Gas Fuel & Oil

Cost of Oil AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 2-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. AP Artist Proof 2008 Signed & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. The "Cost of Oil" silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is a provocative piece that cuts to the heart of street pop art and graffiti artwork's capacity to confront and question socio-political issues. Released in 2008 as an artist proof (AP), this limited edition artwork is a visual exploration of the themes of energy consumption, environmental impact, and the geopolitical ramifications implicit in the pursuit of oil. Signed and marked as an AP by Fairey, the piece measures 18x24 inches and is printed on cream speckletone fine art paper. Known for his intelligent and critical approach to cultural commentary, Fairey's "Cost of Oil" embodies the essence of his street pop art practice. The artwork is anchored by the bold, declarative question, "What is the cost of oil?" which resonates against the backdrop of a commanding visual narrative. The image features a solitary figure, clad in a shirt emblazoned with "USA," filling up a Hummer's gas tank—a potent symbol of American consumption and the military-industrial complex. The radiant sunburst behind the figure and the dripping blood-red bottom underscores the dichotomy of light and darkness in the discourse around freedom and its costs. This 2-color hand-pulled print is a quintessential example of Fairey's work, aligning itself with the 'OBEY' campaign's goal to stimulate discussion and reflect on the pervasive propaganda in public spaces. The 'OBEY' motif has always sought to challenge observers to question the mechanisms and messages in their environment, and "Cost of Oil" extends this challenge to the global issue of oil dependency and its vast implications. As a piece of street pop art, the "Cost of Oil" is a catalyst for dialogue, pushing the boundaries of what art can communicate and how it can influence public thought. It's a stark reminder of the power of visual art as a means of activism and advocacy and of Fairey's enduring role in using his art to spotlight crucial issues. The print remains a relevant and stirring piece within the oeuvre of Fairey's work and the larger conversation about energy, environmentalism, and the actual price of consumption.

Moon Over Biloxi 1-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. Signed & Numbered Moon Over Biloxi Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 400 July 27, 2010. "The title of this print “Moon Over Biloxi” is a tribute to the Dead Kennedy’s song “Moon Over Marin”. In 1984 I picked up maybe my 4th punk record which was the 2nd Dead Kennedy’s album “Plastic Surgery Disasters”. The album is a great listen all the way through and includes some blistering tunes like “Riot” and “Bleed For Me” laced with social commentary. The surprise song though is “Moon Over Marin”… detractors have called it the Dead Kennedy’s “U2” song, but I disagree. “Moon Over Marin” is more melodic than most DK, but juxtaposed with the darkness of the lyrics, the song evokes a powerful sense of existential melancholy. I think the concept that struck me, and stuck with me, is that our disrespect of each other and the planet may doom us, but things will continue without us. I think it is healthy to recognize impermanence, but also to appreciate the value of the ephemeral. Moonlight, real or electric, will probably be around, but what it will be casting light on is the real question. There will always be a moon over Biloxi." -Shepard

Castle Original One of a Kind Mixed Media & Oil Painting Artwork on Canvas by Modern Pop Dystopian Artist Adam Caldwell. 2022 Signed 11x14 Oil Mixed Media on Canvas Original Painting Ready to Hang Artwork. Adam Caldwell's Castle A Convergence of Chaos and Order in Art "Castle," an original mixed media and oil painting on canvas by Adam Caldwell, is a profound one-of-a-kind artwork that captures the intricate balance between chaos and order—a recurring theme in Caldwell's work as a modern pop dystopian artist. The 2022 signed piece, measuring 11x14 inches, expresses Caldwell's mastery in blending classical art techniques with modern street pop sensibilities, ready to be displayed and provoke thought in any setting. This piece is a visual narrative that conveys the tension between past and present, reality and imagination. At its center is a meticulously detailed castle, an emblem of medieval grandeur and stability, surrounded by abstract, almost violent brushstrokes that suggest a storm of contemporary chaos. Caldwell's "Castle" invites viewers to reflect on the dichotomy of the enduring structures we build—physical and societal—and the often tumultuous energy surrounding them. The castle, a symbol of fortitude and legacy, is juxtaposed against a backdrop of modernity's unrelenting and vibrant force, encapsulated in the riot of colors and textures that make up the canvas's background. Caldwell's artwork is further characterized by detailed sketches that evoke the sense of an underlying narrative that hints at the stories and histories embedded within the walls of such timeless structures. His mixed media approach, involving oil paint that gives depth and richness to the image, alongside other materials that contribute to the piece's texture and complexity, reflects the layered nature of history itself. "Castle" is a testament to Caldwell's ability to navigate the crosscurrents of street pop art and traditional oil painting. It is a visual exploration of the themes that define Caldwell's body of work: the intersection of historical and contemporary, the collision of dystopian and utopian elements, and the dialogue between the chaotic and the serene. Through "Castle," Caldwell continues to challenge and expand the boundaries of what pop art can be, solidifying his role as a visionary artist whose works resonate with the complexities of the modern age.

