DESCRIPTION
OBEY (Shepard Fairey, Charleston, 1970)
"AR-15 Lily"
Silkscreen.
Hand signed and dated.
Measurements: 91.5 x 61 cm.
In AR-15 Lily, Shepard Fairey articulates one of the central themes of his recent production: the critique of gun violence in contemporary society. The work presents a powerful symbolic image in which an assault rifle is transformed into a stem from which a flower emerges, generating a visual tension between destruction and beauty, violence and hope.
Frank Shepard Fairey, OBEY, is an American urban artist and graphic designer, famous, among other projects, for the iconic "Hope" poster used by Barack Obama during his presidential campaign. He began his career in street art in the late 1980s and achieved international renown for his graphic style inspired by political propaganda, constructivism and pop culture. His work addresses themes such as power, peace, social justice and freedom of expression, and has been disseminated both in the public space and in graphic editions and exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world.
