TAC Focus :: Shepard Fairey in Miami
Obama campaign art propagandist and GQ Man of the Year, Shepard Fairey, was a stand out hit at last week’s SCOPE Art Fair in Miami. Presented by Jonathan Levine Gallery, Fairey exhibited a substantial body of new work, ranging from extremely affordable small album covers to three $25,000 large scale wall installations (Two of these were the only pieces still available at the close of the fair.) Those not attending the indoor fair weren’t forgotten. Shepard also took time out to keep to his roots and hit the streets of Miami. Lucky we were able to capture images before All City Crew’s rampage. By the end of the weekend, the Brooklyn graffiti crew had tagged up virtually all outdoor works. Read on for The Art Collector’s extensive photo recap and click images for detailed views.

Aiko’s mixed-media stencil, serigraph, spray paint, and collage self portrait canvases indicate an increasing self awareness and confidence, while Matzu’s acrylic canvases poetically explore notions of cultural identity and bicultural heritage, drawing upon popular Japanese icons and modern graphic design.
