“FRAGMENTS + FACADES,” an art exhibition part of Charleston by Design and Charleston Festival

The display was created exclusively for exhibition at the Aiken-Rhett House and features three artists, two of whom are Charlestonians.

This photo depicts a gathering of people inside an ornate, historical room with vintage decor. The room features distressed walls with decorative molding, a grand chandelier with multiple candle-style lights, and a black fireplace adorned with framed artwork. The artwork includes iconic "Obey" prints associated with Shepard Fairey, featuring bold graphic designs in red, black, and white.

In the center of the room, a striking art installation is displayed — a boat covered in Fairey's signature designs, including the word "OBEY" and stylized motifs. Several people are present, some are engaged in conversation, while others are observing the artwork.

Fragments + Facades is presented by The Dewberry Foundation.

Right now in downtown Charleston, you have the chance to see an art exhibition created exclusively for the Aiken-Rhett House — bringing art + history together in a unique setting. The limited-time opportunity is part of Charleston by Design and the Charleston Festival.

“Fragments + Facades” is curated by Kelly S. Turner + features works by Charleston natives, artists Shepard Fairey and Tim Hussey, and Atlanta-based artist, Masud Olufani.

The artists’ immersive works are juxtaposed with the Aiken-Rhett House Museum’s peeling wallpaper and original furnishings. In a preview, each of the artists shared more about their work — Fairey explained how his experiences in Charleston shaped his passion, Hussey talked about how nature inspires his craft, and Olufani shared how the space housing the art helps unveil some of his works’ deeper meanings.

Grab tickets so you can see this exclusive exhibit at the Aiken-Rhett House for yourself from now until Sunday, April 13.
