Cosmic Eyes Silkscreen Print by Jason Abraham Smith
Cosmic Eyes is a limited edition silkscreen print created by Jason Abraham Smith in 2013. This highly detailed hand-pulled artwork, measuring 18x24 inches, is signed and numbered on the back, with only 40 prints produced. The piece exemplifies the artist’s signature style, merging elements of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork with intricate linework, surrealist horror, and an otherworldly aesthetic. The organic yet mechanical forms within the composition evoke a dreamlike fusion of science fiction, mythology, and street-inspired chaos, making it a standout example of print-based contemporary art.
Visual Complexity and Symbolism
The composition of Cosmic Eyes is dense and highly structured, featuring a hybrid of monstrous organic forms and intricate mechanical details. The dominant imagery presents an almost deity-like cosmic entity with piercing eyes, radiating energy in all directions. Tentacle-like appendages twist and weave throughout the scene, intertwined with technological elements, skeletal figures, and surreal textures. The symmetry of the artwork creates a hypnotic effect, drawing the viewer into a seemingly infinite pattern of repeating motifs. The use of detailed stippling and fine cross-hatching adds depth and texture, reminiscent of both traditional etching techniques and the raw aesthetics of graffiti-style illustration. The color palette, dominated by muted greens, browns, and bone-like whites, enhances the eerie and otherworldly atmosphere, reinforcing the theme of cosmic horror and transcendental vision.
Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Influence
Jason Abraham Smith’s work is deeply connected to the visual language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. His bold, intricate linework reflects the precision of mural-based street art, while his surreal themes and chaotic compositions are reminiscent of underground comic book aesthetics and lowbrow art movements. The layered complexity of Cosmic Eyes echoes the detailed layering techniques found in wheatpaste posters and large-scale graffiti murals. His fusion of psychedelic horror and mechanical precision captures the raw, energetic feel of urban art, making this print a piece that could just as easily exist on a city wall as in a fine art print collection. The aggressive textures and fluid movement within the piece give it an almost animated quality, reinforcing its place within contemporary print-based street art.
Collectibility and Cultural Impact
As a signed and numbered edition of only 40, Cosmic Eyes is a highly sought-after print among collectors of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The meticulous craftsmanship behind the hand-pulled silkscreen process ensures that each print carries subtle variations, making every copy unique. The connection to horror, mythology, and futuristic themes expands its appeal beyond traditional street art enthusiasts, attracting fans of surrealist and fantasy-driven visual art. Jason Abraham Smith’s ability to merge printmaking traditions with the raw energy of urban-inspired artwork makes this piece a defining example of contemporary silkscreen-based Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The scarcity of the edition, combined with the immersive nature of the composition, ensures that Cosmic Eyes remains a valued and influential piece within the growing world of independent screenprint artwork.
