Shepard Fairey is a contemporary American artist, activist, and founder of OBEY GIANT, widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in modern street art. Born in 1970, Fairey first gained attention in 1989 with his Andre the Giant Has a Posse sticker campaign, which evolved into the iconic OBEY imagery. His bold, graphic style blends elements of graffiti, pop art, and political propaganda, using limited color palettes and striking compositions to provoke thought and challenge authority.

Fairey’s art gained global recognition during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign with his HOPE poster of Barack Obama, which became one of the most enduring political images of the 21st century. Beyond politics, his work addresses themes of social justice, environmental issues, war, and corporate influence, often incorporating imagery of peace, resistance, and empowerment.

In addition to his large-scale murals and street art interventions, Fairey’s work has been exhibited in major museums and galleries worldwide, including the Smithsonian, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art. His ability to move between underground culture and mainstream recognition without losing his activist spirit has made him a unique voice in contemporary art.

Through his OBEY GIANT project Fairey has cultivated a visual language that resonates globally, encouraging viewers to question their surroundings and the power structures that shape society. With a career spanning over three decades, Shepard Fairey continues to use art as a tool for cultural commentary and positive change.
