5 Art Prints That Are A Must-have For Your Collection

A true connoisseur of art knows what significance contemporary art holds in the minds of a beholder.

Modern day society must be all evolved, but it's the roots that encapsulate the true essence of how creativity stimulates the admirer. Among these roots, the most prominent is the genre of street art.

And no, it's not just about some spray paint splattered in a certain pattern on a brick wall. It's about the mind of the artist behind it that tells a story. A story so beautifully brought to colours that it gets etched into the viewer's mind. And just as the trend is, art lovers take pride in owning the prints of such masterpieces. Take a look at the listing below to make sure you have a richer collection of these masterpieces:

1.Slave Labour (Banksy)

The times we live in are controlled by power, technology and the human spirit. A reflection of these times is found in British graffiti artist Banksy's work 'Slave Labour'. A highly creative satire on modern day vices, the mural forms one of the most popular Banksy art prints. Very few online stores provide it in good print. And a fine collectible at that.

 2. Mickey Money Blood Red (Ben Allen)

The charms of Disney are endless, which is why Disney cartoons inspire countless artists across the world to this day. And nothing says precious like United Kingdom's artistic rebel Ben Allen's creation 'Mickey Money Blood Red'. The spray painted mouse against the dollar bills is bound to depict class and extravagance, all on the same canvas.

3. Conjuring (Eelus)

Coming to a more matted side of all things well-designed, UK-based street artist Eelus brings this sombre mood of a woman to life on absolute white matte paper. The detailing and the appeal are sure to make the beholder go wow.

4. Hope (Shepard Fairey)

The notorious creator of 'Andre the Giant has a Possé', Shepard Fairey prints are at their artistic best when they have an illustrated Barack Obama's face with the word 'Hope' written under it. The visually stunning poster has found its way into pop culture. It must find its way to your collection through online art sale websites as well.

5. Wall and Piece (Banksy)

Another one of Banksy's marvels is the mural that leaves the observer with perplexing questions and yet a visual delight - 'Wall and Piece'. You can browse through art collection shops, but Banksy prints for sale are to be bought only from trusted websites that provide you the authentic prints signed by the artist himself.
