Curser Original Hand-Painted Multiple (HPM) Aerosol with Clear Coat Finish on Laser Cut Wood ready to hang by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2019 Signed & Numbered Aerosol with Clear Coat Finish on Laser Cut Wood Size: 5.5 x 7 x 1 Inches Release: August 14, 2019 Run of 100 "I like to think of myself as an activist in pop art. How I relate with cartoons and graphics is much easier than with photo-realistic stuff. I love referencing things that people are so familiar with. With humor and nostalgia, you can open up communication. I've done that for years and used elements of humor and familiarity to open a dialogue because then you can slide in some real issues and different things you're trying to convey in your work. You have a lot more open stream to the person's consciousness and experience towards how they're taking your art. If you can get them to laugh at it, remember something or relate to some image." -Denial- Daniel Bombardier The Innovative Intersection of Technology and Art in Denial's "Curser" In the dynamic and ever-evolving world of modern pop art, "Curser," a hand-painted multiple (HPM) by the renowned graffiti street artist Denial, stands out as a remarkable piece that encapsulates the spirit of contemporary street pop art and graffiti artwork. Denial, whose real name is Daniel Bombardier, has been a prominent figure in the art world, known for his activist approach and incorporation of pop culture elements into his works. The "Curser" HPM, released on August 14, 2019, is a limited edition series of 100, each piece bearing the artist's unique touch with aerosol paint and a clear coat finish on laser-cut wood. This artwork, measuring 5.5 x 7 x 1 inches, is a visual play on the familiar digital cursor, a ubiquitous digital symbol in the digital age. Denial transforms this everyday icon into a standalone piece of art that challenges viewers to reconsider the symbols that permeate our daily lives—using laser-cut wood as a medium is a nod to the precision and crispness of digital graphics. At the same time, the hand-painted aerosol technique infuses the work with the authenticity and raw appeal of street art. Denial's Artistic Philosophy and Its Reflection in "Curser" Denial's philosophy of using humor and nostalgia to engage audiences is vividly reflected in "Curser." By recontextualizing a digital pointer into a tangible, hand-crafted object, the artist bridges the gap between the virtual and the physical, the ephemeral and the permanent. Denial believes in the power of pop art to initiate dialogue, a belief that is evident in how "Curser" resonates with a broad audience. The familiar shape of the cursor, combined with the unexpected medium and manual intervention, becomes a conversation starter, prompting discussions about the impact of technology on art and society. The clear coat finish on "Curser" gives the artwork a modern sheen, reminiscent of the glossy interfaces of smartphones and computers, thus further blurring the lines between traditional graffiti art and contemporary digital aesthetics. This piece is not merely an artwork but a statement on the convergence of our digital experiences with the physical world. Denial's work exemplifies the evolving nature of street pop art, where traditional techniques merge with modern-day themes to create a new form of cultural expression. Collectibility and Cultural Impact of Denial's "Curser" As a collectible, "Curser" holds a special place in street pop art. Its limited run and the individual hand embellishments by Denial make each piece in the series unique, coveted by collectors who value the intersection of street art sensibilities with pop culture commentary. Denial's work, particularly "Curser," is a testament to the growing appreciation for graffiti art as a medium that can entertain and provoke thought. The cultural impact of "Curser" is amplified by its accessibility and relatability. Denial's approachable art invites viewers to reflect on the interplay between their digital habits and the tangible world, an increasingly relevant theme in our tech-driven society. The artwork serves as a reminder of the pervasive nature of digital symbols in our lives and the importance of questioning and exploring these elements through art. "Curser" is a prime example of how contemporary street artists like Denial push the boundaries of what street pop art and graffiti artwork can represent. The piece embodies the transformative potential of art to adapt and respond to the changing landscape of cultural symbols and societal issues. Denial's ability to infuse his work with wit and a sense of familiarity allows for a deeper engagement with his audience, making "Curser" a visually striking piece and a meaningful commentary on our times.

