About the Item

SHEPARD FAIREY Bureau of Public Works (on Wood), 2004 Silkscreen on wood panel. Hand signed and annotated on both the recto and verso. In original handmade artist's frame. 24 × 18 inches Edition AP. There was, separately a regular silkscreen on paper edition this work, but this is a unique proof on wood panel. Hand signed and numbered AP on the front as well as the back Framed: held in artists original frame "Bureau of Public Works" was featured in the 2005 Shepard Fairey exhibition "Visual Disobedience" at the Ox-Op Gallery in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This work was created by the artist expressly for the OX-OP Gallery in Minneapolis, Minnesota for Fairey's "Visual Disobedience" exhibition that ran from September 3rd – October 4th, 2005. The press materials for the exhibition read: ".. In his smart designs, Fairey proves to be as visually savvy as he is intellectually astute. In a throwback to the days of Soviet propaganda, he uses reds and pattern work reminiscent of U.S.S.R. gear. Against this backdrop, the print on wood "Stay Up Girl” features a fifties-era young woman with a spray-paint can in one hand and an Obey bill in the other. Below her is the slogan “Think and create, paint and destroy,” a simple but piercing phrase. With this visually slick pull into the notorious days of communism, Fairey brings the viewer to the line between propaganda and screechy advertisements..." One of the most influential street artists working today, Shepard Fairey has created political works across several mediums, including stickers, screenprints, and spray paint. Originating underground, his art has become prominent in both pop culture and the art world, embracing marketing and advertising strategies, as well as political and social activism. Challenging the status quo, one of his most famous projects, Obey Giant (1990-present), illustrated Fairey's interest in phenomenology and subversion, as he quietly placed his Andre the Giant stickers in cities across the world. His poster Hope became the defining image of the 2008 presidential campaign, capturing Barack Obama's message for change with bold colors and clean lines.
