    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Idiocracy Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    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.

    Jon Burgerman United Tastes Of America Silkscreen Print by Jon Burgerman

    United Tastes Of America Limited Edition 2-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on 130lb Mohawk Vellum Fine Art Paper by Jon Burgerman Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "I decided to make flags for each game of the World Cup I watched this Summer. I wanted to spread my support for different countries and feel more like a global citizen, without any political or geographical ties. That’s the greatest gift football and other sports can offer, they can genuinely bring disparate people together for play.I re-imagined flags of different countries, adding a playful reference to that country within the design of the flag. America has one of the best flag designs there is, I really love it, and it was a lot of fun to work on. The first edition of this flag was with a burger and fries but the fries didn’t quite look right in red, so I turned them into bacon. Everyone seems to love bacon." - Jon Burgerman

  • Idiocracy AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Idiocracy AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Idiocracy AP Artist Proof Limited Edition 4-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey, Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "I’ve always felt that art, entertainment, and humor can be the best delivery vehicles for social commentary, so I love the way humor is used in “Idiocracy” to make the social critique more digestible.

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 The "Idiocracy" AP (Artist Proof) silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is a thought-provoking piece, symbolizing a potent blend of street art ingenuity with biting social commentary. Released as a limited edition in 2016, each piece in the series of 550 is hand-signed and numbered, affirming its exclusivity and value in the art community. Measuring 18x24 inches, this work is meticulously crafted through a 4-color hand-pulled silkscreen process onto fine art paper, a testament to Fairey’s dedication to quality and detail. Shepard Fairey, a trailblazer in the modern pop and street art scene, often infuses his work with social and political subtext. His "Idiocracy" print draws from the satirical film of the same name, utilizing its thematic core as a springboard for his own artistic expression. The movie's critique of a society in intellectual decline resonates with Fairey's own observations of contemporary culture, where anti-intellectualism is increasingly mainstream. Fairey's print channels the film’s irony, using the medium of pop art to comment on the potential dangers of a society that devalues knowledge and critical thinking. Fairey acknowledges the power of art, humor, and entertainment as catalysts for discussion and reflection on societal norms. By embedding these elements into his "Idiocracy" print, he not only captures the essence of the film's warning but also amplifies its message through his unique artistic lens. The print, which features the movie’s signature branding "Brawndo" and the tagline "It's got electrolytes!", satirically suggests that the brain craves not intellectual stimulation but rather a fictional beverage. This piece stands as a cultural artifact within the sphere of graffiti art, encapsulating the genre's inherent confrontation with social issues. Shepard Fairey's work is often characterized by its ability to transcend the boundaries of traditional art spaces, engaging with the public in environments that are unconventional yet visually impactful. The "Idiocracy" AP print continues this trend, marrying the rebellious spirit of street art with the evocative power of cinema to challenge viewers to consider the trajectory of cultural evolution.

  • Demagogue- Franz Ferdinand Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Demagogue- Franz Ferdinand Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Demagogue 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist For Musician Franz Ferdinand. Signed & Numbered Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 500 October 18, 2016 I’ve been a big fan of the band Franz Ferdinand since they first hit the scene in 2003. Stylistically, Franz mixes a pinch of glam rock, a nice serving of post-punk and a bit of dance-punk to create a sound that is irresistibly infectious. The band is undeniably stylish in their fashion and their album artwork which is frequently inspired by Russian Constructivism, one of my biggest inspirations as well. The lyrics of singer Alex Kapranos are witty, charming, and often insightful about human nature. Franz Ferdinand is a band of style and substance. -Shepard Fairey

United States USA & America
The United States, colloquially referred to as America, has been an influential force in the art world, particularly in the realms of pop art, street art, and graffiti art. Over the years, these genres have evolved, serving as powerful tools of expression, protest, and commentary on American culture, values, and society. Pop art emerged in the United States during the mid to late 1950s. Rooted in the post-war consumer culture, it fundamentally challenged the established perceptions of high art by integrating elements from popular and mass culture. America, with its vibrant consumerism, celebrity culture, and burgeoning advertising industry, provided a fertile ground for pop art. Artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein became synonymous with the movement, using imagery from consumer goods, comic strips, and celebrity portraits. Warhol's Campbell Soup Cans or Marilyn Monroe portraits are iconic examples of how pop art encapsulated America's fascination with consumerism and celebrity culture. Meanwhile, street art and graffiti, once considered a form of vandalism, have morphed into significant artistic genres in America. These styles often reflect the socio-political climate of their time, offering unfiltered and raw glimpses into the realities of American society. During the 1970s and 1980s, graffiti became a prominent part of the New York City urban landscape. Artists like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat started their artistic journeys on subway cars and street walls, eventually gaining international recognition for their distinctive styles. Their works often tackled themes of social inequality, systemic racism, and political power structures, offering a critique of American society from the fringes. Street art and graffiti continue to evolve in the 21st century. With the advent of social media and digital platforms, street artists have found a broader audience and more extensive influence. Artists like Shepard Fairey, famous for his "Obey Giant" campaign and the iconic "Hope" poster during Barack Obama's presidential campaign, use their art to engage with political issues and societal discourses. These works not only beautify urban spaces but also stimulate dialogue and debate, reinforcing the role of art as a potent tool for social commentary and change. The artistic representation of America through pop art, street art, and graffiti is a testament to the country's cultural dynamism and diversity. These art forms provide a kaleidoscopic view of the nation, capturing its zeitgeist across different periods. They reflect the complexity of the American narrative, marked by both its achievements and its struggles. Through the lens of these art forms, America emerges as a vibrant canvas of cultural expression and societal critique, revealing the multi-layered nature of its identity. As these genres continue to evolve, they will undoubtedly continue to shape and be shaped by the rich tapestry of American life.
