serendipity



On perhaps, one of the most serendipitous weekends of my life, a dear friend and I encountered this monumental mural wheatpasted by one of the most important political artists of our time. Shepard Fairey. As it turns out, May Day was commissioned by Dietch Projects (a prominent New York gallery that represents some of the most influential contemporary artists in the world, like Kehinde Wiley).

Below is an excerpt from the press release:

Shepard Fairey’s mural addresses contemporary political themes, but also pays tribute to some of the Pop artists who have influenced him. The American flag and the target reference the iconic paintings of Jasper Johns who is also the subject of a portrait in the May Day exhibition. The newspaper and the May Day megaphone advertisement pay tribute to Warhol's early painted renditions of common subject matter. The mural also weaves in many smaller images and decorative patterns which supplement the aesthetic and themes of the larger images.
