Duality of Humanity - Exhibition by Shepard Fairey

Duality of Humanity - Solo Exhibition by Shepard Fairey
Opening Sept 13th, 2008 7-10pm
The Shooting Gallery & White Walls Gallery - San Francisco

From the Juxtapoz website:

The title of the show, Duality of Humanity, is inspired by the peace-sign wearing US soldier in Vietnam, 'Joker,' in Brian DePalma's Full Metal Jacket. A central piece is a child with a gun in his hand and a flower in his hat. That theme of soldiers and weapons bearing peace signs, or peace signs comprised of military effects, runs through many works in the show. Environmental themes also appear in some pieces, illustrating the tenuous balance between our dangerously uncontrolled consumption of non-renewable resources, and our well-intentioned eco-concerns. Suffering and hope are seamlessly merged in a visual mash-up that defies expectations and easy answers.

Shepard Fairey always brings the heat. I saw one of his shows in San Diego a few years back and it was awesome (around the release of his Johnny Cash poster). You can also see a great video of Shepard posting on the streets of San Fran...killing some time in mid-state before his show opening.
