Mart Signed - TRAP

Construction material Gallery value: Original stencil works by Mart Signed, not prints, are offered through European galleries with indicative prices ranging roughly from €3,000 to €4,000, testifying to the positioning and collecting interest reached by the artist’s work. Technique: Spray stencil and mixed media on materials recovered from the street, selected to preserve the identity and authenticity of the street art language. Dimensions: The indicated dimensions refer to the specific piece offered and should be considered approximate due to the shape and irregular perimeter of the fragment. Certificate of authenticity: Included and signed by the artist. Broken Wall Broken Wall stems from Mart Signed’s exploration of the relationship between street art, matter, and urban memory. The project brings a fragment of street language into homes, galleries, and private collections, transforming a surface marked by time into a contemporary artwork. The wall is not merely the support for the image, but becomes an integral part of the artwork. Its surface, the ruptures, the traces of time, and the natural characteristics of the material preserve the link with the urban context from which street art arises. The fracture thus becomes an element of the artistic language: the boundary between the street and the exhibition space is broken, and the urban fragment finds a new placement. The artwork Each journey is marked by a final gesture. A single brush stroke transforms 22 into 33, turning a common number into a symbol. An essential gesture that goes beyond the image: sacrifice, creation, hope, and memory meet in a single final sign. The artwork does not impose a single answer, but invites each observer to find their own interpretation. The stencil is created directly on the support: this is not a print or reproduction. The artwork depicted in the photographs is exactly what the collector will receive. Materials and authenticity Materials recovered from the street are chosen to maintain a living connection with the original street art language. Marks, abrasions, surface variations, irregularities, and natural imperfections are not defects, but elements belonging to the material’s history and the artwork’s identity. These characteristics are deliberately preserved and integrated into the creative process. The work is signed, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist, and delivered ready to hang. The frame is not included, unless otherwise indicated for the specific piece. Instagram and project participation The artwork’s journey can continue after purchase. Collectors can share their work on Instagram by tagging @martsigned and using the hashtag #MartSigned. Works correctly tagged may be reshared by the artist through their channels, showing the different destinations reached by the pieces and creating a direct connection between artist, collector, and audience. Periodically, special online initiatives, giveaways, or small street-art-related freebies may also be organized through social networks. Participation is voluntary and independent from the purchase of the work. Any terms and conditions will be communicated through the artist’s official channels. The artist Mart Signed is an Italian street artist active internationally. His works are part of private collections in several countries, and his artistic research develops around the concept “Where Are You Street Art?”: bringing the language and material of the street into homes, galleries, private collections, and spaces traditionally distant from the urban context. Over the years, Mart Signed has developed international presence through collaborations and relationships with various art-world entities. His research connects street art, urban memory, recovered materials, and spatial transformation. In 2023, Mart Signed also participated in a documentary about Banksy and street-art culture. Shipping The artwork is shipped via specialized couriers managed by Mail Boxes Etc. Each piece is carefully packaged, protected, and insured, with particular attention to the most delicate parts and to the support’s irregular shape. Shipping includes full tracking from dispatch to delivery. In case of a high volume of shipments, preparation and delivery may require a few additional days. For any shipping information, you can contact the artist directly via the platform. Edition and uniqueness Broken Wall comprises a limited series of 20 unique works. Each piece is produced individually and no two pieces can be identical. The shape of the support, the rupture, the surface, the marks, the imperfections, and the material characteristics naturally vary from one work to another, making every piece unrepeatable. The 20 works share the same artistic project and core concept, but each maintains its own physical and visual identity. They are not 20 copies or reproductions of the same work, but 20 unique and different pieces, all belonging to the Broken Wall series. Each work is identified by a specific code printed on the certificate of authenticity.
