Shepard Fairey has teamed up with Francisco Reyes Jr. on not one but two awesome screen print diptychs. As Francisco explained, “The Disruption and Disorder series was inspired by the divisive rhetoric and dog whistles President Trump uses to manipulate the media. As a first generation Mexican-American, the hate spewed from then-candidate Trump was appalling on a deeply personal level. I have now been working under Shep for the past 5½ years and in this time, he has nurtured and facilitated my growth as an artist. The discipline and techniques I acquired through his guidance have now come full circle and manifested in this collaboration — it is a direct criticism of Trump’s America. I hope the message will resonate with others just as it did for me so long ago.”
The “Deceit and Disruption” Diptych and the “Destruction and Denial” Diptych by Shepard Fairey x Francisco Reyes Jr. are 18”x24” signed and numbered screen prints on cream Speckletone paper. Each set of 2 prints is limited to 200 pieces and will retail for $110 per diptych. 150 of each diptych will go on sale at 10am PST today, Tuesday, July 11th, at the Obey Giant online store, with the remaining 50 sets of each diptych available at the same day and time at the Never Made online store.
