Shepard Fairey will debut a limited edition series of 4 abstracted prints with white and black diamond dust at the Opening Night Premiere Party for the LA Art Show, at Paul Stolper Gallery, Booth #724, on January 23. The series of prints represents the artist's first foray into diamond dust printing.
The new medium, diamond dust, adhered to the surface of the screen prints is a seductive material, further highlighting one of the main concern's with the artists' work: propaganda. Perhaps most famously used by Andy Warhol, who understood perfectly how to convey a message, Diamond Dust was used to add glamour, transforming ordinary objects into coveted images. Diamond Dust, literally and metaphorically is superficial, applied to the surface of the print, the shimmering effect is both beautiful and alluring. For this reason, the material aligns with Shepard's work and interest in the affects of advertising and consumerism.
Paul Stolper Gallery will also be exhibiting work from a previous co-publication with OBEYGIANT a print collaboration between Jamie Reid and Shepard Fairey. 4 Large Format Screen prints and unique Fine prints makes up the collaboration.
The LA Art Show will take place on January 23-27, 2013 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, South Hall, 1201 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90015. The 2013 Opening Night Premiere Party will take place on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 from 8pm-11pm, with a VIP Patron reception beginning at 7pm.
