The Work

Proud Parents comes from Fairey's Damaged series, a project that deliberately roughs up his own polished iconography with the scuffs, tears and overprinting of the street. Rendered as a distressed stencil, the image wears the marks of the wall, embracing the wear and imperfection that Fairey's outdoor work naturally accumulates and that his gallery editions usually smooth away.

The Damaged body of work was Fairey's response to a fractured cultural moment, a visual acknowledgment that the systems and relationships we depend on can feel battered and provisional. By foregrounding the damaged surface, he turns decay into meaning, letting the physical distress of the image mirror the emotional and political strain of the era.

Hand-signed and numbered 46/400 in pencil by Shepard Fairey.
