LILKOOL – “THE REBEL”
Limited Edition Print Release | December 11
Four Works - 30 Editions Each | Printed on museum-grade Hahnemühle German Etching paper
In the charged, graffiti-inflected playground of his Brooklyn and Los Angeles studios, LILKOOL - born Joshua Maupin - weaves provocative visual narratives where pop-culture, satire, and dreamlike disorder collide. His new collection of his most iconic works, The Rebel, is an open declaration of defiance: a kaleidoscopic protest against complacency and the mundane, rooted in the artist’s deep unease with how pop culture can slowly homogenize society.
Each of the four works in The Rebel will be released as a limited edition of just 30 museum-grade prints, signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Printed on Hahnemühle German Etching paper, they preserve the vivid energy and uncompromising clarity of LILKOOL’s originals - the saturated color fields, the bold outlines, the textured tension between cartoon whimsy and incisive commentary. The result: pieces that feel alive, immediate, and unmistakably raw.
Across this collection, LILKOOL draws from a broad set of references - classic cartoons, 90s nostalgia, street graffiti, and Pop Art - yet he never imitates. Instead, he recontextualizes: suburban interiors become surreal stages, cheerful characters warp into grotesque jesters, and familiar scenes twist into twisted parables.
The Rebel doesn’t ask for passive observation. It demands engagement. It invites the viewer into a world that’s chaotic, funny, unsettling - a world that reflects the absurdity of pop culture’s grip, the contradictions of modern life, and the explosive potential of imaginative rebellion. Whether hung in a private residence, a boutique hotel lobby, or a gallery wall, these works transform space - energizing it, provoking it, subverting it.
Joshua Maupin’s journey - from Dallas to Brooklyn to Los Angeles, from graffiti-writer to internationally recognized multimedia artist - infuses his work with grit and authenticity. Over the years he’s expanded across painting, illustration, murals, photography, and fashion collaborations - yet always remained true to his signature language: flattened, visceral colors; clean outlines; and a fearless collision of nostalgia, critique, and absurdity.
On December 11, the full The Rebel collection - four archival prints - goes live. These editions are final: once sold, they will never be reproduced again. For those interested in owning a piece of this charged vision of modern disobedience and creative revolt, early registration is highly encouraged.

"MICKEY GAVE YOU FLOWERS"
The collector who acquires this original Maupin painting will receive a complimentary medium sized fine art print.
A vibrant fusion of humor, nostalgia, and symbolic storytelling, Mickey Gave You Flowers is one of Joshua Maupin’s most striking and playful works. The composition radiates with bold color and surreal charm—a bouquet of lush tropical blooms springing from a vessel adorned with an unmistakable cartoon-like face, equal parts whimsical and uncanny.
At first encounter, the piece feels like a dreamlike collision of pop culture and still life tradition. The oversized blossoms, rendered in vivid yellows, greens, and pinks, rise with theatrical energy, while the vase—bearing a mischievous grin—grounds the work in a subversive, almost totemic presence. Maupin blurs the line between innocence and irony, creating an image that is both celebratory and quietly provocative.
The work hums with layered tension: a floral arrangement as an offering, a symbol of life and joy, placed in dialogue with a face so deeply embedded in collective imagination. It is a painting about memory, cultural icons, and the strange, enduring power of images that shape us.
Printed on museum-grade Hahnemühle German Etching paper, the textures and tonal depth of Mickey Gave You Flowers are preserved with striking fidelity, ensuring the vibrancy of each brushstroke and flourish.
Available in three sizes, with only 30 editions released, this piece is a bold statement for collectors—an artwork that balances wit and wonder, while inviting viewers into Maupin’s layered visual language.

Birch Grove Part 1
20 editions will be released for each size.
Birch Grove I is a visceral meditation on rhythm, memory, and the organic architecture of the natural world. In this piece, Kinga Czerska conjures a quiet intensity—white verticals reminiscent of birch trunks slice through fields of textured greys, blacks, and ochres, creating a sense of depth that is both grounded and ephemeral.
There’s a coded elegance to the layering: scraped paint, gestural marks, and splashes of color that feel like echoes of the forest floor or fragments of light filtered through winter trees. The palette is restrained but luminous, allowing negative space to speak as loudly as the form. Within the visual restraint lies a dynamic tension—a push and pull between chaos and order, silence and resonance.
The composition invites deep looking. At first glance, a grove. Then, a series of vertical rhythms. Then, something more abstract—like memory made visible, or nature deconstructed and reassembled through a contemporary lens.
Printed on museum-grade Hahnemühle German Etching paper, Birch Grove I preserves every tactile detail of the original—from the scraped surfaces to the painterly impasto—offering a viewing experience that is as textural as it is emotional.
Each print in the Birch Grove series is available in three different sizes, with only 20 editions per size, making them highly collectible. Every print is signed, numbered, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Birch Grove Part 2
20 editions will be released for each size.
Birch Grove II extends Kinga Czerska’s exploration of natural rhythm and spatial complexity, offering a deeper dive into the tension between organic repetition and expressive abstraction. With vertical forms recalling a dense stand of birch trees, this work feels immersive—like stepping into a memory of the woods where texture, light, and silence converge.
White columns streak through layers of slate, charcoal, and gold, not as literal trees, but as emblems of structure and time. The surface is alive with movement—scratches, drips, and gestural scrawls that hint at both erosion and emergence. Czerska’s process feels intuitive yet deliberate, mapping the unseen currents beneath still surfaces.
There’s a quiet turbulence in this piece. Every line feels like a pause; every mark, a breath. It balances the serenity of repetition with the unpredictability of the human hand. Look closer, and forms begin to dissolve—birch becomes code, forest becomes abstraction, and the image becomes a space of reflection.
Printed on museum-grade Hahnemühle German Etching paper, Birch Grove II captures the full material depth of the original work. From delicate tonal shifts to the tactile presence of scraped paint, each edition offers an experience that is both physical and emotional.
Each print in the Birch Grove series is available in three different sizes, with only 20 editions per size, making them highly collectible. Every print is signed, numbered, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
