  • Consistency 5 Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Cope2- Fernando Carlo

    Cope2- Fernando Carlo Consistency 5 Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Cope2- Fernando Carlo

    Consistency- 5 Original Painting Spray Paint, Acrylic, Mixed Media on Cradled Wood Panel by Cope2 Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. In recent years Cope2 has been commissioned by Time Magazine, Converse, Adidas among others. His work has even crossed into the virtual realm with appearances in video games such as Mark Eckos: Getting up and Rockstar Games: Grand Theft Auto IV. During the mid-1990s Cope2 started slowly transitioning from the streets to the art scene of the galleries. At that time, street art was not as popular as it is in our days and the general public’s idea of it was still inextricably connected to ghettos, drug dealing, etc. The artist has never hidden his troubling past and avoids idealizing it, as a way to enhance his career and artistic persona. On the contrary, he mentions the following: “Oh man, there’s nothing to be proud of in hustling, but I had my first child at the age of 16, my son. So I had to make money to support him and his mother.

    Apexer Turk Street AP01 Original Spray Paint Painting by Apexer

    Turk Street AP 01 Original Painting Spray Paint Aerosol on Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper by Apexer Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "When I paint on the street I like to have fun. I'm always trying new ideas out that turn into more ideas. In this painting, I wanted to have two drastically different fill-in styles. So the top half is a classic fill of mine and in the bottom half, I play with the idea of different color chrome effects. It was a fun piece to paint in the heart of San Francisco. This piece is all part of my artistic vocabulary. This particular one says apex and I was painting in the super burner style, but I was really trying to push the ideas of color and style." - Apexer

  • Rock Climber PP Giclee Silkscreen Print by Martin Whatson

    Martin Whatson Rock Climber PP Giclee Silkscreen Print by Martin Whatson

    Rock Climber PP Giclee Silkscreen Print by Martin Whatson Printers Proof Hand-Pulled 18-Color Screen Print on 300gsm Somerset Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Artwork & Graffiti. PP Printers Proof 2021 Signed & Marked P/P Limited Edition Run Artwork Size 31.5x31.5 Giclee Over Silkscreen Print. Martin Watson Artistic Approach "Rock Climber PP" is a giclée and silkscreen print by Martin Whatson, a notable figure in contemporary street pop art and graffiti. As a Printer's Proof (PP) from a limited edition run in 2021, this piece captures the dynamic essence of urban art. Signed and marked by the artist, "Rock Climber PP" spans 31.5 inches by 31.5 inches and showcases Whatson's adeptness in blending giclée precision with the rawness of hand-pulled screen printing. Martin Whatson's art is recognized for its vivid portrayal of motion and emotion, often juxtaposed against a monochrome background. In "Rock Climber PP," Whatson employs an 18-color screen print on 300gsm Somerset fine art paper, a medium well-regarded for its texture and durability, which is crucial for the layered technique used in the work. The artwork is distinguished by its hand-pulled screen printing method, which ensures that each color layer is applied with personal attention, contributing to the print's depth and vibrancy. Convergence of Techniques in "Rock Climber PP" The combination of giclée and silkscreen print in "Rock Climber PP" exemplifies the convergence of digital precision and traditional printmaking. Giclée prints are known for their high-resolution and sharp detail, derived from digital printing. This modern technique allows for the gradations and nuances of the original artwork to be captured with exceptional clarity. On the other hand, silkscreen printing is a manual process that involves forcing ink through a mesh screen to create an image. It's a method deeply rooted in the history of street art and pop art due to its directness and capacity for bold, saturated colors. Cultural Impact of Watson's Work "Rock Climber PP" is more than a mere amalgamation of techniques; it is a visual narrative that speaks to the urban experience and its inherent search for meaning. The figure of the rock climber, striving upward amidst the chaotic splashes of color, symbolizes the human quest for progress and the challenges faced in the climb. This imagery represents street pop art's core themes: struggle, resilience, and the beauty found in the act of creation. The Significance of Limited Edition Prints As a Printer's Proof, "Rock Climber PP" holds a special place in collectible art. The printer or artist typically retains these proofs and are not part of the numbered edition, making them rarer than the standard prints. Collectors highly prize them for their exclusivity and the insight they provide into the artist's process. In addition, Watson's signature and the PP mark on the artwork seal authenticity, further elevating the print's value and desirability. In conclusion, "Rock Climber PP" by Martin Watson stands as a vibrant embodiment of the street pop art and graffiti movement. It captures the essence of urban art through the interplay of giclée and silkscreen techniques, resulting in an intricate and explosive piece. The print is a testament to Whatson's skillful navigation of art forms and ability to convey profound messages through his distinctive visual language. This artwork resonates with the energy of the streets and the spirit of contemporary art, encapsulating the genre's vitality.

