evo hosts - Obey Giant Shepard Fairey Signed & Numbered Original Prints

Red, White & WHAT?! Maybe it was the image of a german leader biting the head off of a white peace dove or the simple portrait of Barak Obama’s face with the word “Hope” but this Fourth of July proved to be a fun one with our gallery opening of original Obey/Shepard Fairey prints.

The collection comes from August Tarantino a private collector who has over 100 original signed & numbered prints- and we have just about half of them right now. These prints were lent to us in support of the charity SOS Outreach (Gus is on the board of directors) in which we are hosting a fundraiser for on July 19^th. Not only that but August also wanted to share these prints with the public to do exactly what Fairey achieves – spark conversation…..

….Many of the gallery goers on the 4^th happened to be walking by evo on their way to watch fireworks and saw our open doors. Unable to resist a free beer and cool art, people funneled through the gallery stopping to discuss Fairey’s messages of political propaganda and current social issues. Many pointed with an awkward giggle at the image of our nation’s president with bloody fangs and glowing red eyes that reads “One hell of a leader!” Some enjoyed images of famous social leaders like Malcolm X or the image of skateboarder Tony Alva flipping off the camera.
The exhibit will be up throughout the entire month of July so come check it out!!
