Shepard Fairey, the graffiti artist and illustrator famous for his
Barack Obama “HOPE” poster and “Obey Giant” graffiti campaign, recently
unveiled his latest piece. Titled “Eye Alert,” the print offers a
pretty damn striking yet ambiguous critique of America’s healthcare
situation: an angular faced woman stares at the viewer, the irises of
her eyes a pair of skulls, while she cries tears filled with caducei.
With
its bold, visually striking design and biting political message, the
piece is classic Fairey. “Eye Alert” will be available to purchase
from Fairey’s website
and was produced in a limited run of 350 for 45$ each. The piece,
which measures 18” by 24”, is hand numbered and signed by Fairey.
