast-paced world of modern art. Through his creations, Cope2 has shown where he came from and what he is doing now, marking his indelible imprint on the fabric of street pop art and graffiti artwork.

But I like to change it up and show all my different styles. So, with this show, I can show my evolution of style and how I've progressed. "Versatile" shows where I came from and what I'm doing now," Cope2 said from his studio in New York. -Cope2 Cope2's Detroit Series 16: An Emblem of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Cope2, a name synonymous with the gritty vibrancy of street pop art and graffiti artwork, presents us with "Detroit Series 16", which encapsulates the essence of urban expression. This 2010 original painting is a vivid example of the fusion of spray paint, acrylic paint, and mixed media on cradled wood. At a sizeable 24x24 inches, this ready-to-hang piece is an authentic Cope2 creation, complete with his iconic bubble letters that burst with the energy and spontaneity characteristic of his work. This particular piece of the Detroit Series is a rich tapestry of color, texture, and form. Using cradled wood as a substrate represents a departure from the temporary walls and subway cars that traditionally serve as canvases for graffiti artists. Cope2's choice of material marks a conscious step towards the permanence and longevity of his art, aligning with his desire to evolve and adapt over his thirty-plus years of creating. By employing a mixed media approach, Cope2 bridges the gap between graffiti's raw, street-level artistry and the refined, deliberate nature of studio-created works. The Evolution of Style in Cope2's Work The journey that Cope2 describes in his transition to mixed media paintings is evident in "Detroit Series 16". The artwork serves as a visual narrative of his stylistic evolution, revealing the layers of growth and change that define his career. In his own words, the versatility of his art showcases the breadth of his experience, from the unbridled expressions of 'hardcore graffiti' to the complex, multidimensional pieces he crafts today. The piece tells the story of an artist who is not content with the status quo, continuously pushing the boundaries of his medium to explore new techniques and concepts. The essence of street art, emphasizing accessibility and community engagement, is preserved in this work, even as it embraces elements of pop art's focus on mass media and popular culture. Cope2's work, mainly "Detroit Series 16", is a testament to the transformative power of art to convey personal journeys and societal narratives. It is a visual representation of the artist's belief in change, the potential of graffiti to evolve, and his ability to reflect these shifts through his art. Impact and Legacy of Cope2's Detroit Series The impact of "Detroit Series 16" extends beyond the visual appeal of its vibrant colors and intricate forms. It represents a moment in time within the broader narrative of street art's assimilation into the fine art world. Cope2's work, with its signature aesthetic and commitment to graffiti's core values, has played a pivotal role in redefining the perceptions of street-inspired art. The series, particularly this piece, exemplifies the fluid nature of contemporary art, where genres intersect and new forms emerge. As street art continues to gain recognition and respect within the art community, works like "Detroit Series 16" stand as milestones along this path of cultural acceptance. They are reminders of the roots of this art form in the uncommissioned, often unsanctioned expressions found in urban environments worldwide. Yet, they also signify the possibility of transcendence, of art that can rise from the streets to hang on the walls of collectors and enthusiasts who value the authenticity and raw power that graffiti embodies. In assessing Cope2's "Detroit Series 16" legacy, one cannot help but recognize the artist's influence on the trajectory of street pop art and graffiti artwork. His ability to navigate the transition from street to studio without losing the essence of graffiti's spirit is remarkable. The series offers a visual testimony to Cope2's enduring relevance in the art world, highlighting his role not just as an artist but as a chronicler of street art's dynamic and ever-evolving language.

  • Union Pacific Chilled Express Street Sign Original Acrylic Painting by Lyric One Union Pacific Chilled Express Street Sign Original Acrylic Painting by Lyric One

    Lyric One Union Pacific Chilled Express Street Sign Original Acrylic Painting by Lyric One

    Union Pacific Chilled Express Original One of a Kind Acrylic Paint Painting Artwork on Studded Distressed Cradled Wood by Popular Street Graffiti Artist Lyric One. 2019 Signed Hand-Painted Ready To Hang Original Acrylic Paint Wood Panel With Realistic Raised Rivets Size: 24 x 36 Inches Release: August 15, 2019 Capturing the Essence of Transient Motion in Street Art The 'Union Pacific Chilled Express' is a striking original acrylic painting by the famous street graffiti artist Lyric One. This 2019 hand-painted piece on a studded distressed cradled wood panel, with realistic raised rivets, measuring 24 x 36 inches, embodies the fusion of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It resonates with the movement and commercial vibrancy that are the lifeblood of the railroads, an homage to the transient nature of both freight and art. Industrial Narratives in Lyric One's Work Lyric One's artistic endeavor into the world of transportation and industry is encapsulated in this significant work. The subject matter – a Union Pacific refrigerator car used for transporting perishable goods across vast distances – is not a common muse for artists. However, Lyric One elevates this everyday industrial object to a piece of art, meticulously capturing the textures and surfaces that tell a story of travel, trade, and the passage of time. The artwork, signed and ready to hang, was released on August 15, 2019. It reflects the artist's deft ability to translate street pop art's ethos onto various canvases. The choice of distressed wood and the attention to detail, such as the raised rivets, are reminiscent of the textures found in urban environments. These rivets add a tactile element to the piece and echo the industrial nature of rail transport – each one could represent the countless connections and junctions found along the rail networks. Symbolism and Aesthetics in Graffiti Artwork In 'Union Pacific Chilled Express,' the contrast between the practical function of the chilled express service and the vibrant expression of graffiti art is striking. The bold, ice-blue lettering against the stark white background captures the viewer's attention, drawing them into a world where the industrial and the artistic collide. Snowflake motifs not only signify the refrigeration aspect but also add an element of fragility, a subtle nod to the impermanence often a theme in street art and the world of commerce. Lyric One's work is a testament to the dynamism of street pop art. With each brush stroke on the cradled wood, the artist brings to life the hum of the railway lines, the chill of the cargo holds, and the omnipresence of industry in our daily lives. The artwork is not just a static piece to be admired; it is an active participant in the dialogue about the role of industry in society and the omnipotent influence of commerce in our visual culture. This piece by Lyric One reminds us that street pop art and graffiti artwork are not confined to walls and alleyways but are dynamic forms that can transform any surface into a narrative. The 'Union Pacific Chilled Express celebrates this versatility and the ability of street artists to capture the essence of motion, industry, and life's transient nature in their work.

    Frontier I Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Paper by Artist Josh Keyes, Street Pop Art Graffiti Legend. Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper Size: 24 x 19 Inches Release: July 26, 2019 Run of: 250 I think they are successful in that I accomplished what I set out to express. I would enjoy revisiting this theme in the future. I think the imagery is interesting and wacky, and when I look at the print, it transports me someplace far, far away. I like art that leaves me slightly confused and with unanswered questions. If you need another reason, the paper and printing quality are top notch." - Josh Keyes 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 a profound existential anxiety and uncertainty. In the dystopia of Keyes nature interacts with the urban life in an abstract and unsettling way, which aesthetically reminisces scientific textbook illustrations and anatomical diagrams.

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.
