When I was a 14-year-old skateboarder, a friend played me “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,” and that moment marked a turning point for me. The Sex Pistols provided the adrenaline-inducing soundtrack for my rebellion. If the Sex Pistols provided the soundtrack, the artist behind their imagery, Jamie Reid, provided the visuals for the revolution. Jamie Reid did the iconic art for the Sex Pistols like the “God Save the Queen” sleeve, the “Pretty Vacant” sleeve, and the cover for the album “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols.” Jamie deserves the majority of credit for the daring aesthetics of Punk Rock. If you’ve ever seen a photocopied, ransom note style, cut & paste punk graphic, then you’ve seen Jamie Reid’s influence. Jamie has been one of my biggest creative inspirations both visually and philosophically, because his work is bold, provocative, irreverent, and political. Jamie Reid also turned me on to Situationism, a movement dedicated to disrupting the conformist trance through pranks and spectacles. I’m honored that I have been able to work with Jamie on some collaborative images and to present a special collection through Obey Clothing in his honor, as well as two limited edition screen-prints. Jamie and I have mutual interest in shaking things up and addressing the problems of corruption, environmental destruction, and wealth inequality, so it is very energizing and meaningful to do a project with him. Enjoy and embrace the chaos!" -Shepard Fairey

  • Sub-Standard Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Sub-Standard Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Sub-Standard Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 5-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 12x24 Silkscreen Print "This print, “Sub-Standard,” is a comment on the relationship between corporate greed, fossil fuels, and the warming of the planet and collapsing ecosystems. Standard operating, pushed by players like Standard Oil and its many offshoots, should be redefined as sub-standard. If we want to maintain the standard of health our planet needs to avoid catastrophe, we can’t allow big oil to put profits before the planet and profits before people (as well as many other threatened species). Keep in mind that big oil, which is already very profitable, is subsidized by you, the taxpayer, for up to $50 billion per year. In contrast, renewable energy sources are subsidized for only a quarter of that amount. We need to push for change. A portion of proceeds from this print goes to Greenpeace USA‘s efforts to fight for a healthy planet.⁠" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY The silkscreen print titled "Sub-Standard" by Shepard Fairey, part of his OBEY series, is a compelling piece of contemporary art that casts a critical eye on the pressing issue of environmental degradation as it relates to corporate influence and fossil fuel dependency. Limited to a release of 550 signed and numbered editions, the artwork is a bold statement in both form and substance, pulling together the aesthetics of pop, street, and graffiti art onto a cream speckletone fine art paper. Measuring 12x24 inches, each hand-pulled 5-color print stands as a testament to Fairey's technical skill and his commitment to social commentary. Shepard Fairey, a prominent figure in the world of pop culture and street art, uses his medium to challenge the status quo and incite thought about pressing global issues. "Sub-Standard" specifically targets the consequences of the fossil fuel industry's actions on climate change and ecological destruction. Fairey's reference to Standard Oil and its successors points to a legacy of environmental policy that prioritizes profit over the planet's health, indicating a dire need for change in corporate practices. The artwork employs powerful symbolism, with the juxtaposition of an industrial motif against a backdrop that signifies the natural world in distress, reflecting Fairey's narrative about the conflict between economic interests and environmental stewardship. A significant aspect of this artwork is its activism component. A portion of the proceeds from "Sub-Standard" is directed towards Greenpeace USA, funding the organization's efforts to combat environmental harm and promote sustainability. This financial support aligns with the artwork's message, creating a direct link between art, activism, and tangible support for ecological well-being. Fairey's choice to highlight the discrepancy between subsidies for fossil fuels and renewable energy sources in his statement further amplifies the print's call to action, advocating for a reevaluation of where public funds are invested in the context of long-term planetary health. In the landscape of modern art, "Sub-Standard" by Shepard Fairey stands out as a piece that not only captures the aesthetic edge of the OBEY art movement but also embodies a deep social and environmental consciousness, driving the conversation forward in the realm of art activism.

