“CHINESE STENCIL Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 200” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Chinese Stencil is a 2000 Shepard Fairey screen print, published by Obey Giant in a first edition of 200, measuring 18 x 24 inches. Executed in Fairey's stencil-driven, high-contrast graphic style, it references Chinese imagery and belongs to his early Obey Giant studio output. As a run of 200 impressions, it sits among the moderately limited editions of the period. The work reflects Fairey's recurring interest in appropriating global and East Asian visual motifs, a thread that runs through several of his turn-of-the-millennium stencils.
