shepard fairey has plastered upon the wall of a fourteen story building his most recent street art installation. the exterior of the building is decorated with red, black and white paint, applied by fairey and a team on a moveable platform, to reveal a close-perspective portrait of a woman and obey style flower. the piece has been put in place with the assistance of galerie itinerrance, butterfly, and mairie of 13th for the community art project entitled ‘street art 13’. in this collaborative effort, these organizations hope to breathe new creative life into the zone in allowing artists building sides as canvases for their bright artworks.

can’t wait to see what shepard ripped off next!
Copied from this stock photo

Wow…might be nice to credit the ORIGINAL artist of this piece, photographer Anna Bryukhanova!
Just another violation of other artists rights. nothing more. not an art.
where is the problem?! he took the foto as a basis for his art … without his work nobody would care about the foto at all! and btw he also altered the original set up
Derivate of a stock photograph. Based on this I guess that means that means that people who put up billboards are artists too.
Not impressed.
People are so quick to complain. Who says he didn’t pay $10 bucks for the istockphoto image? I’d just rather he filled all 14 stories. Large scale public art, whether you like the artist or like to hate him, is good for any city.
What kind of artist is that copying other people work??! Totally not impressed!
This is a beautiful and haunting work of art The artist has made this part of the city more interesting and human Is the woman a resident from another country or is she a folk heroine? He has an entire body of well loved work ,now extended to huge scale I hope we will see much more How pendantic and small minded not to see that What have you done to improve your city, smug critics?
This is derivative “art” from another artist. Original Artist should be mentioned here:

That’s all.
Firstly, critics, what have you done to help your communities in terms of art? Alright, this glaring issue along with your pointed fingers aside, what is the problem with someone working with a stock photo? Initially, the image isn\’t that great, but reinterpreted as a stencil it is much more powerful. Second, shepard may jack a lot of peoples designs or rough images, but what he does is something that ultimately integrates the work into mainstream society in a more tangible and large-scale way. And that is a beautiful thing.
wow. this is really impressive! i only wish it covered the entire building!!
it´s not a real art, it´s copy from original image !
Brian are you telling me that this mural is done out of charity? rofl!
I\’m 99% certain he got some big $ for this project!
(Almost) nothing wrong with working with a stock photo, just don\’t claim the credits..
Did the photographer credit the model?
such a shame ..
