  • Peoples Climate March- To Change Everything We Need Everyone Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Peoples Climate March- To Change Everything We Need Everyone Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Peoples Climate March- To Change Everything We Need Everyone Limited Edition 3-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. People’s Climate March – To Change Everything We Need Everyone Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 300 September 18, 2014. 'Most of you know that I am very concerned about the dangers of climate change. Dick Cheney said “if there is even a 1% chance of a terrorist attack, we must do everything in our power to be prepared”. 95% or more of the scientific community agrees that climate change is happening, and is a dramatic threat to the planet, yet far less is being done to fight climate change than to fight terrorism. It’s a good thing the streets of New York will be flooded soon — with hundreds of thousands of people demanding solutions to our out-of-control climate crisis. It’s both an honor and a calling of my conscience for me to contribute a poster to the People’s Climate March effort and get something urgent across about one of the biggest threats facing present and future generations. Lady Liberty and all of us are in trouble if we don’t push our leaders to take bold action.' -Shepard Fairey

  • Know Your Rights Large Format Serigraph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Know Your Rights Large Format Serigraph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Know Your Rights- Large Format Limited Edition Hand Pulled 1-Color Serigraph Print on Varnished 100% Cotton Rag Archival Paper with hand-deckled edges by Shepard Fairey Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2014 Signed & Numbered Serigraph Artwork 42 x 42 inchesAugust 21, 201. 42 x 42 Large Format Serigraph.1 Color printed on Varnished 100% Cotton Rag Archival Paper. "Know Your Rights" is a commanding serigraph by Shepard Fairey, an artist who has cemented his place in the contemporary art scene through works that intertwine the ethos of street art with the aesthetic of modern pop art. This piece, released on August 21, 2014, is particularly noteworthy not only for its bold political message but also for the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into the production of each print. As an extensive format work, measuring an impressive 42 x 42 inches, it makes an indelible mark on the viewer, both through its scale and its strikingly stark one-color presentation on varnished 100% cotton rag archival paper, complete with hand-deckled edges. Shepard Fairey is renowned for blending fine art with the raw, in-your-face quality of street art and graffiti, and "Know Your Rights" is a prime example of this synthesis. The piece is anchored by a central image featuring an open book titled "THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN," encapsulating a message of empowerment and the potential for change. This is framed by laurels and a lit torch, evoking classic motifs that signify victory, knowledge, and enlightenment. The bordering texts "OBEY PROPAGANDA" and "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS" play into Fairey's recurring themes of propaganda, control, and the dissemination of information, urging the viewer to question authority and the narratives they are presented with. Each print in this limited edition is signed and numbered by Fairey, signifying its authenticity and connection to the artist's hand. The decision to use a one-color palette speaks to the work's assertive simplicity and Fairey's skill in using contrast and texture to convey depth and resonance. It's a technique that mirrors his street art roots, where messages must be given quickly and memorably. The serigraph process, a labor-intensive method of screen printing, ensures that each impression is of the highest quality, with the varnishing on the cotton rag paper adding a durable, tactile finish that also enhances the visual impact. "Know Your Rights" stands as a powerful statement in Fairey's oeuvre, reflecting his social and political advocacy rendered through his distinct pop art lens. This artwork resonates with the immediacy of street art and carries the weight of historical art traditions, bridging contemporary concerns with timeless expressions of resistance and hope.

Shepard Fairey- OBEY> Pop Artist Graffiti Street Artworks

The Impactful Journey of Shepard Fairey and the OBEY Movement

Shepard Fairey, the artist behind the OBEY phenomenon, is a monumental figure in street pop art and graffiti artwork. Bursting onto the scene with his "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" sticker campaign in the late 1980s, Fairey's work has since evolved into a globally recognized brand, symbolizing a fusion of art, activism, and branding that has come to define modern street art. His work is characterized by bold, often provocative imagery that encourages viewers to question the mechanics of power structures and the role of media and propaganda in contemporary society. Fairey's approach to art is deeply rooted in the do-it-yourself ethos of punk rock and skateboarding cultures, which inform the anti-establishment themes prevalent in his work. His pieces often juxtapose symbols of authority with countercultural messages, creating a robust visual dialogue that challenges observers to reconsider their surroundings. Fairey's ability to disseminate his work widely, from urban walls to galleries to commercial products, has made his art accessible to a broad audience and helped elevate street art to mainstream recognition.

Shepard Fairey's Artistic Evolution and Signature Style

Over the years, Fairey's work has transcended its underground beginnings to command a significant presence in the art world. His iconic "Hope" poster, created during Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, is perhaps one of the most recognized works of contemporary street art, epitomizing the potential for this medium to impact public discourse. Fairey's style—a combination of stenciling, collage, and painting—exemplifies his unique ability to blend fine art techniques with the grit and immediacy of street art. The signature style of Fairey's pieces, marked by a limited but striking color palette and recurring motifs such as the star, the sunburst, and the OBEY logo, is instantly recognizable and speaks to the artist's concerns with branding and the commodification of art and culture. By adopting mass communication and production methods, Fairey's work comments on and utilizes the very mechanisms it often critiques.

Shepard Fairey's Contributions to Street Pop Art and Cultural Discourse

As an artist, Shepard Fairey has played a crucial role in advancing street pop art. His work has been instrumental in the dialogue about the legitimacy of street art and its place in cultural history. Fairey's art is not content to exist for aesthetic appreciation; it seeks to engage, provoke, and inspire action, reflecting his deeply held belief in art as a catalyst for social and political change. Moreover, Fairey's collaborations with other artists and forays into different mediums—from murals to music album covers to fashion—reflect the interdisciplinary nature of street art. His work with Niagara on 'Tomorrow's Another Night' and other collaborations highlight his commitment to creative partnerships that push the boundaries of traditional art forms and expand the reach of street-inspired aesthetics. Shepard Fairey is a pillar of the street pop art movement. His OBEY campaign has grown from a grassroots sticker initiative into a multifaceted project that encompasses art, design, activism, and apparel, illustrating the expansive potential of street art. Through his diverse body of work, Fairey continues to challenge perceptions, encourage public engagement, and leave an indelible mark on the cultural landscape. His legacy includes his iconic visual contributions and his commitment to the power of art as a tool for empowerment and change.
