OBEY x Duality in Humanity

Posted on August 28, 2008 Under Art

We’ve been talking about a lot of art in politics and war lately. It isn’t an intentional push, but the art collective OBEY (a.k.a. Shepard Fairey) just keeps making amazing stuff. This time it’s an exhibition, but the exhibition is huge. Over a hundred pieces will be hung on at White Walls in SF to give a large complex look at Shepard Fairey’s body of work.

OBEY has made some really great prints over the years, from peace solider images to the Obama prints. In the new exhibition, Shepard hopes to relate elements of optimism and hope of his Obama prints with his remix of war propaganda. "The difference between this show and previous ones, is that now Obama is in the mix," said Shepard. The exhibition is appropriately titled Duality in Humanity and includes aspects of his message and the contrasting nature of our world. If you are in San Fransisco, the exhibition opens on September 13th at White Walls (and there is an after party you could probably get yourself into).
