Shepard Fairey
Shepard Fairy "We The Future - Rise to Re ....." Silkscreen Signed and Dated

2018

About the Item

"Rise to Rewrite the Law" is a silkscreen offset on speckle tone paper that is the second in Shepard Fairey's crowdfunded WE THE FUTURE series. This work features Amanda Nguyen, the Vietnamese-American founder of the civil rights NGO Rise and drafter of the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act. As part of the WE THE FUTURE campaign her portrait was sent to twenty thousand schools in the United States to teach students about activism. The work is signed and dated in the lower right corner, and is unnumbered open edition work. Shepard Fairey is one of America's most well-known living artists. Born Frank Shepard Fairey in Charleston in 1970, Fairey came into prominence as a street artist and graphic designer whose works such as "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" and the Barack Obama "Hope" poster have become iconic within contemporary culture. He began his art career with doing pieces for skateboards and T-shirts before getting an education at the Rhode Island School of Design where he earned his BA in Illustration. Fairey's work draws on influences as diverse as the films of John Carpenter and the philosophy of Marshall McLuhan and Martin Heidegger. In addition to his work being found everywhere due to its viral and memetic nature, can also be found in collections at The Smithsonian, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London
