His signature fusion of grayscale stencil work — set against explosive bursts of color, graffiti, tags, arrows and gestural mark-making — has defined an entirely new aesthetic language within the street art market. His work is instantly recognizable, and his editions sell out in seconds. Major collectors, institutions, athletes, musicians and top-tier contemporary art buyers aggressively pursue his work — demand is extraordinarily high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Scuba Diver” is one of Whatson’s most desired and celebrated editions — a *21-color screenprint* on wove paper, *hand signed, dated and numbered by the artist* in graphite pencil, complete with both the *publisher’s and the artist’s blind stamps*. The dramatic grayscale figure floating in a sea of vibrant color bomb chaos is pure Whatson — this is the exact visual DNA that built his market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe edition size is *250* and it was published by *Graffiti Prints* in 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is an absolute stunner in person — the detail, layering, crispness of the stenciling and the saturation of the color make it feel like an original painting. Works of this visual strength and scale are among the most investment-worthy Whatson editions — historically, his strongest images continue to appreciate dramatically on the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is in hand and will ship immediately from the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**APC ART is pleased to offer archival framing options upon request.**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**OFFERED EXCLUSIVELY BY APC ART** \u003cbr\u003e**MIA.
