What You Are Getting
This is a pristine example of Shepard Fairey's Obey Deco Floral Pattern (Blue) — the companion colorway to the Red edition, released simultaneously in April 2024 as a matching-numbered pair. In deep navy and sky blue on thick cream Speckletone paper, the same all-over botanical pattern fills the sheet edge-to-edge: full-face magnolia blooms, lotus buds, and interlocking foliage rendered in two tones of blue that create a layered, almost textile-like depth. At the center of each large flower, Fairey's iconic OBEY star medallion sits embedded — his signature hidden in plain sight.
This specific print is #118/275 — the same edition number as our separately listed Red colorway — making these two prints a true matching-numbered set. Matching numbered sets were originally sold together for $100 at launch and are considerably rarer on the secondary market than standalone prints. Whether purchased individually or as a pair with our Red listing, this is a meaningful provenance detail for any serious Fairey collector.
The print is hand-signed and dated '24 in pencil by Shepard Fairey at the bottom right, and hand-numbered 118/275 at the bottom left. Condition is excellent throughout: no folds, no pinholes, clean margins, and the two-tone blue ink is crisp and fully saturated. Comes with a Verisart Digital Certificate of Authenticity issued by Obey Giant — blockchain-verified provenance from the publisher.

About the Work
The Blue colorway of the Deco Floral Pattern carries its own distinct visual identity. Where the Red reads as bold and assertive — rooted in the energy of Chinese lacquerware and Soviet graphics — the Blue operates differently: cooler, more contemplative, evoking the tradition of Dutch Delftware, Japanese Imari porcelain, and the indigo-dyed textiles of West Africa. The two-tone blue palette creates a sense of depth that the single-hue Red doesn't attempt, with navy forms reading as foreground and sky blue as a luminous middle ground against the cream paper.
Fairey has spent over two decades incorporating wallpaper pattern design into his practice — initially as decorative support elements within larger compositions and as visual rhythm-setters in his street installations, and eventually as standalone fine art prints in their own right. The Deco Floral Pattern series represents that long evolution at its most refined: each tile of the repeating grid is a compelling standalone image, while the overall pattern locks together with the satisfying inevitability of a well-designed textile.
The design draws explicitly from early Art Deco — the transitional period when Art Nouveau's ornate organic curves were being rationalized into more geometric, structured form. The result is simultaneously classical and contemporary: lush enough to recall the luxury of 1920s decorative arts, graphic enough to read as pure street art, and always — with that OBEY medallion at every flower center — unmistakably Fairey.
About the Artist — Shepard Fairey (OBEY)
Born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, Shepard Fairey studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, where he launched the Andre the Giant Has a Posse wheat-paste campaign — one of the earliest and most influential viral street art projects in history, which grew into the global OBEY brand. For more than three decades, Fairey has worked across street art, graphic design, and fine art printmaking, with murals, prints, and installations across six continents.
His 2008 Obama HOPE poster became one of the most recognized political images of the 21st century. His work is in permanent collections at the Smithsonian Institution, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and dozens of major international institutions. The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston has recognized him as one of the most influential street artists alive. Fairey's prints have a consistent record of secondary market appreciation — recent releases like this 2024 screen print see rapid premium formation following their immediate sellout at source.

SHEPARD FAIREY
Few contemporary artists have bridged underground culture and institutional recognition as effectively as Shepard Fairey. Emerging from skate and punk subcultures with the original Obey Giant campaign, he built a visual language rooted in propaganda aesthetics, bold iconography, and political commentary.
What makes Fairey compelling for collectors isn’t just name recognition — it’s durability. His work sits at the intersection of activism, design, and pop culture. \
From the globally recognized Hope poster to decades of tightly controlled screenprint editions, he has demonstrated both cultural relevance and disciplined market structure.
Institutional validation from MoMA, the Smithsonian, and the V&A reinforces long-term credibility. Meanwhile, secondary market data shows consistent liquidity and steady appreciation across core prints.
For collectors, this is cultural equity with infrastructure behind it — not trend-driven volatility.
