    Obey Noir Flower Woman- Blue 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed & Numbered Screen Print OBEY NOIR FLOWER WOMAN (BLUE) 18 inches by 24 inches Edition of 400 January 27, 2022 The Obey Noir Flower Woman print is inspired by Art Deco design and Dark Wave album art. The image has a few avenues for interpretation. I primarily see it as a tribute to idealists who protect the environment, cultivate justice, and hold optimism close to their hearts. We all face challenges and hostilities, but exterior forces don’t control our inner strength and idealism. We do! Idealism leads to action. Those who perpetrate injustice rely on apathy to get away with their misdeeds. Nurture your inner idealism, and your constructive actions will follow. – Shepard

  • Open Minds Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Open Minds Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Open Minds 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed & Numbered Screen Print OPEN MINDS 36 inches by 24 inches Edition of 675 February 3, 2022 Handling Creases to Bottom Left & Right Margins. This “Open Minds” print references the language used by the powerful fuel industry lobby to soften political and public resistance to fracking. Fracking is a form of gas extraction which beyond the carbon impact of the gas itself, contaminates groundwater, pollutes the air, and creates strains on water resources because of the high volume of water required for the fracking process. Open-mindedness about any of those detrimental impacts of fracking and other fossil fuel extraction is absurd if one cares about the environment, air and water quality, and global warming. Powerful corporations and their lobbyists spend exorbitant sums to distract from and discredit the science-based conversation about the environment. I’m all for open minds and open eyes when it comes to putting science and the welfare of the planet before corporate profits. A portion of the proceeds from this print will benefit Greenpeace to support its work to enhance environmental protections and combat climate change. – Shepard

  • No Bees No Honey Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY No Bees No Honey Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    No Bees No Honey 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 325 Artwork Size 18x24 Gold Metallic Ink "The Clash are my all-time favorite band and their frontman, Joe Strummer, is a hero of mine for his music, lyrics, wit, compassion for the underdog, and stance against injustice. To celebrate the release of JOE STRUMMER 002 and in honor of Joe’s 70th birthday, a limited edition print inspired by the Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros song, JOHNNY APPLESEED. Joe’s lyric “If you’re after getting the honey, then you don’t go killing all the bees” applies to lots of things, like mistreating factory workers, but for me the idea that bees are pollinators who are crucial to sustaining Earth’s fragile eco-systems is a powerful idea. I hope to honor Joe’s music and extend his ideas with my No Bees No Honey print. A portion of proceeds will go to the Joe Strummer Foundation." -Shepard Fairey The intersection of street art, pop art, and graffiti has often found its voice through artists who transcend the confines of traditional media to bring forth powerful messages. One such eminent figure in this realm is Shepard Fairey, known widely for his iconic designs and thought-provoking artistry. His piece, "No Bees No Honey," is a color hand-pulled limited edition silkscreen print that stands as a testament to Fairey's artistic prowess and his ability to interweave poignant messages with his art. Created on cream speckle tone paper, the print embodies a vibrant play of colors and is accentuated by gold metallic ink that gives it a unique touch. The allure of this piece, however, isn't just its visual appeal but also its rarity. With only 325 signed and numbered pieces available, it stands as a collector's item and a beacon of Fairey's dedication to his craft. Sized at 18x24, the artwork captures attention with its intricate details and the symbolic imagery it presents. What elevates this piece from merely being a work of art to a profound statement is the backstory that inspired it. The artwork draws its essence from the legacy of Joe Strummer, frontman of "The Clash" and a stalwart figure revered by Fairey. Strummer's dedication to justice, his compassion for the marginalized, and his undying spirit resonate deeply with Fairey, making him a consistent source of inspiration. The inception of "No Bees No Honey" can be traced back to a song by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros titled "JOHNNY APPLESEED." A line from this song, "If you’re after getting the honey, then you don’t go killing all the bees," serves as the driving philosophy behind Fairey's artwork. At a glance, this lyric speaks volumes about sustainability and the delicate balance of nature. By delving deeper, one recognizes its applicability to a myriad of societal issues, ranging from the exploitation of factory workers to the broader challenges faced by our ecosystem. The role of bees as indispensable pollinators, ensuring the continuation of life on Earth, is cleverly juxtaposed with Strummer's lyrics, creating an artwork that's as profound in its message as it is stunning in its design. Fairey's commitment to social causes and his admiration for Strummer converge in "No Bees No Honey," but they also manifest in tangible contributions. A part of the proceeds from this artwork is dedicated to the Joe Strummer Foundation, thereby furthering the cause and ensuring that art acts as a vehicle for positive change. In the world of contemporary art, pieces like "No Bees No Honey" remind us of the transformative power of creativity. Shepard Fairey's art is not just an aesthetic pleasure; it's a call to introspection, an invitation to ponder deeper societal issues, and a celebration of the indomitable spirit of figures like Joe Strummer.

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.
