    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

Red Color Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Red: A Bold Statement in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Red in the Spectrum of Street Art Expression

Red, often seen as the most assertive and dynamic of all colors, casts its passionate hue across the expansive canvas of street pop art and graffiti artwork. With its bold nature, red is not just a color—it's a declaration, a visual exclamation that demands attention and conveys intensity. Its application in the urban art scene is diverse, from the deepest burgundies to the brightest scarlets, each shade imbued with its unique energy and symbolism.

Techniques and Textures: Red's Artistic Flexibility

Artistically, red's versatility is found in its ability to stand alone and its power to accentuate when paired with other colors. The techniques employed by street artists to apply red vary greatly, from aerosol sprays that offer a misty overlay to bold brush strokes that provide texture and depth. Red in street pop art is not merely a visual tool; it's a tactile experience. The texture of red paint can range from glossy finishes that reflect the city's lights to matte surfaces that absorb and soften the intensity of the hue, each technique chosen to convey a specific message or feeling.

Cultural Resonance of Red in Urban Imagery

Culturally, red has a potent resonance, often associated with powerful emotions and ideas such as love, anger, danger, and strength. Street pop art and graffiti leverage these associations to deliver impactful artwork that can resonate universally. The color red is frequently utilized to draw the viewer's focus to critical elements of a piece, highlighting areas the artist deems most significant or using the color's signal-like quality to convey cautionary messages and urgent statements.

Compositional Strategies with Red in Art

Regarding composition, red's role in street pop and graffiti artwork is multifaceted. It can starkly contrast cooler hues, creating a visual disruption that can energize or unsettle the viewer. Conversely, when red is set against warmer tones, it can evoke feelings of warmth and comfort. The strategic placement of red within a piece can alter the viewer's perception of space, with deeper reds receding in the visual field and brighter reds advancing, a technique artists use to create movement and depth.

Symbolic Use of Red in Street Pop Art and Graffiti

Symbolically, red is laden with meaning in the context of street pop art and graffiti. It's a color that signifies everything from political affiliations to personal identity. In the urban landscape, where art serves as a voice for the voiceless, red is often the color of choice for expressing defiance and resilience. Its application is deliberate, with artists selecting the shade of red that best communicates the spirit of their message.

Evolution of Red in Urban Artistic Practice

As we consider the evolution of color used in street art, red's significance only seems to amplify. Its historical use in political and protest art continues to influence contemporary artists, who see red as a means of connecting with a rich legacy of visual activism. With advances in paint technology and application methods, the vibrancy and longevity of red in street art have increased, allowing it to maintain its potency and message over time, even in the face of environmental challenges. Red's place in street pop art and graffiti is undeniable. It is a color that can elevate a piece from mere visual noise to a poignant statement. Its shades can signify many themes and messages, from the urgency of revolution to the pulse of love that beats through city streets. As an element of the urban visual lexicon, red is as essential as the very walls it adorns, a color that will continue to be used to captivate, communicate, and challenge viewers around the world.