Finally, I have done it! They are all painted by me, too; the light pink background and the black on the sides have all been painted by me. The colors on a silkscreen edition are always much brighter." -Buff Monster Buff Monster, a New York-based street artist renowned for his vibrant and whimsical work in modern pop art and graffiti, presents "Enamored Die-Cut Wood- Pink." This limited edition artwork, part of a series of 45, is a testament to Buff Monster's commitment to innovation and craftsmanship in street pop art. Each piece, sized 14.5 x 13.5 inches, is meticulously crafted on laser-cut wood panels, primed for display without additional framing. The artwork features Buff Monster's signature motif: the melting Mister Melty character, often associated with joy, love, and the steadfast passage of time. The character's singular eye and the heart motif are done in a striking pink colorway, a hue recurrent in Buff Monster's work, symbolizing optimism and vitality. This particular edition is further enhanced by Buff Monster's hand, with the light pink background and the black sides personally painted by the artist, adding a layer of intimacy and authenticity to each print. As with traditional silkscreen prints, "Enamored Die-Cut Wood- Pink" colors are vivid and saturated, displaying Buff Monster's preference for bright, eye-catching palettes that bring his characters to life. The die-cut wood medium adds a sculptural dimension to the piece, offering a tactile experience that differs from two-dimensional prints. This multi-dimensional quality reflects the dynamism of street pop art, which often interacts with its environment unexpectedly. Buff Monster's creation is more than a mere decorative piece; it's a slice of street culture, a manifestation of the artist's influences drawn from Japanese culture, classic graffiti, and American cartoon aesthetics. The "Enamored Die-Cut Wood- Pink" edition represents a marriage of these inspirations, encapsulating the playful and irreverent spirit that defines Buff Monster's artistic practice and the broader street pop art movement. This work is a colorful ode to the melting wonders of life, love, and the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and provoke thought.

20TwentyMinutes #10 Original Hand-Painted Acrylic on Laser Cut Birch Wood ready to hang by HoxxoH Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "'Time waits for no man' has long been the catalyst that has propelled man to make use of his conscious existence. Time is an observable quantity created by man to keep track of the motions of our mysterious Universe. Yet now, perhaps more than ever does man seek to use time to alleviate the pressures of an unexplainable existence through applications that measure and calculate the value of our time.Posts and likes on social networks, the stock market’s peaks and falls, little monitors in our hands, monitoring us, always counting, ticking up and down, drowning us in sensory overload. Making us believe that time can be tracked and controlled in a convenient algorithm. Disguising time in programs meant to objectify and symbolize our presence as a glorified status amongst the cosmos." by Andrew Leshin

