Rise Against the System- Blue 8-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on 300gsm Bristol Paper by MAD Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 30 Artwork Size 19.7x27.6 "Rise Against the System - Blue" presents itself as a profound visual statement in the portfolio of the artist known as MAD, whose identity often remains as enigmatic as the messages embedded within their art. This piece is particularly remarkable, not only for its vibrant aesthetic but also for its rarity and the technique used in its creation. It is a limited edition silkscreen print with only 30 pieces, each meticulously signed and numbered by the artist. It underscores its value to collectors and enthusiasts of street art and pop art alike. The artwork spans a generous 19.7x27.6 inches and is printed on robust 300gsm Bristol paper, a choice that speaks to the durability and high quality of the print. The artwork is an eight-color hand-pulled silkscreen, a traditional technique that imbues each print with a unique touch, diverging from the uniformity of mass-produced art. The image itself—a figure entrapped within a bottle—acts as a metaphor for the constraints and pressures of societal systems. The use of a Blue palette not only draws the eye but also may represent the idea of 'going Blue' or environmental consciousness, a theme often explored in contemporary street art. The figure's pose, one of active resistance against the confines of the bottle, is symbolic of the fight against oppressive structures, a recurring theme in street art's lexicon, which often seeks to challenge the status quo. MAD's piece resonates within the broader context of pop art through its accessible imagery and bold coloration, yet it retains the edginess and subversion characteristic of street art. This duality ensures "Rise Against the System - Blue" speaks a universal language, appealing to a broad audience while remaining deeply rooted in the cultural and political commentary that defines much of the street art movement. Through this work, MAD offers a compelling narrative on personal agency and liberation, creating a lasting visual impact that transcends the moment of its creation, cementing its place in the discourse of modern art.

The number "99%" prominently displayed in the artwork resonates with the movement's message, which protested against economic inequality and the disproportionate power of the wealthiest 1% of the population.

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. 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 – 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.

Just Future Rising 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2021 Signed & Numbered, Just Future Rising 18 inches by 24 inches Edition of 450 June 23, 2021 "I created for the Time “VOTE” cover just before the 2020 election. At the time, I wanted to address the very unique situation we were in as a country as we faced the Covid-19 pandemic, unrest around police brutality and racial discrimination, voter suppression, and intense political division. We are still facing all of those things, though the development of Covid vaccines has significantly improved public safety and benefitted the fight to end the pandemic. In this illustration, the usually clear-cut rebel symbol of a bandana covering a face takes on a different meaning during Covid, becoming an emblem of safety, respect for one’s fellow citizens, and a sign that the wearer believes in science." -Shepard Fairey The "Just Future Rising" is a striking silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey, an artist renowned for his profound impact on street and pop art through the OBEY series. This limited edition artwork, measuring 18 by 24 inches, was released on June 23, 2021, in a numbered series of 450 pieces. Each print is hand-pulled, utilizing four colors on fine speckle tone paper, highlighting Fairey's signature style that merges art with social commentary. This piece is an extension of his engagement with contemporary issues, as it initially accompanied the Time magazine “VOTE” cover crafted in the lead-up to the 2020 election. Fairey's work consistently echoes themes of political activism and cultural critique, and "Just Future Rising" is a vivid representation of that ethos. The image reflects the turbulent climate of its creation: a nation grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic, societal upheaval stemming from racial injustice, the challenges to democracy through voter suppression, and deep-seated political polarization. In this print, the image of a woman with a bandana covering her face symbolizes a multifaceted narrative—transforming a traditional sign of rebellion into a symbol of safety and solidarity in the face of a public health crisis. The bandana, adorned with intricate patterns, carries a badge that reads "The Future is Unwritten," reinforcing the message that change is possible and the future is in the hands of the people. Fairey's choice to depict the bandana, a classic rebel icon, as a protective mask denotes a profound shift in cultural symbols due to the pandemic. It reflects a respect for science and an acknowledgment of the collective effort required to navigate the crisis. The artwork transcends mere aesthetics, embodying the message that caring for one's community and being considerate of public health are now acts of rebellion in their own right. This resonates deeply with the artist's long-standing commitment to using his craft to support social and political change. In the portfolio of Shepard Fairey's creations, "Just Future Rising" is not just a piece of pop artwork; it is a cultural artifact born out of an era defined by upheaval and a call to action. It stands as a reminder of the power of art to influence discourse, inspire action, and reflect the complexities of the human experience in times of adversity.