Factory Stacks- Earth First 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 Factory Stacks – Earth First Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey Factory Stacks – Earth First is a powerful 6-color hand-pulled silkscreen print created in 2022 by renowned American artist Shepard Fairey. Measuring 18x24 inches and printed on thick cream Speckletone fine art paper, this signed and numbered limited edition of 350 pieces fuses the political energy of graffiti with the precision and control of modern screenprint design. The work is part of Fairey’s continued focus on environmental activism through art and contributes to the broader conversation around the role of industry, power, and public accountability in climate policy. Industrial Might as Graphic Metaphor The print features a factory with twin smokestacks emitting bold trails of smoke against a fragmented and stylized backdrop of red, yellow, and blue—colors associated with urgency, fire, and warning. The building looms large, rendered with clean vector lines and high-contrast forms, while geometric elements and cultural motifs hover in the background, including currency iconography, flames, and architectural symbolism. The stark visual contrast between the rigid industrial structures and the organic chaos of smoke and fire underscores the clash between mechanized progress and ecological fragility. This image serves as a critique of global dependence on fossil fuels and the prioritization of profit over environmental sustainability. Shepard Fairey is known for embedding meaning within tightly structured visuals, and here he uses the monumental scale of the smokestacks as a metaphor for entrenched systems of power. The print’s backdrop includes references to government currency and propaganda textures, further emphasizing the complicity of institutional economics in environmental destruction. Screenprinting as Political Craft Fairey’s technical skill in hand-pulled silkscreening is evident in the crisp linework, bold palette, and balanced layering of texture and flat color. The artwork’s speckletone paper enhances the handmade quality of the piece, giving it the presence of a protest poster while retaining the refinement of collectible street pop art. The 6-color process allows for vibrant layering and nuanced interplay of light and form, with the red and black palette lending a sense of urgency and confrontation. By combining the visual language of commercial design with fine art methods, Fairey continues his legacy of making politically charged works that are accessible, reproducible, and grounded in visual activism. This piece fits into his broader OBEY aesthetic, which draws from punk, graffiti, and socialist propaganda to awaken public dialogue. Art as Environmental Statement Factory Stacks – Earth First is not merely a visual statement; it is a functional activist tool. A portion of the proceeds from this edition was pledged to Greenpeace, supporting global campaigns to combat climate change. Fairey encourages viewers to reflect on systemic inertia, corporate greed, and the governmental failure to transition away from environmentally destructive practices. His recommendation of Naomi Klein’s book “This Changes Everything” provides further intellectual grounding for the print’s message, aligning the work with contemporary thought leaders in environmental justice. This silkscreen print exemplifies the power of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork as both a form of protest and a call to action. By merging aesthetics with advocacy, Shepard Fairey transforms industrial imagery into a demand for ecological responsibility and human accountability.

Idiocracy AP Artist Proof Limited Edition 4-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey, Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "I’ve always felt that art, entertainment, and humor can be the best delivery vehicles for social commentary, so I love the way humor is used in “Idiocracy” to make the social critique more digestible. The movie is a harsh but necessary indictment of the anti-intellectual culture and politics that seem to become the norm more and more everyday. The film is great in a cautionary way and has an enjoyable irony being a somewhat low-brow piece of entertainment about the perils of succumbing to a cultural rejection of anything intellectual or high-brow. In other words, the genius of the film is that it may actually get through to the audience it should reach, rather than just preaching to the intellectual elite" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Idiocracy AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey Idiocracy is a 2016 Artist Proof silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey, created as a sharp visual homage to the cult-classic film Idiocracy. This hand-pulled, 4-color screen print measures 18 x 24 inches and was produced in a signed and numbered Artist Proof edition drawn from a total run of 550. Printed on fine art paper, the piece reflects Fairey’s long-standing interest in using pop culture as a vehicle for pointed social and political commentary. Visual Language, Satire, and Cultural Commentary The composition borrows heavily from vintage propaganda aesthetics, featuring bold red, black, and gold tones, strong geometric framing, and authoritative typography. Central to the image is a faucet dispensing “electrolytes” directly onto a human brain, a biting visual metaphor drawn from the film’s fictional brand “Brawndo.” Phrases like “WHAT BRAINS CRAVE!” and “THE SMART MUTILATOR” reinforce the satirical critique of anti-intellectualism, consumer culture, and the erosion of critical thinking. Fairey’s use of exaggerated symbolism mirrors the film’s humor while amplifying its warning about the consequences of cultural complacency. Shepard Fairey, Idiocracy, and Collector Significance Shepard Fairey has consistently used irony, humor, and recognizable imagery to challenge power structures and cultural trends, and Idiocracy fits squarely within that lineage. By translating the film’s message into a bold graphic poster, Fairey bridges cinema, street art, and political art in a way that is both accessible and confrontational. As an Artist Proof tied to a widely referenced satirical film, this print holds strong appeal for collectors of OBEY works, pop culture art, and socially driven contemporary prints. Its blend of humor, critique, and classic Fairey iconography makes it a standout piece within his pop-culture-inspired body of work.

