LOTUS ANGEL
Work Summary & Collector Notes
I’m releasing this Lotus Angel print as a fundraiser for those most impacted by coronavirus here in Los Angeles. I created the Lotus Angel to inspire hope, compassion, and resilience in the face of adversity. I’m well aware that many people are uncertain about their financial future and that art is a luxury purchase. If you are in a secure enough position to buy this print, look at it as a donation to people in desperate need with this print as a “thank you” gift. 100% of the profits from the Lotus Angel print will be split between the Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles and World Harvest Food Bank . I know we are all feeling the stresses of this challenging time, but I’ve been incredibly inspired by the many acts of kindness and generosity I’ve seen. We are separated, but in this together! -Shepard Lotus Angel. 18 x 24 inches. Screen print on cream Speckle Tone paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 500. $70.

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 2020 and attributes the edition to Obey Giant.
