About the Item
Shepard Fairey's "Target Exceptions" print offers a poignant reflection on the challenges faced by individuals aspiring to visit or immigrate to the United States. Through this thought-provoking artwork, Fairey delves into the complexities of the immigration process, shedding light on the various target criteria that determine the eligibility of potential candidates. In a world where the "American Dream" beckons as a symbol of hope and opportunity, Fairey's piece reminds us that many deserving individuals are deemed exceptions to the established qualifications, particularly in the context of prevailing attitudes and policies of the current administration.
The artwork presents a striking visual featuring Fairey's iconic style, using a blend of powerful imagery and symbolic elements to convey its message. By drawing attention to the dichotomy between the desired dream and the restrictive reality, "Target Exceptions" calls for empathy and understanding towards those affected by such immigration hurdles.
Shepard Fairey's reputation as a contemporary artist and graphic designer precedes him. Born on February 15, 1970, in Charleston, South Carolina, Fairey has gained global recognition for his profound influence on modern art and activism. His commitment to addressing political and social issues through his work has earned him a prominent position within the art world. Fairey's artistic journey began with street art and has evolved into a diverse body of work that seamlessly blends political messaging, pop culture references, and iconic symbolism.
As a co-founder of Studio Number One and the art collective BLK/MRKT Inc., Shepard Fairey continues to push the boundaries of artistic expression and its capacity to inspire change. His work has been exhibited worldwide, making a lasting impact on both art enthusiasts and social activists alike.
Shepard Fairey's art is rooted in a blend of influences that shape its distinctive character. His early experiences with street art and punk culture have left an indelible mark on his style, infusing it with a rebellious spirit and DIY ethos. Additionally, Fairey draws inspiration from the world of propaganda and political messaging, referencing historical movements like Soviet Constructivism and Chinese Cultural Revolution art to create powerful visual narratives.
Contemporary politics and social issues serve as another significant source of inspiration for Fairey's work. His art acts as a medium to challenge the status quo, provoke critical thinking, and advocate for positive change in society.

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.
