Covert to Overt (gold) by Shepard Fairey, created in 2016, is a screenprint capturing urban interventions through a triptych composition. Rendered in warm sepia-gold tones, each panel features architectural scenes overlaid with Fairey’s signature motifs, such as the “Obey” icon and a bold “Peace” message. The central image, a water tower being painted with the Obey Giant face, symbolizes the transition from underground activism to public engagement. This work reflects Fairey’s ongoing dialogue with propaganda, public space, and the aesthetics of resistance. It is part of an edition of 350.

What is Street art?
Street Art is artwork created and executed in public spaces, outside of traditional art venues. It gained popularity during the 1980s graffiti art boom and has since evolved into various forms and styles. Common forms of Street Art include pop-up art, sticker art, stencil graffiti, and street installations or sculptures. Terms like guerrilla art, neo-graffiti, post-graffiti, and urban art are often used interchangeably to describe this genre, which challenges conventional ideas about where and how art should be displayed.
