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 activist art?
Activist Art is a form of art created to address social and political issues. It often involves public engagement and works closely with communities to raise awareness or inspire change. While it can include elements of performance art, it is not limited to this form. Examples include creating and distributing social protest posters or organizing community-based art projects that highlight specific causes.
