  • Three-Piece Etching Aquatint Print by Zwy Milshtein

    Zwy Milshtein Three-Piece Etching Aquatint Print by Zwy Milshtein

    Three-Piece Etching Limited Edition Etching with Aquatint Print on Hand-Decorated Fine Art Paper by Zwy Milshtein is a pop art graffiti artist art. 1970 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition Etching Art Print. Artist: Zwy Milshtein Title: Three Piece Etching Medium: etching, with Aquatint Size: 21 x 30 inches Edition: Signed in pencil and marked 26/75 Zwy Milshtein: A Maestro of Etching and Aquatint Zwy Milshtein's artistic narrative is one of movement, not just across geographies but also through the evolution of his distinct style and technique. Born in 1934 in Kichinev, now known as Moldova, Milshtein's journey through the turbulence of World War II led him from Russia to Romania and eventually to Israel. However, in Paris, to which he moved in 1955, Milshtein found his enduring artistic home. Here, he became renowned as both a painter and a master engraver, celebrated for his etchings and engravings that capture the complexity of human experience. The Intertwining Paths of Engraving and Street Art The "Three-Piece Etching" by Milshtein is a testament to the craftsmanship and depth of engraving as an art form. Completed in 1970, this signed and numbered limited edition etching with aquatint, measuring 21 x 30 inches, is a fine example of Milshtein's adeptness with aquatint—a technique that allows for the creation of tonal effects, producing rich textures and a range of shades that lend a painterly quality to prints. This artwork, part of an exclusive series marked 26/75, is particularly notable for its abstract composition and the intriguing use of negative space, which engages the viewer in a visual dialogue reminiscent of contemporary street art and graffiti. Milshtein's Impact on Contemporary Art Milshtein's influence on the art world is well-documented through numerous exhibitions and retrospectives. His work was featured at ARC, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, and in 1978, the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris hosted a retrospective exhibition of his engravings. His artistic achievements include participation in the Hans Christian Andersen House project 1997, where he, along with other top European artists, paid tribute to the Danish author's bicentennial birthday. The aesthetic choices and technical skill displayed in works like "Three-Piece Etching" echo the visual strategies found in street pop art and graffiti. Milshtein's art, while distinct in its medium and execution, shares the spirit of innovation and subversion that is a hallmark of street art. His engravings invite the public to explore themes of identity, memory, and existence, much like street art and graffiti often do within the urban landscape. Zwy Milshtein's contributions to the world of engraving and his explorations in aquatint have secured his reputation as an artist of great skill and depth. "Three-Piece Etching" is a prime example of his ability to communicate complex ideas through printmaking. His legacy continues to inspire and influence artists within and beyond pop art, street art, and graffiti, affirming his artistry's enduring power and relevance.

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Warning: Addictive- Green Silkscreen Skateboard by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Warning: Addictive- Green Limited Edition Silkscreen Skateboard deck art by street pop culture artist Shepard Fairey OBEY. I've been a big fan of Andy Howell's art and skateboarding since the late '80s, and I watched eagerly as he and his partners launched New Deal Skateboards in 1990. New Deal was groundbreaking not only because skaters creatively led it, but because Andy Howell's art and design almost instantly shifted the aesthetics and style of skateboarding from skulls and dragons to graffiti and hip-hop. New Deal was the first company primarily focused on street skating and street culture, and their smart, funny, ads celebrated their role as the "power to the people," "ear to the street" vanguard of skater-owned-and-run companies. Straight out of the gate New Deal set the tone for the '90s. -Shepard 2020 Warning Addictive Skate Deck. Numbered edition of 400. Signed by Shepard Fairey.