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.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this print will go to Greenpeace to fight climate change. Thanks for caring.” – Shepard Factory Stacks – Endless Power Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey Factory Stacks – Endless Power is a bold 6-color silkscreen print created in 2022 by Shepard Fairey, one of the most influential figures in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Measuring 18x24 inches, this signed and numbered limited edition of 350 is printed on thick cream Speckletone paper and embodies Fairey’s hallmark aesthetic: a fusion of propaganda-style composition, socio-political messaging, and graphic design precision. It continues his Factory Stacks series, a visual campaign aimed at confronting environmental and systemic imbalances, particularly those surrounding the fossil fuel industry. Visual Language of Industrial Dominance This piece presents twin smokestacks emerging from a factory, exhaling thick plumes of smoke that bend into geometric arcs against a fractured backdrop. The composition is both imposing and elegant, rendered in Fairey’s signature palette of red, blue, cream, and black with accents of gold and grey. A section in the upper corner features graphic symbols such as currency and uniformed authority figures with the text “Endless Power,” visually connecting fossil fuel dependency to state and corporate control. Below, flames lick at the base of the structure, symbolizing destruction masked as progress. The stylized imagery and bold silhouettes evoke retro political posters, transforming the factory into an icon of unchecked industrial ambition. The title “Endless Power” is a biting irony. It speaks to the illusion of limitless energy consumption enabled by fossil fuels while referencing the political power structure that sustains this destructive system. Fairey uses the visual metaphor of pollution and fire not just as environmental warning signs, but as emblems of capitalism's refusal to pivot toward sustainability. Fine Art Printmaking as Street-Level Protest This edition is hand-pulled and silkscreened, showcasing Fairey’s technical prowess in layering crisp lines and vibrant color fields. The physicality of screenprinting—each layer applied with intention—parallels the artist’s belief in direct action. The Speckletone stock used adds texture and weight, reinforcing the piece’s physical presence and link to protest posters of the past. As a printmaker rooted in the street art tradition, Fairey embraces reproducibility without sacrificing uniqueness. His screenprints are both fine art artifacts and tools of mass communication. Factory Stacks – Endless Power does not rely on abstraction. It forces clarity, making its environmental critique visually immediate and emotionally provocative. Political Commentary Through Graffiti-Inspired Aesthetics Fairey’s work consistently straddles the space between fine art and graffiti, and this piece is no exception. By including symbols of nationalism, money, and smoke stacks, he aligns corporate power and environmental degradation in a single visual language. As part of the OBEY Giant campaign's broader ethos, the artwork invites viewers to question the legitimacy of authority, capitalism, and consumption. In the lower left of the piece, Fairey embeds the edition number and his signature, reinforcing its status as a collectible. Yet unlike conventional gallery art, this piece was made to communicate with the public. A portion of the proceeds from this release was donated to Greenpeace, underscoring the artist’s commitment to activism through art. Factory Stacks – Endless Power is not a lament—it is a visual demand. It reminds viewers that power, both political and industrial, is not endless unless people allow it to be. Through the bold format of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Shepard Fairey transforms a grim industrial skyline into a battleground of ideas, urging action before the smoke becomes irreversible.

