Subliminal Projects is pleased to present MODULAR FREQUENCY, an exhibition by gallery founder Shepard Fairey. This show features eighteen new mixed-media works, highlighting the artist’s latest explorations in visual distillation and synthesis. Fairey merges imagery, symbols, and text into modular geometric compositions, creating a resonant visual language that bridges abstraction, design, and cultural commentary.
For over three decades, modular, geometric, and patterned designs have been at the heart of Fairey’s practice, evolving from bold graphic-based street campaigns into intricate, layered mixed-media compositions. Drawing inspiration from Soviet Constructivism, Russian propaganda, and contemporary pop culture, Fairey organizes the chaos of pervasive imagery into structured forms. “I’m confronted with an overwhelming number of images and messages daily, forcing me to make sense of things and organize my ideas,” Fairey explains. “I embrace this process of distillation as inspiration to navigate the world and create art with intention.”
In addition to the new works, the exhibition includes unique works on paper, retired stencils, prints on wood, mono-engravings, and Hand-Painted Multiples (HPMs). As a unified body of work, MODULAR FREQUENCY engages viewers in an aesthetic “frequency” an ideal rhythm and harmony that celebrates political and artistic icons, as well as archetypes of peace, justice, and environmental responsibility.
