TGIF V 20 Archival Print by Dave Pollot Limited Edition on PH Neutral 17mil Canvas Pop Graffiti Street Art Artist Modern Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Print Limited Edition of 57 Artwork Size 16x20 Archival Pigment Fine Art on Canvas of the Jason from Horror Movie Friday the 13th in a Swamp TGIF V 20: Archival Print by Dave Pollot The TGIF V 20 archival print by Dave Pollot, released in 2023, represents a unique fusion of pop culture references, fine art techniques, and street pop art sensibilities. This limited edition artwork, signed and numbered by Pollot, is part of a series of just 57 prints. It is a 16x20 inch archival pigment print on pH-neutral 17mil canvas, which ensures its longevity and resistance to fading over time. The piece features the iconic character Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th horror movie franchise, depicted in a serene, almost pastoral swamp scene, blending the worlds of horror cinema and classical landscape painting. Pop Culture Meets Fine Art in TGIF V 20 Dave Pollot is known for his clever reimagining of traditional art, often incorporating pop culture icons and elements of contemporary media into classical or idyllic settings. TGIF V 20 is a prime example of this approach, as Pollot combines the menacing figure of Jason Voorhees with a tranquil countryside landscape. In this print, Jason stands ominously in a swamp, his iconic hockey mask reflecting the light of a distant sunset, as a small cottage nestles in the background, seemingly oblivious to the terror lurking nearby. Pollot's ability to juxtapose these two worlds — the horror of Friday the 13th and the peace of an idyllic countryside — creates a sense of unease and dark humor. The viewer is left to contemplate the absurdity of Jason, a figure of violence and fear, calmly existing in such a serene environment. This playful contradiction is a hallmark of street pop art, where familiar symbols are recontextualized in surprising and often ironic ways. By placing Jason in this unexpected setting, Pollot challenges our perceptions of the character and the setting, encouraging us to see them in a new light. The Influence of Graffiti and Street Pop Art Pollot's work, while rooted in traditional fine art techniques, is heavily influenced by the aesthetics and ethos of street pop art and graffiti. Street pop art is known for its bold use of color, incorporation of popular culture, and ability to challenge the boundaries between high and low art. In TGIF V 20, Pollot brings these elements together, using Jason as a mass culture symbol to disrupt classical landscape painting conventions. The texture and richness of the canvas, along with the vibrant yet balanced color palette, add to the visual impact of the piece. The scene, which might otherwise resemble a typical 19th-century landscape, is transformed by Jason's presence. The influence of graffiti and street art can be seen in how Pollot brings a sense of the urban and contemporary into the traditional. Jason, a figure from 1980s horror, becomes a modern-day interloper in a timeless setting, much like graffiti often disrupts the urban environment's aesthetic by introducing new, frequently controversial elements. Moreover, this print's hand-numbered, limited edition nature emphasizes the individuality and exclusivity often associated with street art, much like graffiti artists who mark their work with a signature or tag, Pollot signs, and numbers each print, ensuring that no two pieces are identical. This also ties into the street art philosophy of art being both public and personal, accessible yet unique. The Contrast of Horror and Pastoral Beauty At the heart of TGIF V 20 is the stark contrast between the horror genre and the peacefulness of the natural landscape. Jason, typically seen stalking victims through dark forests or deserted campsites, is instead placed in a setting that evokes warmth and nostalgia. The cottage in the background, illuminated by the soft glow of the setting sun, creates a comforting atmosphere that directly opposes the violent imagery often associated with Jason. This juxtaposition heightens the sense of unease as the viewer wonders how such a figure could belong in such a tranquil place. The piece's title, TGIF V 20, also plays into this contrast. While Friday the 13th is synonymous with bad luck and horror, the phrase "TGIF" typically conveys a sense of relief and the anticipation of a relaxing weekend. Pollot uses this duality to blur further the lines between fear and comfort, humor and horror. This layering of meaning is characteristic of street pop art, where multiple interpretations can coexist, and the viewer is encouraged to engage with the work on different levels. Pollot's decision to depict Jason in a swamp, as opposed to a more conventional horror setting, adds another layer of complexity to the piece. Swamps are often associated with decay, mystery, and hidden dangers, making them an ideal setting for Jason's brooding figure. At the same time, the way Pollot renders the scene — with soft brushstrokes, warm tones, and an overall sense of calm — makes the swamp appear almost inviting. This tension between beauty and menace is central to the appeal of the artwork, as it invites the viewer to question what lies beneath the surface. Dave Pollot's Modern Approach to Art and Pop Culture Dave Pollot's approach to art is rooted in the blending of high art and pop culture, a technique that has become a defining feature of modern street pop art. Pollot's background in classical painting techniques allows him to execute his works with precision. At the same time, his incorporation of familiar cultural icons adds a layer of accessibility and relevance to contemporary audiences. TGIF V 20 continues this tradition, as Pollot brings the world of horror movies into the refined setting of landscape painting. As a symbol of fear and violence, Jason Voorhees becomes a part of the natural world in Pollot's hands, suggesting that even the most terrifying aspects of our imagination have a place in the broader cultural landscape. By placing Jason in such a serene and picturesque setting, Pollot forces us to reconsider what we find beautiful and frightening. This merging of worlds is central to street pop art, where the familiar and the unexpected come together to create something entirely new. TGIF V 20 by Dave Pollot is a powerful example of how modern street pop art can challenge and expand our understanding of art and popular culture. Through his use of humor, contrast, and finely honed artistic technique, Pollot creates a visually striking and thought-provoking work, offering a fresh perspective on a familiar figure from horror cinema.

