About the Item

"This Monkey Pod VSE (Variable Stencil Edition) is a collaboration produced with my good friend and former co-worker Ernesto Reyna Each piece is a stencil painting with letterpress lantern images glued in position to add an additional dimension to the art. The price difference between the two variable editions is because of the greater technical and labor-intensive demands of the red and gold version. A portion of the proceeds from these stencil pieces will go to the NRDC to support their efforts to improve environmental regulations and policies. I originally made the Monkey Pod image based on a tree on the grounds of The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu, where I completed a residency back in 2005. I was presented with a unique conundrum: Hawaii doesn't have outdoor advertising, which my street art was designed to compete with and make people question. After visiting Hawaii, I realized that the primary form of propaganda was not advertising but the cliches of Hawaii itself: Coke machines have palm trees instead of Coke logos on them, phone booths have floral patterns running down the side, and everyone wears Aloha shirts. All the cliches of Hawaii's picturesque beauty are perpetuated to encourage tourism. However, for once, I got to make art that was decorative, beautiful, and a celebration of nature while still incorporating my iconography in a conceptually, if not visually incongruous, way." -Shepard Design for The Contemporary Museum Honolulu Hawaii Made in 2021, it is signed and numbered by the Artist.

Shepard Fairey Mandala Ornament (Holiday) Screen print on thick cream Speckletone paper Year: 2010 Size: 24 x 18 inches (60.96 x 45.72 cm) Edition: 450 Signed by Shepard Fairey, dated and numbered by hand COA provided *Edition number may vary from the image shown. **THIS VERSION HAS NEVER BEEN SOLD PUBLICLY UNTIL THIS YEAR. Very limited sale - RARE! Shepard Fairey has returned repeatedly to the mandala as a central visual and conceptual motif within his practice, with the form emerging prominently in 2010 through the Mandala Ornament prints. These works built upon earlier lotus and ornamental compositions from the late 2000s that already explored radial symmetry, balance, and meditative geometry, though not yet explicitly titled as mandalas. Drawing from Buddhist and Hindu visual traditions while integrating Western graphic design and propaganda aesthetics, Fairey’s mandalas function as symbols of interconnectedness and contemplation—counterweights to social and political turbulence. Rendered in disciplined two-tone compositions of black ink on cream paper, the mandalas emphasize structure, repetition, and symbolism over decoration. Introduced during a period of global uncertainty, these works established an enduring framework in Fairey’s oeuvre, merging sacred geometry, activist intent, and rigorous design into images that invite sustained reflection.
