AS220
and Shepard Fairey are celebrating 30 years of
OBEY GIANT
in the city where his first iconic sticker was slapped onto an unsuspecting public while he was a student at RISD - Providence, Rhode Island.
Friday, October 25th, 6 - 9 PM (233 Westminster Street, Providence):
Shepard Fairey: Facing the Giant public exhibit opening Facing the Giant, a survey of the last three decades of Fairey's work, is a selection of 30 artworks shown as 30 x 41-inch hand-painted multiples - prints on unique collaged backgrounds with additional stenciling and embellishments - selected “for their importance aesthetically and conceptually, and for addressing critical topics and themes frequently recurring throughout Fairey's career”. With only three exhibits happening in the US - the others being Brooklyn and Los Angeles - the Providence show is a rare opportunity to see this work in person. A portion of the sales of art will support
AS220’s All Access Campaign
