    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Factory Stacks- Endless Power Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Factory Stacks- Endless Power 6-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed by Shepard Fairey Numbered 18x24 inches. Screenprint on thick cream Speckletone paper. Numbered edition of 350. "These “Factory Stacks” images combine the austere, angular power of factory architecture with graphic elements commenting on what we promote and embrace as a society even when those things are destructive. The fossil fuel industries have tremendous power economically, but we now know that not only are fossil fuel sources finite but that using them is terrible for climate change and, therefore, the eco-systems that sustain life on our planet. Unfortunately, due to the political power of these industries and public apathy about climate change, the government subsidizes the fossil fuel industries for billions even as they damage the environment. The government works for the citizens, so the choice is ours. Do we support endless power for wealthy fossil fuel corporations? Or policies that put the earth first with the planet before profits? Please read Naomi Klein’s THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING to better understand the conflict between economic interests and climate change. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this print will go to Greenpeace to fight climate change. Thanks for caring.” – Shepard

    Money and Power- Yellow Hand-Pulled 1-Color Silkscreen Print on Hand Deckled 290gsm Arches Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 18x18 "Money and Power have become primary drivers in the modern world, pushing us toward a corrupt society. The days when our leaders looked out for the people's interests have become a thing of the past—replaced by the strong man who squashes the voices of dissent to set things straight. Money elects leaders; in return, they owe a debt to the people that put them in Power—enacting our new public policy of greed and gangster capitalism. We slowly accept corruption, Law slowly fades away, and people begin to feel like democracy and a fair and equitable society were always just an illusion, a dream from the past that never really even existed." -Cleon Peterson

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY New Clear Power Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    New Clear Power 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 350 Artwork Size 18x24 "New Clear Power, my first solo art show in Germany (@amuseum_Munich) addresses systems, forms, and notions of power that we must all carefully consider as we pursue our vision for an ideal personal and collective future. In my visual strategy, I choose colors, patterns, and icons that powerfully engage the viewer, and I write the text for my pieces using words that have the power of clear and concise communication. The concept of power is almost always present in my art. Forms of power addressed in the subject matter of New Clear Power include abuse of power, power concentrated under capitalism, renewable power, political power, the power of creativity, power over information, and the power of controlling narrative." -Shepard Fairey "New Clear Power Silkscreen Print" is a work of art by the renowned American street artist Shepard Fairey, also known by his moniker, OBEY. The "New Clear Power Silkscreen Print" is a limited edition artwork created with Fairey's signature silkscreen printing technique. Silkscreen printing, also known as screen printing, is a process that involves applying layers of ink through a mesh screen to create an image on various surfaces. Shepard Fairey frequently uses this method to create his distinctive, bold, and highly detailed artworks. Fairey's work often explores political and social themes, with powerful imagery and messages to provoke thought and discussion. The "New Clear Power Silkscreen Print" incorporates similar themes and is intended to raise awareness about a specific issue or idea. Since the title plays with the words "New Clear Power" (sounds like "Nuclear Power"), it may address topics such as the use of nuclear energy, its potential benefits, and its risks to society and the environment. The artwork probably features Fairey's recognizable style, which typically combines elements of graphic design, illustration, and street art. As with many of Fairey's limited edition prints, the "New Clear Power Silkscreen Print" is highly sought after by art collectors and fans of the artist's work.

    Two Americas- Large Format Limited Edition Hand Pulled 4-Color Serigraph Print on Varnished 100% Cotton Rag Archival Paper with hand-deckled edges by Shepard Fairey Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 4-Color Serigraph on Varnished 100% Cotton Rag Archival Paper. 30 x 40 inches. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 100. Jim Marshall's photograph of a coal mining family in Hazard, Kentucky, taken while he lived with them, says a lot with what it shows, which is a mother and two children huddled together in support of each other, but it says just as much with what it lacks. There is a conspicuous absence of material necessities and a father. I don't know whether the father was working in a coal mine when the photograph was taken or had potentially died young because of the health risks of working under dangerous conditions, but it is clear that the family is struggling and lacking.

Business Jobs & Work Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Depicting the Corporate Grind Through Street Pop Art and Graffiti

The bustling world of business, jobs, and work has often served as fertile ground for artists, especially within the realms of street pop art and graffiti. These forms of urban artistic expression have been used to comment on the monotony of the 9-to-5 lifestyle, the dehumanization within corporate structures, and the pursuit of success in capitalist societies. Street art, in particular, has a history of taking the pulse of the people, and in doing so, it frequently reflects on the world of work and its impact on the individual and collective psyche. Artists have utilized walls, sidewalks, and the very fabric of the city to showcase the oftentimes unglamorous reality of working life. Murals depicting endless rows of cubicles, faceless suits, and the iconic 'rat race' encapsulate the existential ennui that can accompany the daily grind. These works serve as a visual critique, providing passersby with a moment of reflection on their own work lives and the societal values placed on employment and productivity.

Artists Reflecting Work Culture in Their Street Art Narratives

Several street artists have made a name for themselves by consistently incorporating themes of business and work into their street pop art narratives. Their real names, countries of origin, and life stories often blend into their art, giving a personal touch to their social commentaries. By portraying figures trapped in the mechanics of their jobs or highlighting the absurdity of certain professional situations, these artists offer a mirror to the world of work that is rarely seen in corporate brochures or job advertisements. Their creative expressions range from large-scale murals to small, subtle interventions in public spaces. Often these works will feature individuals in suits, symbolic of the corporate world, placed in scenarios that are in stark contrast to their professional appearance. For example, an executive figure might be shown flying a kite or riding a carousel horse, symbolizing a longing for escape or simplicity amidst the complexities and pressures of professional life.

Street Pop Art as a Commentary on Economic Systems

Street pop art and graffiti often extend beyond personal narratives, commenting on broader economic systems and societal structures. In the context of jobs and work, these art forms can serve as powerful critiques of capitalism, consumerism, and the inequalities of wealth distribution. The street becomes a canvas for expressing discontent, raising awareness, and advocating for change. Through their art, street artists can inspire conversations about the future of work, the value of labor, and the definition of success. This form of art can be a call to action, encouraging viewers to rethink their roles within the workforce and the larger economic system. It can also serve as a form of solidarity, connecting individuals who share similar experiences or challenges within their professional lives. The beauty of street pop art and graffiti lies in its accessibility and its ability to reach a diverse audience, making it an effective medium for discussing the universal theme of work. The intersection of business, jobs, and work with street pop art and graffiti artwork reveals a complex narrative about the human experience. These artworks offer a poignant critique of the work culture that dominates modern life, challenging viewers to consider the impact of their professional pursuits on their personal identity and wellbeing. Through the lens of street art, the world of work is not only depicted but also dissected, providing a space for public discourse and reflection on what it means to work in today's society.
