{"title":"Shepard Fairey","description":"\u003cp\u003eShepard Fairey is the man behind OBEY GIANT, the graphics that have changed the way people see art and the urban landscape. What started with an absurd sticker he created in 1989 while studying at the Rhode Island School of Design has since evolved into a worldwide street art campaign, as well as an acclaimed body of fine art.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe OBEY GIANT campaign is rooted in the DIY counterculture of punk rock and skateboarding, but it has also taken cues from popular culture, commercial marketing and political messaging. Fairey steeps his ideology and iconography in the self-empowerment of those who refuse to be manipulated by the machine of manufactured consent. With biting sarcasm verging on reverse psychology, he goads viewers, using the imperative “obey, ” to take heed of the propagandists out to bend the world to their agendas.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2003, Fairey founded Studio Number One, a creative firm dedicated to applying his ethos wherever art and enterprise intersect. Building from Fairey's approach to design striking, thought-provoking work, the company has since evolved into its own creative entity and become one of the top boutique agencies in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFairey's art reached a new height of prominence in 2008, when his “HOPE ” portrait of Barack Obama became the iconic image of the presidential campaign and helped inspire an unprecedented political movement. The original image now hangs in the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with the Obama campaign, Fairey has also donated artwork and other contributions to charitable organizations such as the ACLU, MoveOn, Hope for Darfur, the Chiapas Relief Fund, marriage equality reform, 11th Hour Action, Hurricane Katrina relief, Southern California fire relief, shelters for L.A. teens, children's charities in Iraq and the U.S., Free the West Memphis 3, Feeding America, Adopt-a-Pet.com and the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAs Fairey's body of work reached its 20-year mark in 2009, the Institute of Contemporary Art ⁄Boston honored him with a full-scale solo retrospective, which drew a record number of visitors for the museum. Entitled Supply and Demand, the exhibit shares its name with Fairey's career-chronicling book, now in its second edition (Gingko Press). The exhibition ended a run at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, PA, and moved to the Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, OH which opened last February, 2010. In May 2010, Fairey unveiled a new collection of work through the gallery, Deitch Projects.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"obey-peace-series-shepard-fairey","title":"OBEY Peace Series","description":"\u003cp\u003ePP (Printers Proof)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree-color hand-pulled silkscreen on Rives, 100% cotton archival paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSigned by Shepard Fairey\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExclusive to PCP, embossed and validated by a Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shepard Fairey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":384138384,"sku":"SF00AR-SNC","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/6697\/products\/shepardfairey_obey_peace_series.jpg?v=1579804730"},{"product_id":"15242-obey-peace-series-2-shepard-fairey-15242","title":"OBEY Peace Series 2 (Doves)","description":"\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14 x 18 inches \/ Set of 3 prints\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAP (Artist Proof)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree-color hand-pulled silkscreen on Stonehenge Natural, 100% cotton archival paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSigned by Shepard Fairey\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExclusive to PCP, embossed, and validated by a Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n","brand":"Shepard Fairey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":17796343267379,"sku":"SF00AR-SNC-1418","price":600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/6697\/products\/2_dcc57c27-13cd-491a-8ab6-84cf73d0d3ad.jpg?v=1704226589"},{"product_id":"paint-it-black-series-archive","title":"OBEY Paint It Black Series","description":"\u003cp\u003e14 x 18 inches \/ Set of 3 prints\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo-color silkscreen on Somerset warm white, 100% cotton archival paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSigned by Shepard Fairey\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExclusive to PCP. Numbered, embossed, and validated by a Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shepard Fairey","offers":[{"title":"Limited Edition 300\/300","offer_id":47520957431971,"sku":"SF00AR-SNC-INV-SF-1","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Printers Proof (PP)","offer_id":47520957464739,"sku":"SF00AR-SNC-INV-SF-2","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/6697\/products\/main-image-natural.jpg?v=1579804729"},{"product_id":"geometric-dove-series-shepard-fairey","title":"OBEY Geometric Doves, Blue\/Orange","description":"\u003cp\u003eAP (Artist Proof)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePrints Signed by Shepard Fairey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3-Color Silkscreen Prints on Stonehenge Natural, 100% cotton archival paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmbossed and exclusive to PCP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValidated by a Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shepard Fairey","offers":[{"title":"Set of 3","offer_id":43883594514595,"sku":"SF00AR-SNC-1","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":43883594547363,"sku":"SF00AR-SNC-2","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":43883594580131,"sku":"SF00AR-SNC-3","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/6697\/products\/DOVE-3-NATURAL.jpg?v=1704226315"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/6697\/collections\/8eb26bdda85d80fd354547094a1e2582.jpg?v=1568940927","url":"https:\/\/posterchildprints.com\/collections\/shepard-fairey.oembed","provider":"Poster Child Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
