Caledonia Curry Street Pop Art: Pigeon Feeding Family Brooklyn 2005 Giclee Print by Swoon Pigeon Feeding Family Brooklyn 2005 is a signed and numbered giclee print by American Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork icon Caledonia Curry, known globally under the name Swoon. Originally wheatpasted on a weathered Brooklyn wall, the work was photographed and transformed into a fine art edition, capturing the raw texture of the urban environment and the tenderness of everyday moments. Printed on heavy fine art rag paper, this piece measures 19 by 13 inches and was released in 2016 as part of a limited edition of 175. The work is part of the Swoon Street Series Print Collection, which immortalizes her ephemeral street interventions as collectible fine art. Swoon’s Human-Centered Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Caledonia Curry’s practice blends compassion and community with socially charged visuals. This giclee print documents a street paste-up of a family in a moment of simple care and connection, feeding pigeons against a hand-painted wall. The mother figure anchors the composition with calm resilience while the children appear in varying poses of curiosity and support. This is a recurring hallmark in Swoon's Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork — intimate portraits of humanity created through hand-carved linoleum blocks, paper cutouts, and site-specific installations. Each subject is rooted in real communities and stories, often reflecting Curry’s collaborative work with underserved populations across the globe. Brooklyn as a Canvas for Caledonia Curry’s Social Aesthetic During the early 2000s, the streets of Brooklyn served as an active surface for many emerging artists, and Caledonia Curry’s large-scale paste-ups gained particular recognition for their emotional detail and craftsmanship. The original installation of Pigeon Feeding Family was not merely decorative but deeply site-specific, activating the decaying wall with human presence. Swoon’s commitment to public art goes beyond aesthetics. It embodies a form of street-level storytelling that addresses displacement, economic hardship, and resilience. The scene rendered in this giclee print speaks to those themes by elevating a humble act — feeding pigeons — into a portrait of survival and grace amid hardship. Legacy and Preservation in the Swoon Street Series Print Collection The 2016 release of Pigeon Feeding Family Brooklyn 2005 as a signed and numbered giclee was part of a broader effort to archive Swoon’s disappearing wall pieces from the early stages of her career. The Street Series Print Collection allows collectors and institutions to preserve this pivotal period of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork that otherwise lives only in photographs or memory. Each print in the series is produced with precision to reflect the texture, color, and environmental context of the original installation. With Caledonia Curry’s growing impact in both the fine art world and social practice circles, works like this continue to hold value as artifacts of a moment where street art was both protest and poetry.

The subject appears both delicate and formidable, staring off into the distance as the marks of graffiti culture swirl around her. The print captures the original street piece’s juxtaposition between handmade beauty and the unpredictable conditions of outdoor walls, delivering a dialogue between the natural and constructed.

