Cup & Brushes Original Ceramic Hand Painted Sculpture by Joshua Vides Shattered Dreams Series Artwork by Graffiti Street Artist. 2023 Signed Original Hand-Made Sculpture One of A Kind Ceramic & Acrylic Paint Artwork Size 3x10 BMW Car Logo on Tall Slim Cup with Paintbrushes in It That Have Been Used With Colorful Paint Statue. Cup & Brushes by Joshua Vides: Handcrafted Commentary in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Cup & Brushes is a 2023 original ceramic sculpture by Joshua Vides, hand-painted and sculpted as a one-of-a-kind piece within his Shattered Dreams series. Standing at 10 inches tall and 3 inches wide, the sculpture is composed of ceramic and acrylic paint, presenting a stylized painter’s cup filled with color-dipped brushes. The object is marked with a distorted BMW logo, rendered with Vides’ signature black-and-white linework and cartoonish imperfection. The result is a satirical fusion of commercial branding and art studio realism, executed in static ceramic form but resonating with the vibrant and disruptive energy of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The sculpture immediately strikes as an everyday object captured in transition. The tall, slim cup mimics a standard plastic or glass container typically found in a working artist’s space, now elevated to ceramic permanence. Inside it, five brushes—each dipped in a different primary color—rise with varying angles and tips, frozen mid-use. Paint splatters decorate the brush handles, hinting at past action, movement, and human presence. The BMW logo appears deliberately imprecise, drawn with an uneven hand, suggesting critique or humor rather than admiration. Vides transforms corporate symbolism into a malleable texture, destabilizing its glossy authority by recontextualizing it within the raw environment of creative labor. Material Tension and Visual Commentary Joshua Vides is known for his ability to distort reality through sculptural forms that look like sketches, flattening three-dimensional objects into cartoon-like representations. In Cup & Brushes, that visual illusion is secondary to texture and concept. The glossy ceramic surfaces are accented with drips, smudges, and brush marks, celebrating the mess of making while pointing to the polished image culture that often erases labor. By painting a luxury car logo onto a utilitarian cup used for cleaning brushes, Vides creates a sharp contrast between aspiration and effort, between consumer fantasy and creative reality. This kind of visual subversion is central to Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Vides uses the physicality of the sculpture to question the perceived value of brand versus process. The brushes, often overlooked tools in the creation of spectacle, become the spectacle themselves. The cup—humble and functional—now becomes a pedestal for critique. By freezing a studio scene in ceramic, Vides invites viewers to consider what is glorified and what is hidden behind polished design and global branding. Joshua Vides and the Language of Line in Three Dimensions Joshua Vides has become internationally recognized for his monochromatic comic-style transformations of everyday objects, environments, and fashion collaborations. While many of his installations utilize hard lines and sharp contrast to simulate two-dimensionality, Cup & Brushes allows texture, color, and volume to take center stage. It represents a matured shift in his practice—one where he does not rely on flat outlines but instead builds emotional and cultural critique through object and form. The Shattered Dreams series, from which this sculpture originates, is an ongoing exploration of how ambition, identity, and artistic purpose interact with capitalism and brand loyalty. The BMW emblem, distorted and casually placed, functions as a stand-in for broader themes of consumption and the dream of success. The sculpture implies that behind every polished brand lies a messy cup of brushes—used, dipped, stained, and repurposed in pursuit of creative expression. Cup & Brushes as Static Protest and Artistic Tribute Cup & Brushes is more than a still-life tribute to tools—it is a sculptural poem about the invisible effort behind visual culture. It challenges the viewer to look past the logo, past the clean gallery space, and into the workspace of the artist, where objects are not sacred until they are signed, not valued until they are sold. Joshua Vides brings this tension to the surface, capturing it in ceramic and sealing it in the aesthetics of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. This sculpture stands as a reminder that even luxury begins in labor, and that every mark of paint holds a story worth sculpting.

The Raise- 17x10 Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on Museum Natural Fine Art Paper by Earth Crusher Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "The Raise is my interpretation of the regular goings-on in the office life of the corporate elite. This piece is the largest of a 4 part series of billboards I built for my solo show "The Chosen One Percent" at Artgang in Montreal, Quebec, March 2016. I became interested in advertising and propaganda in the beginning of my art career and I especially liked the billboard as a medium and started experimenting with it. I see the billboard as being outside of the control of the people, a symbol of power and manipulation. I decided I'd build my own as an attempt to take that power and put it behind my own messages." - Earth Crusher
