Artist, designer, and activist Shepard Fairey redefines the boundaries between mediums in his new exhibition Photo Synthesis at Fotografiska.
Known for his iconic HOPE poster and the Obey Giant campaign, Fairey has shaped visual culture and social dialogue for over three decades. In this exhibition, he explores how photography underpins his creative process, merging illustration, painting, and collage into a single visual language.
“I believe photography, illustration, and printmaking aren’t separate—they work in synchronicity,” says Fairey. Watch as Shepard Fairey reflects on his evolution, his methods, and the ongoing conversation between art and activism.
