SHEPARD FAIREY (American, 1970) DUALITY OF HUMANITY - 2008 Silkscreen on paper (5)//Signed and dated in pencil lower right "Shepard Fairey '08" Numbered in pencil various out of 450 18 by 24 inches (each) Shepard Fairey uses the democratic nature of the print making process as a method to express his political values and expose social injustices to a wider public. The issue of child soldiers throughout Western and Eastern Africa came to wider attention during the war in Sierra Leone and the conflict in Uganda. Using wordplay, the title emphasizes the disparity between the innocence of the child and one who wields a gun. Fairey has exhibited his work throughout North America and Europe, and has work in numerous prominent collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Los Angeles County Museum of Modern Art; and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Washington D.C. $600-800 Categories: Shepard Fairey
