About This Print
Lotus Target Black is a 2012 large-format relief by Shepard Fairey from the Target Series, published by Pace Editions in an edition of 35. It is a three-color relief on handmade paper measuring 35 x 25 1/2 inches. The work fuses Fairey's target motif with a lotus floral form, marrying his concentric graphic icon to a symbol of nature and harmony. Produced through a fine-art print publisher in a small edition on premium paper, this black variant presents Fairey's decorative-meets-critical vocabulary at a substantial scale, sitting within a series that systematically explores the target image across colors and subjects.
