Burrrrberrrrry as Reimagined in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Daniel Bombardier, professionally known as Denial, continues his cultural deconstruction of luxury symbolism with the 2024 release of the High Fashion Burberry blotter print. This limited edition artwork is executed on perforated blotter paper, a material long associated with counterculture and psychedelic art. Hand-perforated by Zane Kesey and measuring 7.5 by 7.5 inches, the print merges high fashion branding with street-level critique. Featuring a warped reinterpretation of the Burberry logo as Burrrrberrrrry, this piece questions the constructed prestige of fashion houses through the lens of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The distinctive Burberry tartan and iconic equestrian knight emblem remain central, but their presentation is filtered through a playful, disruptive, and highly subversive artistic voice.
Subverting Heritage Branding Through Satire and Street Culture
The Burberry brand, established by Thomas Burberry in England in 1856, has cultivated an image synonymous with British sophistication and functional elegance. In Denial's version, this legacy is visually distorted. The stretched-out text exaggerates the branding to the point of absurdity, effectively dismantling its seriousness. The classic beige, red, and black plaid—a symbol of high fashion and sometimes rebellious subculture—dominates the lower half of the composition, emphasizing the duality of its place in culture as both exclusive and imitated. Denial’s use of humor and repetition transforms the logo into something excessive and ironic, echoing the ways luxury fashion often finds itself commodified and memed within internet and street-based creative spaces.
Denial’s Commentary on Consumer Fetishism and Art Commodification
Denial’s High Fashion series critiques not just the fashion industry but also the commodification of everything, including art itself. By printing these designs on blotter paper, a medium associated with the underground and mind-altering experience, Denial intentionally blurs the line between commercial branding and counterculture. This tension is at the heart of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork—where luxury logos are often repurposed as statements on mass consumption, wealth, and identity. Denial does not simply parody Burberry but recontextualizes its meaning within an art form that thrives on social commentary and subversive aesthetics. The piece becomes an invitation to question what gives a brand its power, and who has the right to disrupt that image.
Burberry in the Crosshairs of Visual Dissent
By placing Burberry within the structure of limited-edition blotter art, Denial reframes the brand not as an untouchable institution but as a malleable object within the hands of the public. This act is in keeping with the ethos of graffiti and street art, which often refuse to respect boundaries imposed by property, power, or prestige. Artists like Denial leverage these visuals not for homage but to expose the artificial layers beneath luxury. The High Fashion Burberry blotter print serves both as a collectible artwork and a critique wrapped in aesthetic appeal, reminding viewers that in the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, no icon is too sacred to remix.
