About the Item

Shepard Fairey Phenomenology in Bloom Screen print on 80# Cream Speckletone Paper Year: 2025 Size: 24 x 18 inches (60.96 x 45.72 cm) Edition: 500 Signed, dated and numbered by hand COA provided *Edition number may vary from the image shown. More than three decades ago, while studying at the Rhode Island School of Design, Shepard Fairey authored a paper originally titled A Social and Psychological Explanation of Andre the Giant Has a Posse for a course examining human factors and environmental controls in architecture. As an illustration major, Fairey drew from his own medium, focusing on what was then a nascent sticker project that would later become foundational to his career. The paper was eventually condensed into a single-page text—distributed alongside stickers—and renamed his manifesto. During the research process, Fairey encountered Martin Heidegger’s theory of phenomenology, a philosophical framework that resonated deeply and would come to define his artistic direction. At the time, the Andre the Giant Has a Posse campaign was only a year old, yet it was already provoking a broad spectrum of reactions and questions. Fairey became fascinated by the idea that small, mischievous acts of visual disruption could interrupt routine, complacency, and boredom—momentarily awakening viewers to their surroundings. Phenomenology, in this sense, became the conceptual seed from which his entire practice would grow. While sticker dissemination marked the beginning, Fairey’s enduring ambition has been to explore every possible platform for phenomenological engagement. This print serves as a reflection on the philosophical origins of Fairey’s work—a reminder that his art has always been rooted in perception, inquiry, and the power of imagery to challenge passive consumption. It stands as both a retrospective and a gesture of gratitude to those who have participated in and supported the journey.

Shepard Fairey Obey Billboard (Consume) Screen print on thick Cream Speckletone Paper Year: 2008 Size: 24 x 18 inches (60.96 x 45.72 cm) Edition: 400 Signed by Shepard Fairey, dated and numbered by hand COA provided *Edition number may vary from the image shown. Shepard Fairey (American, b. 1970) Obey Billboard (Consume) is Shepard Fairey's most direct provocation — a single imperative word deployed with full awareness of its absurdity. By framing the command to consume within the context of fine art, Fairey collapses the distance between advertising and culture, inviting the viewer to sit with the irony of purchasing a print that critiques the act of purchasing. The work is sincere in its critique and self-aware in its contradictions, making it one of the more intellectually generous objects in Fairey's practice. Shepard Fairey (b. 1970) rose from the underground to international prominence through his "OBEY" campaign and his iconic 2008 "Hope" portrait. A printmaker, muralist, and activist, his work consistently exposes the mechanics of influence, consumerism, and power. Held in major public collections worldwide, including the Smithsonian and MoMA, Fairey remains one of the defining voices of contemporary street art.
