    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Psychedelic Andre- Endless Summer Blotter Paper Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Psychedelic Andre - Endless Summer Obey Giant Blotter Paper Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper by Shepard Fairey X John Van Hamersveld pop culture LSD artwork. "I first made this image in 1967, and then the poster came out in 1968. One day I sat down and started this drawing out of my style. I had been an art director at Capitol Records, and I hadn't been drawing very much. It was a whole new state I was in. But it was an opportunity to test my drawing and put it into a poster and have it published. It all came out great. It was a fantastic show. There were ads everywhere and people loved the poster. It just started to become a piece of history right away, much like The Endless Summer poster." - John Van Hamersveld "I became a fan of Hendrix after I exited my punk rock orthodoxy phase. I ended up gravitating towards John's image because it had that nod to psychedelia, without going so overboard in the baroque detail, that it remained iconic. This Hendrix image itself — along with a few other influences, like Barbara Kruger and Russian Constructivism — was a huge influence in how I was going to make work that had the ability to cut through the clutter of what's on the street and still have a recognizable style. When I was just making variations of the Andre on the different backgrounds, I was looking at a lot of psychedelic work, but John's piece really inspired me to make something that was a deviation from just playing it safe with the original Andre image. So John's Pinnacle Hendrix was sort of a gateway to the evolution of my entire Andre The Giant project. I can't really understate the importance of this image for me." - Shepard Fairey

  • Tanuki Fighter Original Acrylic Painting by Nicole Gustafsson

    Nicole Gustafsson Tanuki Fighter Original Acrylic Painting by Nicole Gustafsson

    Tanuki Fighter Original One of a Kind Acrylic Painting Artwork on Fine Art Paper by Popular Street Graffiti Artist Nicole Gustafsson. 2014 Custom Framed & Matted Signed Original Image 3x3 Frame 8.5x8.5 Nicole Gustafsson's Artistic Vision Gustafsson's work, including "Tanuki Fighter," is often marked by an infusion of vibrant colors and imaginative elements that speak to the innocence of childhood fantasies and the complex narratives in urban street art. Her technique involves using acrylics—a medium known for its bright, opaque colors and quick drying times—allowing for the dynamic and layered compositions that have become her signature. The "Tanuki Fighter" is a testament to her skill in manipulating this medium, resulting in a visual spectacle that is as much a fine art piece as an emblem of pop culture. The "Tanuki Fighter" is an original acrylic painting on fine art paper by Nicole Gustafsson, whose work has significantly influenced street pop art and graffiti artwork. This particular piece, created in 2014, is a quintessential example of Gustafsson's unique aesthetic, which merges the whimsy of pop art with the raw edge of street art, creating a distinctive and recognizable oeuvre that has captivated a global audience. Depiction and Symbolism The painting depicts a tanuki, a creature often found in Japanese folklore, known for its mischievous spirit and shapeshifting abilities. Gustafsson has given this mythical creature a contemporary twist, portraying it as a fighter with a determined expression and a fighting stance. The choice of a tanuki as the subject matter is a nod to the playful and often fantastical themes prevalent in street pop art while also embodying graffiti artwork's transformative and rebellious spirit. The tanuki is presented in a simplistic yet expressive style, with attention to the textural details that give the character a lifelike presence. Its pose and attire are reminiscent of a sumo wrestler, adding a layer of cultural reference and humor to the piece. Using a monochromatic color scheme for the tanuki against a contrasting vibrant green background emphasizes the figure, drawing the viewer's eye directly to the subject. Composition and Framing "Tanuki Fighter" is not just notable for its subject and style but also for its presentation. The original image, measuring 3x3 inches, is custom framed and matted to an overall size of 8.5x8.5 inches. This deliberate framing choice highlights the artwork's intimacy and intricacy. The piece's scale, when paired with the boldness of its content, plays with the viewer's perception, demanding a closer look and personal engagement with the work. The framing choice also speaks to Gustafsson's understanding of her artwork's role as standalone pieces and as part of a larger narrative in someone's living space. A framed piece of art carries a different weight and presence compared to unframed street art, and "Tanuki Fighter" bridges these two worlds, bringing the raw energy of street art into the curated environment of home galleries. Cultural Impact and Collectibility As an original piece by a famous street graffiti artist, "Tanuki Fighter" holds significant value for collectors and enthusiasts of street pop art. Original works represent a tangible connection to the artist's vision and narrative, offering an authentic slice of the culture and era that produced it. Moreover, the piece's status as a one-of-a-kind artwork elevates its desirability, making it a sought-after item for those looking to own a piece of contemporary art history. The work's uniqueness is further solidified by Gustafsson's hand in its creation, with the artist signing the piece. This assures its authenticity and marks it as an integral part of Gustafsson's artistic journey. Collectors of such pieces often view them as investments, not just in financial terms but also as cultural artifacts that capture the essence of a particular artistic movement or style. In summary, Nicole Gustafsson's "Tanuki Fighter" embodies the playful spirit and cultural blending that defines street pop art and graffiti artwork. Its clever use of folklore, combined with a modern aesthetic and presentation, makes it a standout piece that captures the imagination and reflects the evolving nature of contemporary art. As an original, signed, custom-framed piece, it holds a special place within Gustafsson's body of work and the broader context of street-inspired art.

