Shepard Fairey: Harmony and Discord at Pace Prints NYC | May 5 2012

Shepard Fairey's first exhibition with Pace Prints is on now till June 16 and premiers his first works in handmade paper as well as the largest screenprints he has done to date.

The exhibit is named "Harmony & Discord" referencing the global dichotomy of politics; what forces it creates on the grand scale and how that reflects on the actions and awareness of the individual. A lot of the works on view were a number of silkscreens done with collage and spraypaint, as well as handmade paper, embossment and relief prints, and large metal plates with screenprint. You can see a bit of Lichtenstein’s style throughout each piece confronting issues of the military industrial complex.
