    Bias by Numbers- Large Format 30X42 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, Bias by Numbers 30 inches by 42 inches Edition of 89 June 3, 2019 “Bias by Numbers” addresses racial bias in policing, criminal justice, and media culture. Racial bias in policing and criminal justice has a long history, including stats like – black people being five times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people, and four times more likely to be subjected to unnecessary use of force, or four times more likely to be killed by the police when unarmed. The statistics revealing racial bias in prosecution and sentencing are compelling as well. Though recreational drug use is equally common in both predominantly black communities and predominantly white communities, convictions for drug possession are almost six times higher for blacks. Blacks frequently receive longer prison sentences than whites contributing to African Americans being incarcerated at more than five times the rate of whites.

Face & Head
Pop art, street art, and graffiti art are dynamic genres that have left a notable impact on contemporary visual culture, with the face and head often emerging as central themes. This motif, universally recognized and instantly engaging, has been utilized by artists for its potent ability to convey a myriad of emotions, messages, and identities. The bold, provocative world of pop art first began to champion the face and head in the mid-20th century. Icons such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein used this motif to challenge cultural norms, presenting familiar faces - often celebrities - in unexpected ways. Warhol's multicolored depictions of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and other celebrities, for instance, elevated these figures to the status of mass-produced commodities, critiquing the consumerist culture of the time. Lichtenstein, on the other hand, drew from comic books, using the exaggerated expressions of his characters to comment on society's emotional sterility. Street art and graffiti, which originated from the urban underground, have also widely employed the face and head motif. These art forms often serve as a platform for social and political commentary, and the face's universality makes it a powerful tool for artists to communicate with their audience. Banksy, an anonymous England-based street artist, often uses stenciled images of faces and heads to articulate messages of peace, rebellion, or social justice. On walls, buildings, and streets, these faces become a form of visual language that transcends boundaries, resonating with diverse audiences. In the realm of graffiti art, the face and head motif often emerges in the form of tags, throw-ups, and pieces. Notably, the stylized signatures or 'tags' of graffiti artists frequently incorporate face-like elements, signifying the artist's identity in a cryptic yet visually compelling manner. Artists such as SEEN and Dondi White have showcased their unique vision through the depiction of faces and heads, highlighting their individuality amidst the vast graffiti landscape. From the stylized and glamorous portraits of pop art to the raw and rebellious depictions in street and graffiti art, the face and head motif has remained a constant. It serves as a conduit for human emotion and identity, speaking volumes about the society in which it is embedded. Through the different lenses of pop, street, and graffiti art, the face and head motif continues to challenge, provoke, and captivate, making it a cornerstone of these vibrant art movements.