  • Painter Girl Original Pen Collage Drawing by James Wilson

    James Wilson Painter Girl Original Pen Collage Drawing by James Wilson

    Painter Girl Original Pop Modern Street Art Ballpoint Pen and Collage Drawing on Fine Art Paper by Artist James Wilson. 2022 Signed Original Drawing. Ballpoint Pen, Cut Out Paper, Newspaper and Collage Size: 5.875 x 8.25 Inches Release: February 10, 2022 "The term 'Off the Grid' comes with a romanticized view of self-sustainability, getting back to nature and going back to 'a simpler time', this often neglects the forgotten trappings involved with stepping outside of your comfort zone. "This body of work can be seen as an aesthetic and thematic sequel to the previous 'Breakups and Breakdowns' collection where the idea of a broken relationship was the focus, it’s now been shifted to exploring new uncharted territory. Building on the pen on paper approach by physically cutting windows into the pieces takes them outside of the known and familiar into experimental and uncharted territory. "These works continue to look at escapism through different lenses whether it's a digital realm achieved by VR, the hopes poured into crypto, liquid courage found in alcohol or the distracting thrill gained by high risk environments, they all offer a reward but also contain their own risks. It’s through exploring outside the comforts of the safe and known without the usual safety nets where you find danger and risk, but the unknown is also where the most potential and growth can be found." –James Wilson

    Takashi Murakami TM/KK Skull Skateboard Art Deck by Vans x Takashi Murakami TM/KK

    Skull Skateboard Art Deck by Vans x Takashi Murakami TM/KK Limited Edition Archival Print on Wood Skateboard Deck by Street Artwork Graffiti Artist. 2015 Limited Edition Skateboard Art Deck Takashi Murakami, a highly esteemed Japanese contemporary artist, has played a significant role in propelling the popularization of pop, street, and graffiti art on a global scale. Known for his iconic style that melds Japanese traditional aesthetics with postmodern pop culture, he has brought to the forefront a fusion of high and low art forms, blurring boundaries and challenging traditional conceptions. One striking manifestation of Murakami's artistic prowess is his Skull Skateboard Deck Art. This piece is emblematic of his fascination with mortality, evoked through the stark, captivating skull imagery. Emblazoned across the surface of a skateboard deck, the design functions as a canvas that transcends the conventional gallery space, entering the realm of functional art. Murakami's Skull Skateboard Deck Art is more than a visual spectacle; it is an embodiment of the intersection of street and pop art. The medium of the skateboard deck acts as a symbol of street culture and youth rebellion, effectively associating itself with the ethos of graffiti art. The bold, playful representation of the skull, on the other hand, is rooted in pop art, using familiar, everyday imagery to evoke a profound, often overlooked theme of human mortality. Undeniably, Murakami's Skull Skateboard Deck Art stands as a testament to the dynamic evolution and expansion of contemporary art forms. By juxtaposing traditional symbols with contemporary mediums, it redefines the confines of art, allowing it to be accessible, functional, and yet still deeply philosophical. This piece is a shining example of Murakami's innovative style, a paradigm of pop, street, and graffiti art converging in an unexpected, compelling way.

In other words and, as he has stated in the past: “The less you fill your mind with the trappings of advertising and bad television, the more space you have in your brain for things of value”. At the same time, his take on modern pop culture is equally compelling. Mainstream media, advertisements, and politics can be identified as some of his main fields of interest, which he utilizes and mixes up in a controversial formation. The word controversial is not used incidentally. What Ben Frost’s art is doing is, essentially, the appropriation and weaponization of imagery against the same system that gave birth to it.

I hope this collaboration between Shepard and myself can raise awareness about the long history of anti-Asian hate and the important legacy of Vincent Chin whose untimely death in 1982 galvanised the people to demand Asian American civil rights. This current crucial moment in history calls for a gathering of momentum where Asian diaspora voices should go loud and proud. To stand together, advocate for change and collectively build bridges of understanding over glass ceilings and walls of hate. -Gordon Cheung

