Street Art on Canvas

In 2017, Jean-Michel Basquiat set the record for the most expensive work ever sold by an American artist when his painting of a skull, Untitled (1982), reached $110.5 million at auction. Like Basquiat, many street artists swap out their spray cans for more traditional painting materials, creating works on canvas that retain the spirit and motifs of traditional street art, such as cartoons, celebrities, and social critique. From RETNA’s meditative compositions inspired by ancient scripts to Eddie Martinez’s sophisticated gestural paintings, discover unique works on canvas to collect by today’s iconic street artists.
