  • Sub-Standard Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Sub-Standard Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Sub-Standard Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 5-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 12x24 Silkscreen Print "This print, “Sub-Standard,” is a comment on the relationship between corporate greed, fossil fuels, and the warming of the planet and collapsing ecosystems. Standard operating, pushed by players like Standard Oil and its many offshoots, should be redefined as sub-standard. If we want to maintain the standard of health our planet needs to avoid catastrophe, we can’t allow big oil to put profits before the planet and profits before people (as well as many other threatened species). Keep in mind that big oil, which is already very profitable, is subsidized by you, the taxpayer, for up to $50 billion per year. In contrast, renewable energy sources are subsidized for only a quarter of that amount. We need to push for change. A portion of proceeds from this print goes to Greenpeace USA‘s efforts to fight for a healthy planet.⁠" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY The silkscreen print titled "Sub-Standard" by Shepard Fairey, part of his OBEY series, is a compelling piece of contemporary art that casts a critical eye on the pressing issue of environmental degradation as it relates to corporate influence and fossil fuel dependency. Limited to a release of 550 signed and numbered editions, the artwork is a bold statement in both form and substance, pulling together the aesthetics of pop, street, and graffiti art onto a cream speckletone fine art paper. Measuring 12x24 inches, each hand-pulled 5-color print stands as a testament to Fairey's technical skill and his commitment to social commentary. Shepard Fairey, a prominent figure in the world of pop culture and street art, uses his medium to challenge the status quo and incite thought about pressing global issues. "Sub-Standard" specifically targets the consequences of the fossil fuel industry's actions on climate change and ecological destruction. Fairey's reference to Standard Oil and its successors points to a legacy of environmental policy that prioritizes profit over the planet's health, indicating a dire need for change in corporate practices. The artwork employs powerful symbolism, with the juxtaposition of an industrial motif against a backdrop that signifies the natural world in distress, reflecting Fairey's narrative about the conflict between economic interests and environmental stewardship. A significant aspect of this artwork is its activism component. A portion of the proceeds from "Sub-Standard" is directed towards Greenpeace USA, funding the organization's efforts to combat environmental harm and promote sustainability. This financial support aligns with the artwork's message, creating a direct link between art, activism, and tangible support for ecological well-being. Fairey's choice to highlight the discrepancy between subsidies for fossil fuels and renewable energy sources in his statement further amplifies the print's call to action, advocating for a reevaluation of where public funds are invested in the context of long-term planetary health. In the landscape of modern art, "Sub-Standard" by Shepard Fairey stands out as a piece that not only captures the aesthetic edge of the OBEY art movement but also embodies a deep social and environmental consciousness, driving the conversation forward in the realm of art activism.

Arm Hand & Fist
Graffiti and street art have long been a powerful medium of expression, breaking the boundaries of traditional art forms by allowing artists to showcase their talent in urban landscapes. A popular motif seen in graffiti and street art prints is the human hand, fist, and arm. These artistic representations can evoke a myriad of emotions, spark conversations, and be visually captivating. The hand, fist, and arm are often used as symbols of unity, resistance, and empowerment. In graffiti and street art prints, they represent the collective power of the people, defying the forces that seek to oppress and silence them. The clenched fist, in particular, has become an iconic symbol of solidarity, transcending racial, cultural, and geographical boundaries. Artists often incorporate these elements into their work, sometimes in the form of stencils, murals, or wheatpaste prints. One notable example of such representation is the world-famous mural "The Power of a United Fist" painted in the 1980s in a historically significant district of San Francisco. The piece features an enormous fist made up of multiple hands, illustrating the strength of unity in the face of adversity. This mural has since inspired countless other works of street art and has become an integral part of the global movement for social justice. In addition to their symbolic nature, hands, fists, and arms can also bring a sense of dynamism and movement to street art prints. The inherent intricacies of these body parts offer artists a unique opportunity to showcase their skills, as well as to convey emotions, thoughts, or stories. For instance, an outstretched arm reaching for the sky can symbolize aspiration or defiance, while hands touching or interlocking can signify connection and support. Moreover, the art of handstyle, or the technique of creating stylized lettering using one's hands, is a fundamental component of graffiti culture. Derived from calligraphy and sign painting, handstyles are often characterized by fluid lines, varying thicknesses, and elaborate flourishes. In this context, the hand itself becomes an essential tool for creating unique and captivating graffiti prints, often distinguishing one artist from another based on the distinctiveness of their individual style. An interesting aspect of hand, fist, and arm depictions in graffiti art is the fusion of different styles and mediums. Artists may incorporate elements of pop culture, political imagery, or personal experiences to add depth and context to their work. In doing so, they not only capture the essence of a specific moment in time but also invite viewers to explore and interpret the art based on their perspectives. Some notable graffiti artists who have expertly utilized the hand, fist, and arm motif in their work include Shepard Fairey, known for his "Obey Giant" series, and the mysterious British street artist Banksy, who has incorporated these symbols in several of his thought-provoking pieces. Both artists have successfully used these elements to make their work resonate with audiences around the world, while still retaining a sense of authenticity and cultural relevance. The hand, fist, and arm serve as powerful motifs in graffiti and street art prints, symbolizing resistance, unity, and empowerment. The versatility of these elements enables artists to create striking visuals that spark conversations, challenge societal norms, and offer a glimpse into the minds of the creators. As graffiti and street art continue to evolve and expand their reach, we can anticipate that these symbols will remain an integral part of the genre, captivating audiences and inspiring future generations of artists.
