    Ben Frost Vampire USA Original Spray Paint Acrylic Painting by Ben Frost

    Vampire USA Company of Thieves Original Painting Spray Paint, Acrylic and Mixed Media On Wood Panel by Ben Frost Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2013 Signed Original Spray Paint & Acrylic Wood Cradled Ready To Hang Painting Artwork Size 24x32 Vampire USA by Ben Frost: A Bold Intersection of Culture and Critique Ben Frost's "Vampire USA" from the "Company of Thieves" series is a vivid example of modern pop art's seamless fusion with street sensibilities. The striking spray paint, acrylic, and mixed media composition on a wood panel embody the rebellious spirit that fuels much of contemporary street pop art and graffiti artwork. Created in 2013, this signed original artwork measures 24x32 inches and is cradled and ready to hang, offering a stark commentary on American culture through street art aesthetics. Australian artist Ben Frost is known for his visually arresting work that often repurposes the iconography of consumerism and popular culture to create new, challenging narratives. "Vampire USA" exemplifies Frost's approach, utilizing familiar symbols and subverting them to critique American society. The vampire motif layered over the stars and stripes of the American flag creates an immediate and unsettling juxtaposition. The vampire, traditionally a symbol of parasitism and predation, becomes an allegory for the darker aspects of the American dream, suggesting a nation that feeds off others or perhaps even itself. The intensity of the artwork is heightened by Frost's choice of medium and technique. The raw, visceral quality of spray paint, often associated with the underground graffiti scene, clashes with the precision of acrylics to create an anarchic and meticulous piece. This duality reflects the complex nature of American culture, where order and chaos often coexist. Decoding the Symbolism in "Vampire USA" In "Vampire USA," the flag is not just a backdrop but an integral part of the narrative. The stars and stripes become the vampire's skin, the fabric of its being, suggesting that the entity and the nation are inseparable. The use of red, white, and blue – colors that evoke feelings of patriotism – is transformed into a visual scream that challenges the viewer to reassess their understanding of national identity and values. The choice to paint on wood panels also contributes to the artwork's impact. The organic texture of wood grounds the piece in a tactile reality, in contrast to graffiti's ethereal and often ephemeral nature. It is a statement of permanence, an assertion that the questions and issues raised by the painting will not simply vanish with the morning light. "Vampire USA" is a powerful piece of street pop art that embodies the genre's ability to reflect and critique society. Ben Frost's work captures contemporary culture's zeitgeist, using the streets' language to engage with deeper themes of identity, consumption, and the American psyche. As the artwork hangs poised for display, it serves as a bold reminder of art's potential to confront, unsettle, and inspire dialogue.

    Denial- Daniel Bombardier Platinum Plus Silkscreen Print by Denial- Daniel Bombardier

    Platinum Plus Limited Edition 9-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2020 Signed Limited Edition of 80 Artwork Size 24x18 In 2000 he adopted the moniker ‘DENIAL’ as a means of poking fun at advertising, politics, and media messages that contemporary society is often ‘in denial’ about. Since then he has maintained an ongoing global street-campaign of over 500, 000 stickers, placards, and murals, using the alpha-numeric characters ‘D3N!@L’. Intended as a conceptual means of marketing absurdism, DENIAL also challenges traditional notions of graffiti and public art through his bold and often satirical visual subversions. Denial has evolved as one the most prominent figures of contemporary pop artists, who nonetheless, continue to stay relevant and is interested in generating thought-provoking commentary. He has a long history of exploring the boundaries of appropriation, which he uses as a means of subverting the value of cultural products, imprinted in the collective memory of the Western civilization. His work, in other words, is inviting the viewer to re-imagine our dystopian society as a way of confronting it, with humor and irony as the biggest tools of the artist.

