I’m passionate about music, a DJ, and a vinyl collector. I’ve created many tributes to record covers and to art inspired by music and its visual language. This work draws inspiration from several sources: post-punk minimalist art using one or two accent colors, psychedelic surrealism, and the subtle interplay between positive and negative space and multiple perspectives employed by M.C. Escher. Music has also played an important role in helping me generate ideas, so it remains a major source of inspiration.

The artist
Bio
Shepard Fairey, known as Obey, was born on February 15, 1970 in Charleston in the United States.
From an early age, he has been passionate about drawing. He is also passionate about skateboarding. At the age of 14, he drew images for t-shirts and skateboards.
Obey is very influenced by Andy Warhol and Alexander Rodchenko. At the end of the 80s, he invented the famous Obey symbol thanks to a poster campaign with a bunch of friends.
His art became world famous thanks to his Hope poster which became Barack Obama's campaign poster in 2008. The artist is now considered one of the pillars of international street art.
