shepard fairey

Shepard Fairey is the American street artist and graphic designer behind two of the most recognised images of modern times, the OBEY Giant campaign and the Barack Obama HOPE poster. His bold, poster-style work fuses street art, propaganda graphics and activism.Our Shepard Fairey canvas and framed prints bring that striking red, cream and black palette and powerful graphic punch to a living room, office, studio or student space.Fairey began with the Andre the Giant sticker campaign in the late 1980s, which grew into the global OBEY phenomenon, a study in how a simple, repeated image can take on a life of its own.His HOPE portrait became the defining image of the 2008 US election and cemented his reputation as an artist whose work carries a message as much as a look.The signature style, all bold outlines, decorative patterning and a tight, limited palette, reads brilliantly at scale and gives any wall an instant sense of energy and purpose.Each Shepard Fairey piece is available across our full range of finishes, from ready-to-hang stretched canvas and framed prints to floating frames, fine-art paper and rolled canvas, printed to order in Australia.
