Introduction to Art
Prof. Schuwerk
Its amazing when you find out who is the creator of a product that you have been spending money on.
I have spent a great amount of money on the OBEY clothing brand for a numerous amount of years not knowing who is the artist behind it.
Till today I found out a little more about him... Shepard Fairey.
I must say it's a bit embarrassing to say that I learn more about his personal life now when I have been a fan of his products for years.
Most of the work that I have seen on the behalf of Fairey uses a sense of vintage propaganda and advertising.
He uses appealing colors like the bright scarlet red that Communist used to grab attention.
As well as a nice calm "yellowish" eggshell white with bold black outlines.
His work reminds me of details that you would see on a Russian doll.
