One of my favorite artists releases a must have piece for the coffee table and book shelf. In his latest book titled E Pluribus Venom (meaning: From Many, Venom), Fairey features pieces from his 2007 show at the Jonathan Levin Gallery in New York City. The title is a play on words of E pluribus unum (From Many, One), the Latin phrase that appears on U.S. currency.
Fairey’s intended meaning: the myriad strands of American society, culture, politics, business, and media today conspire to create an environment that, both literally and figuratively, is poisonous. I get the feeling my conservative friends that bashed me (or attempted to), will take some more stabs at me for this post. If you guys missed out on the comment bashment, be sure to check it out…very amusing to say the least.
