“JAPAN STENCIL Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 140” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Japan Stencil is a 2000 Shepard Fairey screen print, published by Obey Giant in a first edition of 140, measuring 18 x 24 inches. The work belongs to Fairey's early stencil-driven output, applying his signature graphic, propaganda-influenced visual language to imagery referencing Japan. As one of a tight run of 140 impressions, it sits among the smaller editions from this period of his studio practice. The print pairs stark stencil forms with Fairey's recognizable bold, high-contrast aesthetic, reflecting the street-art-to-studio crossover that defined his work at the turn of the millennium.
