LONDON — Californian street artist Shepard Fairey has just unveiled his most ambitious mural to date, on a disused factory wall at the about-to-be unveiled London Pleasure Gardens, in Newham, East London. The ten storey-high piece, executed in Fairey’s signature white, red, and black, pictures a megaphone with the words: “attention, amplify your voice, project free speech great distances.”
Unlike most of Fairey’s creations, this work is entirely painted. “The mural symbolizes freedom of speech and expression,” the artist has said. “It is the tallest piece I have ever done in a space that has a great deal of character and history and it is an incredible place for my work to be shown”.