The Devil Made Me Do It Hand-Pulled 2-Color Silkscreen Print on Hand Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 18x24 "The TRUTH image ran in the New York Times right before the election in the opinion feature, What Have We Lost. The Devil Made Me Do It & Divided We Stand, United We Fall were both made on January 6th in response to the Faustian bargain that Trump and his accomplices made in designing the coup. Today, we find ourselves at a crossroads; now, more than ever, we must come together, take a stand, exercise our voices, and fight for Truth and Democracy. Hopefully, daylight will cast off this right-wing authoritarian spell. I see these posters as markers of a historical time and feel a duty within to share my views. We're all exhausted by politics, but we must embrace the moment and take action because the threat is fundamental; our democracy could be gone in the blink of an eye." - Cleon Peterson. Cleon Peterson's Stark Commentary in "The Devil Made Me Do It" In the stark dichotomy of black and red, Cleon Peterson's "The Devil Made Me Do It" delivers a powerful visual commentary on the socio-political climate surrounding the events of January 6th, marked by the infamous U.S. Capitol riots. This hand-pulled 2-color silkscreen print on hand-deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper emerges as a piece of street pop art and a historical marker, capturing a moment of intense national upheaval. Art as a Reflection of Societal Turmoil Peterson's artwork, a limited edition of 300 signed and numbered pieces, transcends the traditional boundaries of pop art. It embodies the artist's response to a fraught political landscape, reacting to the tumultuous events that shook the foundations of American democracy. The imagery of a man seemingly dancing while overshadowed by demonic figures speaks to the "Faustian bargain," suggesting a dance with the devil that echoes the betrayals and manipulations of political figures and the public seduced by their rhetoric. The title, "The Devil Made Me Do It," offers an ironic twist on the age-old excuse for succumbing to temptations and making morally questionable choices. Peterson's choice to release these works as a direct response to political events positions the artwork within a tradition of artists who use their craft to document and critique the times they live in. The visual language used in this piece is reminiscent of street art's often aggressive and provocative style, meant to engage the public in public spaces. The Role of Street Pop Art in Political Discourse Cleon Peterson's work exemplifies the role of street pop art in political discourse. Street art has always had a voice in the political arena, often serving as a raw expression of the people, unfiltered and unmediated. Through his work, Peterson extends this tradition by creating a piece that is both a reaction to and reflection of the political unrest that has characterized recent times. With its bold, unapologetic lines and vibrant colors, silkscreen printing makes "The Devil Made Me Do It" a commanding presence. It is a testament to the artist's ability to distill complex political and social emotions into a single, impactful image. In the tradition of street pop art, which often involves taking art out of the galleries and into the streets, Peterson's piece is designed to resonate with a broad audience, its message clear and accessible to all who encounter it. "The Devil Made Me Do It" is more than just a piece of pop art; it is a visual essay on the state of contemporary politics, a call to action, and a reminder of the power of art to reflect and affect change. It is a bold statement within the discourse of street pop art and graffiti artwork, capturing a moment when the world watched as democracy appeared to hang in the balance. Cleon Peterson's voice, through his art, adds to the chorus of those who advocate for truth and democracy, and his work remains a powerful example of how art can engage with and influence the political landscape.

TRUTH- What Have We Lost Hand-Pulled 2-Color Silkscreen Print on Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of XXX Artwork Size 18x24 "The TRUTH image ran in the New York Times right before the election in the opinion feature, What Have We Lost. The Devil Made Me Do it & Divided We Stand, United We Fall were both made on January 6th in response to the Faustian bargain that Trump and his accomplices made in designing the coup.

We’re all exhausted by politics, but we must embrace the moment and take action because the threat is fundamental; our democracy could be gone in the blink of an eye." - Cleon Peterson The connection of Peterson with street art is also an aspect of his work worth mentioning. Even though he has created numerous murals all over the world, the artist himself does consider himself a street artist: “I don’t think of myself as a street artist or somebody that does work in that vein, but I love the idea of doing large paintings that confront people.”. This is revealing of his motivation to make his art as accessible as possible, as a way to invite the viewers to interact with it and confront the subjects the artist is interested in addressing. This brings up the following questions concerning the art of Peterson: “What is the meaning of it? Does it have a meaning after all? If yes, is this pre-determined by the artist? In order to better understand the way meaning is created in the world of Cleon Peterson, it is essential to, primarily, understand the way he perceives the media as a field of allegations, unbased rumors, suppositions and outright lies. In the world that the artist has created and, in correlation with our own reality, media is a tool of manipulation in the hands of politicians, leaving us helpless and in the mercy of an exploitative authoritarian system.

Idiocracy Limited Edition 4-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey, Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 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 Shepard Fairey's "Idiocracy" limited edition print encapsulates the convergence of pop culture and social critique through the lens of contemporary art. Renowned for his subversive street art and graphic designs, Fairey extends his canvas to fine art paper in this 2016 artwork, limited to 550 signed and numbered pieces. The 18x24 silkscreen print features a four-color palette and is a tangible expression of Fairey’s dedication to using art as a medium for commentary on societal issues. Drawing inspiration from Mike Judge's satirical film "Idiocracy," Fairey's print is not only a visual tribute but also a critique of the film’s themes—depicting the troubling rise of anti-intellectualism and the cultural dismissal of enlightenment and sophistication. Fairey himself praises the film's use of humor to present its social criticism in a more palatable form, creating a space for reflection rather than alienation. His artwork captures the film’s ironic humor, using a brain under the guise of a vending machine product—emblematic of commodification and the oversimplification of complex ideas. This print, like many of Fairey’s works, is imbued with a sense of urgency and a call to awareness. It encapsulates the artist's view that the realms of art, humor, and entertainment can effectively intersect to deliver powerful messages about the current state of society. Fairey’s "Idiocracy" is not merely a piece to be admired for its aesthetic appeal, but a statement piece that encapsulates the pressing cultural narrative around the value of intelligence and the dangers of its rejection in public discourse. The visual elements of the print—the juxtaposition of a brain with a hand grenade, the stark and commanding typography, and the bold colors—are characteristic of Fairey's style. They are employed here not only to draw the eye but also to provoke thought, embodying the essence of graffiti and street art as tools for social engagement. In a culture increasingly leaning towards anti-intellectual sentiment, Fairey’s "Idiocracy" stands as a critical beacon in modern pop art, reminding viewers of the power of art as a reflective and transformative force.

