Shepard Fairey Art
American, b. 1970
Expanding on the legacies of artists such as Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, Shepard Fairey’s practice disrupts the distinction between fine and commercial art.
A major artist of the street art movement, Fairey rose to prominence in the early 1990s through the dispersion of prints, posters, stickers and murals, related to his Obey Giant campaign, which yielded an international cultural phenomenon. Fairey’s iconic poster of President Barack Obama was adopted as the official emblem associated with the presidential campaign and encapsulates a number of recurring concerns in the artist’s work, including propaganda, portraiture and political power.

Shepard Fairey "Sub-Standard" Silkscreen Print Street Contemporary Art Dove
By Shepard Fairey
Located in Draper, UT
"This print is a comment on the relationship between corporate greed, fossil fuels, and the warming of the planet and collapsing ecosystems. Standard operating, pushed by players like Standard Oil and its many offshoots, should be redefined as sub-standard. If we want to maintain the standard of health our planet needs to avoid catastrophe, we can't allow big oil to put profits before the planet and profits before people (as well as many other threatened species). Keep in mind that big oil, which is already very profitable, is subsidized by you, the taxpayer, for up to $50 billion per year. In contrast, renewable energy sources are subsidized for only a quarter of that amount. We need to push for change." -Shepard Fairey
A portion of proceeds from this print went to Greenpeace USA.

Shepard Fairey Monkey Pod VSE Red & Gold Hand Stenciled
By Shepard Fairey
Located in Draper, UT
"This Monkey Pod VSE (Variable Stencil Edition) is a collaboration produced with my good friend and former co-worker Ernesto Reyna Each piece is a stencil painting with letterpress lantern images glued in position to add an additional dimension to the art. The price difference between the two variable editions is because of the greater technical and labor-intensive demands of the red and gold version. A portion of the proceeds from these stencil pieces will go to the NRDC to support their efforts to improve environmental regulations and policies.
I originally made the Monkey Pod image based on a tree on the grounds of The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu, where I completed a residency back in 2005. I was presented with a unique conundrum: Hawaii doesn't have outdoor advertising, which my street art was designed to compete with and make people question. After visiting Hawaii, I realized that the primary form of propaganda was not advertising but the cliches of Hawaii itself: Coke machines...

Rare Welcome Visitor Large Format Print Signed and Numbered with COA
By Shepard Fairey
Located in Draper, UT
The “Welcome Visitor” diptych is a thought-provoking exploration of the contradictions inherent in America's tourism industry and its immigration policies. Through this striking artwork, Shepard Fairey delves into the uncomfortable collision of economic opportunism and xenophobia. The piece reflects on the historical context of America as a melting pot, symbolized by the Ellis Island narrative and the hope of embracing diversity. However, it also draws attention to the contemporary climate of fear and scapegoating faced by Latino and Muslim communities.
The diptych specifically highlights past events like the immigration ban and internment of Japanese individuals, including Japanese-American citizens during World War II, when unfounded fear led to prejudiced policies against them. Shepard Fairey skillfully uses this historical reference to shed light on the irrational and disproportionate fear. By contrasting the past with the present, Fairey aims to inspire contemplation and empathy, urging viewers to consider the humanity and dignity of all people as a paramount factor in shaping immigration and tourism policies.
Shepard Fairey is a renowned contemporary artist and graphic designer whose work often explores political and social themes. Born on February 15, 1970, in Charleston, South Carolina, Fairey gained widespread recognition for his iconic "Hope" poster created during Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. His art has since become synonymous with activism and social commentary. Fairey's unique style combines elements of street art, pop culture, and political messaging, earning him a prominent place in the world of contemporary art.
In addition to his prolific career as a visual artist, Shepard Fairey co-founded the design studio Studio Number One and the art collective BLK/MRKT Inc. He has exhibited his work in galleries and museums around the globe, leaving a lasting impact on the art world and beyond. Fairey's art continues to inspire dialogue and challenge societal norms, urging viewers to question and engage with the issues he addresses.
Shepard Fairey's art is influenced by various sources, including street art, punk rock aesthetics, propaganda imagery, and political movements. He credits the DIY ethos of punk culture and the rebellious spirit of street art for shaping his artistic vision. Fairey's fascination with propaganda and political art from historical movements, such as Soviet Constructivism and Chinese Cultural Revolution...
