The volume is dedicated to Shepard Fairey (Charleston, 1970), one
of the best known urban art artists in the world. Established under
the pseudonym of OBEY thanks to a successful campaign of stickers
spread in a viral way, depicting the face of wrestling champion
Andre The Giant, the American artist has achieved international
visibility thanks to the portrait of Obama, immortalised in the
iconic 2008 'Hope' poster for his presidential campaign. In these
pages the artist presents 30 recent unpublished graphic works
(2019), which retrace 30 years of activity through his most famous
icons: many social and political themes that inspired his
production, from the struggle for peace and against racial
violence, the defense of human and gender dignity up to environment
protection. The graphics constitute a unique and unrepeatable
concept, designed specifically for the Gallery of Modern Art in
Rome, where they are put in dialogue with important works from the
contemporary art collection of the Capitoline Superintendence,
selected by the artist himself. The volume, with an intervention by
Shepard Fairey and numerous critical texts, is completed by a
biography and bibliographical apparatus. Text in English and
Italian.
