Stephen Powers
Everything is Shit Except You Love (How We Met is Our Story), with unique drawings, 2017
Original graphite drawings on screen print in four colors on 335 gsm Coventry rag paper
Pencil signed, numbered 2/100 and with unique pencil drawings and annotations by the artist
12 x 12 inches
Unframed
Here, the artist has taken one of his most iconic and popular silkscreens "Everything is Shit Except You Love", and added unique, original drawings and text annotations - telling a charming and unique story ideal for any couple's bedroom, living room or dining room. This drawing depicts the image of a pencil, in the midst of writing, with the text "How we met is our story" - and an image of coffee and croissants. There are also stacks of $$ bills, with the commentary "it all evens out", and perhaps most charmingly, the artist has numbered the work 2/50 -- then corrected it to number 2/100, with the annotation "Sorry, wrong number."
So, while the published edition of this work is 2/100, the epiphanies, drawings, and text commentary make it entirely unique - and quite romantic too.
About Stephen Powers
A Fulbright scholar who has been awarded many public commissions and exhibited in major institutions like the Brooklyn Museum.... Born and raised in Philadelphia’s Overbrook neighborhood, Stephen Powers (b. 1968, Philadelphia) moved to New York in 1994, where he gained attention as the publisher of On the Go magazine and the author of the graffiti history The Art of Getting Over. In 1997, Powers undertook an ambitious and far-reaching graffiti campaign of his own, using the official-sounding acronym ESPO (Exterior Surface Painting Outreach) to deflect attention from the illegality of his activities. By 1999, he had covered dozens of storefront grates with giant silver block lettering. Powers gave up street graffiti the following year to concentrate on studio-based projects.
Powers’s work typically fuses word and image in paintings and graphics that evoke the bright look of a handmade bodega and fairground signage while reflecting the artist’s playful sense of humor. In 2005, he curated The Dreamland Artists Club, commissioning more than forty-five artists to repaint signage in Coney Island. As a 2007 Fulbright Scholar, Powers teamed up with local teenagers to create public works in Dublin and Belfast; the latter inspired in part by the city’s tradition of political murals. More recently, he collaborated on A Love Letter for You, in which he and a twenty-artist crew transformed a stretch of West Philadelphia into an open valentine with a series of romantic messages.
"I used to write graffiti, and graffiti is boiling down your whole life into one word, then repeating that word in as many ways as you can, until the word fills years like the days on a calendar. When I stopped writing graffiti and started making art, I went from one word to the rest of them. Words are good but people don’t read anymore — witness the proliferation of emojis as a language. Emojis can only say so much, so I combine word and image to depict the entire world. I make paintings like they were originally made, in a dark cave by a person with limited resources and a need to record what is compelling him to be told. I have more resources and data at my disposal, but it’s still dark, and I’m still compelled to draw the light." - Stephen Powers