  • Alternative Facts Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Alternative Facts Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Alternative Facts Hand-Pulled 4-Color Silkscreen Print on Speckletone Fine Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of XXX Artwork Size 24x24 " We are at a critical moment for the preservation of democracy and non-partisan access to voting for all citizens of voting age. Between the Supreme Court, partisan gerrymandering shaping state legislatures, and the filibuster as a tool of obstruction in Congress, we are already facing tyranny by the minority. The forces dominating our politics do not reflect the values of most Americans. My print, Alternative Facts, addresses the mass confusion about truth that allows the parties who spread the big lie about the 2020 election (and many other lies) fomented the January 6th insurrection and are engaged in voter suppression and other anti-democracy schemes, to flourish unchecked. A portion of proceeds from Alternative Facts will benefit the ACLU in its legal fights against voter suppression and other attacks on the constitution." -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey's work is highly political and social, not only because he is incorporating politicians and slogans in it but more importantly because the artist is primarily interested in approaching as many people as possible, exhibiting his work in the covers of the books, which we read, in the music albums, to which we listen, and on the walls of the streets, where we walk. “If I put art in a daring spot, it’s more moving to the viewer and demonstrates my conviction.”, he says. After all, Fairey, in many cases, directly expresses his views on politics and society, whenever he is given the chance. For example, in the aftermath of the “Hope” poster, he commented the following: “Obama has had a really tough time, but there have been a lot of things that he's compromised on that I never would have expected. I mean, drones and domestic spying are the last things I would have thought [he'd support]”. The political aspect of his work can, also, be seen under the spectrum of Fairey’s activism and humanitarian activity. Many of his works have been created as part of activism campaigns or were sold to support causes relevant to the Arts, animal rights, poverty, medical research, the environment, etc. The artist, however, doesn’t identify himself as an activist: “People ask me if I’m an activist, and my answer is no. I’m an artist with a point of view, but I want to do my part to supplement activist causes I believe in. I feel fortunate to connect with people who find my imagery useful and help spread it.”

  • Saboteur AP Silkscreen Print by Dave Kinsey

    Dave Kinsey Saboteur AP Silkscreen Print by Dave Kinsey

    Saboteur Limited Edition 3-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on 100% Cotton Rag Archival Paper by Dave Kinsey, Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. AP Artist Proof 2010 Signed & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x18  The Essence of Rebellion in Kinsey's Saboteur Dave Kinsey, a street artist who has made significant waves in modern pop art, presents a compelling piece in the form of the 'Saboteur' limited edition print. This three-color hand-pulled silkscreen print on 100% cotton rag archival paper reflects the essence of what street pop art and graffiti artwork stand for - a blend of aesthetic appeal and a strong message. Created in 2010, the 'Saboteur' is not only a visually striking piece but also one laden with symbolism and meaning. The 'Saboteur' showcases Kinsey's skill in using limited color palettes to create depth and narrative. The stark contrast of the orange background against the black-and-white imagery of the Statue of Liberty immediately captures the viewer's attention. The choice of the Statue of Liberty as the central figure is remarkably evocative, symbolizing freedom and the American spirit. However, Kinsey's portrayal is not one of patriotic triumph but rather a nuanced critique, perhaps a comment on the state of liberty in contemporary society. A Limited Edition Piece with a Timeless Message This artwork, marked as an Artist Proof (AP), signifies its status as part of a unique subset of prints often kept by the artist for personal use or sold as precious pieces to collectors. The print, sized at 24x18 inches, is significant not just for its size but for its exclusivity and the personal touch of the artist's signature. Collectors and admirers of Kinsey's work recognize the value of such a piece in terms of its aesthetic quality and its potential as an investment and a historical artifact. The 'Saboteur' is a testament to Kinsey's mastery of silkscreen printing, which requires precision and skill. The hand-pulled method employed by Kinsey ensures that each print is unique, with slight variations that make each piece one-of-a-kind. The use of 100% cotton rag archival paper speaks to the quality and durability of the print, designed to withstand the test of time without losing its color and integrity. The Impact of 'Saboteur' in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork In the broader context of street pop art and graffiti artwork, the 'Saboteur' stands out as a beacon of Kinsey's style and the political edge often found in this genre. Street art, known for its transient nature, is painted on walls and surfaces of the public domain. By transforming such a piece into a silkscreen print, Kinsey bridges the gap between street art's ephemeral nature and fine art's longevity. This piece allows the rebellious spirit of street art to enter homes and galleries, preserving its message and aesthetic for future generations. The 'Saboteur' is not just a piece of art; it's a conversation starter, a statement, and history. It encapsulates the turbulent emotions and the critical discourse of the time it was created, yet its message remains timeless. As a work of modern pop art, it embodies the cultural and political atmosphere of the early 21st century, reflecting the artist's perception of liberty and the societal structures that govern it. Dave Kinsey's Ongoing Legacy and 'Saboteur's' Place Within It The continuing legacy of Dave Kinsey as an influential figure in street pop art and graffiti artwork is further cemented by works like 'Saboteur.' He has consistently demonstrated an ability to convey powerful messages through his art; this print is no exception. As with many great works of street pop art, the 'Saboteur' challenges its viewers to think critically about the symbols and institutions they may otherwise take for granted. For collectors, enthusiasts, and students of street pop art and graffiti artwork, 'Saboteur' represents a pinnacle of Kinsey's artistic endeavors, encapsulating his message, medium, and method. Pieces like this ensure Kinsey's place in the annals of modern art is secure and revered. As time progresses, 'Saboteur' will continue to resonate and inspire, much like the enduring spirit of the street art movement from which it was born.