RFK Robert F Kennedy Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 2-Color on Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print From Friends of LAHSA Shepard Fairey – RFK Robert F. Kennedy Silkscreen Print in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Shepard Fairey’s RFK Robert F. Kennedy silkscreen print, released in 2023 as a signed and numbered edition of 500, is a striking example of political portraiture rooted in the traditions of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Hand-pulled in two colors on speckletone fine art paper and sized at 18x24 inches, this piece was created in collaboration with Friends of LAHSA, a civic-focused initiative that aligns with Fairey’s longtime advocacy for social justice and equity. The print features a high-contrast, posterized portrait of Robert F. Kennedy accompanied by one of his most poignant quotes about moral courage and global solidarity. With his bold graphic style and use of iconic political imagery, Fairey reaffirms his place as one of the most influential figures in the evolution of street-inspired art into the contemporary gallery space. This artwork uses visual minimalism to amplify meaning. With only shades of blue and cream across a navy field and a solid red base for the quote, Fairey’s print references both mid-century political posters and wartime propaganda aesthetics. This creates instant recognition and authority, demanding attention much like a wheatpaste on a city wall. The portrait is defiant, hopeful, and idealistic—an image of a leader remembered for empathy and progressive vision. Through Fairey’s lens, Kennedy becomes a timeless symbol of ethical resistance, made relevant again through the voice of street art. Stylistic Roots in Protest and Public Messaging Fairey’s visual language has always blended graphic clarity with ideological intensity. Starting with his OBEY Giant campaign in the 1990s and culminating in his globally recognized HOPE poster for Barack Obama, Shepard Fairey has developed a formula that uses limited color palettes, bold typography, and photorealistic stenciling to produce maximum impact. This RFK print continues that lineage, with a layout that feels urgent and accessible. It is designed not just to be admired but to be read, shared, and posted. The poster format itself—a key tool in both political propaganda and graffiti wheatpasting—evokes the democratic intent of street art: to communicate complex ideas to everyday people, in everyday spaces. The quote printed beneath Kennedy’s portrait reinforces this intent. It’s not just a tribute; it’s a call to action. The choice of typeface, spacing, and alignment mimics the clear, rallying cadence of protest signs. Fairey does not use ornate or obscure fonts—his typography is strong, clean, and civic-minded. This decision keeps the focus on the message and mirrors graffiti’s utilitarian purpose: to declare something publicly and unapologetically. Street Pop Art's Voice in Contemporary Civic Dialogue Shepard Fairey’s influence extends beyond visual culture into the realm of activism. His consistent use of political figures, revolutionary icons, and socially conscious themes links him directly to the foundations of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. While many artists have transitioned from street to gallery, Fairey has retained a commitment to public communication. This RFK print, although gallery-sold and printed on premium paper, retains the visual and moral urgency of a mural or sticker drop. The collaboration with Friends of LAHSA (Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority) reinforces this by tethering the work to real-world causes—housing, dignity, and advocacy. Fairey’s portrait of Robert F. Kennedy does more than commemorate a figure from the past—it activates memory as a form of resistance. By resurrecting Kennedy’s image and words within a modern aesthetic framework, Fairey creates an emblem of enduring idealism. It’s a piece meant not only for collectors but for classrooms, city walls, and civic campaigns—any space where art and action converge. In the lineage of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Shepard Fairey’s RFK print stands as both homage and declaration. It reflects the belief that visual culture can still inspire political courage and that the tools of street art—bold graphics, public messaging, and shared authorship—remain powerful instruments of change.

Burn Baby Burn 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Letterpress Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 10 inches by 13 inches Edition of 450 February 2, 2021 About Burn Baby Burn, inspired by the aesthetics of “live fast – die young” rock ’n’ roll, is a critique of some harmful habits we are addicted to. Not just the harmful effects of burning fossil fuels, but also the dangerous psychology of denial and nihilism that underpins the apathy toward the planet’s future (and ours)! Whether it is the defiant greed of the fossil fuel corporations or the indifference of a public comfortable with status quo habits around fossil fuels, further delay in transitioning to renewable energy sources will be catastrophic for the planet and all of its species. I know that none of us like the idea of disrupting a comfortable habit.-Shepard Fairey

