Shepard Fairey exemplifies the ‘hard-worker’ by attending both the Pace Paper studio in New York and the Watanabe Press in Brooklyn, preparing for his upcoming exhibition at Pace Prints. In this video short, he shares some of his inspirations behind the art direction with regard to its evolution from pop art to street art, by means of a central theme of power. He also talks about the specific printmaking process used to capture his message in each unique print. Fairey’s exhibition is called “Harmony & Discord,” and it opens on May 5 at Pace Prints in New York.
