Description

Greyson Fletcher - The harmony of form and style, Obey, 2024
Dimensions: 61 x 46 cm - 24 x 18 inches
Screen print on thick cream Speckletone paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey, Greyson Fletcher and Dan Levy. Numbered edition and limited to 500 prints.

"I made this illustration of Greyson Fletcher based on a fantastic photo at the Venice skatepark (which just turned 15) by Dan Levy of Juice Magazine. Of course, this image depicts the style and impressive height of Greyson’s frontside ollie over the hip, but more importantly, it captures the beauty of form and function in perfect harmony, represented by the symbiotic relationship between the transitions of Venice Park and Greyson’s graceful adaptation to said transitions. Greyson is an all-terrain master on a skateboard, and his fluid style is a reminder that it’s not a battle of old school vs. new school tricks (Greyson slays both), but more importantly, that every trick has that skater’s unmistakable flair and style. These prints will be signed by me, Greyson, and Dan." Shepard Fairey

"I’m beyond stoked to be in one of Shepard Fairey’s pieces of art. He is an artistic genius! The piece came out insane! Dan nailed it on the shot and Shepard crushed it with his twist. Thanks Juice Magazine, Thanks Dan, Terri, and Shepard." Greyson Fletcher

"Where style matters, style stands out, which is an important factor in this collaboration. To match Greyson’s style and Shepard’s style together is monumental and iconic and I could not be more honored or excited." Dan Levy

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.
