    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Floral Takeover 2017 Cream Red Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Floral Takeover 2017 Cream Red Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 2-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2017 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 200 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "I'm always creating new patterns for my street installs and fine art pieces. I used to buy discontinued wallpaper, but now I design and print my own. These look nice as stand-alone prints, not just repeat patterns, so I'm releasing a 200-print edition of four versions. Buy a couch to match… coming soon… just kidding!" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY. The "Floral Takeover 2017 Cream Red Silkscreen Print" is a significant entry in the oeuvre of Shepard Fairey, an artist whose work is synonymous with the intersection of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. This piece is part of a limited edition of 200, each signed and numbered, denoting its value as a collectible. With dimensions of 18x24 inches, the silkscreen print is substantial enough to make a statement on any wall it adorns. Fairey, with his characteristic OBEY brand, has long been a provocateur, blending commercial art techniques with street art's subversive edge, and this work is a clear example of that fusion. Fairey's approach to creating new patterns for street installations and fine art pieces harks back to his early days when he would use discontinued wallpaper as a backdrop for his work. The transition to designing and printing his patterns demonstrates a progression in his artistic control and the evolution of his signature style. The 'Floral Takeover series showcases the artist's ability to adapt elements traditionally associated with interior design and repurpose them within the context of street art and pop culture. By doing so, Fairey blurs the lines between art as a purely aesthetic commodity and its function as a commentary on societal norms. In this print, Fairey plays with a cream speckle tone fine art paper that gives the work a textured, organic feel, contrasting with the precise and deliberate two-color silkscreen technique. The choice of cream as the base color amplifies the boldness of the red floral pattern, allowing the design to leap off the paper with a vivacity that captures the viewer's eye. The juxtaposition of color and form symbolizes Fairey's work, where contrast often serves as a visual metaphor for broader cultural and political contrasts. Moreover, the 'Floral Takeover' print series reflects Fairey's humor and his recognition of the interplay between art and the commercial world, as hinted at in his playful suggestion to "buy a couch to match." This statement encapsulates the artist's awareness of the commodification of art in pop culture and his role within that process. Through works like this, Fairey continues to challenge perceptions of what street art can be, bridging the gap between graffiti's rebel spirit and gallery pieces' polished finish.

In the contemporary context, Artist Proofs like "Bitter Lemon AP" serve as a symbol of prestige and rarity, often more sought after than standard editions due to their limited number and the closer involvement of the artist in their production.

Luxury
Luxury is a term that has been associated with wealth, excess, and indulgence. It is often depicted in the form of high-end brands, expensive jewelry, luxurious cars, and lavish lifestyles. Graffiti art and pop art have both explored the concept of luxury in their own unique ways, using the medium of art to comment on society's fascination with wealth and excess. Graffiti art is a form of street art that involves the use of spray paint, stencils, and markers to create bold, colorful images on public surfaces such as walls, buildings, and bridges. Graffiti artists often use their art to make political statements, express their personal beliefs, or simply to beautify the urban environment. However, luxury is also a common theme in graffiti art, as many artists use the medium to comment on the wealth gap and consumerism. One example of luxury in graffiti art is the work of Banksy, a renowned street artist known for his politically charged and socially conscious art. In his piece "Kissing Coppers," Banksy depicts two police officers engaged in a romantic kiss, with their helmets masking their identities. The artwork was created in Brighton, UK, in 2004 and has since become an iconic symbol of rebellion against authority. Another example of luxury in graffiti art is the work of Mr. Brainwash, a French street artist and filmmaker. His art often incorporates images of celebrities and luxury brands, such as Chanel and Louis Vuitton, to comment on the excess and consumerism of modern society. In one of his pieces, "Life is Beautiful," Mr. Brainwash created a mixed media collage featuring Marilyn Monroe holding a Chanel handbag. Pop art is a form of art that emerged in the 1950s and 60s, characterized by its use of popular culture and everyday objects as subject matter. Pop artists often appropriated images from mass media, advertising, and consumer culture to create works that challenged traditional notions of high art. Luxury was a common theme in pop art, as many artists used the medium to comment on the commercialization of art and the rise of consumerism. One of the most famous pop art pieces is Andy Warhol's "Campbell's Soup Cans," which consists of 32 individual canvases, each featuring a different flavor of Campbell's Soup. The artwork was created in 1962 and has since become an iconic symbol of pop art and consumer culture. Another example of luxury in pop art is the work of Jeff Koons, an American artist known for his sculptures and installations featuring everyday objects such as balloon animals and vacuum cleaners. In his series "Luxury and Degradation," Koons created sculptures of luxury goods such as liquor bottles and cigarettes, commenting on the glamorization of harmful behaviors and the marketing of addiction. Luxury has been a common theme in both graffiti art and pop art, as artists use their medium to comment on the excess and consumerism of modern society. Whether it is through the use of luxury brands, celebrities, or everyday objects, artists have found ways to critique and challenge the notion of wealth and excess through their art. Both graffiti art and pop art continue to inspire and challenge artists today, as they seek to use their art to make a statement about the world around them.
