Shepard Fairey - Obey Giant - Welcome Visitor - Urban Graffiti Street Art

2018

About the Item

"Welcome Visitor is an exploration of the contradictions between America's tourism industry and it's immigration policies; the uncomfortable collision of economic opportunism and xenophobia. I understand that immigration is a complex issue, but a basic belief in the humanity and dignity of all people is not that complicated and should be what is paramount in deciding our policies around both immigration and tourism. The fear around immigration is not based on fact. Crime rates are lower for immigrants than they are for native-born citizens." - Shepard Shepard Fairey - Obey Giant - Welcome Visitor - Large Format - Urban Graffiti Street Art Screen Print Year: 2018 Class: Limited Edition Art Print Released: 04/05/18 Run: 75 Technique: Screen Print Paper: Cream 100% Cotton Archival Size: 47.5 X 33.5 Markings: Signed & Numbered Manufacturer: Obey Giant Acquired during the online release from the artist 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 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.