Vicissitudes Ring Digital C Giclee Print by Jason DeCaires Artwork Limited Edition Print on Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2012 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 26x20 Jason DeCaires Taylor's "Vicissitudes Ring" and Its Resonance in Art The "Vicissitudes Ring" digital C Giclee Print by Jason DeCaires Taylor is a limited edition artwork that captures the essence of his pioneering underwater sculpture. Created in 2012, this piece is part of a limited edition of 50 signed and numbered prints, each measuring 26x20 inches. The artwork represents DeCaires Taylor's iconic underwater installation "Vicissitudes," which features a circle of figures holding hands, located off the coast of Grenada in the West Indies. This particular work significantly contributes to the canon of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork despite its primary existence beneath the waves. It bridges the gap between the traditional understanding of street art and the innovative realm of environmental sculpture. The ring of figures is suggestive of continuity and community, themes that are deeply ingrained in street art culture. The circular arrangement of life-sized figures evokes a sense of unity and solidarity, resonating with the collective spirit of street art and human resilience. The choice of digital C Giclee print for "Vicissitudes Ring" signifies a confluence of technology and art, ensuring the durability and color fidelity of the piece and making it a precious collectible for art enthusiasts. The Giclee process, known for its high-quality reproduction of artworks, perfectly encapsulates the hues and shadows of the original underwater sculptures, providing an on-land experience of Taylor's submerged art. The Cultural Impact of "Vicissitudes Ring" in Contemporary Art Jason DeCaires Taylor's "Vicissitudes Ring" transcends the confines of conventional street art, offering an immersive, contemplative, and profound experience. The figures in the ring, cast from children of diverse ethnic backgrounds, represent the passage of time and the changes (or 'vicissitudes') that come with it. The artwork, therefore, becomes a powerful commentary on the interconnectedness of human life and the universal experiences that bind people together across cultural divides. The installation from which this print is derived is located underwater and is subject to the natural processes of the sea. As such, it is in constant flux, with marine life gradually becoming an integral part of the sculptures. This concept of change and transformation is inherent to the nature of street art, which is often temporary and subject to the elements and the evolving urban landscape. "Vicissitudes Ring" serves as a metaphor for the dynamism of street and pop art, highlighting the ever-changing context of public art and its ability to adapt and evolve. The limited edition nature of this print, alongside its signature and numbering, adds an exclusive aspect to the ownership of this piece, much like the rarefied experience of stumbling upon a fleeting work of street art before it disappears or is transformed. Collectors of "Vicissitudes Ring" are thus privy to a moment captured in time, a snapshot of Taylor's evolving underwater gallery. Exploring the Blurred Lines Between Street Art and Environmental Sculpture "Vicissitudes Ring" exemplifies the blurred lines between street art, pop art, and environmental sculpture. While the original work is not painted on an urban wall or created through spray cans, it shares the spirit of street and pop art through its accessibility, public placement, and the way it engages with its environment. Just as street art becomes part of the urban fabric, "Vicissitudes" becomes part of the oceanic ecosystem, challenging where art can exist and thrive. The installation and its photographic representation in the Giclee print also speak to the temporality and permanence of art. While the print captures a moment in time, the actual installation is subject to relentless transformation by natural forces, much like graffiti that ages and is altered by the urban environment. In this way, "Vicissitudes Ring" reflects the ethos of street art, where the act of creation is as significant as the art itself and where the artwork's existence in a state of change is a form of expression. Jason DeCaires Taylor's "Vicissitudes Ring" is a profound piece that extends the conversation of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork into new territories. It challenges the viewer to consider the role of the environment in art, the power of community, and the transient yet enduring nature of human expression. As a limited edition print, it captures the beauty and complexity of Taylor's underwater sculpture. It serves as a vessel for the messages of environmental awareness and cultural connectivity at the heart of Taylor's artistic philosophy.
