It is the first comprehensive collection of Faile’s wide range of prints, graphic design, and paintings. Their work can be seen as a modern interpretation of classic American collage and graphic printmaking that skillfully combines visual cues from a street aesthetic, pop culture, comics, and advertising.
If you're not familiar with Faile then this should put you in the picture.
The Brooklyn-based artists Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller began their prolific collaboration as Faile in 1999 by creating street art in New York City. Today, Faile have established themselves along with Banksy and Shepard Fairey as the leading figures in the genre of urban art. Their work is exhibited in museums and has been sold successfully by renowned galleries such as Gagosian and Lazarides. Faile still work on the streets of cities throughout the world and are held in high esteem by their artist peers.
