"OBEY" - iconic works by Shepard Fairey (part ll)
Hot on the heels of the Shepard Fairey sellout collection at Urban Uprising in March, we proudly present a new collection of the artists iconic works. For those who missed out last time we have amassed over 30 of his best loved prints and skate decks.
"For the uninitiated, Shepard Fairey is an American contemporary artist, graphic designer, and illustrator who emerged from the skateboarding scene in the 1980's. He first became known for his "André the Giant Has a Posse" (...OBEY...) sticker campaign, in which he appropriated images from the comedic super market tabloid Weekly World News.
Fairey became more widely known in the 2008 U.S. presidential election, specifically his Barack Obama "HOPE" poster. The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston calls him one of today's best known and most influential street artists.
His work is included in the collections at The Smithsonian, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. (Wikipedia)