Lately, I have transitioned mostly into mixed media paintings, but I've been doing hardcore graffiti, if you want to call it that, for thirty-plus years. It's what made me Cope2. But I like to change it up and show all my different styles. So, with this show, I can show my style evolution and how I've progressed. "Versatile" shows where I came from and what I'm doing now," Cope2 said from his studio in New York. -Cope2 The Evolution of Cope2 in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Within the pantheon of street pop art and graffiti artwork, Cope2 stands as a figure of significant importance, a name synonymous with the gritty roots and dynamic evolution of the genre. The "Detroit Series 25 Original Painting" is a testament to the artist's journey through the ever-changing landscape of urban art. This 2010 signed and titled original piece, measuring 24x16 inches, fuses spray paint, acrylic paint, and mixed media on a cradled wood panel, embodying the essence of what Cope2 has termed as 'hardcore graffiti.' Yet, it does more than that. It showcases a readiness to hang graffiti artwork that pulsates with the energy of bubble letters, a signature style that has made Cope2 a celebrated figure in modern pop art. This piece is not simply a static work of art; it narrates the story of Cope2's artistic evolution. Having spent over three decades dedicated to the craft of graffiti, Cope2 has earned recognition not just for his adherence to the raw foundations of graffiti but also for his adaptability and his embrace of mixed media approaches. The "Detroit Series 25" reflects this transition, showcasing how the artist has progressed from the streets to the studio, from the brief to the enduring. Cope2's Artistic Journey and Influence on Modern Art In the artist's words, Cope2 has described his artistic journey as one marked by versatility and evolution. The shift from exclusively employing spray paint to a multifaceted array of mediums signals a broader trend within street art's integration into the fine art world. The "Detroit Series 25" is emblematic of this shift, combining traditional graffiti techniques with the tactile nature of acrylics and the solidity of wood as a canvas. This fusion reflects a sophisticated approach to street-inspired art, blurring the boundaries between an underground subculture and the polished gallery scene. Cope2's work, particularly in the "Detroit Series," can be seen as a cultural chronicle, documenting the rise of street art from subversive beginnings to mainstream acclaim. His pieces are imbued with the spirit of New York's urban landscape, the birthplace of contemporary graffiti, yet they speak to audiences far beyond the city's confines. Through his work, Cope2 has captured the visceral thrill of graffiti, the bold colors, the daring contours, and the unapologetic self-expression, all while translating it into a format that commands respect within the contemporary art sphere. Reflecting Social Narratives through Graffiti Artwork Cope2's "Detroit Series 25" is more than an aesthetic endeavor; it is a social statement, capturing the zeitgeist of its era. His art does not exist in a vacuum but as a vibrant commentary on the environment from which it springs. The artwork tells the story of transition, not just for the artist but for the medium of graffiti itself. Once relegated to the fringes of the art world, considered an act of vandalism, graffiti has been recontextualized through works like those of Cope2. These pieces reflect the changing narratives around street art, elevating it to a form of street pop art that mirrors society's evolving attitudes towards public space, ownership, and artistic liberty. The legacy of Cope2's "Detroit Series 25" lies in its ability to capture the imagination of a diverse audience, bringing the raw, unfiltered voice of the streets into the sanctified spaces of art galleries. It embodies the spirit of resilience and adaptability, allowing graffiti to endure and flourish despite often hostile societal perceptions. The artwork stands as a vibrant testament to the power of street pop art and graffiti artwork to transcend their origins, influencing and reshaping the modern art scene in profound ways. In contemplating the impact of the "Detroit Series 25," it becomes clear that Cope2's influence extends beyond the visual. His work, with its vivid imagery and poignant use of mixed media, underscores the potential of graffiti to act as a catalyst for dialogue and reflection. It is a powerful demonstration of the artist's ability to evolve while remaining true to the core tenets of his craft, ensuring that his work remains relevant and resonant in the fast-paced world of modern art. Through his creations, Cope2 has shown where he came from and what he is doing now, marking his indelible imprint on the fabric of street pop art and graffiti artwork.

Psychedelic Spiral- 01 Original Hand-Painted Multiple Spray Paint, Ink Mixed Media on Laser Cut Wood Panel ready to hang by Tavar Zawacki (Above) Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "The Psychedelic series were made in conjunction with my recent solo exhibition Remix. All of the Psychedelic series was designed with an emphasis on a sharp visual contrast. It's similar to 'Op-art' (Optical Art) which makes your eyes trip out. It's an effect that alters your perception as if you were on Psychedelic drugs. Some of the Psychedelic designs I made were featured in Remix, and some of them I created specifically for this series. This particular 'Sunset Strip' design I made with more complexity for my solo exhibition Remix. The Remix exhibition was about interchanging and swapping different cut patterns of the same design, in different colors to achieve the final piece. The Psychedelic series achieves a similar effect but in a more basic style of blocking out colors and allowing the negative space to reveal itself." - Above

