Shepard Fairey Propaganda

Consider the artwork produced by Frank Shepard Fairey. A young and successful muralist who’s field is in the public art of stenciling. He is well known for his visual political campaigns. He has become widely known because of his political campaign posters. On one poster particularly controversial, he replaces Barack Obama’s face from his “Hope” poster with an image of V from V for Vendetta. He is one of the world’s most influential political street artists. Furthermore, another of Fairey’s controversial stickers which initially prompted him to become famous is his Andre the Giant Has a Posse stickers which in large white letters beneath the image are written the word OBEY. Fairey states “The sticker has no meaning but exists only to cause people to react, to contemplate and search for meaning in the sticker.”
