Description
An excellent example from Shep’s wildly popular decorative Mandala series, this time in cream. Possibly the zenith of his graphic, propagandistic style using the ‘André the Giant’ motif, these designs followed through on graffiti art’s purpose of re-establishing pride, identity and spirituality in a grey, grinding world.
America’s Shepard ‘Obey’ Fairey is a cornerstone of the urban art movement whose work – such as his 2008 Barack Obama ‘Hope’ poster – regularly attracts widespread attention.
