Shepard Fairey
Paint It Black, Shepard Fairey, Obey, Activism Street Art Letterpress

2020

About the Item

Paint it Black by Shepard Fairey, Activism Street Art Print. Released as a larger letterpress with a deckle edge, having dimensions of 14.5 inches by 19 inches. This comes from an edition of 450. "Paint it Black, in addition to referencing a great Rolling Stones song, is about oil dictating too much of our energy policy and our foreign policy. Imagine if all the money spent on wars and strategic interests in the Middle East had been spent on developing green energy alternatives? Instead, our government subsidizes the highly profitable oil and gas industries for $40 billion a year, because no politician wants a rise in the price of gas to be blamed on them. Newsflash: we are still paying more for gas whether it’s at the pump or through our taxes. The need for gas will remain, but we need to invest in sustainable energy alternatives as we transition off of the finite supply of fossil fuels that are also terrible for CO2 emissions. Proceeds from this print will go to NRDC to support their efforts to shape responsible environmental policy. Thanks for caring." -Shepard Shepard Fairey is a major influencer in the street art movement along side Banksy, Mr. Brainwash, and others. He has gained notoriety as a graphic artist, muralist, and an expert in mixed media. He was born on February 15, 1970 and is now based in Los Angeles, California. Fairey grew up in the skateboarding and punk rock culture, and may also be most well known for his 2008 "Hope" poster of then U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama. Our gallery takes pride in providing only the highest quality pieces, stored and shipped with acid free tissue paper. Stored flat, with no signs of wear.