New Clear Power 3-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 350 Artwork Size 18x24 "New Clear Power, my first solo art show in Germany (@amuseum_Munich) addresses systems, forms, and notions of power that we must all carefully consider as we pursue our vision for an ideal personal and collective future. In my visual strategy, I choose colors, patterns, and icons that powerfully engage the viewer, and I write the text for my pieces using words that have the power of clear and concise communication. The concept of power is almost always present in my art. Forms of power addressed in the subject matter of New Clear Power include abuse of power, power concentrated under capitalism, renewable power, political power, the power of creativity, power over information, and the power of controlling narrative." -Shepard Fairey "New Clear Power Silkscreen Print" is a work of art by the renowned American street artist Shepard Fairey, also known by his moniker, OBEY. The "New Clear Power Silkscreen Print" is a limited edition artwork created with Fairey's signature silkscreen printing technique. Silkscreen printing, also known as screen printing, is a process that involves applying layers of ink through a mesh screen to create an image on various surfaces. Shepard Fairey frequently uses this method to create his distinctive, bold, and highly detailed artworks. Fairey's work often explores political and social themes, with powerful imagery and messages to provoke thought and discussion. The "New Clear Power Silkscreen Print" incorporates similar themes and is intended to raise awareness about a specific issue or idea. Since the title plays with the words "New Clear Power" (sounds like "Nuclear Power"), it may address topics such as the use of nuclear energy, its potential benefits, and its risks to society and the environment. The artwork probably features Fairey's recognizable style, which typically combines elements of graphic design, illustration, and street art. As with many of Fairey's limited edition prints, the "New Clear Power Silkscreen Print" is highly sought after by art collectors and fans of the artist's work.

Flower Power Red AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2021 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Red Lotus Flower & Electric Power Lines. "These Flower Power prints are a symbolic urge for a concerted effort to transition off of fossil fuels and to sustainable energy sources. Life, as we know it on Earth, will depend on this transition happening with the support of citizens, government, and corporations. Read "This Changes Everything" by Naomi Klein if you'd like a strong analysis of the severity of the climate crisis and the urgency to transition off of fossil fuels. Proceeds from these prints will benefit 350.org to support their work around the climate emergency. Thanks for caring." -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey, the mind behind the iconic OBEY imagery, once again channels his signature blend of street and pop art in the "Flower Power Red AP" silkscreen print. An emblem of countercultural movement, Fairey's piece presents a striking juxtaposition of the serene blue lotus flower against the industrial backdrop of electric power lines. Cast on Speckletone Fine Art Paper, this hand-pulled screen print not only exemplifies the artist's meticulous craftsmanship but also carries a poignant and timely message. The "Flower Power" series, which this print is a part of, stands as a clarion call for humanity's pivot from environmentally harmful fossil fuels to more sustainable energy sources. This transition, as Fairey suggests, is not just a matter of technological or economic feasibility; it is an imperative for the continuity of life as we understand it. The reference to Naomi Klein's "This Changes Everything" underscores the severity of the looming climate crisis, offering readers a comprehensive analysis of our current ecological predicament and the urgency with which we must act. Beyond its aesthetic appeal and socio-political commentary, the artwork demonstrates Fairey's commitment to environmental advocacy. Proceeds from the sale of these prints are directed to 350.org, an organization at the forefront of the global movement to address climate change. Such initiatives are emblematic of Fairey's approach to art — one that is not just visually stimulating but also deeply rooted in activism and the broader call to collective action. Through this masterful piece, Shepard Fairey once again reiterates the power of art in shaping conversations, influencing change, and fostering a more conscious global community.

Sedation of Millions AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2012 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Number 3 in A Gun Target Retnial With Phrase "IT TAKES THE SEDATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK." "The "Sedation Of Millions" print is inspired by the title of my favorite Public Enemy album, "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back." I think the biggest problem in America is the indifference and complacency about important issues that result from much of the population being perpetually hypnotized by conspicuous consumption, social media, entertainment, and self-medication. Using sedation and escapism for relief from the rat race might make us less aware(blissfully ignorant) but also less empowered to improve our role within the rat race… a vicious cycle of cause and effect." -Shepard Fairey The "Millions AP" silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey stands as a profound commentary on contemporary society through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artwork. As an Artist Proof from 2012, signed and marked by Fairey himself, this limited edition piece presents a powerful visual fused with a direct message characteristic of Fairey's thought-provoking style. Sized at 18x24, the print features the image of a gun target retinal, the number 3 prominently placed at its center, overlaid with the bold phrase "IT TAKES THE SEDATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK." This artwork resonates with Fairey's ongoing exploration of control, power, and propaganda. The title and the thematic content pay homage to Public Enemy's album "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back," channeling the spirit of resistance and the power of voice emblematic of the influential hip-hop group. Fairey's work challenges the viewer to consider the societal implications of complacency and the sedative effects of consumer culture, social media, and entertainment that contribute to a collective indifference toward critical issues. Shepard Fairey, renowned for his OBEY campaign and the iconic Obama "Hope" poster, consistently blurs the lines between fine art and street art, bringing forth discussions that encapsulate the ethos of both genres. The "Millions AP" silkscreen print serves not just as a piece of art but as a call to consciousness, urging a break from the "blissful ignorance" induced by escapism and advocating for empowerment through awareness and action. This work is a visual manifestation of Fairey's critique on the cyclical nature of societal sedation and the importance of awakening from it to enact change within the systems that govern daily life. In the broader scope of street pop art and graffiti, Fairey's "Millions AP" print encapsulates the essence of the medium's capacity to reflect and impact cultural dialogue. It is a testament to the potential of visual art as a medium for social commentary and a marker of the time in which it was created.