Diving deep into the world of modern pop and street art, one can't help but be captivated by the hand-painted creations of PREFAB77. The artist, known for blending unique graffiti techniques with elements of pop culture, has yet again introduced an exceptional piece titled “Heist Eyes”. This artwork is a brilliant amalgamation of stencil spray paint and silkscreen techniques, seamlessly marrying the two art forms. Set on a high-quality 300gsm Somerset Fine Art Paper, the “Heist Eyes” showcases a close-up of a woman's gaze, fierce and mysterious. The eyes, being the windows to the soul, are central in this artwork, perhaps symbolizing the depth and layers of our modern culture. What's unique about this particular piece is its intricate details. Not only does it present the intense gaze, but it also intricately intertwines elements of pop culture, serving both as a reflection of contemporary society and a warning of the fleeting nature of fame and recognition. This piece is not just any regular print; it's a hand-painted multiple (HPM). This means each piece, though part of a series, has its own unique touch. The utilization of seven distinct colors brings life to the print, and the luxurious layer of UV black ink against a hand-painted background only adds to its allure. With only 60 pieces in existence, each signed, stamped, and numbered, it truly is a testament to PREFAB77's dedication to craftsmanship and exclusivity. In the realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti art, such works emphasize the evolution of traditional art forms. They signify a move from the conventional to the contemporary, bringing in fresh perspectives while keeping rooted in authentic techniques. The “Heist Eyes” is not just a piece of art; it's a narrative of the times we live in, urging viewers to delve deeper, to look beyond the surface, and to interpret the myriad of stories it seeks to tell.

Some of us never have to think about how the police abuse their power more frequently in non-white and lower-income communities.

    People’s Discontent Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 24x18 Silkscreen Print of CHild Spray Painting Back of Bus With Graffiti "I teamed up with my good friend and documentary photographer, Martha Cooper, on a new print release called “People’s Discontent.” Martha Cooper has been photographing creative kids in action on city streets since the mid-1970s. I remixed one of Martha’s iconic photos from her book, Street Play, titled “Hitchhiking a Bus on Houston Street” that she shot in 1978 in the Lower East Side of New York City. There was no advertisement on the back of the bus in her original photo, and since disco was the rage in the late ’70s, I thought it made sense for me to add a disco radio station with the slogan, “Listen To The Sounds of People’s Disco.” I added the “DISCO-ntent” and the spraypaint can in the kid’s hand as if he sprayed that on there. It’s a nod to that era but also to what’s going on now with the unrest around social justice issues. This limited edition print was first released through Urban Nation Museum in Berlin as part of their current show “Martha Cooper: Taking Pictures” curated by Jaime Rojo and Steven P. Harrington of Brooklyn Street Art." -Shepard Fairey People’s Discontent Silkscreen Print is a powerful example of the intersection between pop art, street art, and graffiti art. Shepard Fairey, better known by his moniker 'OBEY,' collaborated with renowned documentary photographer Martha Cooper to create this piece, drawing inspiration from the vibrant street culture that emerged in New York City in the 1970s. This print showcases Fairey's creative remix of an iconic photo by Cooper, titled “Hitchhiking a Bus on Houston Street.” The print is an intricate hand-pulled silkscreen creation on cream Speckletone Fine Art paper. Fairey added his own touch to the original photograph by inserting a disco radio station advertisement and a spray paint can in the child's hand, evoking the rebellious spirit of graffiti art. The juxtaposition of the disco radio station and the defiant "DISCO-ntent" slogan signify the sociopolitical unrest of the period, with a particular nod to the burgeoning disco movement. Fairey, while staying true to his street art roots, successfully adds a layer of pop art through the use of vibrant, mass-culture imagery, capturing a transformative period in urban history. By contextualizing this piece within the larger narrative of social justice issues, Fairey's artwork exemplifies the power of pop and street art to comment on, challenge, and shape societal norms. This limited edition print of 550 is a part of Urban Nation Museum's exhibition “Martha Cooper: Taking Pictures," curated by Jaime Rojo and Steven P. Harrington of Brooklyn Street Art. People’s Discontent Silkscreen Print represents a fusion of artistic styles, functioning as both a snapshot of a moment in time and a commentary on social issues, making it a unique and coveted piece among collectors and enthusiasts.

