Shepard Fairey X Arkitip Obey Order of Independent Artistans (Red) Screenprint on paper. 10 x 7-1/2 inches (25.4 x 19.1 cm) (sheet) Ed. 4530/5000 Each print signed and dated in pencil lower right Published by Arkitip, Malibu. ABOUT THE ART In 2009 Shepard/OBEY collaborated with Arkitip on an exclusive issue reviewing the then current artwork featured in the Boston ICA 20 year survey and all of the outdoor installation that came along with the exhibition. It also included a selection of the newest fine art pieces of that time. The issue was a truly a classic release as it was a reunion collaboration that we had not seen since Arkitips issue edition No. 0003. OBEY recently acquired a few of these issues and decided to revive the collaboration with an addition of a new MAY DAY Flag print. The issue now comes with 3 prints; all 7.5 x 10 inches and Signed by Shepard. Shepard Fairey is arguably the most famous artist of the Arkitip Alumni group, and could quite possibly be the artist most remembered of his generation. We celebrate Shepards methods not only because they are beautiful and effective but also because he took on the mainstream art establishment and after 20 long years, he seems to be winning.His recent rise to popularity punctuated by his support of the Obama Presidential campaign has made Shepard Fairey a household name. His iconic portrait of Barack Obama has come to symbolize the historic campaign of the first African American to be elected President and now that image graces the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian. Hes an artist who stands by what he believes in and has done more to communicate his causes to the masses than most of his contemporaries, which is admirable on any level. His campaigns have done more to shape the public consciousness than any other artist because you don’t have go to a gallery to see his work, its ubiquity is well established.This issue will be truly historic, as we celebrate 20 Years of Shepards seminal Obey campaign. Because Shepard has not been a guest of Arkitip magazine since issue edition No. 0003, this reunion collaboration has been long overdue and is a guaranteed to be another groundbreaking Arkitip classic. 115 / 776 -
Artist: Shepard Fairey Title: FACTORY STACKS (EARTH FIRST) 18 inches by 24 inches Edition of 350. Screen print on thick cream Speckletone paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey. May 24, 2022 These Factory Stacks images combine the austere, angular power of factory architecture with graphic elements commenting on what we promote and embrace as a society even when those things are destructive. The fossil fuel industries have tremendous power economically, but we now know that not only are fossil fuel sources finite but that using them is terrible for climate change and, therefore, the eco-systems that sustain life on our planet. Unfortunately, due to the political power of these industries and public apathy about climate change, the government subsidizes the fossil fuel industries for billions even as they damage the environment. The government works for the citizens, so the choice is ours. Do we support endless power for wealthy fossil fuel corporations? Or policies that put the earth first with the planet before profits? Please read Naomi Kleins THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING to better understand the conflict between economic interests and climate change. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this print will go to Greenpeace to fight climate change. Thanks for caring. 116 / 776 -

Artist: Shepard Fairey Title: Just Angels Rising Size: 18 inches by 24 inches Screen print on thick cream Speckletone paper. Original photo by Victoria Yarnish. Edition of 450. Release: June 23, 2021(Sold Out) Note From Artist: These prints, Just Angels Rising and Just Future Rising, are variations of the art I created for the Time VOTE cover just before the 2020 election. At the time, I wanted to address the very unique situation we were in as a country as we faced the Covid-19 pandemic, unrest around police brutality and racial discrimination, voter suppression, and intense political division. We are still facing all of those things, though the development of Covid vaccines has significantly improved public safety and benefitted the fight to end the pandemic. In this illustration, the usually clear-cut rebel symbol of a bandana covering a face takes on a different meaning during Covid, becoming an emblem of safety, respect for ones fellow citizens, and a sign that the wearer believes in science. The updated images on the bandana symbolize an activists aspiration for a more just future for all. The future is in part shaped by voting, but not voting alone. How we express our ideals and spend our money in alignment with our ideals helps to shape the future also. Anti-democracy forces are pushing voter suppression, so voting while you still can is essential. The future of our democracy and our world is in our hands!The subject of the portrait is my former co-worker Marin Takeshita who is Japanese. With the rise of hate crimes against Asians during Covid, Marin, and I thought it was important for proceeds from these prints to benefit the organization Stop AAPI Hate, which focuses on immigrants rights, and remedies for racial and social injustice. 118 / 776 -

In hand and ready to ship! Damien Hirst - The Empress Nür Jahan - H10-2 Limited edition screenprint - Signed 100 cm x 100 cm - Mint The striking Empresses prints are constructed of beautiful images of red butterfly wings, which are intricately arranged with a filigree of red glitter to produce visually intoxicating kaleidoscope-like effects. The prints are named after five exceptionally influential female rulers: Wu Zetian, NÅ«r JahÄn, Theodora, Suiko and Taytu Betul. Their characters and stories are enhanced by the dominant red tone of the series, which deals with themes such as life, war, power, anger, love, joy and luck. Since the beginning of his career Hirst has interacted with the butterfly, one of his best-known motifs. Inspired by a chance encounter in his studio and the intricate patterns found on Victorian tea trays, in The Empresses Hirst develops on the complex compositions he invented in his Kaleidoscope Paintings and Mandalas series. The Empresses prints are symmetrical, asymmetrical, and spiral patterns of meticulously organised butterflies that nonetheless exude hope and life – the butterflies feel as if they are taking flight. This effect is in part aided by the material, laminated Giclée print on aluminium composite, screen printed with glitter, which allows the butterfly wings to be presented in such detail that they appear lifelike. The images of wings inspire awe and are framed by glitter, a fantastically tactile material previously used by Hirst in his paintings. Glitter is loved for its playfulness and joy – a sentiment echoed in the play-on-words of the series title itself, which alludes to both female rulers and the Empress Butterfly. Hirst has consistently used butterflies for their associations to freedom, religion, life and death. The Empresses illuminates and sheds light on these themes. Through this new series, these themes become intertwined with glory, female power and the development of nations, visible through the entrancing twists and turns of these five dazzling and vital visual celebrations. 145 / 776 -

The images of wings inspire awe and are framed by glitter, a fantastically tactile material previously used by Hirst in his paintings. Glitter is loved for its playfulness and joy – a sentiment echoed in the play-on-words of the series title itself, which alludes to both female rulers and the Empress Butterfly. Hirst has consistently used butterflies for their associations to freedom, religion, life and death. The Empresses illuminates and sheds light on these themes. Through this new series, these themes become intertwined with glory, female power and the development of nations, visible through the entrancing twists and turns of these five dazzling and vital visual celebrations. 151 / 776 -
