Shepard Fairey aka Obey Giant will be releasing a new limited edition screen print next week via his official website.
“Ai Weiwei” is an edition of 375, it measures 18 x 24 inches and comes signed and numbered by the popular American street artist. The limited edition print will be sold for $60 each.
“I admire Ai Weiwei for his art and his activism. His art is beautiful in form, and in function embodies the principles of populism and social consciousness I aspire to in my own practice. This poster is a tribute to Ai Weiwei’s art, his courage to be outspoken, and in support of his ongoing political struggle with the Chinese government. I hope the image will help raise awareness and advance dialogue that might lead to permission for Ai Weiwei to travel freely and continue to express himself.” – Shepard
The “Ai Weiwei” print is set to drop on April 8th at a random time between 1PM and 2PM PST at the Obey Giant online store.
