Gauntlet Gallery — Complete Shepard Fairey Print Index
BARB WIRE DOVE COLLAGE
Work Summary & Collector Notes
This screen print is based on a mixed-media fine art piece I made using collage, stenciling, and painting. I’ve created several iterations of the peace dove over the years because as an icon, the dove is internationally recognized as a symbol of peace, making it ideal as a communication tool. This version of the peace dove includes a flower growing from the barb wire, symbolizing positive growth from an oppressive situation. The majority of these prints will be available in Lisbon through Urban (R)Evolution . 100 will be available through obeygiant.com . –Shepard PRINT DETAILS: Barb Wire Dove Collage. 18 x 24 inches.

Documented History and Meaning
History note: Shepard Fairey's OBEY / Andre the Giant campaign began in 1989 and grew into a long print and public-art practice; this page treats that as career context, not proof that this specific edition belongs to any single exhibition.
Meaning / interpretation: Fairey's practice combines propaganda-style imagery, political and countercultural themes, and a recurring OBEY vocabulary. Subject-specific intent is not assumed here unless the release record states it. This interpretive note follows the cited artist or publisher context.
Release context: The saved catalog lists 2023 and attributes the edition to Obey Giant.
