About This Print
Rise From The Ashes (Black) is a 2020 screen print published by Migrate Art, issued in an edition of 89 at 106.5 x 74 cm, signed and numbered by Shepard Fairey. The two-color print incorporates ash from burnt crop fields in Iraqi Kurdistan mixed into the black ink. Fairey depicts his dove, a recurring peace symbol, but here rendered in black and red to evoke a phoenix rising from destruction rather than a traditional white dove. The work supports Migrate Art's mission to aid refugees and people made vulnerable by war and unrest, framing art as a vehicle for compassion and material benefit to that cause.
