    Endless Power Petrol Palace- Red 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Endless Power Petrol Palace (Red) 18 x 24 inches Edition of 350 June 13, 2019 "The “Endless Power Petrol Palace” poster is both a celebration and critique of the seductive graphic propaganda used for the petroleum industry. I designed this print to feel like a vintage ad celebrating the abundance of America and the bright future of the American Dream. Though oil is finite, our reliance on it is so extreme that the power wielded by those who control oil is virtually unlimited." -Shepard Fairey

  • 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.”

"The Obey Deco Flower is inspired by Constructivism, Art Deco, Black Flag, and my belief that positive symbols can inspire positive actions. There are a lot of assholes pushing fear and division… don’t fall for it… RISE ABOVE!" -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey's "Obey Deco Flower Blue AP" stands as a testament to the crossroads of pop art, street art, and graffiti art, brilliantly marrying aesthetic sensibilities from a range of art movements. This hand-pulled silkscreen print is impressively rendered on Speckletone Fine Art Paper, showcasing Fairey's commitment to both technique and quality. The print, issued as a limited edition piece in 2019, features the arresting image of a blue lotus flower, surrounded by the potent words "Rise Above" and "Obey 1989." These phrases echo the cultural undertones and provocations Fairey is renowned for. The design itself is heavily informed by a medley of inspirations, including Constructivism and Art Deco, interspersed with a nod to the band Black Flag. Fairey's dedication to weaving positive symbols into his artwork, hoping they ignite positive actions in society, is evident. The blue lotus, traditionally symbolizing enlightenment and rebirth, coupled with the rallying call to "Rise Above," challenges viewers to transcend the divisive narratives that often plague society.

Environmentalism
Environmentalism as a topic in graffiti street pop art has grown in popularity in recent years as the global community becomes more aware of the importance of protecting the environment. Artists are using graffiti and street art as a means to communicate powerful messages related to environmentalism and climate change, often incorporating various elements, techniques, and symbols to convey their messages. Some of these elements include: Awareness and advocacy: Street artists use graffiti to raise awareness about various environmental issues such as climate change, deforestation, pollution, and species extinction. By creating striking visuals, they aim to engage the public and inspire a sense of urgency to take action. Nature-inspired imagery: Many artists use nature-inspired imagery, including animals, plants, and landscapes, to emphasize the beauty and fragility of the environment. These images can be both realistic or stylized, depending on the artist's intent and style. Eco-friendly materials: Some artists are committed to using eco-friendly materials to create their art, such as repurposed or recycled materials, water-based paint, or natural pigments. This not only reduces the environmental impact of their work but also serves as an example to promote sustainable practices in the art world. Murals and installations: Many environmentally-themed street art pieces take the form of large-scale murals or installations, which can transform urban spaces and make a more significant impact on the public. These artworks often address specific environmental issues relevant to the local community or the region. Collaborations: Street artists sometimes collaborate with environmental organizations, NGOs, or local communities to create artwork that supports their causes. These partnerships can result in powerful messages that resonate with a broader audience and generate more awareness about specific environmental issues. Uplifting messages: While some graffiti street pop art pieces highlight the negative aspects of environmental issues, others aim to inspire hope and positive change. Artists create uplifting messages and images that emphasize the power of individual and collective action in protecting the environment and preserving the planet for future generations. Provocative and controversial themes: Street art has long been known for its provocative nature, and environmental-themed pieces are no exception. Artists may use controversial imagery or bold statements to spark discussions and debates about environmental issues, challenging societal norms and encouraging people to question their actions and their impact on the environment. Global impact: The rise of social media has allowed street artists to share their environmentally-themed works with a global audience. This exposure helps create a sense of global unity and shared responsibility for addressing environmental issues, transcending geographical boundaries. Education and inspiration: Many artists aim to educate the public on environmental issues through their artwork, using easily digestible visual representations or creative interpretations of complex topics. This approach can inspire viewers to learn more about the subject matter and take action in their own lives. Evolution and adaptation: As environmental issues continue to evolve, so does the subject matter and style of graffiti street pop art. Artists are constantly adapting their techniques and themes to reflect the changing environmental landscape and raise awareness about new and emerging issues. Global impact: The rise of social media has allowed street artists to share their environmentally-themed works with a global audience.
