Haiconca Metallic Yellow Gold Silkscreen Print by Fin DAC
Haiconca Metallic Yellow Gold is a 2023 silkscreen masterpiece by renowned street pop art artist Fin DAC. Printed on full bleed, hand-deckled 410gsm Somerset fine art paper, this work measures 20 by 31.5 inches and comes from a strictly limited edition of only 40 signed and numbered prints. The print is created using an intricate 8-color silkscreen process, featuring a finely rendered monochromatic portrait that is electrified by a bold, metallic yellow gold mask motif. This juxtaposition of grayscale hyperrealism with vibrant symbolic color is a hallmark of Fin DAC's visual language and contributes to his ongoing commentary on cultural beauty and feminine power.
Signature Style and Cultural Emblems of Fin DAC
Fin DAC, born in Ireland and now internationally recognized, has redefined female portraiture in street pop art and graffiti artwork through his consistent and deliberate visual symbolism. His signature aesthetic includes masked women adorned with color-splashed facial motifs that recall traditional Asian, South American, or tribal ceremonial elements. Haiconca Metallic Yellow Gold exemplifies this ongoing thematic approach. The woman in this piece gazes directly at the viewer, poised yet guarded, her piercing eyes offset by the dripping gold mask over her upper face. Her nose ring, textured ring, and painted fingernails add to the layered storytelling that often defines Fin DAC’s subjects—powerful yet introspective, adorned yet undiminished.
Process, Materials, and Artistic Execution
The use of 410gsm Somerset paper is a deliberate choice, enhancing the tactile depth of the work and allowing the metallic pigment to reflect light in varying tones depending on the viewer's angle. The 8-color hand-pulled silkscreen method allows for extreme control and layering, resulting in a print that feels almost photographic while retaining its raw street art origin. The hand-deckled edges give the print a raw, sculptural quality that complements the street-to-gallery ethos central to Fin DAC's practice. These production details are not incidental—they are essential to understanding how street pop art has evolved into a serious collectible fine art medium.
Contemporary Relevance in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Haiconca Metallic Yellow Gold stands as a visually arresting reflection on identity, agency, and perception. The metallic yellow mask is both shield and declaration—a visual metaphor for the roles women adopt or resist in contemporary society. Fin DAC’s work continues to elevate women of diverse cultural backgrounds not as exotic symbols, but as empowered individuals commanding their presence across urban and gallery landscapes. In the context of street pop art and graffiti artwork, this piece bridges photorealistic portraiture with bold iconography, highlighting Fin DAC’s place as a pivotal figure in the genre. With only 40 editions produced, this 2023 release offers collectors a rare and powerful work that speaks directly to the moment while maintaining timeless aesthetic and emotional depth.
