2013 Signed Stamped Limited Edition of 500 Spray Paint Can Artwork
C215 – Atmosphere Blue Spray Paint Can Limited Edition by Montana MTN in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
The Atmosphere Blue spray paint can by French street artist C215, released in 2013 in collaboration with Montana Colors (MTN), stands as a rare artifact in the crossover between graffiti tools and fine art objects. Produced in a signed and stamped limited edition of 500, this piece is more than a collectible—it is a sculptural convergence of artist, medium, and message. The can is housed in a custom wooden display box etched with the MTN logo, elevating it from utilitarian container to curated artifact. The artwork featured on the can is a hyper-detailed stencil portrait, executed in C215’s distinctive photorealistic style, showcasing his mastery of facial expression and urban texture. This edition forms part of MTN’s collector series that honors the legacy of artists working directly within the street art movement by immortalizing their work on the very object most associated with their craft.
C215 and the Precision of Emotion in Urban Environments
C215, real name Christian Guémy, is a renowned French stencil artist whose work brings empathy and psychological depth to the public sphere. His portraits—often of overlooked individuals, elders, or anonymous faces—are rendered with sensitivity and astonishing technical skill. On the Atmosphere Blue can, the face depicted is intense and worn, etched with layers of detail that mirror the complexities of city life and personal experience. By placing this face directly onto a graffiti spray can, C215 not only honors the medium of street expression but also gives it a soul. His choice to focus on faces humanizes the object, transforming it from a symbol of rebellion or vandalism into a vessel of identity and memory. Within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this gesture aligns with the ongoing effort to dignify urban narrative through design and curation.
Montana MTN and the Evolution of Artist-Branded Tools
Montana Colors, based in Barcelona, is one of the most respected names in graffiti paint production. Their decision to collaborate with C215 for the Atmosphere Blue edition speaks to a larger movement in which graffiti culture and institutional recognition are no longer in opposition. MTN has used limited edition runs like this one to celebrate the artistry not only of the paint’s application but of its packaging. The can itself becomes a canvas, and the act of tagging or spraying is elevated to collectible fine art. The precision and richness of the printing on the aluminum body, combined with the texture of the custom box, reflect how deeply integrated these once-underground forms have become in contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. This edition blurs boundaries between the commercial tool and the finished piece.
Spray Can as Portrait, Artifact, and Symbol of Street Legacy
What makes Atmosphere Blue a significant object in the history of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork is its layered function. It is a tribute to process, to tool, and to the individual artist’s contribution to the visual culture of cities. The can may never be used to paint, yet it contains the story of what it represents: visibility, expression, and resistance. C215’s ability to bring life into even the smallest object is evident here. His stencil work, typically found on doors, alley walls, and decaying surfaces, finds new permanence on this sealed vessel. It holds energy, potential, and identity. The Atmosphere Blue edition is not just rare because of its production number—it is rare because it marks a moment where the history of graffiti becomes visible, tangible, and preserved, not in galleries, but in the hand-held language of the street.
