    Shepard Fairey- OBEY AK-47 Lotus- Large Format Serigraph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    AK-47 Lotus- Large Format Limited Edition Hand Pulled 4-Color Serigraph Print on Custom Cotton Coventry Rag Paper by Graffiti Street Artist Shepard Fairey. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 30x41 In the rich tapestry of modern art, the AR-15 Lily serigraph by Shepard Fairey holds a distinct place. A contemporary masterpiece, this large-format print, sized at an impressive 30x41, is a testament to Fairey's impeccable craftsmanship and profound insight into social issues. A product of the year 2022, the AR-15 Lily, alongside its counterpart, the AK-47 Lotus, reflects Fairey's inspiration from the iconic Vietnam War protesters. These brave souls, in a symbolic gesture of peace, would insert flowers into the gun barrels of the National Guard, who were present to curtail their passionate calls for peace. Shepard Fairey, a renowned graffiti street artist, is known for intertwining pop culture, street art, and pressing social issues in his works, and this piece is no exception. His choice of a 4-color serigraph technique for this limited edition of 100 pieces exudes exclusivity and class. The print, meticulously crafted on Custom Cotton Coventry Rag Paper, evokes feelings of nostalgia and the age-old conflict between violence and peace. Fairey’s perspective, as he expresses, is deeply pacifistic. His work is not just an artistic expression but a call for diplomacy and harmony, both on international terrains and domestic fronts. While he does not challenge the Second Amendment, his emphasis is on reducing unnecessary deaths due to gun violence. In a world where the lines between art and activism often blur, Fairey's commitment to supporting causes shines through. A portion of the proceeds from this artwork, for instance, aids Brady United, an organization dedicated to preventing gun violence. The AR-15 Lily is not just a piece of art; it's a bold statement, a call for reflection, and a testament to Fairey’s unwavering commitment to promoting peace. "The AK-47 Lotus and AR-15 Lily large format serigraphs are inspired by Vietnam War protesters who would put flowers in the gun barrels of the National Guard who were brought in to suppress their protests for peace. I’m a pacifist, whether that means finding diplomatic solutions to prevent and avoid war internationally or finding diplomatic solutions to prevent and avoid gun violence at home. I’m not anti- Second Amendment, so trolls can calm down… I’m not interested in macho blathering, I just want fewer people to die unnecessarily. Brady United is doing good work preventing gun violence so they will receive a portion of proceeds from these two prints. Thanks for caring.⁠" -Shepard Fairey

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Flint Eye Alert Globe Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Flint Eye Alert Globe 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on French True White Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey Artwork. 2017 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 450 Size 18x24 “This piece is based on a painting I did for my ‘Earth Crisis’ show in Paris. The entire body of work for that show used these shades of blue/turquoise as a connection to the air and water that is essential to sustaining life on planet Earth. This piece is more specifically about the idea that we need to see what is right in front of us, that we are dependent on nature and I used the blooming flower as a symbol of both beauty and growth. If we keep ruining the air and water, things won’t grow, not to mention we’ll all get sick.”

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.
