Shepard Fairey, also known by the pseudonym Obey, is an American street artist, screen printer, muralist, and illustrator born on February 15, 1970, in Charleston, South Carolina.<\/p>\n

Emerging from the skateboarding scene, he first gained recognition through the “Andr\u00e9 the Giant Has a Posse” stickers, which spawned the “Obey Giant” campaign.<\/p>\n

For the 2008 US presidential campaign, he created the “Hope” poster of Barack Obama, which became an iconic image of the campaign. The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston regards him as one of the best-known, finest, and most influential street artists of the present day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":342,"featured_media":129523,"template":"","taxo_year_participe":[144],"class_list":["post-129522","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSHEPARD FAIREY - Lille art up!<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/lilleartup.com\/en\/all-artists\/shepard-fairey\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"SHEPARD FAIREY - Lille art up!\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Shepard Fairey, also known by the pseudonym Obey, is an American street artist, screen printer, muralist, and illustrator born on February 15, 1970, in Charleston, South Carolina.