The Dynamic World of Wrestling in Street Pop Art & Graffiti

Wrestling, with its vibrant personas and dramatic narratives, has long been a subject of fascination in popular culture, and it has found a resonant echo in the realm of street pop art and graffiti artwork. This sport, characterized by its theatricality and athletic prowess, provides a rich tapestry of imagery and symbolism for artists to draw from, making it a frequent motif in their creative expression. The larger-than-life characters, the intense physicality, and the spectacle of the wrestling world offer a unique visual language that translates powerfully into art. Artists within the street pop art movement have been drawn to the raw energy and vivid storytelling inherent in wrestling. They incorporate the sport's iconic imagery, from masked luchadors to muscled figures locked in combat, to explore themes of identity, power, struggle, and triumph. These works often use exaggerated features and dynamic poses typical of wrestlers to convey motion and emotion, bringing the static surfaces of walls and canvases to life. Graffiti artists, in particular, have embraced wrestling for its rebellious spirit and its roots in working-class entertainment. The sport's blend of authenticity and artifice resonates with the graffiti ethos, often involving crafting an alter ego or persona that can take on mythic proportions in the public imagination. By depicting wrestlers, these artists can delve into discussions about public personas versus private selves, the spectacle of celebrity, and the narratives we construct around heroes and villains. In street pop art, wrestling imagery is sometimes used to comment on social and political issues, drawing parallels between the performative aspects of wrestling and those found in everyday life. The struggle within the ring can be seen as a metaphor for personal and societal conflicts, with the artists using the visual shorthand of wrestling to communicate complex ideas about resistance, resilience, and identity. Wrestling's inherent theatricality also aligns with the pop art tradition of elevating popular culture to the level of fine art. Artists in this space celebrate the sport's colorful, exaggerated nature, creating works that are both an homage to and a critique of the spectacle. The dazzling costumes, the dramatic storylines, and the archetypal characters of wrestling provide a fertile ground for exploration and reinterpretation in art.

In the same way that wrestlers perform in the ring, street pop artists perform on the urban stage, with the city walls serving as their canvas. The public nature of wrestling and street art means they are accessible to a broad audience, transcending traditional cultural barriers. Both forms of entertainment have grassroots origins and have risen in popularity and sophistication, gaining new layers of meaning and appreciation over time. In essence, wrestling serves as a mirror for the artists, reflecting the complexities of human nature and our society. The inclusion of wrestling themes in street pop art and graffiti artwork is a celebration of a shared cultural phenomenon that speaks to the heart of what it means to be human—to fight, to perform, and to tell our stories in the most compelling way possible. Through the lens of wrestling, artists can engage with their viewers, challenging them to consider the roles we all play in the grand performance of
