About This Print
Chaos Mandala 2 is a 2025 screen print, 18 x 24 inches, on 80# cream Speckletone paper, signed and numbered in a first edition of 550 published by Obey Giant. It is a new colorway of Fairey's original Chaos Mandala screen print. The image again merges chaos and harmony, drawing on his fascination with the cyclical layering and tearing of street posters and graffiti, recreated through his own patterns and collage, set against the mandala as a symbol of harmony, wholeness, and the universe in ideal form. Fairey cites Buddhist monks' creation and destruction of sand mandalas and notes this version complements a recent release. Priced at $60.
