Theory 11 has once again teamed up with Shepard Fairey’s Obey Giant to create a set of playing cards that is as much a work of art as it is a collector’s item. The Theory 11 OBEY Playing Cards Box Set ($99.95) is a testament to the enduring impact of Fairey’s work over the past three decades, encapsulating his iconic and thought-provoking designs in a format that can be enjoyed by both card enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
The box set includes six decks, with two of each stunning edition: Red, Collage, and Gold. Each deck is a visual masterpiece, featuring unique back designs and packaging that are printed with multiple layers of foil stamping and sculptured embossing, giving each deck a rich, textured feel. The common faces across the decks are adorned with vibrant, iconic OBEY art, making every card a canvas that celebrates the evolution of Fairey’s work.
This collaboration marks 12 years since Theory 11 first worked with Shepard Fairey’s team on the Rebels deck. The new OBEY series takes that partnership to the next level, showcasing three distinct eras of Fairey’s career. The Red deck represents the raw, bold origins of OBEY, while the Collage deck captures the layered, multifaceted approach that Fairey is known for. The Gold deck, with its luxurious finish, symbolizes the enduring legacy of Fairey’s art and its influence on culture and society.
Each set comes with an official Certificate of Authenticity, underscoring the exclusivity and collectibility of these decks. The attention to detail in both design and production is evident in every element, from the intricate back designs to the sculptured embossing on the packaging. This is more than just a set of playing cards; it’s a celebration of a movement, a statement piece that captures the rebellious spirit and cultural commentary that has made Shepard Fairey a household name.
For those looking to expand their collection with something truly special, the Theory 11 OBEY Playing Cards Box Set offers an unparalleled combination of art, history, and craftsmanship. It’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of the OBEY legacy, beautifully encapsulated in a format that invites both play and reflection. Whether you’re a fan of street art, a playing card collector, or someone who appreciates bold, provocative design, this box set is a must-have.
