A thematic overview of work from the protagonist of street-inspired, politically savvy graphic art
Shepard Fairey is the artist behind the moniker Obey, best known for designing the iconic HOPE poster from Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. Obey's work is distinguished by an essential and bold style with a minimalist palette guided by the hip-hop and punk cultures that taught the artist to question social conventions. The book is divided into sections, each centered around the most representative themes of Fairey's art: propaganda; peace and justice; environment; music; and new works.
Los Angeles-based artist Shepard Fairey (born 1970) is considered a leading figure in both contemporary street art and street style alike. Many of his designs, such as his 1989 sticker campaign featuring an image of André the Giant and the text Obey or his 2008 portrait of Barack Obama with the caption Hope, are instantly recognizable the world over.
