Shepard Fairey’s Obey (2019) is a striking limited-edition print that reflects his signature graphic style and politically charged themes. Featuring a bold, clenched fist in black and white, set against a red background with a golden star, the image conveys themes of resistance, power, and solidarity. Below, the word "OBEY" appears in stylized typography, referencing Fairey’s long-standing critique of propaganda and authority. The composition’s strong lines, high contrast, and limited color palette amplify its visual impact. Measuring 76.2 x 104.1 cm and part of an edition of 89, this piece embodies Fairey’s ongoing engagement with activism, street art, and social commentary.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
