About This Print
State Violence State Control is a 2018 Shepard Fairey screen print published by Obey Giant, measuring 18 x 24 inches on cream Speckletone paper. The title points to a critique of state-sanctioned violence and control, consistent with Fairey's anti-authoritarian themes, though the source provides only minimal descriptive detail. It was signed by the artist and released as a numbered edition of 400 at an original price of $50. The work uses Fairey's familiar graphic-design and propaganda-inspired visual language.
