What started with a seemingly simple sticker he created more than 25 years ago has since evolved into a worldwide street art campaign and acclaimed body of fine art. Fairey steeps his ideology and iconography in the self-empowerment of those who refuse to be manipulated by the machine of manufactured consent. His OBAMA HOPE became the iconic image of the 2008 presidential campaign and helped inspire an unprecedented political movement. In addition to his guerrilla street art presence and poster work, the artist has executed more than 42 large-scale public murals around the world.
