About the Item
"This Church of Consumption print deals with themes I've addressed pretty consistently over the years material obsession, patterns around social currency and status signifiers, and complacency on deeper issues resulting from the perpetual distractions of shallower concerns. If 1984 were written today, I think Big Brother would have a softer touch, encouraging us to enjoy THIS, but pay no attention to THAT. Darker forces certainly benefit from reinforcing the collective psychology that pleasure and status are largely derived from superficial consumption, while a concern for basic human dignity yields no social benefit. It is much easier to ignore the suffering of others when we are fixated on our next purchase.
In the future, I'd like to encourage you to consume and submit with more discretion RIGHT AFTER you purchase this print! Of course I recognize the irony of selling this, but in all seriousness, if this print would be a shallow acquisition and the art and ideas are not significantly meaningful, please don't buy the print. Save your money for something that matters spend it on someone you love or an experience that you will cherish." -Shepard Fairey

Shepard Fairey
Expanding on the legacies of artists such as Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, Shepard Fairey’s practice disrupts the distinction between fine and commercial art.
A major artist of the street art movement, Fairey rose to prominence in the early 1990s through the dispersion of prints, posters, stickers and murals, related to his Obey Giant campaign, which yielded an international cultural phenomenon. Fairey’s iconic poster of President Barack Obama was adopted as the official emblem associated with the presidential campaign and encapsulates a number of recurring concerns in the artist’s work, including propaganda, portraiture and political power.

Bad Reputation, Black - Shepard Fairey Obey Contemporary Screen Print Urban Art
By Shepard Fairey
Located in Draper, UT
Bad Reputation (Black) on Speckle Tone Paper. 18 x 24 inches. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 83/350.
My Obey “Bad Reputation” print is inspired by music graphics, especially punk and new wave album sleeves, t-shirts, and flyers. I love the Xerox machine with spot color approach to a lot of those graphics that married the rough and crude side of financial and artistic limitations with an intuitive and clever ability to craft subversive, eye-catching images. Some of the edges of this imagery and text are intentionally rough and imperfect… if slick and clean are your bag, you might want to skip this one baby! See if you can spot the references to musicians like the New York Dolls...
