I’m excited to announce the opening of my show Golden Compass next month with Over the Influence Bangkok. This new exhibition is an exploration of the human struggle to find balance amidst injustice and managing righteous rage and grief. The concepts of Golden Compass serve as guiding principles in our collective journey, guiding us toward self-discovery and contemplation to unlock conscious and subconscious truths.
The works in the show offer an interplay of mixed-media collage, bold graphic elements, and type to engage and challenge the viewer on a range of topics.
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 27, 5-7PM
Exhibition Dates: February 27 – April 27, 2025
PRESS RELEASE
Over the Influence Bangkok Presents Golden Compass: An Exhibition of New Work by Shepard Fairey
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.
