Part One of Shepard Fairey’s 30th Anniversary Documentary, Facing the Giant: 3 Decades of Dissent the punk beginnings of a 19-year-old Shepard Fairey (@obeygiant) up to his current life as 49-year-old artist, activist, punk, father, and husband who journeys through trials both metaphorically and literally. Shepard Fairey has always spoken his mind through his art, and this latest exhibition reflects the continuity and evolution of his art and his concepts over the last 30 years. The title Facing the Giant references Fairey’s massive, early dissemination of Andre the Giant stickers, but more importantly, the giant issues he confronts with his art.
