offset printing; Hand signed; // Demagogue by Shepard Fairey, an offset print created in 2016, delivers a powerful political statement through stark, graphic imagery. The composition features a close-up of an open mouth mid-shout, with sharp, angular red, black, and white lines radiating outward, enhancing the sense of aggression and intensity. The word DEMAGOGUE is boldly displayed at the top, while FRANZ FERDINAND appears at the bottom, referencing both the band's song and the historical figure whose assassination sparked World War I. Fairey's distinct style, influenced by propaganda and pop art, conveys a critique of authoritarian and inflammatory rhetoric, calling attention to the dangers of persuasive yet divisive leadership. The print is hand-signed, adding a personal touch to this limited edition piece.

What is activist art?
Activist Art is a form of art created to address social and political issues. It often involves public engagement and works closely with communities to raise awareness or inspire change. While it can include elements of performance art, it is not limited to this form. Examples include creating and distributing social protest posters or organizing community-based art projects that highlight specific causes.
