About This Print
Reconnect (2021) is a signed, numbered silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey featuring the artist and activist Common. Made in collaboration with the Amplifier Foundation, it is printed on thick speckle-tone creme archival paper and measures 18 x 24 inches in a first edition of 450. Fairey applies his bold, poster-style graphic portraiture to Common, framing the musician as a figure of cultural and social significance. The work pairs his screen-print craft with Amplifier's mission of producing art for social change, and was released alongside its companion piece, Reenvision.
