On November 15th, BEYOND THE STREETS (A Los Angeles Gallery) unveiled SHEPARD FAIREY: OUT OF PRINT, a major exhibition celebrating the artist’s three-decade exploration of printmaking.
Featuring over 400 original screen prints alongside new hybrid works combining screen printing and stenciling, the exhibition highlights Fairey’s commitment to the power of the printed image and mass communication.
“I’m a product of the era of mass production and the visual culture printing has shaped,” said Shepard Fairey. “Some of my biggest influences were printed materials, posters, album covers, skateboard graphics, punk flyers, T-shirt designs. Printing has always been the backbone of my practice and philosophy. It democratized art, and I’ve used posters to spread my work in public spaces and keep it accessible.”
The exhibition follows Fairey’s evolution from early guerrilla interventions to studio editions that have become cultural touchstones. He demonstrated the command of advertising and propaganda strategies, using them to create images that “arrest visually and provoke intellectually,” while examining how regurgitated printed works in public spaces contribute to civic dialogue and cultural memory. For positive and for negative.
Alongside historic editions of his pieces, the show debuts new mixed-media works where stencils, paper and ink intersect. Expanding Fairey’s print vocabulary while retaining the immediacy and brashness of the street.
“OUT OF PRINT bridges the energy of the street with the discipline of the studio,” says Director Dante Parel.
“Some claim digital media ended print, but the tactile impact of a print on a wall or in the wild can’t be replaced,” Fairey adds. “Printing still matters.”
The exhibition will run until January 11th, 2026! Don’t miss out on your chance to view this cultural icon’s craft, in the flesh; in a time where it’s more provocative than ever.
