  • Downward Trajectory Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Downward Trajectory Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Downward Trajectory Hand-Pulled 4-Color Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 24x24 “Downward Trajectory is one of the many new works featured in my 30th-anniversary show in Los Angeles, “Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent and New Works,” -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey's work is highly political and social, not only because he is incorporating politicians and slogans in it but more importantly because the artist is primarily interested in approaching as many people as possible, exhibiting his work in the covers of the books, which we read, in the music albums, to which we listen, and on the walls of the streets, where we walk. “If I put art in a daring spot, it’s more moving to the viewer and demonstrates my conviction.”, he says. After all, Fairey, in many cases, directly expresses his views on politics and society, whenever he is given the chance. For example, in the aftermath of the “Hope” poster, he commented the following: “Obama has had a really tough time, but there have been a lot of things that he's compromised on that I never would have expected. I mean, drones and domestic spying are the last things I would have thought [he'd support]”. The political aspect of his work can, also, be seen under the spectrum of Fairey’s activism and humanitarian activity. Many of his works have been created as part of activism campaigns or were sold to support causes relevant to the Arts, animal rights, poverty, medical research, the environment, etc. The artist, however, doesn’t identify himself as an activist: “People ask me if I’m an activist, and my answer is no. I’m an artist with a point of view, but I want to do my part to supplement activist causes I believe in. I feel fortunate to connect with people who find my imagery useful and help spread it.”

  • Bias by Numbers- 30X42 Large Format Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Bias by Numbers- 30X42 Large Format Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Bias by Numbers- Large Format 30X42 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed & Numbered, Bias by Numbers 30 inches by 42 inches Edition of 89 June 3, 2019 “Bias by Numbers” addresses racial bias in policing, criminal justice, and media culture. Racial bias in policing and criminal justice has a long history, including stats like – black people being five times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people, and four times more likely to be subjected to unnecessary use of force, or four times more likely to be killed by the police when unarmed. The statistics revealing racial bias in prosecution and sentencing are compelling as well. Though recreational drug use is equally common in both predominantly black communities and predominantly white communities, convictions for drug possession are almost six times higher for blacks. Blacks frequently receive longer prison sentences than whites contributing to African Americans being incarcerated at more than five times the rate of whites.

  • Resist Colonialism Silkscreen Print by Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas

    Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas Resist Colonialism Silkscreen Print by Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas

    Resist Colonialism 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Ernesto Yerena Montejano (Hecho Con Ganas) Famous Mexican American Pop Artwork Artist. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Size 18x24 "Resist Colonialism" is a commanding visual statement by Ernesto Yerena Montejano, a name synonymous with vibrant expressions of cultural identity and political activism within the contemporary art scene. This 2-color hand-pulled limited edition silkscreen print, produced under his studio label Hecho Con Ganas, captures the essence of resistance against colonial powers and their historical narratives. Created in 2019, it is a testament to Yerena Montejano's dedication to fusing art with social commentary. The artwork, sized at 18x24 inches, is a limited edition with only 100 signed and numbered pieces, adding an exclusive aspect to its acquisition. The artist's Mexican-American heritage profoundly influences the imagery and themes present in his works, and "Resist Colonialism" is no exception. The stark contrast of the red and black ink, a hallmark of silkscreen printing, resonates with the simplicity yet power of revolutionary posters, echoing the visual language of protest and propaganda throughout history. Yerena Montejano's choice of symbols, juxtaposing a pirate ship bearing both the emblems of hazardous material and the iconic skull and crossbones, underscores the danger and death associated with colonial conquests. The backdrop, an unyielding red circle, could be interpreted as a reference to the rising sun, symbolizing a new dawn of awareness and opposition to colonialism. The inclusion of the raised fist, a universal sign of solidarity and resistance, further amplifies the print’s message, urging onlookers to acknowledge past transgressions and take a stand against the lingering effects of colonialism. This piece of art resonates within the pop art, street art, and graffiti art movements due to its accessible yet poignant visual language. It uses the aesthetics everyday in these art forms to engage the public discourse on decolonization and indigenous rights. As with many of his works, Yerena Montejano's "Resist Colonialism" print is not just a piece of art to be admired for its aesthetic merits but also serves as a mobilizing agent that encourages viewers to reflect on complex socio-political issues. His ability to distill fervent political messaging into compelling graphic art has cemented his status as a crucial voice in the conversation about identity, culture, and activism within the art world.

