Obey Icon is the founding image that established the artist’s international reputation. Created at the age of fourteen, this very first drawing depicting André the Giant would, over time, become the timeless and emblematic symbol of his work.
A VSE (Variable Stencil Edition) refers to a series of works created using stencils, in which each piece, although part of a limited edition, features unique variations. These differences may involve colors, backgrounds, or intensity, giving each work a distinct and individual character. This process, often used in street art—particularly by Shepard Fairey—allows for a balance between the coherence of an “edition” and the singularity of an original artwork. The techniques used include spray paint and acrylic.
