DON'T MISS OUT -⠀
Only one custom-framed print left by anonymous British street-artist STIK⠀
-⠀
For the last decade, Stik's mysterious figures have been lurking on sides of buildings and billboards across London. Though simple, composed of just six lines each with dots for eyes, Stik's stick people are subtly expressive. The artist spent a number of years homeless, and in addition to being self-taught, still does much of his mural work illegally, sometimes reaching seemingly superhuman locations to paint. ⠀

The Godfather of Street Art - Richard Hambleton.⠀
-⠀
Hambleton was a pioneering Canadian street artist. He is recognized as a pivotal intermediary between Abstract Expressionism and the popular “art for the masses” graffiti that boomed in the 1980s. He is best known for his grisly “Shadowmen” and “Horse and Rider” figures which he tagged in alleyways and drug-dealing hotspots in Lower Manhattan throughout the '70s and ’80s. Despite finding early success in New York and showing at the Venice Biennale in 1984 and ’88, Hambleton was largely forgotten in the ’90s and early 2000s, when his personal battles with addiction alienated him from the art world. Hambleton’s work saw a resurgence in the 2010s, with solo shows, major museum retrospectives, and documentaries taking a new look at the seminal role he played in the history of street art.⠀

Tag the Radiant Baby to your Robot Head ✨👶🤖⠀
-⠀
Artist and designer Eric Orr was a pioneer of graffiti art in the late ‘70s and one of the first graffiti artists to substitute typography for visual iconography. His moniker “robot head” was named by Keith Haring and the two collaborated on a series of drawings in the NYC Subways in 1984 (as seen in last slide). This silkscreen, created in conjunction with @garylichtensteineditions, reimagines the original collab and celebrates the pair's fierce friendship. DM or email sales@wcc.art to inquire or acquire.

How many different words can you spot? ⠀

Poet, musician, and graffiti prodigy, Jean-Michel Basquiat had honed his signature painting style of obsessive scribbling, elusive symbols, and mask-and-skull imagery by the time he was 20. ⠀
-⠀
This work depicts two stylized boxers exchanging blows, surrounded by references to boxing, the Chinese Boxer Rebellion, and related texts. The sport of boxing, famous black athletes, and class struggle are recurring themes in Basquiat's work. Along with his trademark use of symbols—seen here in the form of Chinese characters—and the use of repeated and crossed out text, makes for an archetypal work in both content and style.

Cuban-American artist José Parlá blends curvy gestures, calligraphy, and personal inscriptions with blurred color fields, using brushes, markers, and spray paint. “With making abstract painting,” he has said, “I felt that what I was doing and what I’m still doing is translating the many different cultures and many different languages that I’m confronting.” DM or email sales@wcc.art to inquire or acquire.
