"I originally designed this poster for the first-ever show at my gallery Subliminal Projects in ’95 and now they’re releasing a limited edition Screen print, remixed by my creative agency Studio Number One"- Shepard Fairey
The "Twenty One AP Silkscreen Print" is a captivating piece that encapsulates a significant era in the world of contemporary art, skillfully crafted by the collaborative efforts of SNO and the iconic Shepard Fairey, better known as OBEY. This Artist Proof (AP) hand-pulled screen print on fine art paper stands as a testament to the brilliance of street art evolving into a recognized and esteemed form of expression. Intriguingly, this work is not just an embodiment of artistic prowess but also a nod to the rich history of its origins. Shepard Fairey himself shed light on the creation of this work, revealing that its design was initially crafted for the inaugural show at his gallery, Subliminal Projects, back in 1995. Fast forward to 2017, and the same design was given new life and reinterpretation through a limited edition screen print. This refreshing take was made possible by Fairey's creative agency, Studio Number One, blending the original aesthetics with modern influences. The print stands as a fusion of the old and the new, much like the artists it represents. Coinciding with this release was the inception of "Twenty-One," a group show commemorating the 21-year journey of Subliminal Projects. Hosted in June of 2017, the exhibition aimed to recapture the essence of the early DIY style exhibitions that were foundational to Subliminal's identity. Aptly named "TWENTY-ONE," it saluted the artists pivotal to the gallery's history, celebrating those who have shaped its past and those who promise a dynamic future. As the print and the exhibition intertwine, they offer a glimpse into the enduring spirit and evolution of street art over the decades.