Kamayura Oaxaca 2013 Giclee Print by Swoon- Caledonia Curry Artwork Limited Edition Print on Heavy Fine Art Rag Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 175 Artwork Size 19x13 From The Swoon Street Series Print Collection. Kamayura Oaxaca 2013 Giclee Print by Swoon A Visual Archive of Human Dignity in Urban Space The Kamayura Oaxaca 2013 Giclee Print by Caledonia Curry, known globally as Swoon, is a powerful example of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork translated onto fine art paper. Created as part of Swoon’s Street Series Print Collection, the image captures one of her original wheatpaste street installations from Oaxaca, Mexico, depicting a striking female figure blending human and mythological attributes. This signed and numbered giclee print, released in 2016 in a limited edition of 175, measures 19 by 13 inches and is printed on heavy fine art rag paper. The artwork not only documents Swoon’s presence on walls across Latin America but also speaks to the symbolic relationship between community identity, resistance, and the ephemeral nature of street-based intervention. Stylistic Complexity and Symbolic Composition Kamayura Oaxaca 2013 reflects the intricate cut-paper aesthetics and humanitarian storytelling that define Swoon’s visual language. The figure in the image—part warrior, part mermaid—clutches twin crocodiles as scaled armor drapes over her legs. Radiating lines extend from her back like a halo, while beneath her figure is a tangled collage of snakes, architecture, and flora, all executed in precise linework. These motifs merge indigenous symbolism with modern urban decay, evoking themes of transformation, resilience, and the interconnectedness of natural and built environments. The bright yellow and deep red stucco wall behind the wheatpaste creates a dynamic color contrast, anchoring the image in its original street context while enhancing the mythic presence of the central figure. Caledonia Curry’s Global Street Narratives Swoon, born Caledonia Curry in the United States, has long been celebrated for her ability to blend classical printmaking techniques with the accessibility of street placement. Her work often features portraits of women, community figures, and allegorical representations that touch on social justice, environmental healing, and cultural storytelling. The Kamayura Oaxaca print aligns with her extensive practice of placing intricate paper cutouts directly onto decaying urban surfaces across the globe—from the walls of Brooklyn to the alleys of Haiti and Latin America. In Mexico, her work speaks directly to indigenous voices and post-colonial memory, reinforcing the role of graffiti as both an act of public beautification and political expression. The Importance of the Street Series Print Collection The Kamayura Oaxaca 2013 edition is part of the Street Series Print Collection, which serves as a tangible archive of Swoon’s ephemeral installations. Each print in the series offers collectors and admirers the opportunity to experience the artist’s street-based work in a preserved, gallery-worthy format. By transferring temporary outdoor works onto archival paper, the collection maintains the immediacy and raw power of street art while allowing it to endure beyond the natural wear of weather and urban development. This series also illustrates how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can transcend its original environment without losing its impact, narrative depth, or visual intensity.

Caledonia Curry Street Pop Art: Thalassa Braddock Pennsylvania 2012 Giclee Print by Swoon Thalassa Braddock Pennsylvania 2012 is a powerful giclee print by American artist Caledonia Curry, known professionally as Swoon, who has become one of the most influential voices in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. This piece, photographed from a monumental wheatpaste mural on the side of a deteriorating brick structure in Braddock, Pennsylvania, was published in 2016 as a signed and numbered limited edition of 175. Printed at 19 by 13 inches on heavy fine art rag paper, the work is part of the Swoon Street Series Print Collection, which archives site-specific interventions into collectible format while preserving the physicality and spirit of street installations. Swoon’s Thalassa as a Mythic and Political Presence The figure of Thalassa in this work is emblematic of Swoon’s practice, which often blends mythological allegory with real-world commentary. Depicted with sweeping lines, intricate textures, and a radiant, upward gaze, the character emerges from a fractured surface, embodying a goddess-like form of transformation and strength. Braddock, an industrial town in Pennsylvania with a history of economic hardship, was a location that aligned with Caledonia Curry’s socially motivated projects. Thalassa, in this context, became a symbol of both resurrection and environmental awareness. Originally created as a towering installation at the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Thalassa motif here gains new resonance as it merges with a wall bearing scars of abandonment, decay, and resilience. Braddock and the Social Context of Caledonia Curry’s Artwork Caledonia Curry has long incorporated socially engaged art into her practice, and her relationship with Braddock extended into community work beyond murals. This print documents one of those key visual moments, when art transforms space and injects new meaning into neglected structures. The building’s exposed brick and fading paint contrast with the lush energy of the figure, whose tentacle-like garments spiral downward, fusing classical visual language with the urgency of street culture. The piece also includes red screenprinted motifs filling the window spaces, reinforcing the layered, handmade aesthetic that characterizes Swoon's Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. These environmental and compositional decisions offer a holistic look at the way Curry reinvents urban environments into canvases for visual storytelling. Swoon Street Series Print Collection and the Preservation of Ephemeral Works The 2016 giclee edition of Thalassa Braddock Pennsylvania offers collectors a chance to preserve a fleeting piece of public art history. Part of the Swoon Street Series Print Collection, this print represents a critical era when Curry’s wheatpastes across cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Braddock gained international recognition for their ability to fuse craft, compassion, and political awareness. Printed with exceptional color fidelity and detail, this limited edition honors the original site while expanding access to those who connect with her work beyond the street. Caledonia Curry continues to influence not only the visual vocabulary of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork but also the role of artists in shaping meaningful social discourse.

