LV - Axes

Zevs, CCCP - Liquidated Hammer and Sickle, mixed media on metal, melting yellow Soviet symbol on red background, symbolizing decay.

Liquitex on metal // Zevs’s CCCP - Liquidated Hammer and Sickle presents a powerful reinterpretation of the iconic Soviet symbol, using his signature “liquidation” style to transform the hammer and sickle into a dripping, deconstructed image. Rendered in vibrant yellow against a bold red background, the once-solid symbol appears to melt, with liquefied drips running down, suggesting decay or dissolution. This mixed media piece, created with Liquitex on metal, carries strong political and historical connotations, challenging viewers to consider the legacy and transformation of ideologies over time. Zevs, known for his street art background and provocative approach, uses this piece to question permanence, identity, and the power of symbols in a rapidly changing world.

What is Street art?

Street Art is artwork created and executed in public spaces, outside of traditional art venues. It gained popularity during the 1980s graffiti art boom and has since evolved into various forms and styles. Common forms of Street Art include pop-up art, sticker art, stencil graffiti, and street installations or sculptures. Terms like guerrilla art, neo-graffiti, post-graffiti, and urban art are often used interchangeably to describe this genre, which challenges conventional ideas about where and how art should be displayed.
