Over the Influence Bangkok is thrilled to present Golden compass, the newest exhibition by cultural icon Shepard Fairey, a profound exploration of the human struggle to find balance and harmony amidst injustice, righteous rage, and grief. In collaboration with OTI, this exhibition highlights the transformative power of art as a tool to connect with the most compassionate core of our humanity.
The concepts within Golden compass serve as guiding principles for our collective journey, offering pathways to self-discovery and contemplation that unlock conscious and subconscious truths. The works in this show masterfully combine mixed-media collage, bold graphic elements, and typography, engaging viewers with dynamic dialogues on a range of complex themes. Each piece confronts these subjects while fostering a direct and intimate connection with the audience, aiming to inspire reflection and, ideally, subtle or overt calls to action.
The exhibition features a diverse collection of original mixed-media paintings alongside a selection of retired stencils and screenprints on wood and metal, all set against intricately collaged backgrounds. Together, these works invite viewers to reflect on their own journeys, encouraging them to find their personal compass in the face of life's challenges.
Golden compass runs from 27 February to 27 April 2025 at Over the Influence, Bangkok. We invite you to join us in experiencing this powerful collection of works that not only challenges but also inspires meaningful reflection and action.
