Street Art Cities

The art piece is a large-scale graphic design that functions as a mural or banner for the IDĒL HAWAII brand. It features a stylized pineapple with a green, spiky top, but its body is composed entirely of small yellow skulls. The brand's name, "IDĒL HAWAII," is written vertically along the side. This piece was created for the POW! WOW! Hawaii festival, a mural and street art event held in Honolulu, which provides a public platform for artists to create new works. The design is a blend of local symbolism and an urban, edgy aesthetic.

The artist behind the piece is Jean-Paul Gedeon. He is an entrepreneur from Hawaii who began his career with IDĒL HAWAII, a lifestyle brand that started as a high school passion project. This business later grew into a graphic design, printing, and advertising company, and eventually evolved into JPG MEDIA. His background includes a focus on E-Business and design from the University of Hawaii and Kapiʻolani Community College. He has received awards for his companies and is active in local business organizations.