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.

Icarus Democracy 3-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 500 Artwork Size 24x36 "Liberty and equality are principles most people value, but the challenge is to find the proper equilibrium between the two. Democracy is the mechanism our nation has used to balance the freedom and desires of the individual with policies that are fair and beneficial for the collective of society. Democracy requires dedicated maintenance. With the culture of the previous administration and many politicians undermining democracy itself, the folly of over-confidence about the guaranteed endurance of democracy will lead to potential disaster. The threat of fascism is very real. If you value democracy use your voice and your vote. I’d recommend reading Timothy Snyders “On Tyranny” to anyone who does not see the threats to democracy (and the principles it protects) as concerning. This print, “Icarus Democracy,” will also be available in person at Dallas Contemporary." -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey Icarus Democracy 2022 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey, born in the United States in 1970, remains one of the most influential figures in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork through his OBEY campaign and politically charged print editions. Icarus Democracy, released in 2022, is a 3-color hand-pulled silkscreen print on cream Speckle Tone paper measuring 24 x 36 inches. This signed and numbered limited edition of 500 reflects Fairey’s continued engagement with civic themes, democratic responsibility, and the fragile balance between liberty and equality. Produced in the bold graphic style that defines his practice, the work merges classical symbolism with contemporary political commentary. Classical Myth and Democratic Symbolism in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The composition features a stylized Icarus figure gliding downward over ocean waves, framed by dramatic black radiating lines and a red sun bearing the words Liberty Democracy Equality. At the bottom, the phrase A Flight of Fancy in the Absence of Vigilance underscores the central warning embedded in the imagery. By referencing the myth of Icarus—whose overconfidence led to his fall—Fairey draws a parallel to the dangers of complacency within democratic systems. The restrained palette of red, black, and cool blue enhances the poster-like clarity, a hallmark of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork that uses bold contrast and simplified forms to deliver urgent, accessible messages. Limited Edition Craftsmanship and Contemporary Political Relevance Hand-pulled in three colors, the print demonstrates the precision layering and tonal control that characterize Fairey’s silkscreen editions. The cream Speckle Tone paper provides a subtle texture that reinforces the vintage propaganda aesthetic he frequently references. As a signed and numbered edition of 500, Icarus Democracy stands as both a collectible fine art print and a civic statement, urging viewers to remain vigilant in protecting democratic values. Through mythological metaphor and striking graphic design, Shepard Fairey continues to define how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can function as both cultural artifact and call to action.

Money and Power- Black Hand-Pulled 1-Color Silkscreen Print on Hand Deckled 290gsm Arches Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 18x18 "Money and Power have become primary drivers in the modern world, pushing us toward a corrupt society. The days when our leaders looked out for the people's interests have become a thing of the past—replaced by the strong man who squashes the voices of dissent to set things straight. Money elects leaders; in return, they owe a debt to the people that put them in Power—enacting our new public policy of greed and gangster capitalism. We slowly accept corruption, Law slowly fades away, and people begin to feel like democracy and a fair and equitable society were always just an illusion, a dream from the past that never really even existed." -Cleon Peterson Money and Power by Cleon Peterson – A Stark Allegory of Corruption in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Money and Power is a powerful black hand-pulled 1-color silkscreen print created by Cleon Peterson in 2022. Produced in a limited edition of just 75 signed and numbered pieces, this 18x18 inch artwork is printed on 290gsm Arches rag paper with hand-deckled edges, emphasizing its artisanal quality and rarity. The stark yellow figures and flag, laid over a deep black background, serve as a searing visual metaphor of political decay and societal control. With simplified, militaristic forms, Peterson’s composition marches forward in rigid formation, symbolizing a collective submission to authoritarian rule driven by capitalist greed. The central banner bearing a dollar sign encapsulates the theme in one potent glyph: money has become the new god, the flag under which societies now march. Cleon Peterson's Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork – A Violent Mirror of Power Structures Cleon Peterson, born in the United States in 1973, is known globally for his uncompromising and provocative style that merges elements of street art, pop iconography, and a graffiti aesthetic into biting social commentary. His work does not rely on subtlety but instead confronts the viewer with raw and unsettling imagery. In Money and Power, Peterson explores how capitalist motives have become indistinguishable from systems of governance. The faceless, weapon-wielding figures invoke totalitarian control, with each character's uniformity and march-step illustrating the erasure of individual thought and freedom. Peterson’s use of a single bold color evokes propaganda art, recalling wartime posters and dictatorial regimes, reinforcing the critique that today’s economic elites and political figures have blended into a single oppressive force. Money and Power as a Visual Manifesto Against Gangster Capitalism This piece stands as a visual thesis against what Peterson terms gangster capitalism. He expresses the idea that leaders are no longer elected to serve the public good but instead owe their power to financial interests. These interests then dictate policy, ensuring that the cycle of wealth consolidation and systemic inequality continues unchecked. In the artwork, the figures do not march for justice or liberty, but for power sustained by money. The gun in each figure's hand underscores how violence or the threat of it is now a normalized tool for maintaining order in this corrupt structure. As law and accountability fade, Peterson’s image becomes a grim prophecy, showing a society where control is absolute and voices of dissent are methodically extinguished. A Defining Work in Modern Political Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Money and Power exemplifies the essential mission of street pop art and graffiti artwork: to challenge viewers, provoke thought, and expose uncomfortable truths. Peterson uses minimalist design to deliver a maximalist message—every line, posture, and symbol communicates urgency and danger. The limited nature of the piece and the labor-intensive silkscreen technique elevate its importance as a collectible while preserving the raw authenticity central to street and graffiti art origins. It operates not merely as a print but as a declaration—one that distills Peterson’s disdain for performative democracy and unregulated capitalism into a concise, unforgettable image. The work’s impact lies in its clarity and its refusal to soften the critique, marking it as a seminal moment in Peterson’s body of work and a critical reflection of our time.

