About the Item
Bias by Numbers (2017)
Shepard Fairey’s Bias by Numbers powerfully visualizes systemic inequities embedded within policing, criminal justice, and media narratives. The print presents chilling statistics—such as Black individuals being up to five times more likely to be stopped and searched, four times more likely to be subjected to unnecessary force or killed while unarmed, nearly six times more likely to be convicted of drug possession, and incarcerated at more than five times the rate of whites—layered into a bold, provocative image that urges the viewer to confront injustice.
Medium: Screen print on cream Speckletone paper
Dimensions: 18 × 24 inches
Edition: Limited edition of 450, signed and numbered
Release Date: July 18, 2017
Shepard Fairey (b. 1970, Charleston, SC) is an internationally acclaimed street artist, graphic designer, and activist. He rose to prominence with his Andre the Giant Has a Posse sticker campaign, which evolved into the culturally pervasive OBEY project. Fairey achieved widespread recognition with his 2008 Obama “Hope” poster, establishing himself as an artist who fuses visual aesthetics with political activism. His work is held in major institutions such as MoMA, the Smithsonian, and LACMA.
Fairey embeds raw statistical data within a stark visual frame, reminiscent of wartime propaganda—direct, urgent, and loaded with meaning.
This print aligns with Fairey’s longstanding commitment to using art as a tool for awareness and social change—seamlessly blending aesthetic impact with educational weight.
The stark presentation of data visualizes real inequities in policing and media portrayal, forcing viewers to reckon with systemic bias.
The simple format—clean paper, bold numbers, and authoritative tone—ensures the message hits with maximum impact.
Imagine entering a room where an 18 x 24 print instantly commands attention. The title Bias by Numbers hovers over stark statistics that hit like headlines: the unequal treatment of Black individuals in policing, sentencing, and incarceration. You don’t just see numbers—each figure exposes a pattern of systemic bias. This is not mere graphic design—it’s a call to awareness, crafted with precision and intent.

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 prints, 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.
