Visual Disobedience by Shepard Fairey, created in 2004, is a bold screenprint exploring the subversive power of visual culture. A black silhouette of a militant figure dominates the composition, holding a rifle that blossoms into a flower while triumphantly raising an Obey icon. The red background, overlaid with patterned waves and Fairey’s signature star emblem, evokes revolutionary posters while critiquing propaganda. With the phrase "Visual Disobedience" stamped beside the star, the artwork proposes imagery as a weapon for ideological resistance. This piece was produced in an edition of 333.

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.
