Untitled
Work Summary & Collector Notes
This 2014 Untitled work is a hand-painted multiple in an edition of 30, combining screen print with hand finishing at roughly 24 x 25 inches. Each impression is individually hand-painted, meaning no two are identical. The screen-print base plus aerosol or paint overlay places it in Cope2's more labor-intensive, unique-per-piece output.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Limited edition of 30 Hand painted prints 24x25. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
Hand-painted multiples occupy a coveted middle ground between reproducible prints and one-of-a-kind works. By adding individual paint to each of 30 screen prints, Cope2 gives every buyer a distinct object while preserving a coherent series, a format collectors often value above straight edition prints.
Collector Perspective
With only 30 examples and hand painting on each, this sits in a scarcer, higher-craft tier. The unique treatment per piece means condition and the specific hand-finish matter to value. Confirm signature and numbering, and inspect the painted layer closely, since variation is intrinsic rather than a flaw.
Historical Context
Produced in 2014, this untitled multiple reflects Cope2's studio-era embrace of hybrid techniques, layering hand aerosol over screen printing. The approach mirrors how street writers translated the immediacy of spray paint into collectible formats without surrendering the handmade mark that defines graffiti.

FAQ
Is each piece the same?
No. Each of the 30 is individually hand-painted over a screen-print base, so every impression differs.
What techniques are combined?
It merges screen printing with hand finishing and hand painting, making it a mixed-media multiple rather than a flat print.
How scarce is it?
The edition is 30, tighter than most of Cope2's flat-print releases.
