ABOUT THE ART

"These Incarnation prints are based on fine art I created for my Photo Synthesis show at Fotografiska using collage, translucent spray paint layers, and paint blotted with pattern stencils. I’m very pleased by how nicely the prints translate the character and subtleties of the fine art. The portrait of a woman clutching a carnation close to her chest while making direct eye contact with the viewer is meant to signify a protective stance on environmental health."

-Shepard Fairey

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Frank Shepard Fairey (born February 15, 1970) is an American contemporary graphic designer, and illustrator who emerged from the skateboarding scene. He first became known for his "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" (…OBEY…) sticker campaign, in which he appropriated images from the comedic supermarket tabloid Weekly World News. His work became more widely known in the 2008 U.S. presidential election, specifically his Barack Obama "Hope" poster.

The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston calls him one of today's best known and most influential street artists. His work is included in the collections at The Smithsonian, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