His art is characterized by an undeniable graphical potency, with stark figures often depicted in tumultuous or sinister settings, reflecting the more sinister aspects of society. His monochromatic or highly contrasting color palettes often lend an additional edge to his imagery, reminiscent of the urban grit and unconventional spirit characteristic of street art. His background in skateboarding culture and his time spent as a street artist in Los Angeles has significantly influenced his artistic style, blending elements of pop art's attention-grabbing graphics with the anti-establishment undercurrents of street art. What's more, Cleon’s works often exhibit the use of repeated patterns and figures, a technique that can be seen as a nod to the mass-produced style of classic pop art. However, it is crucial to note that his focus on dark subjects and narrative-driven scenes diverges from traditional pop art, which often features more lighthearted or commercial imagery. Cleon Peterson’s works are not only visually striking but also function as social commentaries, addressing topics such as power struggles and human savagery, and establishing him as an important figure in contemporary art that straddles the domains of pop, street, and graffiti art.

His art is often seen as a mirror, reflecting the underlying aspects of society that many may find uncomfortable, but can't ignore, much like street art's function as an urban commentary. Peterson's art has not only adorned gallery walls, but has also found a home in public spaces and street corners worldwide. This adds to his reputation as a street artist, while his technique and skill have been able to bridge the gap between street art and traditional fine art.

AP Artist Proof 2022 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Woman Holding Large Lotus Flower. "The Obey Noir Flower Woman print is inspired by Art Deco design and Dark Wave album art. The image has a few avenues for interpretation. I primarily see it as a tribute to idealists who protect the environment, cultivate justice, and hold optimism close to their hearts. We all face challenges and hostilities, but exterior forces don't control our inner strength and idealism. We do! Idealism leads to action. Those who perpetrate injustice rely on apathy to get away with their misdeeds. Nurture your inner idealism, and your constructive actions will follow. A portion of the proceeds from this print will benefit Greenpeace to support its work to enhance environmental protections and combat climate change." -Shepard Fairey. Shepard Fairey's "Noir Flower Woman Red AP" is a testament to the harmonious blend of pop art and street art, with a unique nod to graffiti culture. With the hand-pulled silkscreen method on fine art paper, this 18x24 print captures a woman delicately holding a giant lotus flower. This captivating artwork, released as an Artist Proof in 2022, is not only a rare find due to its limited edition run but also because of the personal touch added by Fairey through his signature and the distinctive "AP" mark. At a glance, the "Obey Noir Flower Woman" appears to be heavily influenced by Art Deco elements and Dark Wave album art aesthetics. Yet, beneath its visual layers lies a profound message. Shepard Fairey draws inspiration from those idealists who remain committed to environmental protection, champion justice, and foster a deep-seated optimism, even in the face of adversity. His work argues that external challenges can never overshadow the radiant light of one's inner resilience and idealism. Rather than being passive spectators, Fairey calls upon individuals to harness their inner idealism, transforming it into actionable change. This sentiment reverberates even more when considering that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this print aids Greenpeace in its relentless battle against climate change and for enhanced environmental protections. This piece by Fairey isn't merely an artwork; it's an emblem that showcases the intersection of visual allure and impactful advocacy, a hallmark that distinguishes much of the art from the pop, street, and graffiti genres. As viewers immerse themselves in the intricate details of "Noir Flower Woman Blue AP," they are invited to reflect, respond, and act on the world around them.

