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.

Marianne Obey Urban Wall is a vibrant urban artwork by Lasveguix , combining collage, superimposed torn posters, and iconic iconography. At the center of the composition appears the figure of Marianne, inspired by Obey's graphic style, surrounded by floral motifs and positioned against a tricolor background of blue, white, and red. The republican inscription “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” runs vertically across the work, reinforcing the piece's symbolic significance. Around this central figure, Lasveguix constructs a living wall made of torn posters, tags, bursts of color, and irregular textures. The successive layers reveal a dialogue between order and chaos, between official message and popular expression. Fragments of typography, traces of paint, and graphic symbols lend the whole a raw, energetic, and decidedly street art aesthetic. By merging an icon of French identity with contemporary urban aesthetics, the artist creates a work that questions public space, citizenship, and the visual power of symbols. Marianne Obey Urban Wall thus asserts a strong identity: that of a wall that speaks, that lives, and that carries both memory and modernity.

In this work, Lasveguix pays homage to Obey , an emblematic figure of global street art, by revisiting the iconic Marianne through his own aesthetic. On a piece of torn cardboard, with edges burned by time, the artist recreates the illusion of a fragment torn from an urban wall —a witness to a passage, a visual cry, a street memory. Layers of overlapping posters, graffiti marks, and paint chips blend chaos and harmony. The partially revealed face of Liberty emerges from the collage as a timeless symbol, both fragile and indestructible. The handwritten “Made in France” label acts as a clear signature: that of an artist who celebrates the French urban scene while engaging in dialogue with its international influences. Through Fragment of Freedom , Lasveguix questions the notion of trace and heritage. Each tear becomes the mark of a gesture, each piece of cardboard, a piece of wall that tells the story of freedom of expression. Framed size: 42 x 32 x 3 cm

This work of Lasveguix perfectly embodies the tension between heritage and modernity. Against a minimalist black background stands a vibrant collage blending textures, poster fragments, and bursts of color. In the center, the iconic female face—inspired by the graphic codes of committed street art—symbolizes Freedom , a word partially revealed, as if torn from the wall of time. Around this figure, Lasveguix superimposes layers of torn paper, graffiti and paint in vivid shades, creating a composition that is both raw and poetic. The hand-painted inscription “Made in France” anchors the message: an affirmation of artistic and cultural identity, proudly rooted in the French urban scene. Between homage and diversion, this work celebrates the power of collage as an act of memory and resistance. Each tear becomes a gesture of freedom, each trace a street imprint. Framed size: 42 x 32 x 3 cm

In this work, Lasveguix explores the technique of collage and torn posters to revisit a well-known graphic icon: the Marianne popularized by Shepard Fairey (Obey) . At the center, the stylized and ornamented face emerges through layers of colorful, typographic and handwritten posters, creating a game of progressive unveiling. The composition gives the impression of a fragment torn from an urban wall , like a section of visual palimpsest where successive layers of display tell a collective story. By mixing the visual universe of Obey — a symbol of resistance and counterculture — with his own visual language, Lasveguix composes a piece that is both raw and poetic. The tears, overlays, and textures echo the materiality of the street, where images crumble and reinvent themselves over time. The work thus questions the tension between icon and contemporary appropriation, between shared memory and personal expression. Framed size: 42 x 32 x 3 cm
