Shepard Fairey - Obey Giant - Wake Up Earth - Urban Graffiti Street Art

2020

About the Item

"This Wake Up Earth letterpress is an urge for us all to be alert, conscious, and analytical. Disinformation, division, and apathy have led to the weakening of pillars of our democracy, an ineffective response to Covid-19, and a lack of meaningful action on environmental destruction and climate change. We accomplish amazing things when we unite and focus on constructive goals, planting seeds, and nurturing them together until they bloom. There are many crucial things going on that demand us to wake up, mobilize, and live with our eyes and minds open! This print applies to many things, but I’ve chosen to donate proceeds to Natural Resources Defense Council to support their work toward legislation that protects the environment for all of our futures." - Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey - Obey Giant - Wake Up Earth - Letterpress - Urban Graffiti Street Art Print Year: 2020 Class: Art Print Released: 08/06/20 Run: 500 Technique: Letterpress Paper: Cream Cotton Size: 10 X 13 Markings: Signed & Numbered Manufacturer: Aardvark Letterpress Obey publishing chop in lower left corner. Acquired during the online release from the artist 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 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.
