OBEY Giant “Obey Radical Peace” Screen Prints by Shepard Fairey

OBEY Giant “Obey Radical Peace” Screen Prints by Shepard Fairey

This Thursday, OBEY Giant will be releasing Shepard Fairey’s newest screen print “Obey Radical Peace”!  It is based on Fairey’s art piece from his “Future Mosaic” art show. Shepard’s philosophy has always been that violence is the first resort of the weak-minded. As you can imagine, the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol was the inspiration for this image but, unfortunately, there are plenty of other examples of small-minded violence.

As Shepard explained, “I would like to see people use diplomacy and creativity to find mutually beneficial solutions to problems rather than using violence as the first reaction to conflict.⁠ Proceeds go to Defending Rights and Dissent to support their efforts on strengthening our participatory democracy by protecting the right to political expression.”

Obey Radical Peace by Shepard Fairey is an 18”x24” signed and numbered screen print on thick cream Speckletone paper.  It will be available in three colorways: a Blue Edition, a Red Edition and a Cream Edition.  Each colorway is limited to 375 pieces and will retail for $55.  A limited amount of matching numbered sets will also be released for $165.  All three prints go on sale at 10am PT this Thursday, May 6th, at store.obeygiant.com.
