In a numbing sea of digital screens and pixels, Vhils' street art and fine art demonstrate that literal and symbolic depth still matter. His art is graphically alluring and viscerally tactile, but also existentially provocative because of his simultaneous creation and destruction. I'm inspired by Vhils' work ethic which is manifested in his masterful command of so many techniques and mediums. He's creating sophisticated work for an artist at any age, but especially for such a young guy. His show Annihilation opens at Over The Influence in Los Angeles on Thursday, February 22. Hope you can make it! – Shepard. OBEY/Vhils Universal Personhood Lisbon. 24 x 30 inches. Screen print on cream Speckletone paper. Signed by Vhils and Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 450. $120.
