To celebrate the 30th anniversary of OBEY, Shepard Fairey collaborated with graffiti exhibition BEYOND THE STREETS on three graphic-heavy spray paint cans. Each of the Montana spray cans have been decorated with Fairey’s iconic prints, “Lotus Blue,” “Cut It Up” and “Target.” Additionally, each can comes encased in a wooden box which can be used as a display unit.
According to Fairey, “I’ve been using Montana spray paint for many years because it gives the best performance and durability of all the paint brands that I’ve tried out. When I was younger, and I was doing things very spontaneously, I wasn’t thinking about longevity, but even for an ephemeral art form like street art or graffiti, I think we all want paint to stand the test of time as much as possible.” He concludes: “It’s very meta – the can that makes the art, that ends up on the can.”
