  • Revolution in our Time Silkscreen Print by Edward Nachtrieb x Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Revolution in our Time Silkscreen Print by Edward Nachtrieb x Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Revolution in our Time Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 5-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2020 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "Oct 1 is the 70th anniversary of Communist Party rule in China and the Chinese government is planning an extravaganza of choreographed contentment in the mainland while the people of Hong Kong will hit the streets in an effort to secure their rights. I’ve long believed that protests in the streets are an essential tool for meaningful change because the passion, courage, and visceral force of the participants in a mass protest send a powerful message that they are fully committed to their cause! Ed Nachtrieb photographed many incredible moments of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. I’m honored to collaborate with Ed on a set of two images based on his documentation 30 years ago, especially because pro-democracy and human-rights protesters are in the streets of Hong Kong right now! This image “Long Live The People” will be released as a print soon… more details to come. Check out Ed Nachtrieb’s thoughts on the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY "After the People’s Liberation Army was sent in to suppress what is now called the “pro-democracy movement” on June 4, 1989, there was a liberalization of economic rules and policies. China then experienced a remarkable economic transformation. The idea: if people could get rich, they wouldn’t care so much about their freedoms. I think that’s a miscalculation. In Hong Kong today, ideas championed in 1989 have reappeared in a “Revolution of Our Time” in spite of the campaign to erase such “counter-revolutionary” thoughts from history. My images used in these prints are from energetic and optimistic moments of the pro-democracy movement. Victory was in the air. Progress seemed inevitable to those with arms outstretched and smiles beaming from their faces. Shepard’s work reflects their hopes and aspirations. The same ones that fortified those protesters in 1989 are now fuel for the passionate idealists on the streets today." -Edward Nachtrieb Shepard Fairey's "Revolution in Our Time" silkscreen print is a compelling narrative connecting past and present struggles for democracy and human rights. This piece, released in 2020, commemorates the 70th anniversary of Communist Party rule in China, juxtaposing the state's celebrations with the unyielding spirit of protest in Hong Kong. Fairey's collaboration with photographer Ed Nachtrieb is particularly significant, as it draws on images captured during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, thereby linking historical acts of resistance to contemporary movements. The artwork is a hand-pulled, 5-color print on cream speckletone fine art paper. With its size of 18x24 inches, the piece commands attention, demanding consideration not just as a visual expression but as a statement of solidarity. The edition is limited to 550 signed and numbered prints, making each a tangible artifact of political artistry. Fairey's design is charged with symbols of peace and resilience, as evidenced by the dove and the raised hand, iconic gestures of defiance and hope. Fairey is known for his stance that street protests are a crucial mechanism for social change, and this belief is visually encoded in the print. His art is not passive; it is an active participant in the dialogue around civil liberties and the collective voice of the people. "Revolution in Our Time" does more than commemorate an event; it propels the message of protest into the future, encouraging a reflection on the nature of authority and the power of the people's will. This limited edition print captures the essence of Shepard Fairey's approach to art as a form of rebellion and communication. It speaks to a universal yearning for freedom and justice, transcending borders and historical moments to unite viewers in a common cause. The work stands as a beacon to civic engagement's enduring relevance and visual art's impact in mobilizing and inspiring change within societies.

  • AK-47 Lotus- Large Format Serigraph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY AK-47 Lotus- Large Format Serigraph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    AK-47 Lotus- Large Format Limited Edition Hand Pulled 4-Color Serigraph Print on Custom Cotton Coventry Rag Paper by Graffiti Street Artist Shepard Fairey. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 30x41 In the rich tapestry of modern art, the AR-15 Lily serigraph by Shepard Fairey holds a distinct place. A contemporary masterpiece, this large-format print, sized at an impressive 30x41, is a testament to Fairey's impeccable craftsmanship and profound insight into social issues. A product of the year 2022, the AR-15 Lily, alongside its counterpart, the AK-47 Lotus, reflects Fairey's inspiration from the iconic Vietnam War protesters. These brave souls, in a symbolic gesture of peace, would insert flowers into the gun barrels of the National Guard, who were present to curtail their passionate calls for peace. Shepard Fairey, a renowned graffiti street artist, is known for intertwining pop culture, street art, and pressing social issues in his works, and this piece is no exception. His choice of a 4-color serigraph technique for this limited edition of 100 pieces exudes exclusivity and class. The print, meticulously crafted on Custom Cotton Coventry Rag Paper, evokes feelings of nostalgia and the age-old conflict between violence and peace. Fairey’s perspective, as he expresses, is deeply pacifistic. His work is not just an artistic expression but a call for diplomacy and harmony, both on international terrains and domestic fronts. While he does not challenge the Second Amendment, his emphasis is on reducing unnecessary deaths due to gun violence. In a world where the lines between art and activism often blur, Fairey's commitment to supporting causes shines through. A portion of the proceeds from this artwork, for instance, aids Brady United, an organization dedicated to preventing gun violence. The AR-15 Lily is not just a piece of art; it's a bold statement, a call for reflection, and a testament to Fairey’s unwavering commitment to promoting peace. "The AK-47 Lotus and AR-15 Lily large format serigraphs are inspired by Vietnam War protesters who would put flowers in the gun barrels of the National Guard who were brought in to suppress their protests for peace. I’m a pacifist, whether that means finding diplomatic solutions to prevent and avoid war internationally or finding diplomatic solutions to prevent and avoid gun violence at home. I’m not anti- Second Amendment, so trolls can calm down… I’m not interested in macho blathering, I just want fewer people to die unnecessarily. Brady United is doing good work preventing gun violence so they will receive a portion of proceeds from these two prints. Thanks for caring.⁠" -Shepard Fairey

