Tavar Zawacki Above Papel 25 2022 Silkscreen Print
Tavar Zawacki, also known as Above, is an American artist born in 1981 who rose to international recognition through his globe spanning street interventions and arrow based visual language. Papel 25, released in 2022, is a three color hand pulled silkscreen print produced on 330gsm Somerset Radiant White paper. Measuring 70 x 70 cm, or approximately 27 1/2 x 27 1/2 inches, the edition is limited to 50 and each print is signed and numbered by the artist. Zawacki’s practice has evolved from bold typographic and directional graffiti into refined geometric abstraction, yet it remains grounded in the ethos of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. This print reflects his ongoing investigation into form, balance, and spatial tension through minimal yet highly disciplined composition.
Geometric Abstraction and Visual Movement in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Papel 25 presents a striking arrangement of curved white forms that appear to fold or peel upward against a saturated blue background, anchored by a bold orange base. The composition creates an illusion of dimensionality despite the flatness inherent in silkscreen printing. Zawacki’s clean edges and deliberate color separations demonstrate precise screen registration, allowing the three colors to interact without visual clutter. The white structure suggests motion and lift, echoing the directional energy that characterized his early arrow motifs while moving toward a more reductive abstract vocabulary. Within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this kind of geometric refinement reflects the maturation of artists who began in public space and transitioned into studio driven printmaking without abandoning clarity or impact.
Limited Edition Craftsmanship and Contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
The use of Somerset Radiant White 330gsm paper underscores the fine art quality of the edition, providing a substantial surface that enhances the crisp ink application and color saturation. Limited to 50 signed and numbered impressions, Papel 25 embodies the scarcity model common in contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork while maintaining strong production standards. Zawacki’s disciplined reduction of form and color highlights the continued evolution of street rooted artists into globally collected contemporary printmakers. By merging minimalist abstraction with the bold visual sensibility forged in public murals, Papel 25 stands as a refined and highly collectible example of modern Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.