United States USA & America
The United States, colloquially referred to as America, has been an influential force in the art world, particularly in the realms of pop art, street art, and graffiti art. Over the years, these genres have evolved, serving as powerful tools of expression, protest, and commentary on American culture, values, and society. Pop art emerged in the United States during the mid to late 1950s. Rooted in the post-war consumer culture, it fundamentally challenged the established perceptions of high art by integrating elements from popular and mass culture. America, with its vibrant consumerism, celebrity culture, and burgeoning advertising industry, provided a fertile ground for pop art. Artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein became synonymous with the movement, using imagery from consumer goods, comic strips, and celebrity portraits. Warhol's Campbell Soup Cans or Marilyn Monroe portraits are iconic examples of how pop art encapsulated America's fascination with consumerism and celebrity culture. Meanwhile, street art and graffiti, once considered a form of vandalism, have morphed into significant artistic genres in America. These styles often reflect the socio-political climate of their time, offering unfiltered and raw glimpses into the realities of American society. During the 1970s and 1980s, graffiti became a prominent part of the New York City urban landscape. Artists like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat started their artistic journeys on subway cars and street walls, eventually gaining international recognition for their distinctive styles. Their works often tackled themes of social inequality, systemic racism, and political power structures, offering a critique of American society from the fringes. Street art and graffiti continue to evolve in the 21st century. With the advent of social media and digital platforms, street artists have found a broader audience and more extensive influence. Artists like Shepard Fairey, famous for his "Obey Giant" campaign and the iconic "Hope" poster during Barack Obama's presidential campaign, use their art to engage with political issues and societal discourses. These works not only beautify urban spaces but also stimulate dialogue and debate, reinforcing the role of art as a potent tool for social commentary and change. The artistic representation of America through pop art, street art, and graffiti is a testament to the country's cultural dynamism and diversity. These art forms provide a kaleidoscopic view of the nation, capturing its zeitgeist across different periods. They reflect the complexity of the American narrative, marked by both its achievements and its struggles. Through the lens of these art forms, America emerges as a vibrant canvas of cultural expression and societal critique, revealing the multi-layered nature of its identity. As these genres continue to evolve, they will undoubtedly continue to shape and be shaped by the rich tapestry of American life.
