In his Naples exhibition Shepard Fairey wants to restore political power to images

Nella sua mostra a Napoli Shepard Fairey vuole restituire alle immagini potere politico

Shepard Fairey's major exhibition "OBEY: Power to the Peaceful" has opened at Gallerie d'Italia in Naples, Italy. The show transforms the museum spaces into a landscape of symbols, slogans, monumental faces, and fierce geometries that draw from 20th-century revolutionary aesthetics but speak directly to contemporary issues of permanent war, image saturation, and the fragility of critical thought. Fairey also created a large mural titled "Third Eye Open Peace" in the Ponticelli neighborhood, extending his artistic statement into the urban fabric.
