Pop art, street art, and graffiti often transcend traditional boundaries, embracing contemporary cultural themes, and seeking inspiration from the world around us. The "Graff Head Slick 14 HPM Unique" spray paint silkscreen print, meticulously crafted by OG Slick, embodies this spirit of artistic transcendence. Crafted on untrimmed 250gsm Stonehenge Fine Art Paper, this artwork is an emblem of precision with its 11-color hand-pulled technique, standing as a testament to the craftsmanship in the realm of modern art. This unique piece, signed and dated 2022, seamlessly merges the familiar with the profound. At first glance, the iconic visage of Mickey Mouse captures the attention. However, deeper introspection reveals the Mickey Mouse character reimagined as the Guan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion. With an upper body and face drenched in hues of red and black spray paint, the imagery strikes a balance between the nostalgic and the spiritual, while also resonating with the rebellious tones of street art. Drawing inspiration from his childhood forays into Chinatown, OG Slick presents an intriguing narrative through this artwork. Stores in Chinatown often had figurines at their registers, believed to usher in good fortune for both the owner and the generous patrons. Reflecting this tradition, the Mickey Mouse Guan Yin in this silkscreen print is portrayed being showered with digital currency, symbolizing the merging of ancient beliefs with the digital age. It's a commentary on how tradition finds its place in the modern world, and how even revered symbols like Guan Yin can be seen through fresh, contemporary lenses. Through this print, OG Slick not only celebrates his roots and memories but also challenges viewers to question and redefine the symbols that populate our collective consciousness. Unique run of 25.
