EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, titled "Will i Am: Shakespeare, Chan, Hollis," presents a captivating juxtaposition of three iconic figures from distinct historical eras: the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare (1564-1616), the late 20th-century rapper Will.i.am, and the contemporary artists Shepard Fairey's Chan and OBEY Giant's Hollis. At the center of the composition, Shakespeare's oval portrait radiates an aura of timeless wisdom. His intricately detailed visage, adorned with a prominent ear ring, is framed by a border of vignettes depicting scenes from his most famous plays, including "Romeo and Juliet," "Macbeth," and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The historical significance of Shakespeare's influence on literature and theater is undeniable, and his enduring legacy continues to captivate audiences worldwide. To the left, Shepard Fairey's Chan portrait adds a modern twist to the composition. The vibrant colors and bold lines of this contemporary piece contrast sharply with the traditional style of Shakespeare's portrait, yet they complement each other in a striking and thought-provoking way. Chan, a prominent figure in the world of street art, is known for his intricate and layered designs, which often incorporate elements of social and political commentary. To the right, Hollis' portrait of Will.i.am adds a further layer of complexity to the image. The black-and-white depiction of the rapper, with his signature red beanie and sunglasses, is juxtaposed against the colorful Chan portrait and the muted tones of Shakespeare's portrait. Will.i.am, a versatile artist and member of the Black Eyed Peas, is known for his innovative use of music, technology, and multimedia in his work. Together, these three portraits invite us to reflect on the rich and diverse history of art and culture, and the ways in which the past continues to influence and inspire the present.
