Obey: Paintings and works inspired by Shepard Fairey

On this authentic road sign, Lasveguix presents a new variation on his signature urban aesthetic. At the center, a female figure inspired by Obey's iconography emerges from a dense collage of poster fragments, shattered typography, and vibrant colors. The portrait's deep blue contrasts with the layers of torn paper surrounding it, evoking the ephemeral and dynamic nature of city walls. The reflective texture of the panel, still visible beneath the collage, creates a subtle interplay of light and reinforces the contrast between the rigidity of street furniture and the expressive freedom of street art. The panel's red borders frame the composition, a reminder of its functional origins, now repurposed as an artistic medium. The superimposed layers of paper, sometimes worn, sometimes vibrant, give the whole an almost sculptural depth. One perceives the accumulation of time, the traces of passages, the visual narratives that overlap to form a fragment of the city frozen in a moment. With this work, Lasveguix blurs the lines between symbol, raw material, and urban aesthetics. He transforms a utilitarian object into a medium imbued with visual poetry, where the icon is reborn in the heart of urban chaos, between collective memory and artistic reinvention.

On this genuine, repurposed road sign, Lasveguix deploys one of his signature artistic techniques: a vibrant collage, saturated with fragments of posters, shattered typography, and urban textures that seem torn from the city walls. At the heart of this composition emerges the figure of Marianne, inspired by Obey's aesthetic, a symbol of freedom and civic engagement. Marianne's silhouette emerges like a revelation amidst a controlled visual chaos. The torn layers, vibrant colors, and overlapping paper create a sense of depth reminiscent of the natural erosion of urban walls, where posters follow one another, overlap, and ultimately tell a collective story. The reflective background of the sign, partially visible beneath the artistic interventions, creates a striking contrast between the rigidity of the traffic code and the free-spirited energy of street art. The splashes of pink paint, the graffiti, and the artist's signature reinforce the impression of an object taken from public space and transformed into a unique work of art. With this piece, Lasveguix plays on boundaries: those between republican symbol and pop culture, between regulated space and personal expression, between erasure and revelation. The work becomes a fragment of the city, frozen in time, where Marianne is reborn in the heart of urban chaos.
