Artist Statement
“Imperial Glory 2012 Silkscreen in six colors 56 5/8 x 42 5/8 inches Edition of 50” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Imperial Glory is a 2012 large-format Shepard Fairey silkscreen produced in six colors, measuring 56 5/8 x 42 5/8 inches in an edition of 50. The title evokes themes of empire and power, rendered at a monumental scale in Fairey's bold, multi-color graphic style. As one of his largest screen-print formats, the work showcases his decorative-yet-critical visual language, layering six colors into an ornate composition. The substantial dimensions and small edition position it as a major statement piece within his 2012 output, executed through silkscreen rather than the relief technique used elsewhere in his concurrent large-format works.
