Where is Splasher when you need him. "By challenging what the experts term 'street art', our actions have, in turn, uncovered an alliance between the coercive force of the state and the "creative class" of the artist."
I love his works but let's be honest, his art is the armed arm of the society he pretends to criticize. He literally became the artist of gentrification and that's why he's so famous. People please themselves by reading his vanilla anti establishment messages, they say "I knew it, Cocacola in bad, Art is better than war, the gov lies, et cetera" but those thoughts don't lead to any concrete action to solve the problems exploited by Fairey. It is a complacency about how bad the world is and luckily there is someone who says it for me. Anyway, I really like his art from an aesthetic point of view
This movement that I’ve been involved in and heavily invested in for 40 years has disappeared up its own back side as a generation of ultra poser hijacks it for their own agenda to try and appear virtuous.
His artwork is actually based on anti establishment in the sense that his roots are punk rock old school hip hop graffiti but at the same time his audience is pretty much mainstream pop-commercial capitalist consumers! 🤔🤨💭
@@YouCanChangeYourWorldToday "based" is right word. While I am happy for artist that is making a living, his ramblings about the high function of his art, and the fact that he is now just a brand is totally off-putting. By default his work became the thing he is saying he is against. Interestingly in the past he just said "I thought it just looked cool". The only true antiestablishment street artist I know was Splasher, and he was brilliant. But everybody was hating him, best sign that he was doing right things.
Good to see Shepard again. Can't quite get enough of his work. Thanks!
I Love It.. Love It... LOVE IT!
Any museum that allows public art on the outside is a HUGE win

I came to the comments to say this, but I couldn't word it as well.
Art is now nothing but a tool of the elite.
He’s just an amazing friendly Man and a truly cool artist, love his views on things and his work 🤍

Street art is not dead!! *unfortunately
I am always having problem with seeing high profile artists talking about anti establishment. Isn't he also a multimillionaire?
I am sure that Warhol is clapping from his grave.
🤣🤣🤣 he does graph for the government, the irony
I can’t help but find him boring
Establishment art. So boring.

@@YouCanChangeYourWorldToday his art is based on communist propaganda posters and its gross.

Artists who tell others what to think are egotistical and arrogant. Why should we all think like SF?
This is terrible art
