“VISUAL POLLUTION GAS MASK Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 200” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Visual Pollution Gas Mask is a 2001 Shepard Fairey screen print measuring 18 x 24 inches, published by Obey Giant in a first edition of 200. The gas-mask imagery foregrounds environmental and industrial concerns, pairing Fairey's propaganda-poster style with a pointed ecological message. Part of his Visual Pollution series, the work links the contamination of the visual environment with literal air pollution. Rendered in high-contrast graphic form, it sits at the intersection of his early Obey Giant practice and his developing environmental commentary at the turn of the millennium.
