Bob Marley (Slave Driver) 15 Fairey
About this poster
This 2015 art print titled "Slave Driver" by Shepard Fairey (Obey) features a striking side profile of Bob Marley based on a photograph by Dennis Morris. The image portrays Marley's distinctive silhouette with his iconic dreadlocks rendered in dramatic yellow, white, and red tones against a rich textured background of deep crimson and black.
Fairey employs his signature stencil-like technique with high-contrast colors to create this powerful representation. The heavily layered background incorporates various patterns, subtle text elements, and decorative motifs that add visual complexity. At the bottom right is a small flame emblem, alongside Fairey's recognizable OBEY logo marks.
The print was released during Dennis Morris's "Revolutionary Dreams" exhibit at Known Gallery, specifically timed to coincide with what would have been Bob Marley's 70th birthday. The title "Slave Driver" references one of Marley's songs that confronts historical oppression and calls for liberation, reinforcing the print's significance as both artistic tribute and social commentary.