AS220 is important to me because they have cultivated a creative community that continues to have a profoundly transformative impact on the city. I’m inspired by Anjel’s dedication to this organization, where she’s been a member since she was 13 years old, learning from a diverse set of communities and facilitating access to opportunities for young people across the city of Providence. Thank you Anjel and AS220 for all that you do for the people of Rhode Island!⁠" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY In the vibrant intersection where art meets activism, Shepard Fairey’s silkscreen print stands as a testament to the power of creative expression as a tool for social change. Released in 2019, this limited edition piece, signed and numbered with a run of 450, encapsulates Fairey’s longstanding commitment to community engagement through art. The 18x24 artwork, hand-pulled on Cream Speckletone fine art paper, is not only a visual treat but a beacon of inspiration, embodying the themes of creativity, equity, and justice. At the heart of this print is a portrait of Anjel Newmann, a figure who represents the enduring impact of AS220, a non-profit community arts organization in Providence, Rhode Island. Newmann's involvement with AS220 began at the tender age of 13, and her journey to becoming the Director of Programs and Youth Director showcases the nurturing power of such institutions in cultivating artistic talent and leadership among the youth. Fairey, having collaborated with AS220 since the 1990s, celebrates not only the individual journey of Newmann but also the broader ethos of the organization. AS220’s pivotal role in fostering an inclusive arts community and providing a platform for marginalized voices is central to Fairey's narrative. The artwork itself is a visual confluence of Fairey's signature style with poignant messaging. Words like "Creativity," "Equity," and "Justice" are prominently featured, aligning with the larger message that Fairey perpetuates through his work—art as a mechanism for societal upliftment and personal liberation. His use of bold, contrasting colors and geometric patterns draws the eye, compelling the viewer to contemplate the interconnectedness of the artistic elements with the profound themes presented. Fairey’s choice of Anjel Newmann as the subject speaks volumes about the role models that inspire his work. By highlighting Newmann's dedication to AS220, Fairey not only honors her and the organization but also emphasizes the importance of creative communities in driving positive social change. This print transcends its aesthetic appeal, standing as a symbol of hope and a call to action, urging viewers to rise above challenges and contribute to the collective journey towards a just society. It is a celebration of Fairey’s enduring relationship with AS220 and his unwavering belief in art as a catalyst for progress.

Propaganda
Propaganda, historically known for its influential nature in shaping public opinions and ideas, has been a prominent subject in contemporary graffiti art and street art prints. Graffiti and street art have long been recognized as powerful tools for expressing social and political messages, sparking dialogues and challenging the status quo. The incorporation of propaganda as a topic in this medium demonstrates the artists' keen understanding of its impact on society and their desire to subvert or critique its pervasive influence. One of the driving forces behind incorporating propaganda into graffiti and street art prints is the artists' motivation to challenge mainstream narratives and question established ideologies. Through visually striking, thought-provoking, and often controversial images, these artists aim to stimulate critical thinking and encourage viewers to reevaluate their own beliefs and perceptions. In many cases, the artists employ irony, satire, and parody to highlight the absurdities and deceptions within political and media landscapes. Moreover, graffiti and street art prints featuring propaganda themes tend to draw attention to the power dynamics at play in societies across the globe. By showcasing propaganda imagery and slogans, artists expose the manipulative tactics employed by governments, corporations, and other influential entities to shape public opinion, manipulate emotions, and further their agendas. In this way, graffiti and street art prints serve as a reminder of the pervasive nature of propaganda, urging viewers to stay vigilant and critical of the messages they encounter. The use of propaganda in graffiti art and street art prints also has the potential to empower marginalized voices and communities. By appropriating symbols, slogans, and images associated with propaganda, artists can subvert dominant narratives and give a voice to the underrepresented. This act of resistance and reclaiming is particularly relevant in the context of political oppression, social injustice, and systemic inequality, where art has long been a potent means of protest and self-expression. Furthermore, the exploration of propaganda themes in graffiti art and street art prints enables artists to reflect on the historical and cultural contexts in which they exist. By drawing inspiration from past events and iconic propaganda campaigns, these works create a visual language that transcends geographic boundaries and generations. In doing so, they encourage viewers to consider the cyclical nature of history and the recurring patterns of manipulation and control. The intersection of propaganda and graffiti art and street art prints is not only visually compelling, but it also highlights the powerful role that art can play in initiating conversations, challenging beliefs, and fostering change. By exploring propaganda as a topic, graffiti and street artists demonstrate their commitment to addressing pressing societal issues, providing an alternative perspective to mainstream narratives, and pushing the boundaries of creative expression. Graffiti art and street art prints featuring propaganda themes have become increasingly popular and impactful in recent years. By incorporating these themes, artists can engage in critical discourse, question established ideologies, empower marginalized voices, and connect with historical and cultural contexts. This unique fusion of propaganda and graffiti and street art provides an invaluable avenue for sparking debate, inspiring critical thinking, and promoting social change.