The band's music became the adrenaline-inducing soundtrack for his rebellion, while Jamie Reid's iconic artwork provided the visuals for the revolution. Jamie Reid's artistic contributions to the Sex Pistols cannot be overstated, as he designed iconic artworks such as the "God Save the Queen" sleeve, the "Pretty Vacant" sleeve, and the album cover for "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols." His daring and provocative aesthetics played a crucial role in shaping the punk rock movement. The influence of Reid's cut-and-paste punk graphics, resembling photocopied ransom notes, can be observed in numerous punk art pieces. The collaboration between Shepard Fairey and Jamie Reid goes beyond admiration for the punk rock era; they both share a mutual interest in addressing societal issues. The duo seeks to disrupt the conformist trance through their art and address problems like corruption, environmental destruction, and wealth inequality. For Fairey, working with Reid has been an honor and a source of creative inspiration, both visually and philosophically. The Suburban Pressure print, a signed and numbered limited edition of 375, captures the essence of punk rock and Jamie Reid's bold and political artistic style. Measuring 18x24, this artwork showcases the rebellious spirit that defined the punk rock era. The collaboration also extends to a special collection presented through Obey Clothing, further honoring Jamie Reid's impact on the art world. If you're a fan of pop art, street art, or graffiti art, owning the Suburban Pressure print is an opportunity to own a piece of history. Embrace the chaos and appreciate the powerful messages behind this iconic artwork by Shepard Fairey and Jamie Reid.

I’ve wanted to collaborate with Nadya and Pussy Riot for years because of our shared belief that art and performance are powerful tools of social change. Pussy Riot has been subjected to Putin’s brutality and methods of oppression firsthand, so their comments on Putin and the invasion of Ukraine are especially relevant. Putin’s Ashes is a beautiful, haunting, evocative video and music piece. In working on a visual for Nadya’s show at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery, I illustrated from video stills and imagery that Nadya provided in an attempt to encapsulate the powerful aesthetics of Pussy Riot and the narrative of the music video piece. I’m honored to collaborate with Nadya, who I think is one of the most fearless, articulate, and outspoken multi-media artists and activists working today." -Shepard Fairey In the realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti, the 2023 signed and numbered limited edition silkscreen print, titled "Putin’s Ashes," captures the essence of activism and social justice through powerful imagery.

Drawing inspiration from the group's music video, "Putin’s Ashes," which denounces Vladimir Putin's oppression and the invasion of Ukraine, the silkscreen print portrays a woman wearing a mask in defiance of authority, standing resolute in the face of adversity. The limited edition print, hand-pulled on cream Speckletone fine art paper, measures 18x24, adding to its collectible allure.

Fairey's meticulous attention to detail, derived from video stills and imagery provided by Nadya, captures the raw aesthetics and narrative of Pussy Riot's music video, translating it into a visual medium that echoes their powerful message. The artwork's theme is poignantly relevant, considering Pussy Riot's firsthand experience with Putin's oppressive tactics. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the group's resilience in the face of brutal suppression and their unyielding commitment to speaking truth to power through their art.

The news clipping included in the piece is a portion of an article revealing that ExxonMobile has known, based on their internal scientific research, for over 40 years that burning fossil fuels is warming the planet. Yet, they hid the research and publicly denied the impact of fossil fuels on climate change. It is challenging to break through the formidable layers of deterrence put in place by the powerful corporations who put profits before people and the planet, but breaking through is essential to a healthy future. A portion of proceeds from this print will benefit Greenpeace USA to support their work to fight climate change. Thanks for caring. The speckletone paper used in this print is composed of recycled material." -Shepard Fairey "Only the Finest Poison" is an exceptional work of art by Shepard Fairey, a renowned figure in the pop and street art scene. Released in 2023, this silkscreen print showcases Fairey's adeptness in merging provocative political commentary with visually compelling artistry. Limited to an edition of 550, each piece is hand-pulled on Speckletone Fine Art Paper, a unique medium composed of recycled material, further emphasizing the artist's commitment to environmental responsibility. The artwork stands as a stark critique of the global oil industry and its harmful practices. Fairey powerfully employs the use of imagery and text to shed light on the industry's egregious actions—distorting facts, undermining science, bribing political figures, and prioritizing profit over the planet's wellbeing. A crucial element of the piece is the inclusion of a news clipping, a snip from an exposé revealing ExxonMobile's long-concealed knowledge of the detrimental climate effects of burning fossil fuels. Fairey's print is an example of how art can serve as a powerful medium for social and political critique, calling viewers to contemplate the issues presented and challenging them to take action. Echoing the urgent need for change, Fairey's print not only criticizes the oil industry but also extends a helping hand towards environmental causes. A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of this print is donated to Greenpeace USA, an organization known for its relentless fight against climate change. This brilliant artwork, in its thematic exploration and socio-political impact, is a testament to Fairey's role as a critical commentator in the realm of street and pop art.

