A thematic overview of work from the protagonist of street-inspired, politically savvy graphic art
Shepard Fairey is the artist behind the moniker Obey, best known for designing the iconic HOPE poster from Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. Obey's work is distinguished by an essential and bold style with a minimalist palette guided by the hip-hop and punk cultures that taught the artist to question social conventions. The book is divided into sections, each centered around the most representative themes of Fairey's art: propaganda; peace and justice; environment; music; and new works. The book begins with a section dedicated to propaganda, featuring some of the artist's most significant images on this theme, beginning with HOPE. It then continues through works in the peace and justice section in which, through the power of images, Obey draws attention to issues such as human rights, abuse of power, war and peace.
