Mixed MediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

Street art, of course, is political, because it's illegal; so the very act of doing it is an act of defiance.

Shepard Fairey (b. 1970 USA) is an American contemporary artist, activist, and founder of OBEY Clothing, known for his distinctive style that blendsstreet art, graphic design, and political commentary. Fairey rose to prominence with his "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" sticker campaign in the late 1980s, which evolved into the iconic "OBEY" series, reflecting his exploration of propaganda, power, and control. He is perhaps best known for his "HOPE" poster created during Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, which became a symbol of the era. Fairey’s work, which spans murals, posters, and fine art, is characterized by its bold use of color, imagery, and typography, often addressing themes of social justice, environmentalism, and anti-authoritarianism. His contributions have significantly shaped the visual language of contemporary activism and have made him one of the most influential figures in modern street art. (Artist website)