Fire Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

The Influence of Fire in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

As an element, fire has been a powerful symbol in various forms of artistic expression due to its inherent energy and transformative nature. In street pop art and graffiti artwork, fire is employed as a physical medium and a thematic representation, reflecting passion, destruction, change, and rebirth. This exploration of fire in street and graffiti art reveals the depth of this element as a motif and its versatility in communicating the urgent, often raw messages characteristic of these art forms.

Symbolism and Themes of Fire in Graffiti Artwork

Graffiti art, known for its vibrant, illicit charm, often utilizes the symbol of fire to portray intense emotions and societal issues. Artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, an American artist who passed away in 1988, usually incorporated symbols like crowns and flames to emphasize the struggles and injustices faced by marginalized communities. Fire in these contexts can represent anger, a burning desire for change, or the destruction of the old to make way for the new. The dynamic nature of fire complements the often transient, ephemeral quality of graffiti art, which can be quickly created and removed or painted over. This impermanence ties in with the theme of fire as a fleeting yet impactful force in the urban landscape. In more literal uses, some artists have been known to utilize fire as part of their creative process, employing techniques such as controlled burns or fireworks to create patterns and textures that are impossible to achieve with traditional tools. This physical use of fire challenges the norms of artistic creation and embodies the rebellious spirit of graffiti, pushing against legal and creative boundaries.

Fire in Street Pop Art

Street Pop Art, blending pop art sensibilities with street art's accessibility and public-facing nature, also sees the element of fire as a central theme in various capacities. Artists like Keith Haring, an American artist who died in 1990, used fire to draw attention to political and social concerns. For Haring, the fire could symbolize destruction caused by nuclear war or social unrest, invoking both fear and a call to action among viewers. Fire imagery's vivid, immediate impact suits the bold colors and simple, impactful lines typical of Street Pop Art. This style often aims to communicate quickly and effectively with a broad audience, much like an advertisement. In this way, fire serves as a strong visual focal point and enhances the message's urgency. Whether it's a commentary on political upheaval, environmental disasters, or internal turmoil, fire is a universal signifier of danger and a catalyst for change.

Contemporary Uses and Interpretations

In contemporary Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, the fire motif continues to evolve, reflecting current global issues and personal narratives. Modern technologies and new media have also expanded how fire can be represented and conceptualized. Digital graffiti, projections, and installations now allow artists to include images of fire in their works that interact with the natural environment in dynamic ways, such as changing in response to viewer movements or altering according to real-time data (like temperature or noise levels). These modern interpretations of fire maintain the element's traditional associations with passion and transformation while pushing its symbolic potential in new directions. Artists continue to explore fire's dual capacity to destroy and renew, reflecting both personal and collective experiences of crisis and recovery. This dynamic is particularly resonant in today's world, where issues such as climate change, political unrest, and social transformation dominate public discourse. Fire in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork offers a rich terrain for artistic exploration and expression. Its symbolic versatility and visual impact make it an enduringly attractive element for artists in these vibrant and often challenging genres. As these art forms continue to evolve, the symbol of fire remains a potent tool for artists to engage, provoke, and inspire their audiences.
