Shepard Fairey The Clash Joe Strummer Silkscreen Print Street Contemporary Art

2023

About the Item

With my ICONS art show happening this weekend, it made sense to celebrate the musical and philosophical icon Joe Strummer, lead singer and lyricist of the Clash who are my all-time favorite band. Joe Strummer is a hero of mine for his music, lyrics, wit, compassion for the underdog, and stance against injustice. Joe is also known for the phrase “The Future is Unwritten,” which is a mantra I live by. As a teen I was fueled by the fury of punk, but Joe added heart and intellect to punk in a way that grew with me as I realized that anger without meaningful purpose is a dead end. I was honored to collaborate on this art with photographer Jenny Lens whose candid shots of the early Punk scene are amazing. - Shepard Here’s what Jenny has to say about the picture: The Clash, Santa Monica Civic, March 4, 1980. No cameras allowed in the venue. I was seduced by three of the Clash road crew. Not all at once. They gave me onstage access without begging. Nice. I drove my fave, Topper’s roadie, Baker, for westside band errands. He later told me I was “a fair maiden.” Oh. Being on the guest list, I could shoot standing on the stage. I took this spontaneous photo of the FAB Joe Strummer backstage. Thank you Shep for finding the precise power and beauty in my photo. Joe’s expressive face. Which I see so often in my many amazing live Clash photos. I am always quoting “Know Your Rights” to others. I constantly remind them and myself “The future is unwritten.” My mottos pre-and-post-punk. Long Live The Clash and Joe Strummer! - Jenny Lens Edition Details: Year: 2023 Class: Fine Art Print Status: Official Run: 50/550 Technique: Screen Print Paper: Fine Art Cream Speckletone Paper with Gold Metallic Inks Size: 18 X 24 Markings: Signed & Numbered by the artist in pencil, Shepard Fairey.

“Equal Rights, Flower of Democracy” Chuck Sperry Screenprint
By Chuck Sperry
Located in Draper, UT
I am very happy to reveal my poster to raise awareness for the Equal Rights Amendment. This issue means so much to me. Equality is the central issue of our day. “Equality is the flower of democracy. Passing the Equal Rights Amendment — at long last — will be the path to gender equality for our American democracy. I am grateful to be called upon to include my voice in the collective call to bring about gender equality by amending the Constitution with passage of the ERA, and I was quick to reach out to fellow artists to join the call to action.” — Chuck Sperry, artist statement for Artists 4 ERA VoteEqualityUS is a nonpartisan grassroots effort promoting equal rights for all Americans, working to ensure the addition of the fully-ratified 28th Amendment (Equal Rights) to the United States Constitution...
