ABOUT THE ART

"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. Thanks as always for your support."

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Frank Shepard Fairey (born February 15, 1970) is an American contemporary graphic designer, and illustrator who emerged from the skateboarding scene. He first became known for his "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" (…OBEY…) sticker campaign, in which he appropriated images from the comedic supermarket tabloid Weekly World News. His work became more widely known in the 2008 U.S. presidential election, specifically his Barack Obama "Hope" poster.

The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston calls him one of today's best known and most influential street artists. His work is included in the collections at The Smithsonian, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