    LushSux Train 24 HO Graffiti Train Art Toy Sculpture by LushSux

    Train 24 is an original acrylic on HO Scale model train box-car sculpture artwork by graffiti street artist and modern pop artist LushSux. 2014 Signed Original Graffiti Tag/Throw Up Painting on HO Model Train Car Artwork Size 14x3. Lush is a male model and sometimes an international graffiti asshole. Introducing "Train 24" by LushSux: A Canvas on Rails "Train 24" emerges as a distinct piece within the oeuvre of the audacious street artist LushSux. Known for his exquisite murals and daring street pop art, LushSux transitions his artistry onto an unconventional medium—an HO-scale model train box-car—melding the meticulous craft of model train enthusiasts with the rebellious streak of graffiti art. Signed and created in 2014, this original piece represents the scale-defying nature of graffiti art, demonstrating that the spirit of this street-bound art form can be encapsulated within the 14x3 inches of a model train. LushSux's Signature Style in Miniature Form The artwork "Train 24" features a graffiti tag, commonly called a throw-up, characterized by its bubbly letters and quick execution—a style that is a staple in LushSux's street art repertoire. The vibrant pink hue of the tag punctuates the otherwise subdued palette of the model train car, drawing the eye and challenging the viewer's perception of space and art. In bringing his craft to such a miniature scale, LushSux blurs the lines between the subversive nature of graffiti and the controlled precision of model train painting. The tag, sprawled across the length of the train, becomes a moving narrative, a literal vehicle for the artist's expression. The Artistic and Collectible Value of "Train 24" "Train 24" stands not only as a piece of modern pop art but also as a coveted collectible item within the subculture of model train collecting. Fusing this niche hobby with the dynamic world of street art creates a cross-cultural artifact that appeals to a diverse group of collectors and enthusiasts. As an original signed by LushSux, the piece carries the weight of authenticity and the prestige of ownership that is highly sought after in both the art world and the model train community. This work is a testament to LushSux's versatility as an artist and to the expansive possibilities of graffiti artwork as a genre that continues to challenge and redefine itself. "Train 24" is a locomotive sculpture that symbolizes the journey of street pop art from the fringes into the spotlight of mainstream collectibility and artistic recognition.

    M=bw² Collage 36x48 Large Format Silkscreen Print by Mr. Brainwash- Thierry Guetta  Hand-Pulled 13-Color on Deckled Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2024 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 18 Artwork Size 48x36 Silkscreen Print of Albert Enstine Holding Love is the Answer Sign Standing by a Highly Detailed Graffiti Tagged Wall. Confluence of Genius and Street Art: Thierry Guetta's Masterpiece In the vibrant sphere of street pop art, few pieces resonate with the intellectual depth and visual impact of "M=bw²," a commanding large format silkscreen print by the eminent street artist Thierry Guetta, known professionally as Mr. Brainwash. The 2024 signed and numbered limited edition release stands out with its striking dimensions of 48x36 inches. This print captures the iconic visage of Albert Einstein standing against a meticulously detailed wall, bathed in graffiti, with a sign declaring "Love is the Answer." This artwork is not merely a tribute to the theoretical physicist but a bold statement in the conversation between science and street pop art, merging the realms of theoretical physics with the visceral, color-splashed world of graffiti artwork. Artistic Interpretation of Einstein's Legacy Albert Einstein, a figure synonymous with genius, becomes the focal point in Mr. Brainwash's visual narrative, where the theoretical underpinnings of the universe meet the expressive freedom of street art. Guetta's piece distills the complexity of Einstein's contributions to science and his cultural significance into a single image that is as thought-provoking as it is aesthetically striking. With each of the limited 18 pieces, "M=bw²" presents a unique color palette, expertly hand-pulled across deckled fine art paper, which gives the artwork an organic edge and tactile presence that echoes the textural quality of graffiti on a brick wall. The interplay of Einstein's contemplative pose with the vibrant chaos of the background graffiti invites the viewer to reflect on the relationship between order and entropy, theory and practice, restraint and expression. This silkscreen print embodies a cross-disciplinary dialogue, encouraging interpretations that cross the borders of art, science, and philosophy. Guetta's Visual Ode to Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Mr. Brainwash's choice to depict Einstein in the context of graffiti is revelatory of the artist's appreciation for the inherent wisdom and revolutionary potential within both science and street art. The "M=bw²" collage becomes a symbolic gesture, aligning the transformative power of love, as alluded to in Einstein's sign, with the transformative power of street art. By superimposing such a profound message onto a wall that bears the marks of numerous anonymous street artists, Guetta pays homage to the communal and often revolutionary spirit of graffiti. The artwork thus becomes an anchor point in the larger narrative of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, asserting the value of love as a fundamental, universal answer, much like the answers Einstein sought in his equations. In each layer of paint and every deliberate silkscreened line, "M=bw²" reflects the multifaceted nature of human knowledge and creativity. Guetta's work is a testament to the ongoing influence of iconic historical figures and the power of art to reinterpret and repurpose their legacies in ways that resonate with contemporary culture and social discourse. As a medium, street art has often been a visual language for the marginalized and the voiceless, and in "M=bw²," it articulates a message that combines the intellectual and the emotional, the historical and the immediate. Through "M=bw²," Thierry Guetta continues to shape the pulse of street art, ensuring its role not just as a mode of artistic expression but as a medium for profound social and intellectual commentary. The work serves as a reminder that the essence of significant figures like Einstein can find new life and new relevance in the hands of visionary artists and that the questions of our existence remain as pertinent in the alleys adorned with graffiti as they do in the annals of science. In Guetta's print, the message that "Love is the Answer" stands as a universal truth that traverses the domains of art, science, and human experience.

