OBEY Giant “Raise The Level (Peace)” Screen Print by Shepard Fairey

Today, OBEY Giant is releasing this beautiful new “Raise The Level (Peace)” screen print by Shepard Fairey! As Fairey explained, “This “Raise the Level (Peace)” print is based on one of my art pieces focused on peace and harmony included in my exhibition at the Straat Museum in Amsterdam. I have replicated many of the textures of the original art piece in the print and I’m very happy with the blend of the painterly and graphic in the print. The phrase “raise the level” encompasses various concepts including raising our level of effort toward diplomacy over conflict, raising awareness about the impacts of burning fossil fuels and the rising sea levels caused by global warming, and the need for immediate action to protect the Earth.”
