Graffiti Canvas Art & Prints

Talented artists use graffiti to communicate, not to paint litter into city walls and subway tunnels. The art pieces in this section are an integral part of the work we offer, a place that highlights graffiti prints from the best and brightest artists working in the field today.

A graffiti canvas is more than just a bunch of squiggly lines and spray-can noise. In fact, many artists included here have shown their work in galleries for groups of people who could never imagine their place of origin. Their work has earned the right to stand toe-to-toe with modern compositions that typically command far more expensive profits.

This is also the place to find stencil graffiti, where artists use paper or cardboard cut-outs to design basic images, then build the composition with additional details. This type of graffiti canvas has an unmistakable style that puts a community stamp of creativity on the finished product.

Community is an important word, since the congregation of street artists in America and Europe are extremely protective of each other and supportive of their work. Graffiti prints always carry an intended message, and the artists themselves form a loose culture of free speech advocates, whose work speaks to their audiences much more often than they do.

Understanding a stencil graffiti piece, then, is as simple as subscribing to an alternate view, appreciating the social flavours that a graffiti canvas makes possible. It may be a particular line, graphic, or phrase that captures your attention, or a subtle combination of all three. The interpretation is never certain, the opinion of the viewer never taken for granted. It’s an aspect of graffiti prints that make them more exciting to create, to collect, to discuss.

These are the thought processes that put graffiti and stencil art in perspective, creating an artistic record of society’s values, politics, and culture in a way that can be easily communicated. ArtFlux and its featured artists may present an element of mystery in a particular graffiti canvas, but it may just be our intention to suggest an end point rather than define one.
