Barb Wire Dove Gradient
Work Summary & Collector Notes
This Barb Wire Dove Gradient screen print is based on the Peace Dove, a motif I’ve used in several iterations over the years, because as an icon, the dove is internationally recognized as a symbol of peace, making it ideal as a communication tool. With the wars going on in the world, a message of peace is more important now than ever. The peace dove includes a flower growing from the barb wire, symbolizing positive growth from an oppressive situation. In this version of the Barb Wire Dove, I’ve explored a new color and placement by having the gradient of red with spray texture into the blue rays up toward what could be interpreted as the sky to depict the dove rising above the darkness and into a more positive future.

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 2024 and attributes the edition to Obey Giant.
