Shepard Fairey: Fractured (66 - 116)

Of the exhibition, Fairey explains: "The title of this show, 'Fractured,' reflects not only the current state of our culture and socio-political dialogue, but also the theme of duality that I explore in much of my work.

This body of work explores the fractured nature of humanity and modern life, and also the beauty found in the fractures such as the rips and tears of layered works on the street..."

Shepard concludes, "The recurrent use of rips as a motif in the work reflect the chaos of the streets where much of my art has lived and died, but also provides a metaphor for the competitive and frenetic nature of a fractured world."