Medusa Archival Print by Swoon- Caledonia Curry  Limited Edition on 250gsm Hahnemühle Fine Art Paper Pop Graffiti Street Artist Modern Artwork. 2024 Signed & Numbered Print Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 13x19 Archival Pigment Fine Art  “Medusa. I’ve always loved her. Before I knew much about her, I instinctively relished her as one of the few lasting representations of female power. But like any lasting symbol her story is complex. Violation, rage, and finally the Pegasus being born out of her decapitated neck. Her name comes from the Ancient Greek word for protector. Even in death something triumphant in her arises.” - Swoon Medusa by Caledonia Curry Swoon Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The 2024 limited edition Medusa archival print by Caledonia Curry, known globally under the artist name Swoon, stands as a commanding statement in the evolution of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Rendered on 250gsm Hahnemühle fine art paper, this 13x19 inch piece exemplifies Swoon’s ability to bring mythological, emotional, and sociopolitical narratives into a contemporary visual framework. Signed and numbered in an edition of only 50, this artwork captures both the hand-touched intimacy of Swoon's paper cut-out legacy and the permanence of museum-quality archival pigment printing. Medusa, long a symbol of feminine power and transformation, is not only visually stunning but layered with historical meaning and modern reinterpretation through Swoon’s lens. Symbolism and Form in Swoon’s Medusa The figure of Medusa, classically known from Greek mythology, takes on a new dimension through Swoon’s intricate linework and multi-layered design. The piece fuses illustrative portraiture with a swirling ecosystem of botanical, animalistic, and organic forms that seem to emerge from the face itself. There is a visual transition from solidity to abstraction that mimics metamorphosis. The hybrid elements—snakes, feathers, and anatomical structures—serve not only as decorative complexity but as conceptual nodes, referencing violation, resistance, and regeneration. This version of Medusa is neither monstrous nor victimized but sculpted into a protector figure recontextualized for the modern street art audience. The original art’s composition, pasted on a weathered wooden door, is translated faithfully in the print, preserving the raw texture and emotional weight of the original. Swoon’s Narrative Approach to Street Pop Art Caledonia Curry, based in the United States, is one of the most respected and pioneering voices in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Her practice uniquely blends traditional printmaking techniques with public art and site-specific installations. The Medusa piece aligns with Swoon's longstanding commitment to exploring the roles of women, trauma, ancestry, and healing in public spaces. Unlike conventional graffiti rooted in letterform and tagging, Swoon’s work carries a narrative depth rarely found in urban art. Her choice of subjects often reflects underrepresented voices and ancient iconographies reborn through the language of modern activism. In Medusa, Swoon reconnects ancient mythology to contemporary discourse on agency, survival, and artistic defiance. Collectible Art in the Evolution of Graffiti-Based Printmaking This print release contributes to the growing recognition of graffiti-based work within collectible fine art. Swoon has long advocated for creating affordable art editions that maintain authenticity while reaching a wider audience. The Medusa archival pigment print not only affirms her relevance within contemporary art circles but also serves as an educational artifact, inviting viewers to understand graffiti and street art not as vandalism but as a complex and evolving cultural force. As a limited edition from 2024, it bridges the world of ephemeral wheatpastes and walls with the permanence of high-end paper-based work, establishing itself as a cornerstone within Swoon's expanding canon.

This synergy between subject and environment reflects one of the core themes in Curry’s body of work: honoring human dignity amid the chaos of urban life.