The entire body of work for that show used these shades of blue/turquoise as a connection to the air and water that is essential to sustaining life on planet Earth. This piece is more specifically about the idea that we need to see what is right in front of us, that we are dependent on nature and I used the blooming flower as a symbol of both beauty and growth. If we keep ruining the air and water, things won’t grow, not to mention we’ll all get sick.”

Eyes On The King Verdict 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey x Ted Soqui Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Ted Soqui, Numbered 18x24 inches. Screenprint on thick cream Speckletone paper. Numbered edition of 600. "I based this “Eyes on the King Verdict” print on photos taken by Ted Soqui during the LA riots of spring 1992. Ted has a long history of photographing activists and protests, which began after the “not guilty” verdicts on April 29, 1992, for the four officers who severely beat Rodney King. I especially love the central pic of a young woman protester in a Malcolm X hat contemplating the scene. I think it is important to consider the symbolic weight of the Rodney King verdict and the emotional impact on communities of color seeking justice and accountability. At the time, 30 years ago, I remember feeling enraged that such a blatant act of police brutality was going unpunished when it was captured on video. It is heartbreaking how frequently similar acts of violence and abuse of power by law enforcement have gone unpunished, even when caught on camera. I don’t ever condone violence or looting, but I understand why LA erupted in riots and protests after the King verdict. When people feel that the American system has failed them repeatedly, things can reach a boiling point. The urge to protest injustice and the right to do so are legitimate, even if looting is not legitimate. The LA riots were a tragic mixture. However, beware of those who try to conflate protest with “criminal agitation” or “inciting a riot.” When the system fails the people, it is nothing short of patriotic for the people to protest for a solution. Ted Soqui and I both signed the “Eyes on the King Verdict” print.” – Shepard

Money and Power- White Hand-Pulled 1-Color Silkscreen Print on Hand Deckled 290gsm Arches Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 18x18 "Money and Power have become primary drivers in the modern world, pushing us toward a corrupt society.

We slowly accept corruption, Law slowly fades away, and people begin to feel like democracy and a fair and equitable society were always just an illusion, a dream from the past that never really even existed." -Cleon Peterson Money and Power by Cleon Peterson – White Edition of a Stark Political Allegory in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Money and Power by Cleon Peterson is a 2022 signed and numbered hand-pulled silkscreen print, produced in a limited edition of 75. Measuring 18x18 inches and printed in black ink on pristine white 290gsm Arches rag paper with hand-deckled edges, this piece delivers a powerful statement using minimalism to reveal the mechanics of authoritarian control and capitalist dominance. The design features three militarized figures marching in unison beneath a dollar-sign emblazoned banner. Each figure salutes with one hand while gripping a weapon in the other, marching in lockstep toward a future defined not by democracy or justice, but by obedience to power shaped through wealth. The precision of the stark black-on-white imagery reinforces the rigidity and dehumanization portrayed, highlighting the shift from collective governance to capitalist-driven authoritarianism. Cleon Peterson’s American Vision of Modern Power Structures Cleon Peterson, an American artist born in 1973, is renowned for his distinctive graphic style that merges the brutal directness of street art with a pop art sensibility. His works are not decorative—they are confrontational, morally urgent, and reflective of systemic violence. Money and Power exemplifies Peterson’s ability to distill complex socio-political realities into singular, unforgettable images. This white edition removes any distraction and allows the viewer to focus entirely on the content and message. The absence of color echoes the perceived erasure of nuance in modern governance, where decisions are no longer dictated by ethical considerations but by financial allegiance. Peterson uses his background in design and graffiti to strip down the message to its essence—those who control money control the message, the law, and the people. Symbolism of Marching Figures and the Banner of Capital The figures in Money and Power are reduced to symbols of conformity and control. With robotic movements and identical expressions, they act not as protectors of the public, but as agents of a system that prioritizes wealth preservation over civic duty. The gun in each hand is not just a weapon—it is a metaphor for the threat that sustains the hierarchy. The saluting gesture, typically a sign of honor or loyalty, is here rendered as a chilling submission to corrupt ideology. Above them, the banner with a dollar sign takes the place of national or moral symbols, declaring money as the new flag under which modern societies march. This image captures what Peterson describes as gangster capitalism—an economy and government fused into a singular corrupt force that erodes public agency and the very foundation of democracy. Money and Power as a Landmark of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork This edition of Money and Power exists as both a work of fine art and a political poster, calling attention to the social decay born of greed and power consolidation. It stands firmly within the tradition of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, using accessible imagery to convey truths that are often ignored or downplayed in institutional settings. Peterson’s decision to limit the edition to 75 hand-pulled prints adds gravity to its message, making each piece a personal call to awareness and resistance. As street art evolved from rebellion to collectible, artists like Peterson have held firm to the medium’s roots—using public-facing visuals to voice dissent. This piece does not seek to comfort or beautify, but to warn. It captures a world where money no longer funds democracy but replaces it, revealing a cycle where power begets power and the people are simply marched along.

