Shepard Fairey – OBEY GIANT

 

Shepard Fairey (Charleston, 1970) is the artist behind Obey. Best known for the “HOPE†poster, a portrait of Barack Obama and an emblem of the 2008 presidential campaign, Obey’s style is essential and bold, with a minimalist palette, influenced by the hip-hop and punk cultures. These cultures have taught the artist to challenge social conventions. This is the ethos Fairey infuses into all his artworks, inviting the audience to question and take a stance on current issues of great relevance.
