Endless Winter Chicago 2013-2014 Silkscreen Print by CHema Skandal!
Endless Winter Chicago 2013-2014 is a limited edition silkscreen print created by CHema Skandal! in 2014. This hand-pulled screenprint, sized at 18.5x24.5 inches, was produced in a signed and numbered edition of 30. The artwork was designed in connection with The Chancers' music album Age of Rudeness, merging the themes of ska, punk, and underground music culture with the raw energy of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Known for his bold visual storytelling, CHema Skandal! brings a chaotic yet playful aesthetic to this piece, embodying the spirit of independent art and music scenes.
Visual Aesthetics and Composition
The print features a dynamic and cartoon-like character, exaggerated in expression and motion, dressed in winter gear while playfully engaged in a snowball fight. The character’s mischievous grin and energetic pose add a sense of rebellious joy, reminiscent of classic underground comic book styles and punk poster design. The typography, hand-drawn and slightly distressed, contributes to the raw and unfiltered nature of the composition. The color palette, limited to bold blue and magenta, enhances the high-contrast aesthetic commonly associated with DIY printmaking and graffiti-style artwork. The rough textures and imperfect ink application highlight the hand-crafted silkscreen process, reinforcing the authenticity of the print as a piece of urban street-inspired art.
Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Influence
CHema Skandal! has long been associated with Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, blending traditional printmaking with the immediacy and accessibility of urban street culture. Endless Winter Chicago 2013-2014 reflects this influence through its punk-infused design and the incorporation of playful yet subversive imagery. The piece evokes the energy of independent gig posters, zine culture, and protest art, all of which have roots in the underground scenes that define street art movements. The hand-pulled silkscreen process further cements the connection to DIY aesthetics, where imperfections and variations in each print contribute to its unique identity. The layered use of texture and negative space gives the composition a spontaneous quality, aligning with the raw nature of street-based artwork.
Connection to Music and Cultural Impact
This print was created for The Chancers’ album Age of Rudeness, reflecting the strong relationship between visual art and independent music. CHema Skandal! has frequently collaborated with musicians, designing posters and album covers that capture the rebellious and energetic spirit of ska, punk, and rock. The imagery in Endless Winter Chicago 2013-2014 reflects both the harsh reality of Chicago’s winter and the resilience of underground culture, where creativity thrives regardless of external conditions. The scarcity of this edition, with only 30 prints in circulation, makes it a highly sought-after collectible among fans of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The continued relevance of CHema Skandal!’s work in both gallery and street settings highlights his influence in shaping contemporary print-based street art movements.
