It\u2019s a well-publicised fact that he is due to touch down on Australian soil in the next week, but here\u2019s the part that nobody knows\u2026<\/p>\n
aMBUSH Gallery, T-world and Vivid Sydney will be presenting Printed Matters Sydney<\/em>, a solo exhibition featuring a curated selection of work from this renowned artist.<\/p>\n Printed Matters<\/em> is an ongoing series of exhibitions, focusing on the importance of printed material in Fairey\u2019s art. Each exhibition highlights the significance by incorporating a variety of Fairey\u2019s printed material, including serigraphs on paper, editions on wood, editions on metal, and fine art collage. New works are added for each venue, making each Printed Matters<\/em> exhibition a unique experience. Beginning in 2010, the Printed Matters <\/em>platform was first presented in Los Angeles, and for its next instalment will exhibit in Sydney at a pop-up gallery in Chippendale (Sydney), on view from Saturday, 17 June \u2013 Sunday, 9 July 2017.<\/p>\n Fairey is known around the world for his iconic imagery; whether it\u2019s the Barack Obama HOPE poster, his evolving sticker campaign, or his brand OBEY. He will be appearing as a keynote Game-Changer speaker for Vivid Ideas, as well as painting his largest mural ever, located at 309 George Street. In addition, he currently has a free public exhibition at the Darling Quarter precinct entitled Revolutions<\/em>.<\/p>\n Fairey states, \u201cI can\u2019t imagine my art practice without the influence of, and the use of, printing. Some of my biggest art influences were not paintings, but printed things like album covers, skateboard graphics, punk flyers, and T-shirt designs \u2026 Some people say print is on its way out, that it will be wiped out by digital media, but I say you can never replace the provocative, tactile experience of an art print on the street or in a gallery. Printing still matters.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to the exhibition, T-world is releasing two exclusive T-shirts to commemorate the show and Fairey\u2019s tour as an official OBEY x T-world collaboration. The limited-edition T-shirts are exclusive to the event and only available at the pop-up gallery, reflecting the ethos of T-world\u2019s \u201cPrint is Premium\u201d stance.<\/p>\n MEDIA CONTACT<\/u><\/strong>
