"The art I created for the this scarf is a commentary on the disinformation problem in our society and the threat of climate change for all of us; I aim to address the causes I care about with my art. The square layout of the scarf works perfectly with my newer modular approach, allowing me to experiment with portraiture, typography, patterns, and symbols to create a layered composition with the ideal image, message, and aesthetic hierarchy." - Shepard Fairey
CREATOR & CHARITY

Shepard Fairey was born in Charleston, South Carolina, and attended Rhode Island School of Design, graduating with a BFA in Illustration.

Widely known for his "Hope" portrait of Barack Obama and "We the People" series, Fairey's works are in the Boston Institute of Contemporary Art, Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and others.
