About
The man responsible for the most successful presidential campaign poster of all time (Obama’s unauthorised ‘Hope’ image), Shepard Fairey is behind some of the world’s most instantly-recognisable street art. Emerging from the skate scene of 1980s America, he first gained fame with his Obey Giant stickers – made when he was still a student at the Rhode Island School of Design and expanded into a clothing range. Afterwards, he worked in the advertising industry before turning his attention to politically-motivated works, most recently on gender imbalance.