    Cope2- Fernando Carlo Double Sided Exit Original Street Sign Graffiti Painting by Cope2- Fernando Carlo

    Double-Sided Exit Sign Art Mixed Media on MTA Signage Painting Artwork by street pop culture artist Cope2. Born in 1968 as Fernando Carlo, Jr. in New York City. Cope 2’s paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States and internationally. He is a self-taught artist who is a celebrated legend contributing over 30 years to the graffiti street-art culture. One of New York City’s most prolific graffiti artists, he began tagging his name in the South Bronx in 1978. He developed his style in the subways and streets of the Bronx creating graffiti productions throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s achieving international recognition for his distinctive style. The beginning of the new millennium found Cope2 in a different place in his career, as he started focusing more and more on ways to establish himself in the art scene of galleries and museums. Even though the artist had started working on canvas much earlier than the 2000s, it was then that he made this dynamic twist and agreed to exhibit indoors systematically. Whether you see graffiti as an expressive and lively form of art or as a form of irresponsible vandalism, one thing is certain; in recent years it has captured the attention of the general population to the world’s biggest galleries.

  • Employee of the Month Archival Print by Ben Frost

    Ben Frost Employee of the Month Archival Print by Ben Frost

    Employee of the Month Limited Edition Archival Pigment Fine Art Prints on Fine Art Paper by Graffiti Street Art and Pop Culture Artist Ben Frost. Ben Frost (b. 1975) Employee of the Month, 2014 Archival pigment print on Fine Art paper 17 x 17 inches (43.2 x 43.2 cm) (sheet) Ed. 28/65 Signed and numbered in pencil along the lower edge and published by 1xRUN, Detroit. Visual Dissection of Pop Culture "Employee of the Month" by Ben Frost is a limited edition archival pigment print that dissects and reassembles the fabric of pop culture within the context of street art and graffiti. This piece, created in 2014 and published by 1xRUN in Detroit, is a visually rich tapestry, infusing iconic imagery with subversive undertones characteristic of Frost's work. The print, measuring 17 x 17 inches, is a potent example of how street pop art and graffiti artwork can infiltrate the fine art world with its pulsating energy and color. Born in 1975, Frost has become known for his vibrant visuals that often incorporate elements from cartoons, advertising, and iconic brand imagery. "Employee of the Month" is no exception, featuring an amalgamation of figures from different realms of popular media. These images are not merely placed together but interwoven to create a narrative that speaks to the artist's and the viewer's shared cultural experiences. Subversion and Satire in Ben Frost's Art Frost's piece is a satirical nod to the recognition and rewards system prevalent in corporate culture, highlighted by the badge "Employee of the Month" amidst the chaotic backdrop of consumerist icons. The artwork delves into the themes of identity and recognition in a world saturated with branding and marketing messages. Each character and symbol is meticulously chosen to reflect the absurdity and sometimes the emptiness that can accompany the pursuit of accolades in a capitalist society. The print is signed and numbered by Frost, making each of the 65 editions a collectible piece of art. His signature not only authenticates the work but also marks it as an integral component of his artistic narrative, which often challenges the viewer to reconsider their relationship with the pervasive imagery of consumer culture. Interplay of Street Art and Archival Quality The use of archival pigment on fine art paper is a statement of the permanence Frost wishes to impart to his otherwise fleeting and ephemeral subject matter. While street art is often transient, the archival quality of these prints ensures that the vibrancy and message of the artwork endure. This duality mirrors street art and graffiti's short yet impactful nature – temporary in form but permanent in cultural impact. In summary, Ben Frost's "Employee of the Month" combines street art sensibilities and acceptable art practices, celebrating pop culture through a critical and often irreverent lens. This print stands as a testament to Frost's ability to create art that is both accessible and complex, offering a multifaceted critique of the world we navigate daily. Through his work, Frost continues to push the boundaries of street pop art and graffiti artwork, ensuring these genres' vital place within contemporary art discourse.

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.
