Shepard Fairey at Stolen Space
November 8th, 2007
Went down to the Shepard Fairey’s Nineteeneightyfouria at London’s StolenSpace Gallery (Old Truman Brewery, 91 Brick Lane). The title is a reference to the surveillance culture in George Orwell’s book 1984. The show is Fairey’s largest exhibition to date, and it runs from November 2nd-25th.
Arch manipulator, scoundrel, chief propagandist, provocateur, Shepard Fairey is the man many hail as the originator of the modern urban art scene and is an undeniable phenomenon. First coming to prominence in 1989 with his now ubitiquous ‘Obey Giant’ sticker campaign, the self styled phenomenologist has since gone on to become one of the most recognisable artists of the early 2000’s.
