About This Print
Peaceful Protester is a 2017 letterpress print by Shepard Fairey, published by Obey Giant. It measures 13 x 17 inches and was printed on cream cotton paper with hand-deckled edges as a numbered edition of 450. The image addresses themes of peace and protest, rendered in Fairey's signature graphic style. The hand-deckled cotton stock and letterpress process give the work a tactile, handmade quality distinct from his standard screen prints. The title and visual concept center on nonviolent demonstration as a form of resistance, consistent with the artist's longstanding engagement with peace and anti-war messaging.
