About the Item

Shepard Fairey - Obey Giant - Wave of Distress : Blue Ed. "World Water Day is Monday and is a fitting day to precede the release of these Wave of Distress prints. World Water Day not only focuses attention on the water crisis and drinking water, but it is also a day of reflection to celebrate water. So I wanted to share a new piece of art that I think gives consciousness to water. I've done several wave illustrations over the years because I love the power and beauty of waves. The crashing waves and cycle of tides seem endlessly reliable, but ocean health is diminishing in many places. The title Wave of Distress is meant to be a warning. Distress means "suffering in a state of great trouble." If the oceans are in trouble, then the entire planet will be overcome by a wave of distress. The oceans regulate climate and reduce climate change impacts and provide an important habitat and source of food for many species, including humans. These prints are a reminder to respect and restore the oceans." -Shepard Artists: Fairey, Shepard Manufacturer: Obey Giant Year: 2021 Class: Art Print Released: 03/23 /21 Run: 400 Technique: Screen Print Paper: Thick white Speckletone Size: 18 X 24 Markings: Signed & Numbered About Shepard Fairey: 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.
