Shepard Fairey: A Call to Action Against Oppressive Hierarchies and Abuses of Power
Shepard Fairey was born in Charleston (S.C.) and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. His powerful and varied body of work has drawn from all aspects of our visual culture, from political posters to museum installations. Fairey’s integration of design, popular culture, and politics places him in the current of artistic and cultural forces that shape our world today. The content of Fairey’s work has always been a call to action against oppressive hierarchies and the abuses of power, politics and the monetizing of culture. He’s committed to creating work that has meaning for his audience by using familiar cultural iconography to which people can relate and by constantly bringing his works into the public sphere.
