    Shepard Fairey- OBEY The Greed Depression Large Format Silkscreen Print by NoName x Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    The Greed Depression Large Format Silkscreen Print by NoName x Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Deckled Archival Cotton Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 80 Artwork Size 23.75x31.5 Silkscreen Print "My friend No Name and I collaborated recently on a print inspired by my cover for George Orwell’s “Down and Out in Paris and London” and our mutual irritation with greed and the brutality of many aspects of capitalism. No Name and I are both frustrated by the forces which convince much of the public to fall in line with a system that grinds them (and most of us) in its gears, and contributes to feelings of insecurity. With that in mind, don’t buy this print if you should use the money for something better or nothing at all. Should you think it over and still want a print, your money will support No Name’s public art endeavors and survival within the gears of capitalism… oh, and mine too! We both appreciate the support. No Name wrote about the print in greater depth, so I’ll let him take it from here!" -Shepard Fairey "I was introduced to Georg Orwell’s novels back in the late ’90s through my english teacher, an insignificant-looking sarcastic little man, who mantra-like implanted us the adage “use your common sense.” Nearly one decade later, I rediscovered Orwell’s books – and thoughts – through the appealing cover layout design by the kindred spirit street art activist Shepard Fairey, who I’m glad to call a friend today for many years. Shepard and I were discussing his illustration for “Down and Out” which he actually, for some reason, hadn’t made as a print edition yet. Due to the fact that Orwell’s dystopian books were/are one of the leading inspirations for our philosophy and work, Shepard offered to team up and use the illustration for a collaboration." -NoNAME

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.
