We're very pleased to announce that two artworks from the parker pop shop are currently up for bid at auction with artnet... First: Breaking Kool-Aid (large) 34"x34" spray paint on canvas... http://www.artnet.com/auctions/artists/joss-parker
Exemplifying his characteristic use of appropriated Pop imagery, this painting by artist Joss Parker titled 'Breaking Kool-Aid' depicts the iconic Kool-Aid Man in a re-imagined light. Instead of breaking through a wall with his "Oh Yeah!" catchphrase, here the Kool-Aid Man is in fact the one being shattered apart, with bright red juice shown dripping from the cracks. This work was executed using hand-cut stencils and aerosol spray paint on canvas...
Second: One of our favorites, Al-Qaeda Camo (Purple Hues) 38x26 in. spray paint on canvas...http://www.artnet.com/auctions/artists/joss-parker/al-qaeda
Executed using hand-cut stencils and spray paint on canvas, this 2012 work from Joss Parker titled 'Al-Qaeda' combines his street art perspective with contemporary Pop imagery. Contrasting the serious against the playful, Parker transposes a graphic image of a masked Al-Qaeda man brandishing an assault rifle, against a bright array of pink and purple camouflage....
The auction runs thru the New Year.
A Thank You to Jud & Michael Blaine, Gracie Mansion, every one in the URBAN art department at ARTNET & my fans.
Thank You...