Unsinkable Consumption AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. AP Artist Proof 2015 Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Sinking Titanic Style Cruise Liner Ship Sinking Cause of "Oil." Shepard Fairey Danger No Smoking AP 2016 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey, born Frank Shepard Fairey in the United States, created Danger No Smoking in 2016 as part of his long running engagement with environmental and public health themes within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. This Artist Proof edition is signed and marked AP, identifying it as part of a smaller subset outside the standard numbered run and closely tied to the artist’s archive. The hand pulled silkscreen measures 18 x 24 inches and is printed on cream Speckletone fine art paper, a textured stock frequently used in Obey releases for its archival durability and vintage tone. Fairey has stated that the image is inspired by a screen print he created in 1990, the first work in which he directly addressed the environmental and health hazards of gasoline, making this 2016 edition both a continuation and a reflection on decades of thematic exploration. Environmental Symbolism and Vintage Industrial Aesthetic The composition depicts a vintage lead fuel gas pump rendered in a cool blue monochromatic palette, with bold signage reading Contains Lead and Danger No Smoking. The peeling paint on the pump forms a skull like shape, a detail Fairey observed in a photograph taken in Providence, Rhode Island near a graveyard, reinforcing themes of mortality and toxicity. The strong vertical structure of the pump, combined with the stark typography and high contrast shadows, evokes early industrial warning signage while aligning with the graphic clarity associated with Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The restrained color scheme intensifies the mood, allowing the skull imagery and cautionary text to dominate without distraction. Artist Proof Editions and Environmental Commentary in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Artist Proof prints are traditionally produced in limited quantities separate from the main edition and often represent impressions reserved for the artist. Within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, AP markings underscore authenticity, scarcity, and direct artist involvement in the printmaking process. Danger No Smoking demonstrates how Fairey merges documentary photography, graphic reduction, and propaganda influenced layout to communicate urgent environmental concerns. By transforming a weathered gas pump into a symbolic warning, this 2016 silkscreen reinforces Fairey’s consistent commitment to ecological awareness through bold visual storytelling grounded in the traditions of contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

Danger No Smoking AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print—vintage Style Lead Fuel Gas Pump with Danger No Smoking Sign. "This Danger No Smoking print is inspired by a screen print I made in 1990, which was the very first image I made addressing the environmental and health hazards of gasoline. I took this photograph in Providence, RI at the edge of a desolate graveyard, which probably intensified my interpretation of the peeling paint on the gas pump as a skull. I decided the symbolism provided by natural erosion was powerful enough to make the photo worthy of turning into a print. I always liked this image, and I rediscovered it while looking for images to include in a book surveying my entire history of environmentally themed art." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Shepard Fairey Unsinkable Consumption AP 2015 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey, born Frank Shepard Fairey in the United States, created Unsinkable Consumption in 2015 as part of his ongoing critique of environmental exploitation and unchecked consumer culture within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. This Artist Proof edition is signed and marked AP, distinguishing it from the standard numbered run and identifying it as part of a smaller subset reserved by the artist. The hand-pulled silkscreen measures 18 x 24 inches and is printed on cream Speckletone fine art paper, a textured stock commonly used in Obey editions for its archival durability and vintage character. Fairey has consistently used bold iconography and propaganda inspired composition to address social and political themes, and this work reflects his direct engagement with industrial dependency and ecological consequence. Oil Symbolism and Industrial Critique in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The composition depicts a large ocean liner sinking into dark waters, visually referencing early twentieth century maritime disaster imagery while replacing the traditional cause with a broader commentary on oil consumption. Above the vessel, a red circular emblem frames a black oil derrick within a droplet shape, reinforcing petroleum as the central motif. The word Consume appears across the top, functioning as both directive and indictment. Fairey’s restrained palette of black, cream, and red heightens the graphic immediacy of the message, echoing historical propaganda posters while maintaining the clarity associated with Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The distressed background textures and layered patterning add depth and archival resonance, strengthening the conceptual weight of the scene. Artist Proof Editions and Environmental Commentary Artist Proof prints hold special significance in fine art printmaking, often representing early impressions or reserved examples closely tied to the artist’s archive. Within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, AP editions reinforce craftsmanship and scarcity while preserving thematic urgency. Unsinkable Consumption demonstrates Fairey’s ability to merge historical visual language with contemporary environmental critique, transforming a familiar maritime silhouette into a symbol of systemic overconsumption. By combining disciplined hand-pulled silkscreen production with potent industrial imagery, this 2015 print stands as a direct and enduring example of how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork addresses ecological responsibility through bold graphic storytelling.

Published by Obey Giant, Los Angeles The "We Own the Future" silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is part of his OBEY Giant series, which has become a hallmark of his street artist and graphic designer work. Known for his bold, iconic imagery and thought-provoking messages, Fairey has created numerous artworks that inspire conversation and challenge societal norms. "We Own the Future" is no exception. The print features a striking design with a central figure surrounded by bold typography and a collage of patterns and shapes. The artwork evokes a sense of empowerment and optimism, encouraging the viewer to consider their role in shaping the future. As with many of Fairey's works, the piece incorporates his signature use of color, particularly red, to create a strong visual impact. Although Shepard Fairey is often associated with his iconic "Hope" poster featuring Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign, "We Own the Future" does not have any direct connection to Obama. Instead, this artwork is part of Fairey's broader body of work, which encompasses a range of themes and messages that often revolve around social issues, activism, and the power of the individual.
