Shepard Fairey recently teamed up with MoveOn in their “Power Up America” campaign and created an original art piece involving windmills to assist in promoting it.This new piece features red, white and blue windmills resting on a bed of stars, with "Clean Energy for America" emblazoned at the bottom.
We are honored to be in the possession of a limited number of these signed posters .Shepard is a true artist that puts his money where his mouth is. This is the third fundraiser I've had the honor of working with Shepard on. He is continually giving of his time and talents for causes that he believes in. Most recently I worked on the Sea No Evil Art Show benefitting The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society where Shepard donated his time and art.
He also DJ'd our "Obama or Bust" fund raiser at Visionary Boutique last year,and donated signed HOPE posters and artwork that helped us to raise $10,000 for Obama's campaign.
Creator of the iconic "HOPE" poster that became the unofficial emblem of President Obama's campaign, the Charleston, S.C., native has designed album covers for the The Smashing Pumpkins and Black Eyed Peas, and his work appears at The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and, beginning Oct. 18, The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburg. Fairey is currently in Pittsburg canvasing the city with this image as well as installing murals.
Like the symbolic content of his images, the placement of these public art installations on Pittsburg is also purposeful. The murals are meant to not only publicize his upcoming exhibit, but also to urge G-20 Summit leaders to address climate change and adopt clean energy standards.