    Case Maclaim Power Of Movement Archival Print by Case Maclaim

    Power Of Movement Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Case Maclaim Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. One of the most poignant aspects common to all of case’s works is the texture of the surfaces he uses. They are painted on a background that is made from pieces of cardboard of various sizes. Most of the cardboard comes from the packaging of the spray paint cans and they are held together with glue, staples and tape. Sometimes bits and pieces of wood are also glued onto the surface, such that a bumpy, one-of-a-kind surface appears. This structure is diametrically opposed to typically overblown, perfectionist images and it gives case’s works their unique character.

Peace Symbols & Signs Graffiti Street Pop Art

The Evolution of Peace Symbols in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Peace symbols have been integral to human expression and communication, transcending language barriers and cultural differences to deliver a universal message of harmony and unity. The incorporation of peace signs and symbols into street pop art and graffiti artwork has a storied history, reflecting society's desire for tranquility and its response to times of conflict. In the colorful tapestry of urban landscapes, these symbols emerge as motifs of hope and as instruments of political and social commentary. The most iconic of these, the peace sign, originated in the 1950s as a symbol of nuclear disarmament and quickly became synonymous with anti-war movements worldwide. Its simple yet robust design is found in various incarnations throughout street art, often reimagined and recontextualized to fit the voice and vision of the artist. In the hands of street pop artists and graffiti writers, the peace symbol is frequently infused with irony, juxtaposed with images of conflict to underscore the contrast between the ideal of peace and the reality of society's unrest.

Peace Symbols as Cultural Icons in Street Pop and Graffiti Art

As the symbol for peace evolved, it became a cultural icon within the realms of street pop art and graffiti, signifying a desire for the cessation of conflict and representing a broader ideology encompassing environmentalism, human rights, and global unity. The symbol's simplicity lends itself to replication and adaptation, making it a favorite among artists who use public spaces as their canvas. These renditions of the peace symbol often adopt vibrant colors and bold lines characteristic of pop art while retaining graffiti's raw, provocative edge. This adaptability has allowed the peace symbol to remain relevant as it is passed down through generations of artists, each bringing its context and messages to the forefront. Street pop artists and graffiti writers have played a pivotal role in keeping the peace symbol alive in public consciousness, using it to spark conversation, provoke thought, and inspire action. Their work supports the dialogue about peace in the public eye, reminding passersby of the enduring relevance of the symbol and the ongoing quest for peace in a turbulent world.

Interpreting Peace Symbols in Modern Street Pop Art and Graffiti

In modern street pop art and graffiti, the peace symbol often transcends its traditional boundaries to embody broader meanings. Artists have expanded upon the classic design, incorporating elements from different cultures and ideologies to create a more inclusive representation of peace. This innovative approach has given the symbol a new art life, transforming it from a static sign into a dynamic narrative element that can tell stories of societal challenges, achievements, and hopes. The peace symbol in street pop art and graffiti is a signifier of anti-war sentiment and a representation of the artist's identity and cultural background. This personalization of the peace symbol reflects the diversity of the communities in which the art is created, and it serves as a testament to the unifying power of the quest for peace. Each artist's interpretation acts as a thread in the larger fabric of street pop art, contributing to a global conversation about what it means to seek and maintain peace in our time.

The Lasting Influence of Peace Symbols in the Street Art Movement

The enduring presence of peace symbols in street art is a testament to their powerful influence on the movement. As street pop art and graffiti continue to evolve, these symbols serve as a reminder of the genre's roots in social activism and its potential for societal impact. The proliferation of peace symbols across global cities speaks to the universal language of art and its ability to bridge divides, fostering a sense of solidarity among diverse populations. The peace symbol's journey through the ages, from a sign on a protest banner to a recurring theme in street pop art and graffiti, showcases its versatility and deep resonance with individuals from all walks of life. Its continued relevance in street art underscores the genre's role as a form of aesthetic expression and a catalyst for change, echoing the collective yearning for a more harmonious world. As street pop art and graffiti artwork find new expressions and canvases, the peace symbol remains a powerful emblem of hope, unity, and the enduring human spirit.
