About the Item

Shepard Fairey Jasper Johns Red Screen print on thick cream paper Year: 2009 Size: 24 x 18 inches (60.96 x 45.72 cm) Edition: 450 Signed by Shepard Fairey, dated and numbered by hand Original Illustration based on a photograph by Michael Tighe COA provided *Edition number may vary from the image shown. **Condition: Minute corner creasing; consistent with age. Please refer to images. Shepard Fairey created his print portrait of Jasper Johns in 2009 as part of a broader body of work honoring influential figures who reshaped modern and contemporary art. Rather than producing a conventional likeness, Fairey situates Johns within his own graphic visual language—combining portraiture with layered symbols, typographic elements, and bold compositional framing. The work acknowledges Johns’s radical redefinition of imagery through everyday symbols while simultaneously filtering that legacy through Fairey’s interest in authorship, repetition, and cultural memory. By merging reverence with reinterpretation, the print functions both as homage and dialogue, positioning Johns as a foundational figure whose ideas continue to resonate within contemporary visual culture and politically engaged art.

Shepard Fairey Fractured Harmony Screen print on thick cream Speckletone paper Year: 2025 Size: 24 x 18 inches (60.96 x 45.72 cm) Edition: 550 Signed by Shepard Fairey, dated and numbered by hand; each COA provided *Edition number may vary from the image shown. The Fractured Harmony print by Shepard Fairey explores the tension between unity and division through the symbolic use of the mandala, a form traditionally associated with balance, wholeness, and spiritual harmony. In Fairey’s interpretation, the mandala appears torn or disrupted, transforming a symbol of collective interconnectedness into a reflection on social fragmentation and environmental neglect. At the center of the composition is a female figure partially obscured behind the fractured form. Her gaze toward the viewer introduces a psychological and emotional dimension, suggesting disappointment and concern over humanity’s continued inability to maintain mutual respect—for one another as well as for the planet that sustains life. The torn mandala functions both literally and metaphorically, representing the breakdown of collective responsibility and shared purpose. Consistent with Fairey’s broader body of socially engaged work, the print challenges ideological polarization and simplistic oppositions. The artist argues against the notion that personal freedom and collective well-being are inherently incompatible, instead proposing that self-determination and environmental or social responsibility can coexist in a balanced and mutually supportive relationship. Visually, the composition combines Fairey’s characteristic graphic clarity with more introspective symbolism, balancing activist messaging with emotional resonance. Fractured Harmony reflects recurring themes in his work: unity, environmental consciousness, social responsibility, and the search for constructive coexistence in an increasingly divided world.