Original Hand-Painted Multiple Mixed Media Spray Paint Artwork on Laser Cut Wood Panel ready to hang by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2020 Signed Limited HPM Edition of 10 Artwork Size 13.5x11.5 "My work speaks of impending doom and many crass, sinister themes, but that should not mean I want this to happen. I hope my work would suggest only the opposite: to show the ridiculousness of it all and how we may find better solutions for the future." -Denial Denial's "Look Busy The Boss is Coming..." as a Commentary in Street Pop Art "Look Busy The Boss is Coming..." is a striking piece of modern pop art by the graffiti street artist known as Denial, a pseudonym for the Canadian artist Daniel Bombardier. His 2020 creation is a signed, limited hand-painted multiple (HPM) edition of only ten pieces, each with dimensions of 13.5x11.5 inches. This mixed media spray paint artwork on a laser-cut wood panel is a ready-to-hang piece that encapsulates the humor, irony, and critical commentary that street pop art and graffiti artwork are known for. Denial's work is often lauded for its vibrant use of color, layered meanings, and thought-provoking content that challenges societal norms and behaviors. In "Look Busy The Boss is Coming...", Denial uses laser-cut wood panels to bring a three-dimensional quality to the work, emphasizing the text's impact and the message's urgency. The layered text, with its bold letters popping against the dark background, creates an illusion of depth, while the cartoonish eyes add a playful yet satirical element to the piece. Denial's signature style, which often includes a combination of text and image, invites the viewer to engage with the artwork on multiple levels. Exploring the Layers of Meaning in Denial's Artistic Expression Denial's artistic expression in "Look Busy The Boss is Coming..." is multifaceted, reflecting the complexities of the human condition and the often-absurd workplace reality. The phrase "Look Busy" is a satirical take on the performative aspect of productivity in modern society, where appearances can sometimes outweigh actual efficiency or contribution. The addition of the watchful, exaggerated eyes serves to underscore the constant surveillance and pressure employees feel in the professional environment. This piece speaks volumes about the current state of work culture, where the fear of authority and the need to appear perpetually occupied can overshadow the value of genuine work. The statement made by Denial through this artwork echoes his broader perspective on life and society. As the artist himself has noted, his work addresses severe and, at times, sinister themes through a lens of absurdity and satire. The goal is not to promote a bleak outlook but to use humor as a tool for reflection and, ideally, to inspire conversations that lead to better solutions for societal issues. The whimsical yet incisive nature of "Look Busy The Boss is Coming..." exemplifies this approach, as it holds up a mirror to the audience, prompting them to question and perhaps laugh at the absurdities of their daily routines. Impact and Reception of Denial's Street Pop Art The impact of Denial's "Look Busy The Boss is Coming..." is significant in the street pop art community and among art collectors. As a limited edition piece, its value lies in its scarcity and potent commentary wrapped in an aesthetically pleasing package. The work resonates with a broad audience due to its relatable content and accessible presentation. Denial's ability to distill complex social critiques into visually engaging street pop art makes his pieces sought after by both seasoned collectors and new enthusiasts alike. Denial's work, including "Look Busy The Boss is Coming...," contributes to the ongoing dialogue about the intersections between street art, pop culture, and social commentary. His unique voice in art has garnered attention and respect, illustrating how street pop art and graffiti artwork can transcend traditional boundaries and enter meaningful discourse with a broader public. Through his creations, Denial continues to challenge perceptions, provoke thought, and offer new perspectives on the world we navigate daily.

Natural Scuffing Lower Right; Residue Lower Right Inherent To The Medium & Media Used. Mr Doodle- Sam Cox's Unique Artistic Language In the dynamic world of pop art and street art, artists like Mr. Doodle, also known as Sam Cox, have carved out a niche with distinctive styles that blur the lines between art, doodling, and graffiti. Mr Doodle's "Caravan Chaos Side 4 Panel 11" is an original work that exemplifies this fusion, showcasing a unique visual language that is playful and meticulously detailed. This one-of-a-kind spray paint painting on an aluminum panel mounted on plywood stands out as a testament to the artist's skill and originality. Spray-painting directly onto an aluminum surface, Mr Doodle's "Caravan Chaos Side 4 Panel 11" is part of a larger body of work that portrays a chaotic yet harmonious world filled with interlocking characters and symbols. Measuring 17.25 by 13.5 inches, this artwork is a vibrant tableau of black and white, teeming with life and movement. The natural scuffing and residue are inherent to the medium and media used to add an extra layer of authenticity and rawness to the artwork. These imperfections are not drawbacks but integral elements contributing to the piece's storytelling. Exploring the Details of Caravan Chaos The intricate patterns and characters that seem to dance across the metal canvas make the artwork's complexity apparent. Each character is whimsically drawn, yet an underlying order to the chaos suggests a narrative or a snapshot of a larger, unseen universe. This snapshot is a classic example of how street art and pop art can transform everyday objects and materials into something extraordinary, a characteristic feature of Mr Doodle's artistic approach. The choice of materials in "Caravan Chaos Side 4 Panel 11" is crucial to understanding Mr Doodle's work. The aluminum panel offers a smooth surface that interacts uniquely with the spray paint, allowing for crisp lines and a stark contrast between the black and white hues. Mounted on plywood, the piece gains a sturdy backdrop, anchoring the ethereal doodles to a physical reality. The natural wear on the artwork suggests it has lived beyond the studio, perhaps even in the streets, where the essence of graffiti art is rooted. The Legacy of Mr Doodle's Caravan Chaos This piece by Mr. Doodle is not just a singular work of art but a fragment of a grander vision the artist has been developing over the years. His style is instantly recognizable and has become synonymous with the playful energy and spontaneity that pop art and street art strive to embody. "Caravan Chaos Side 4 Panel 11" is a frozen moment of this vision, inviting viewers to enter Mr Doodle's world—where art is seen and experienced. Sam Cox's contribution to the art world through his Mr Doodle persona is a vibrant chapter in the ongoing pop and street art story. His works, like "Caravan Chaos Side 4 Panel 11," are visually stimulating and a reminder of the power of art to transform and engage with its audience on multiple levels. As this piece stands, it is a celebration of creativity unleashed, a fitting piece for any collection that values the bold and the whimsical.