Peterson’s work is defined by flattened silhouettes, restricted color palettes, and confrontational imagery that strips human conflict down to symbolic extremes. Through disciplined screen printing and high contrast composition, Absolute Power reinforces his reputation as a leading contemporary voice in politically charged Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Inverted Authority and Stark Political Symbolism The composition presents an upside down suited figure suspended in a field of red, black, and white, evoking themes of overturned authority and destabilized power structures. In the background, architectural forms resembling government institutions appear alongside barren trees and stark landscape elements, intensifying the atmosphere of institutional critique. The limited palette amplifies the emotional force of the imagery, allowing negative space and silhouette to carry the narrative weight. Peterson’s approach draws on the visual immediacy associated with Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where simplified forms and bold contrasts deliver direct commentary without reliance on intricate detail. The inversion of the central figure functions as a visual metaphor for corrupted leadership and the precarious nature of control. Limited Edition Craftsmanship in Contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Absolute Power is printed on heavyweight Coventry Rag paper with deckled edges, reinforcing its status as a refined fine art multiple rather than a mass produced reproduction. The hand pulled silkscreen process ensures dense ink saturation and crisp edges, hallmarks of Peterson’s meticulous production standards. Limited to 150 signed and numbered impressions, the print follows the scarcity model that defines much of today’s Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork market. Through uncompromising imagery and disciplined execution, Absolute Power stands as a powerful example of how contemporary printmakers use bold graphic language to confront themes of authority, imbalance, and systemic violence.

In Honor of Vincent Jen Chin 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey x Gordon Cheung Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed & Numbered Screen Print IN HONOR OF VINCENT JEN CHIN 18 inches by 24 inches Edition of 350 August 18, 2021 Minor Bumbs To Extreme LowerLeft Facing Side In this politicised pandemic crisis through which the previous leader of the most powerful nation in the world labelled coronavirus as China-Virus and its various forms, the consequences of racist blame has led to manifold increases in hate crimes against Asians. I hope this collaboration between Shepard and myself can raise awareness about the long history of anti-Asian hate and the important legacy of Vincent Chin whose untimely death in 1982 galvanised the people to demand Asian American civil rights. This current crucial moment in history calls for a gathering of momentum where Asian diaspora voices should go loud and proud. To stand together, advocate for change and collectively build bridges of understanding over glass ceilings and walls of hate. -Gordon Cheung

