A MUST HAVE print for any Shepard Fairey, Obey Giant, Pop Art,or Street Art Fan! Shepard Fairey (American, b.1970) is a renowned graphic artist known for his work on the images of Andre the Giant and the word obey. Fairey was born in Charleston, SC, and he became interested in art as a young man, when he started to use his drawings on T-shirts and skateboards. Fairey's father is a doctor, and his mother is a realtor. The artist attended Idyllwild Arts Academy in Palm Springs, CA, and graduated in 1988. He earned his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, RI, in 1992. While in school, Fairey held a part-time job in a skateboarding shop; the job fit well with the budding artist's interest in street culture and graffiti. During this time, the artist was also interested in punk music, and when a friend asked him to explain and demonstrate the creation of a stencil, he chose to use the banal image of Andre the Giant on a newspaper ad for the demonstration. Soon after that, Fairey introduced his pieces to the streets via Graffiti Art. Two of Fairey's well-known pieces are Obey (1992) and Hope (2008). Hope is an iconic portrait of the American president Barack Obama that Fairey produced during the 2008 American presidential campaign. Fairey has been involved in both solo and group exhibitions in diverse places. He has held solo exhibitions in Capsule, Birmingham, England (2000); Kantor Gallery Window, New York, NY (2003); and Merry Karnosky Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2007). Examples of his group exhibitions include those held at CPOP Gallery, Detroit, MI, (2001); Ducky Waddles Emporium, Encinitas, CA (2004); and OXOP Gallery, Minneapolis, MN (2006). Fairey received the Brit Insurance Design of the Year Award in 2009 for his Hopeposter. The artist has been involved in different controversies, mainly related to the allegations that he uses other artists' work without permission. Fairey was commissioned by Time Magazine in 2011 to design a cover for the magazine. Fairey is represented by Irvine Contemporary gallery in Washington, DC. The artist lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
