Shepard Fairey Limited Edition Serigraph "Flint Eye Alert Globe"

Item Details

A 2017 limited edition serigraph print titled Flint Eye Alert Globe by well-listed and world-renowned contemporary street artist Shepard Fairey (South Carolina/California; born 1970). The monochromatic blue print depicts two intersecting circles. The lower circle is a globe, the upper circle features a flower over a striped pattern and the area where they overlap is a large eye. It is signed and dated in pencil to the lower right, and numbered 80 out of an edition of 450 to the lower left.

Fairy described the work as follows: ‘This piece is based on a painting I did for my ’Earth Crisis’ show in Paris. The entire body of work for that show used these shades of blue/turquoise as a connection to the air and water that is essential to sustaining life on planet Earth. This piece is more specifically about the idea that we need to see what is right in front of us, that we are dependent on nature and I used the blooming flower as a symbol of both beauty and growth. If we keep ruining the air and water, things won’t grow, not to mention we’ll all get sick.’
