Shepard Fairey and the OBEY GIANT



Shepard Fairey is a graphic designer, Illustrator and street artist who is the father of the "André the Giant Has a Posse" campaign and following.

Fairey plays with a thing called phenomenology, which in its simplest form is using a device that attracts your attention to something you wouldn't often notice in the environment, therefore reawakening your senses.

For example if you saw a poster of André stuck high up on a bridge would it catch your eye more than just the bridge, and if you saw the same poster elsewhere would you question why it is there not trying to sell you anything?

Shepard Fairey is also now more widely known for his design work for the Obama election posters!

Graffiti using its environement - Banksy

Banksy is now dare I say it the most famous graffiti artist to date. His ethos on Graffiti and street art is completely radical, he creates art that makes you use you think and look at places you would never usually look in your everyday environment.

“I still paint graffiti because I genuinely think the side of a canal is a more interesting place to have art than a museum,” - Banksy recently quoted in times magazine after being questioned why he still paints in obscure usually unseen places.

This idea of drawing peoples attention to walls and objects usually unseen in everyday life links in with Shepard Faireys OBEY campaign and Phenomenology.


Banksy puts the environment where his street art is to full use in his work often including such items as drain pipes and cracks in walls. Here are some examples!