He was born on November 11, 1966, in Garges-lès-Gonesse, France. Mr. Brainwash came to prominence through the 2010 Oscar-nominated documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop", which was directed by the renowned British street artist Banksy. Initially, Guetta began as a videographer who was interested in street art and decided to document the phenomenon. This endeavor led him to meet and film numerous street artists, including Shepard Fairey and Banksy. However, in a surprising twist, Banksy turned the camera on Guetta, encouraging him to become an artist himself. The result was Mr. Brainwash, a pop artist known for his large-scale productions and eclectic style, drawing heavily from pop culture references and the work of other street artists. His work often blends elements of pop art with the raw, edgy aesthetics of street art. Since his emergence, Mr. Brainwash has held numerous exhibitions and his work has gained significant attention in the art world, both for its bold, distinctive style and for the controversy surrounding his sudden rise to fame. He is known for his energetic and often humorous installations, sculptures, and stenciled artworks. Despite criticism from some quarters who view his work as derivative, Mr. Brainwash has continued to maintain a successful career in the contemporary art scene. Mother's Day is a celebration that honors mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in the months of March or May. The modern American holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. Anna Jarvis's mother, Ann Jarvis, had been a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War, and created Mother's Day Work Clubs to address public health issues. Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her mother by continuing the work she started and to set aside a day to honor all mothers because she believed that they were "the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world". In 1914, Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating Mother's Day, held on the second Sunday in May, as a national holiday to honor mothers. Since then, Mother's Day has become a day that children celebrate their mothers with cards, gifts, and activities. The holiday has been adopted by other countries and it's celebrated in different ways worldwide. For example, in the United Kingdom, it is traditionally known as Mothering Sunday and it's celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. In Mexico, it's always celebrated on May 10th, regardless of the day of the week. It's important to note that Mother's Day can bring different feelings for different people. While it's a joyous occasion for many, it can be a difficult day for those who have lost their mothers or who have strained relationships with them. It's also a day to honor and remember mothers who have passed away.

White Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

White in the Spectrum of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Manifestation of White in Urban Art

White, often perceived as a non-color or a blank canvas, asserts a distinctive power in street pop art and graffiti artwork. In a world where vibrancy and color saturation are prized, the use of white becomes a bold statement. It is the color that encompasses all others within its spectrum, yet it stands apart in its purity and simplicity. In street art, white is used not only to create contrast but also as a defining element that shapes the identity of a piece.

Artistic Techniques Highlighting White

Artists employ white through various techniques that underscore its significance. White can be sprayed, rolled, or brushed onto surfaces to carve out space, bring light, and create definition. It can highlight and accentuate, allowing the colors around it to pop and the darker tones to deepen. The texture of white paint is also crucial; a smooth, unblemished white surface reflects the most light, bringing a luminous quality to artworks, while a textured white can add depth and shadow, subtly altering the viewer's perception.

Symbolic and Cultural Dimensions of White

Symbolically, white is laden with cultural and emotional weight. It can represent peace, silence, nothingness, or everything. In the context of street pop art and graffiti, white often conveys a sense of beginnings, offering a straightforward visual rest amid urban chaos. It is the color of possibility and the backdrop against which the stories of the streets are told. In some cultures, white symbolizes purity and cleanliness, which in the context of street art can be an ironic commentary on the city's cleanliness or the purity of art itself.

White's Role in Composition and Visual Harmony

Compositionally, white acts as a balancer and a breather within artworks. It provides a resting point for the eye, a space for contemplation amidst the often overwhelming stimulus of street imagery. White's use in street pop art and graffiti can create a sense of order and harmony, giving other elements within the artwork the space to be seen and understood. It is the silence between the notes, the unsaid within the dialogue of urban expression.

The Evolving Use of White in Street and Pop Art

The use of white within street pop art and graffiti is continually evolving. As artists explore the boundaries of their medium, white is being reconsidered and recontextualized. It is becoming more than just a background or accent color—it is used to make statements about space, light, and structure within the urban landscape. The future of white in street art is bound to its ability to adapt to serve as a canvas for the new and the experimental. In the rich tapestry of street pop art and graffiti artwork, white is the thread that weaves through unnoticed but essential. It is the color that speaks softly yet carries a multitude of meanings and functions. Its presence is a testament to the artist's understanding of color theory and their ability to manipulate viewer perception through the masterful use of this most fundamental hue. White, in its serenity, remains a powerful force in the visual lexicon of urban art, echoing the ever-present theme of contrast and highlighting the essential nature of all colors within its range.
