Artist Statement
“These two Collage Peace Mandalas are based on fine art pieces I created for my "Swan Song" show at Galerie Itinerrance in Paris. Peace has been an important theme in my work for many years and I'm always looking for new ways to address peace visually. These mandalas have a lace-like fragility laid over chaotic collage backgrounds. The contrast is meant to emphasize the delicate and precarious nature of peace that requires thoughtful care to maintain. We all need reminders to be vigilant in pursuing peace, so here's one of my contributions. -Shepard Collage Peace Mandala (Blue) & Collage Peace
About This Print
Collage Peace Mandala is a 2024 screen print on thick cream Speckletone paper, 18 x 24 inches, signed by Shepard Fairey in a numbered edition of 400, published by Obey Giant. It is based on fine-art pieces Fairey created for his Swan Song show at Galerie Itinerrance in Paris. The design lays a lace-like, fragile mandala over a chaotic collage background; Fairey describes the contrast as emphasizing the delicate and precarious nature of peace, which requires thoughtful care to maintain. Issued in Blue and Red colorways, matching numbered sets were offered together, framing the work as a vigilant reminder to keep pursuing peace.
