#Portrait in Shepard Fairey Style
Shepard Fairey is an artist who creates artwork by reducing a portrait to four or five colors.
Fairey gained greater recognition during the 2008 US presidential campaign with his iconic "HOPE" poster for Barack Obama. It is part of a poster series that Fairey initially designed independently for the Obama campaign. The poster, styled in the national colors red, blue, and white and reminiscent of Pop Art, quickly became the most famous image of the Obama campaign. It was acquired by the Smithsonian Institution during Obama's inauguration and is displayed in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
I was so fascinated by the image that I took a portrait of someone I know and tried to emulate his style.
Feel free to give me feedback on whether you like it.

#Portrait im Shepard Fairey Stiel
Shepard Fairey ist ein Künstler der durch die Reduktion eines Portraits auf vier bis fünf Farben ein Kunstwerk erschafft.
Größere Bekanntheit erreichte Fairey im Zuge des Wahlkampfes während des US-Präsidentschaftswahlkampfs 2008 mit seinem ikonischen Plakat „HOPE“ für Barack Obama. Es ist Teil einer Poster Serie, die Fairey zunächst in Eigenregie für die Obama-Kampagne entwarf. Das in den Nationalfarben rot, blau und weiß gehaltene, stilistisch an die Pop-Art erinnernde Poster entwickelte sich rasch zum bekanntesten Motiv der Obama-Wahlkampagne. Im Rahmen der Amtseinführung Obamas wurde es von der Smithsonian Institution erworben und ist in der National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. ausgestellt.
Mich hat das Bild so fasziniert, dass ich ein Portrait einer mir bekannten Person genommen habe und seinen Stil versucht habe nachzuempfinden.
Gebt mir gerne Feedback, ob es Euch gefällt.
