Forbidden Forever HPM Acrylic Silkscreen Print by Faile Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2007 Signed & Numbered Acrylic HPM Embellished Limited Edition of 15 Artwork Size 17.9x24 Faile is a Brooklyn-based artistic collaboration between Patrick McNeil (born 1975) and Patrick Miller (born 1976). Initially founded in 1999, the duo is known for their wide-ranging multimedia practice, recognized for its explorations of duality through a fragmented style of appropriation and collage. Working in the vein of popular culture and frequently referencing mass consumerism, Faile's work encompasses a variety of materials and techniques, including painting, silkscreening, stencils, stickers, sculpture, and more. Their art has been exhibited in a wide array of contexts, from city walls and lamp posts to galleries and museums around the world, such as Perry Rubenstein Gallery, New York; Dallas Contemporary, Dallas; and Palais de Tokyo, Paris. The name "Faile" is an anagram of "A life", which signifies the duo's shared philosophy towards their work. They are known to embrace the dichotomies of art and popular culture, acknowledging the fluidity and ubiquity of imagery in the modern world. HPM, or Hand-Painted Multiples, is a term used to describe a specific method of silkscreen printing. In HPM silkscreen printing, each piece of an edition is individually embellished or altered by the artist, thereby making each print within the edition unique. This technique can often be seen in street art and other forms of contemporary art. Silkscreen printing, also known as screen printing, is a process that involves pushing ink through a stenciled mesh screen to create a printed design. It's a popular technique used in a variety of different industries, such as fine art, fashion, and marketing, due to its versatility in adapting to different materials and surfaces. Artists like Faile often utilize HPM silkscreen printing to create limited editions of their work. This method allows them to produce a series of pieces that maintain a consistent theme or image, but with individual variations that make each piece unique. This can range from changes in color, to additional elements, to hand-finishing details. This results in each print being not just a copy, but a unique work of art.

An Act of Faith HPM Acrylic Spray Paint Silkscreen Print by Faile Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2025 Signed & Numbered Spray Paint, Ink & Acrylic Paint HPM Embellished Limited Edition of 24 Artwork Size 25x38 An Act of Faith by Faile An Act of Faith is a hand-painted multiple silkscreen print created by the Street Pop Art collective Faile, executed in 2025 in a limited edition of 24. Each print measures 25 by 38 inches and is individually signed and numbered. The artwork is a hybrid visual tapestry constructed using silkscreen ink, spray paint, and acrylic hand embellishment on fine art paper. Its vivid imagery and comic-inspired text panels present a layered critique of media, gender identity, and the construct of self-perception. This piece continues Faile’s legacy of transforming vintage commercial design into complex visual puzzles that interrogate popular culture. Iconography and Satirical Power An Act of Faith presents an aesthetic rooted in mid-century pulp comics, twisted with modern irony and subversive commentary. The central image features a man gazing into a dressing room mirror, surrounded by fractured reflections of women, a wolf, and disembodied pop culture references. The phrase Who am I? I can’t tell which is the real Faile reinforces the identity distortion that plays across the surface. Each character is stylized with bold outlines, saturated color fields, and meticulous brushwork added post-screening, transforming the uniformity of the silkscreen process into a collection of unique variants. Faile, formed by Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller, began their collaborative work in the early 2000s in the United States. Their projects often use found iconography, commercial typography, and nostalgic aesthetics to challenge consumerism, masculinity, and mass production. This print extends that method through its satirical reference to mass media with phrases like Art That Respects Your Intelligence and The Most Puzzling Story You’ve Ever Seen. These slogans mimic vintage comic book advertisements but are reappropriated to critique visual culture. Print Process and HPM Technique An Act of Faith is printed using a traditional silkscreen process, a hallmark of Pop Art that channels the commercial reproduction techniques famously employed by artists like Andy Warhol. However, Faile distinguishes their method by employing HPM, or Hand-Painted Multiple techniques. Each piece is enhanced with layers of acrylic and spray paint after printing, resulting in a vibrant and textured finish. This process ensures that no two works are exactly alike, blurring the boundaries between print edition and painting. Cultural Commentary in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Faile’s work exists at the confluence of fine art, urban decay, and consumer critique. An Act of Faith takes the format of a comic book cover and reconstructs it into a statement about authenticity, perception, and mediated identity. It confronts viewers with the question of who controls the narrative of visual culture—artists, corporations, or consumers. With its blend of nostalgic aesthetics and street art grit, this piece exemplifies the crossover of graffiti’s rebellious roots and pop art’s accessible critique. As part of the 2025 limited series, it reflects the evolution of street pop art into museum-worthy dialogue, maintaining its roots in public disruption and cultural satire.