Money and Power- Yellow Hand-Pulled 1-Color Silkscreen Print on Hand Deckled 290gsm Arches Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Artwork Size 18x18 "Money and Power have become primary drivers in the modern world, pushing us toward a corrupt society. The days when our leaders looked out for the people's interests have become a thing of the past—replaced by the strong man who squashes the voices of dissent to set things straight. Money elects leaders; in return, they owe a debt to the people that put them in Power—enacting our new public policy of greed and gangster capitalism. We slowly accept corruption, Law slowly fades away, and people begin to feel like democracy and a fair and equitable society were always just an illusion, a dream from the past that never really even existed." -Cleon Peterson Money and Power by Cleon Peterson – Yellow Edition Silkscreen Print in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Money and Power by Cleon Peterson is a visually forceful hand-pulled 1-color silkscreen print produced in a striking yellow edition. Created in 2022 as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 75, this 18x18 inch artwork is printed on 290gsm Arches rag paper with hand-deckled edges, reinforcing its raw and crafted authenticity. Set against a saturated yellow background, the black silhouettes of uniformed figures march in unison beneath a banner marked with a dollar sign. This aggressive formation of faceless, weapon-bearing agents symbolizes how capital and authority have become intertwined forces shaping modern life. The contrast of black on yellow sharpens the urgency of the message, evoking caution signs and industrial warnings, reflecting the dangers of unchecked power. It is a bold statement, stark and deliberately unambiguous in its critique of political and economic systems. Cleon Peterson’s Visual Protest Against Gangster Capitalism American artist Cleon Peterson, born in 1973, has become known for creating art that exposes the mechanics of dominance, submission, and systemic violence. In Money and Power, Peterson addresses what he terms gangster capitalism—the merging of financial interest and authoritarianism. This yellow edition is not merely an aesthetic variation; it magnifies the intensity of the warning. The figures are rendered without individuality, acting not as civil servants or protectors but as enforcers of a corrupt economic order. Each character, with one hand saluting and the other gripping a firearm, marches without deviation under a banner where money is the emblem. Peterson’s use of militarized repetition critiques the dehumanization that occurs when loyalty is bought and dissent is extinguished by force. The visual simplicity masks a deeply complex message: society has drifted from democratic ideals into a structure where the value of life is weighed against the price of power. Symbolism and Execution in the Yellow Silkscreen Edition This edition’s choice of yellow background plays a crucial role in reinforcing the thematic content. Yellow, typically associated with visibility and warning, brings a harsh clarity to the disturbing unity of the figures. It forces the viewer to confront the image directly, without distraction or ambiguity. The hand-pulled technique and 1-color silkscreen process ensure that each print carries the physical presence of the artist’s vision, resisting digital detachment. Hand-deckled paper adds an organic imperfection that contrasts with the mechanical rigidity of the marchers, underscoring the tension between individual craftsmanship and institutional conformity. The entire composition operates as a visual manifesto, presenting a world where money is not simply a tool but a banner under which violence, obedience, and corruption are normalized. Money and Power as a Defining Work in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Money and Power belongs squarely in the tradition of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. It communicates political urgency through direct visual language, staying rooted in the protest origins of graffiti and the bold iconography of pop art. Peterson’s work challenges systems of authority by confronting viewers with uncomfortable truths, using art not for decoration but for disruption. This yellow edition distills contemporary disillusionment into one unforgettable image, showing how democracy erodes when capital becomes the highest power. As with all of Peterson’s most impactful works, it does not ask for quiet reflection—it demands awareness and accountability. It stands as a limited yet forceful artifact of protest, frozen in print but echoing across modern political consciousness.

Broken Page Original Hand-Painted Multiple Mixed Media Spray Paint Artwork on Laser Cut Wood Panel ready to hang by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "My work speaks of impending doom and a lot of crass sinister themes, but that should not mean I desire this to happen at all. I hope my work would suggest only the opposite: to show the ridiculousness of it all and how we may find better solutions for the future." -Denial In the world of Denial, memory is important, because it is the basis of his work, as it nostalgically encourages the audience to engage with it. As a result, his art is as familiar, as it is disturbing because it reveals the most unsettling parts of society, the ones we are in a “denial” of. No matter its controversial history, graffiti is less and less viewed as a form of vandalism.

Downward Trajectory Hand-Pulled 4-Color Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 24x24 “Downward Trajectory is one of the many new works featured in my 30th-anniversary show in Los Angeles, “Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent and New Works,” -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey Downward Trajectory Silkscreen Print Downward Trajectory by Shepard Fairey is a 2019 hand-pulled four-color silkscreen print that distills industrial architecture, environmental symbolism, and graphic precision into a powerful example of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The composition features a modernist factory complex with three smokestacks releasing pale emissions into a sharply segmented sky of red, black, teal, and cream. In the foreground, two gas pumps sit beneath a minimal canopy, directly referencing fossil fuel infrastructure. The geometry is clean and deliberate, recalling mid-century industrial poster design while maintaining the confrontational clarity that defines Fairey’s visual identity. Printed on cream speckletone fine art paper, the subtle texture of the surface enhances the bold color blocking and reinforces the handcrafted quality of the silkscreen process. Environmental Commentary and Graphic Structure The title Downward Trajectory communicates a clear environmental warning, suggesting decline tied to industrial expansion and energy dependence. The angular divisions in the sky create tension and imbalance, visually reinforcing instability and ecological disruption. The dominant red fields introduce urgency, while the cooler industrial tones emphasize machinery, production, and systemic consumption. Fairey’s use of minimal forms and controlled palette ensures immediate legibility, a hallmark of effective Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Rather than relying on dense imagery, he reduces the scene to essential elements, allowing viewers to interpret the relationship between architecture, pollution, and resource extraction without distraction. The oil drop emblem placed in the upper corner functions as a subtle but direct reference to petroleum industry influence. Shepard Fairey Background and Edition Details Shepard Fairey’s real name is Frank Shepard Fairey. He was born in 1970 in the United States and remains active. Emerging from early street sticker campaigns and evolving into a globally recognized figure in contemporary urban art, he has consistently addressed themes of authority, corporate power, and environmental responsibility. Downward Trajectory continues that trajectory of socially engaged printmaking. This 24 by 24 inch silkscreen print is signed and numbered in a limited edition of 500. The four-color hand-pulled process demands precise registration and layering, ensuring sharp edges and consistent saturation throughout the edition. As a work of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Downward Trajectory merges disciplined design with pointed ecological critique, making it a compelling addition for collectors who prioritize concept-driven contemporary printmaking.

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

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