Enjoy Mixed Media On Cradled Wood Panel Original Painting by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Ready To hang. "Recently this piece was not allowed into a show I had wanted it to be in. In Dubai, they have strict rules on obscenity and vulgarity. I had been wanting to paint this piece for a long time and was looking for just the right image to use as a base in it. I finally found it amongst the bowels of the internet. This painting is a visualization of an amazing Bill Hicks joke from his stand-up routine. In his stand up Bill goes into great detail about the evils of advertising when left unchallenged and unchecked. He imagines and describes an ad in the not-so-distant future that one day may exist. This painting is of that ad. Bill Hicks was a fucking genius and I only hope I did his work the justice it deserves. He was so inspirational in forming my current mindset, a true artist and rebel. I take inspiration from different artists in different ways. I like to visualize things like songs or speech or comedy and play with the different elements I come up with. I have a very playful mind." - Denial 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.

After getting all the blanks back to the studio and laying them out I was super overwhelmed considering every piece is 100% hand-painted and had to be done individually." - Malt

Canadian artist Denial and Australian-born Ben Frost have joined forces in a bold exhibition of new work that explores the boundaries of appropriation, in confronting re-imaginings of our current dystopian society.

Special Offer 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 Acrylic & Spray Paint Painting Artwork Size 24x32 Ben Frost is utilizing imagery familiar to western culture in order to make a statement about the culture itself on the basis of consumerism, modern icons, big corporations, etc. Animation characters, pop icons, brand logos, and many more are transformed into vibrant artworks and find their place in galleries. With this in mind, and in the case of Ben Frost, it is futile to try to identify a clear borderline between low and high art. In reality, the artist wants the audience to think on the terms of high or low value and, by extension, what these actually mean. Over the years street artists have managed to establish themselves as respected creators and some of them have even gained international fame, transforming graffiti from a fringe art, aiming sometimes to mark street gangs’ territory, into big business.

Wolf Like Me Original Painting Acrylic on Mixed-Media Reclaimed Wood Panel by Bask Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. “The esthetic of my work is similar to the Detroit landscape. The re-purposed nature of my art plays off of panels, wood, signs, that once were proudly displayed. But over the years they stopped serving their intended purpose and thrown out. The inspiration behind the work I made for this show was Detroit's strengths, struggles, and landscape. I took the opportunity to move to Detroit fourteen years ago, but for a number of reasons beyond my control, my stay lasted only 4 years. However, that was long enough for the city to have a profound impact on my work as well as my consciousness towards social and political issues. And even though I haven't called Detroit home in 9 years, the impression it stamped on me is something I hope I never lose. And it was this appreciation for the influence that DETROIT has had on me, that inspired the work I made for the show.” -Bask
