Shepard Fairey (OBEY) in Naples: "Power to the peaceful"

Gallerie d'Italia in Naples presents Power to the peaceful, a solo exhibition dedicated to Shepard Fairey, the artist known as OBEY. The show connects street graphic languages with current topics such as political communication, social justice and environmental protection.

What to see

  • More than 100 works including posters, screen prints and unique pieces with hand-finished details (HPM).
  • A section tracing the evolution of Fairey's style: from skateboarding culture to large museum installations.
  • Works on unconventional supports that examine the relationship between power, media and public opinion.
  • Artworks referencing peace movements and environmental themes.

Why visit

The exhibition shows how a language born in street culture can become a tool for social critique and civic engagement. Fairey's bold visuals and graphic choices prompt reflection on the role of art in the public sphere and the influence of imagery on collective debate.

Practical information

  • Venue: Gallerie d'Italia, Naples (Via Toledo, 177 and related exhibition spaces).
  • Dates: May 6, 2026 — September 6, 2026.
  • Tip: check opening hours and access rules on the institution's official website before visiting.
  • Recommended for: street art fans, graphic design enthusiasts, students of visual propaganda history and visitors looking for an art experience with civic and environmental themes.

The installation aims to balance the artist's visual impact with the city's cultural energy, creating a dialogue between the works and Naples' urban setting.
