Artist Statement
“I saw one of Alfredo Gonzalez's art pieces online and did a deep dive into his exquisitely rendered body of work. I then contacted him to commission an art piece, which led to us becoming friends and to further art acquisitions, and eventually to this Make Art Not War(Painting) print project. Alfredo, being of a kind and generous character, made a small painting inspired by my Make Art Not War print and gave it to me as a gift. I was so impressed by his interpretation of the print that I suggested we make a hybrid collaboration piece, which led to a t-shirt and now to these print variations.
About This Print
Make Art Not War (Painting) (Cream) is a 2025 hand-pulled screen print in collaboration with Alfredo Gonzalez (Dofre). Measuring 18 x 24 inches on 80# cream Speckletone paper, it is a signed, numbered edition of 150, published by Obey Giant at $120, and signed by both Shepard Fairey and Alfredo Gonzalez. The work grew from Gonzalez making a small painting inspired by Fairey's Make Art Not War print, which led to a hybrid collaboration that became a t-shirt and these print variations. It is offered in Black and Cream editions. Each comes with a Verisart Digital Certificate of Authenticity.
