“Urban Renewal series Image of the Seekonk Bridge in Providence, RI, an old railroad bridge that was permanently raised in 1981.” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
RI Bridge is a 2000 screen print from Fairey's Urban Renewal series, published by Obey Giant in a first edition of 200 and measuring 18 x 24 inches. It depicts the Seekonk Bridge in Providence, Rhode Island, an old railroad bridge that was permanently raised in 1981. Rendered in Fairey's flat graphic style, the print turns a disused piece of industrial infrastructure into a stark architectural subject, reflecting the series' interest in the decaying urban environments that shaped his early street practice.
