He was born on February 15, 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina in the United States. In 1988, the artist graduated from Idyllwild Arts Academy in Palm Springs, California. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island in 1992. As a young adult, Shepard Fairey became very interested in art. He soon began to use his drawings in T-shirts and skateboards. He was a skateboard-obsessed art student. While in school, Shepard Fairey held a part-time job in a skateboarding shop. Soon after, he hit the skateboard community hard by pasting homemade stickers all over the place. It was then that he realized his desire and interest in the street art culture and graffiti movement. Another strong influence was his love for punk music, which he demonstrated stencils. One of the first images he ever used was that of Andre the Giant. Shepard Fairey found this image in a newspaper ad and he chose to introduce it to the streets. Shepard Fairey is one of the most influential street artists of our time. Shepard Fairey’s work has been used in screen-prints, stencils, stickers, masking film illustrations, wheat paste, collages, sculptures, posters, paintings, and murals. Shepard Fairey enjoys working with the colors black, white, and red. Fairey has constantly shifted between the realms of fine art, commercial art, street art, and even political art. Famous artwork His most famous art includes images of Andre the Giant, the Obey trademark, as well as the propaganda poster of Barack Obama. In 2008 Shepard Fairey used the Obama image to design Time Magazine’s Person of the Year cover. In 2011 Time Magazine commissioned the artist for a second Person of the Year cover. His latest cover designing was in April 2020 for Rolling Stone with a portrait of Greta Thunberg. Shepard Fairey is also famous for his activist and humanitarian concerns and often creates and donates artwork in order to promote awareness and show support. After the 2015 Paris attacks, the artist paid a tribute to the victims with the creation of a poster depicting Marianne, the French national icon, surrounded by the French motto Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité. In June 2016, Shepard Fairey reproduced the image as a mural in Paris. Fairey then offered the poster to French President Emmanuel Macron who hung it in his office. The artist also founded in 2007 the Obey Awareness Program, operated by Obey Clothing, so as so increase his humanitarian efforts. This program allows Fairey to support handpicked causes he believes in by selling specially designed merchandise and donating 100% of the profits raised. In the early 2000s, Fairey began donating to organizations like Chiapas Relief Fund or Feeding America. Shepard Fairey’s work combines elements of graffiti, pop art, business art, and Marxist theory. His work has been seen in galleries around the world and even museums. Not only that, but is often recognized in graphic designing and signature apparel. One of his most famous works includes his portrait of Barack Obama. In fact, this portrait drew national attention to Fairey and his work quickly exploded after that recognition. This poster also received the Brit Insurance Design of the Year Award in 2009. Shepard Fairey has held numerous successful solo and group exhibitions across the world. The year 2019 was particularly marked by his solo show Facing the Giant : Three Decades of Dissent, a reflection on the last 30 years of the artist’s career, held in the cities of Grenoble, New York, Paris, Vancouver, London, Providence and Los Angeles. The selected works address recurring topics in the artist’s career such as self-empowerment, rebellion, abuse of power, environmental destruction, racism, gender inequality, xenophobia, campaign finance reform, the military-industrial complex, propaganda, war and peace, and economic imperialism. Shepard Fairey currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California in the United States.  Shepard Fairey is considered by the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston as the most influential street artist of our time. He has been collected by some of the most important museum collections such as Victoria and Albert Museum of London or the MOMA in New York.  `  SELECTED SOLO SHOWS   2019 Obey Giant: 30 Years of Resistance Grenoble Street Art Festival Grenoble, France Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent Burrard Arts Vancouver, British Columbia Canada Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent Stolen Space London, United Kingdom Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent AS220 Providence, Rhode Island Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent New Works Over The Influence Los Angeles, California Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent GGA Gallery Miami, Florida Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent Samuel Owen Gallery Greenwich, Connecticut   2018 Salad Days Cranbrook Art Museum Bloomfield Hills, Michigan Golden Future Galerie Ernst Hilger Vienna Force Majeure Moscow Museum of Modern Art Moscow, Russia   2017 DAMAGED Library Street Collective Los Angeles, California Printed Matters Treason Gallery Seattle, Washington Printed Matters Underdogs Gallery Lisbon, Portugal Printed Matters aMBUSH Gallery Sydney, Australia Peace Justice Seoul Arts Center Seoul, South Korea   2016 Visual Disobedience HOCA Foundation Hong Kong Earth Crisis Galerie Itinerrance Paris, France  2015 Earth Crisis Globe Installation, Eiffel Tower, Paris, France Your Eyes Here, CAC Málaga Museum, Málaga, Spain Printed Matters Public Matter Show: Detroit, Library Street Collective, Detroit, Michigan, United States 2014 Power Glory - The Insistent Image: Reccurent Motifs in the Art of Shepard Fairey and Jasper Johns, The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, Charleston, South Carolina, United States  2010 Supply Demand: 20 Year Survey, Contemporary Arts Center (CAC), Cincinnati, Ohio, United States  2009 Supply Demand: 20 Year Survey, Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States Supply Demand: 20 Year Survey, Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) Boston, Massachusetts, United States  2006 Shepard Fairey/OBEY, Galerie Magda Danysz, Paris, France  2004 Shepard Fairey, The Ad Shop, Brussels, Belgium  2003 Milk, San Francisco, California, United States Think Tank, Denver, Colorado, United States  2002 Boston Museum, Massachusetts, United States  2001 OBEY Slay, Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, College of Charleston, South Carolina, United States Giant, Capsule, Birmingham, England  1999 Andre the Giant Has a Posse, Chamber of Pop Culture, London, England  SELECTED GROUP SHOWS  2014 Art Alliance: The Provocateurs, Chicago, Illinois, United States  2013 At Home I am a Tourist., Colección Selim Varol, CAC Malaga, Malaga, Spain  2011 Art in the Streets, MOCA, Los Angeles, California, United States  2010 Viva La Revolución, MCASD, San Diego, California, United States  2009 Blueprint for Space, Art Basel, Primary Flight, Miami, Florida, United States Juxtapoz 15th Anniversary Exhibition, Factory Place Arts Complex, Los Angeles, California, United States  2008 In the Land of Retinal Delights: The Juxtapoz Factor, Laguna Art Museum, Laguna Beach, California, United States  2007 Spank the Monkey, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, England Shepard Fairey vs WK Interact: The East West Propaganda Project, Tokyo Wonder Site Art Center, Tokyo, Japan  2006 Spothunters: The Fine Art of Real Estate, New Art Center, Newtonville, Massachusetts, United States  2005 Dyezu Experiment, Tokyo, Japan Dalek and Shepard Fairey, Galerie Magda Danysz, Paris, France Urban Edge Show, P4 Space, Milan, Italy Beautiful Losers, Costa Mesa, California, United States Tawkin?
