About the Item

Los Angeles street artist Gary John exploded onto the international art scene during the Art Basel Miami art fair in 2013. John’s playfully bold work quickly gained attention and he was named one of 20 standout artists at the 2014 NY Affordable Art Fair. His works have been represented by Artspace Warehouse since 2013. His contemporary artworks continue to be exhibited at major international art fairs in the United States, Asia and Europe, including Los Angeles, New York, London, Singapore and Hong Kong. Celebrities and major art collectors worldwide have acquired his timeless artworks, which have seen a significant increase in value. This colorful, original pop urban artwork on paper is 28 inches tall and 22 inches wide. The artwork is signed and dated by Gary John in black along the lower left of the artwork using the first two letters of his first and last names: "GA JO". Convenient local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Gary John has been a street artist since 1985. Originally from Seattle, Washington, he moved to Venice Beach, Los Angeles in 2003 and began selling on the Venice boardwalk. After almost 10 years on the boardwalk and experiencing “a bout with homelessness,” he was discovered and his artistic career took off with great success. He references this success in every artwork he makes. Along the left side of the artwork he paints a series of circles joined together by an arrow pointing up. Each circle represents a stepping stone on the path of success that keeps growing to greater heights. On the right side he depicts a line of houses, expressing the joy he finds in the stability of a home. John’s work is deeply inspired by comic books, American pop culture, and artists like Keith Haring, Basquiat, and Picasso, with his art often referencing his personal journey. In "Joy," the upward arrow and connected circles symbolize stepping stones of growth and success, while the houses on the right express his appreciation for the stability and joy of home life. John says about his art: “I grew up in a dysfunctional home. I always got lost in my art as an escape. Art is my passion. There is not enough time in the day to do all the painting I want to do. I’m consumed with it.” Key Features: > Pop-Urban Aesthetic: Rendered in vibrant acrylic paint with Gary John’s characteristic graffiti style. > Signed and Dated: Hand-signed “GA JO” in black on the lower left corner, a unique hallmark of the artist. > Unframed and Ready for Display: Ships unframed for versatile framing options, allowing collectors to customize the presentation. > Authenticity Guaranteed: Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery. > Flexible Delivery: Includes free local Los Angeles delivery and affordable worldwide shipping.

Circles 1
By Steve Joester
Located in New York, NY
Abstract art. Strong colors. Red. Black. White. Circle motif. About the Artist: Steve Joester is a British-born Rock & Roll photographer and mixed media artist, currently living and working in New York City. 
Joester, a leading Rock & Roll photographer in the 70's and 80's, had his iconic images of the greatest rock performers appear on album sleeves, posters, exhibitions and magazines worldwide. Joester made his mark shooting icons such as Mick Jagger, Bob Marley, Neil Young, Sting, and also documented Andy Warhol on film with Rob Halford of Judas Priest backstage at the Palladium in April, 1979. In an explosive interpretation of the rock icons that left their indelible mark on our generation, Joester's unique mixed media works transcend his photography. Using an unconventional mixture of materials on his canvases, he echoes the raw energy of Rock & Roll with his own Interpretation of the emotion and power of the live performances. Joester was the first mixed media artist to be represented by the Morrison Hotel Gallery, and his work is included in collections internationally. COLLECTED BY JOHN VARVATOS RALPH LAUREN E.
