Shepard Fairey is a modern day trickster, a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, and the originator of the worldwide Andre the Giant Has a Posse sticker campaign.
Simultaneously utilizing and subverting advertising techniques--the sticker consists of a stark fl-and-white image of Andre the Giant’s face, a universally identifiable logo for a product that doesn’t exist--the work has grown over the past 10 years from a subversive private joke among Fairey and his skateboarding friends into a global network of anti-consumer activists.
Fairey speaks about his role in society as an absurd propagandist and his work as an experiment in phenomenology, described by Heidegger as "the process of letting things manifest themselves." Fairey is co-founder of Black Market Design in San Diego, California.
