Why It Matters

An edition of just 24 places this among FAILE's scarcest print releases, and the combination of spray paint with silkscreen ensures pronounced hand-work and variation. The large 25 x 38 inch format and layered technique make it a centerpiece-caliber work, with the 'The Change You Need' B-Side rewarding collectors who follow FAILE's thematic pairings.

Collector Perspective

Scarcity is the headline: at 24 impressions this is a genuinely limited FAILE work. The addition of spray paint over acrylic and silkscreen delivers strong impression-to-impression uniqueness. Signed, stamped, and embossed authentication secures provenance, and the imposing scale gives it museum-wall presence within a collection.

Historical Context

FAILE's smallest editions typically involve the most intensive hand-finishing, and An Act Of Faith exemplifies that with layered spray paint. The religious framing of the title continues the duo's long engagement with faith and iconography, themes they have reworked through appropriated imagery since their early street practice.
