ABOUT SHEPARD
Fairey's work ranges from absurdist propaganda to authentic personalities; from
clandestine street art operations to legendary precedents and commercial projects. Fairey is a populist. The apparent accessibility of his images in no way diminishes its intellectual impact; critics (both impartial scholars and poorly-concealed foes) have formally debated the merits of his sometimes quite contrarian enterprises. His free-spirited and irreverent imagination clearly reflects his passion for the subject matter and its revolutionary intent. His artistic expression often betrays his democratic disdain for those who obscure it. Fairey
continues to surprise and educate his audience with his piercing insights and probing imagistic commentary. Only art that challenges the status quo has a life.
The definition of great art, in Fairey's view, is delivering something the world has a real need for, forgotten truths in society's forgotten spaces.
