"Calla | Moon" represents a stunning intersection of natural beauty and urban artistry, a striking creation by Jet Martinez, an artist celebrated for his work within the pop graffiti scene. This oversized, hand-pulled 10-color silkscreen print showcases Martinez's distinctive use of vibrant colors and bold patterns, which are the signature of his artwork. Released in 2022, the piece is part of a signed and numbered limited edition collection of 80, each print measuring an expansive 31x23 inches, allowing the details and colors to resonate with viewers. Crafted on 410gsm Somerset Satin Deckled Tub Fine Art Paper, the print exudes a tangible luxury, which is further enhanced by its substantial weight and texture. The deckled edges of the paper offer a traditional feel reminiscent of handcrafted art pieces and imbue the work with an additional layer of sophistication. The meticulous process of silkscreen printing, involving the manual layering of each color, ensures that every print is unique, with subtle variations contributing to the piece's individuality. Martinez's choice of the Calla lily as the central motif pays homage to the elegant simplicity and fluid lines characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement, which he modernizes with his graffiti-inspired aesthetic. The use of the moon element within the composition brings a sense of balance and harmony, as well as a touch of the ethereal, contrasting the organic with the cosmic. This duality reflects the artist's ability to blend the natural world with urban cultural expression. This piece of fine art, while deeply rooted in the motifs and messages of street and graffiti art, transcends the traditional boundaries of the genre. It speaks to an audience that appreciates the confluence of classical art principles with the dynamism of contemporary street art. "Calla | Moon" by Jet Martinez is not just an acquisition for collectors but a symbolic statement of the evolving narratives within pop and graffiti art movements, encapsulated in a form that will endure as both art and investment.
