Caledonia Curry Street Pop Art: Pigeon Feeding Family Brooklyn 2005 Giclee Print by Swoon
Pigeon Feeding Family Brooklyn 2005 is a signed and numbered giclee print by American Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork icon Caledonia Curry, known globally under the name Swoon. Originally wheatpasted on a weathered Brooklyn wall, the work was photographed and transformed into a fine art edition, capturing the raw texture of the urban environment and the tenderness of everyday moments. Printed on heavy fine art rag paper, this piece measures 19 by 13 inches and was released in 2016 as part of a limited edition of 175. The work is part of the Swoon Street Series Print Collection, which immortalizes her ephemeral street interventions as collectible fine art.
Swoon’s Human-Centered Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Caledonia Curry’s practice blends compassion and community with socially charged visuals. This giclee print documents a street paste-up of a family in a moment of simple care and connection, feeding pigeons against a hand-painted wall. The mother figure anchors the composition with calm resilience while the children appear in varying poses of curiosity and support. This is a recurring hallmark in Swoon's Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork — intimate portraits of humanity created through hand-carved linoleum blocks, paper cutouts, and site-specific installations. Each subject is rooted in real communities and stories, often reflecting Curry’s collaborative work with underserved populations across the globe.
Brooklyn as a Canvas for Caledonia Curry’s Social Aesthetic
During the early 2000s, the streets of Brooklyn served as an active surface for many emerging artists, and Caledonia Curry’s large-scale paste-ups gained particular recognition for their emotional detail and craftsmanship. The original installation of Pigeon Feeding Family was not merely decorative but deeply site-specific, activating the decaying wall with human presence. Swoon’s commitment to public art goes beyond aesthetics. It embodies a form of street-level storytelling that addresses displacement, economic hardship, and resilience. The scene rendered in this giclee print speaks to those themes by elevating a humble act — feeding pigeons — into a portrait of survival and grace amid hardship.
Legacy and Preservation in the Swoon Street Series Print Collection
The 2016 release of Pigeon Feeding Family Brooklyn 2005 as a signed and numbered giclee was part of a broader effort to archive Swoon’s disappearing wall pieces from the early stages of her career. The Street Series Print Collection allows collectors and institutions to preserve this pivotal period of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork that otherwise lives only in photographs or memory. Each print in the series is produced with precision to reflect the texture, color, and environmental context of the original installation. With Caledonia Curry’s growing impact in both the fine art world and social practice circles, works like this continue to hold value as artifacts of a moment where street art was both protest and poetry.
