Shepard Fairey is arguably the most famous artist of the Arkitip alumni group, and could quite possibly be the artist most remembered of his generation. We celebrate Shepard's methods not only because they are beautiful and effective but also because he took on the mainstream art establishment and after 20 long years, he seems to be winning.
His recent rise to popularity punctuated by his support of the Obama Presidential campaign has made Shepard Fairey a household name. His iconic portrait of Barack Obama has come to symbolize the historic campaign of the first African American to be elected President and now that image graces the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian. He's an artist who stands by what he believes in and has done more to communicate his causes to the masses than most of his contemporaries, which is admirable on any level. His campaigns have done more to shape the public consciousness than any other artist because you don't have go to a gallery to see his work, its ubiquity is well established.
This issue will be truly historic, as we celebrate 20 Years of Shepard's seminal 'Obey' campaign. Because Shepard has not been a guest of Arkitip magazine since issue edition No. 0003, this reunion collaboration has been long overdue and is a guaranteed to be another groundbreaking Arkitip classic.
"For more than 10 years, graffiti in all its facets and controversy is an inherent part of my life. As soon as I became part of the graffiti culture, I found myself facing a flood of disaccord and conflict. In graffiti, no grey exists - only black and white. As a graffiti writer, I was insulted, praised, roared at, gazed at in silence, I was paid and had to pay, I stole and was stolen from, I came across comprehension and incomprehension – from both: law-abiding citizens and fellow graffiti writers. While politicians enact and tighten laws, tabloids complain about tags and house owners are angrily cleaning their walls, graffiti writers elect their kings and queens, celebrate calligraphy as a culture and adore locations other people anxiously avoid. Two worlds that exist side by side but rarely meet. In the streets, I write my name and I celebrate the beauty of letters and colours. In my art, I try to connect the contrasts I come across while doing so. I work with my favourite tools, spray cans and letters but I connect them with a medium that every person considers as precious, clean and exclusive and thereby I question the notions of both sides. All the cans used here are Belton Molotow and Belton RAL 400ml which were first used to paint walls and were „recycled“ afterwards."
The cans are handmade by MadC, customized and designed with rhinestones, gem stones and crystals.
