About the Item
Shepard Fairey's "Mayday" - A Narrative of Distress and Hope
Step into the vibrant world of contemporary art with Shepard Fairey's evocative masterpiece, "Mayday." Created in 2010, this exceptional art print transcends time, resonating with an energy that ignites both the visual senses and the depths of thought.
Measuring at 7.5 x 10 inches, "Mayday" is a testament to Fairey's ability to pack a profound narrative within a compact canvas. As you gaze upon the artwork, you're immediately drawn into a dialogue that encompasses social commentary, aesthetic brilliance, and artistic depth.
This limited edition print holds the distinction of being one of only 1000 ever produced, each one a unique revelation of Fairey's creative prowess. With the artist's signature gracing each piece, "Mayday" becomes a personal connection to Fairey's vision, his dedication to authenticity, and his commitment to the craft.
In Fairey’s mind, the persistence of difficulties in the political, environmental, economic, and cultural arenas points to the definition of Mayday as a distress signal: “By now we thought we would be in a post-Bush utopia, but we’re still having to call attention to these problems.” Like any mayday call, however, the sounding of the alarm also brings hope for help on the way. “If we stay silent, there’s no hope,” Fairey muses. “But if we make noise, if we put our ideas out there, then maybe we can make a change like the people in the portraits have done.”
What sets "Mayday" apart is not just the visual spectacle it offers, but the emotions it stirs within. The imagery unfolds like a visual poem, inviting viewers to interpret the layers of meaning embedded within its design. Fairey's deft manipulation of color, texture, and symbolism creates an artwork that not only captivates the eye but also sparks contemplation.
Preserved in mint condition, this print has been carefully stored flat, untouched by the passage of time. Its pristine state is a testament to the reverence it has received, awaiting the perfect owner who will continue its artistic journey. You may notice specks within the paper that is a characteristic of the speckletone paper it is printed on.
As you welcome "Mayday" into your collection, you embrace a piece of art that embodies the essence of Shepard Fairey's vision. It's not merely an acquisition; it's a gateway to contemplation, a source of inspiration, and a testament to the power of creativity to transcend boundaries.
Experience the resonance of Shepard Fairey's "Mayday" — a fusion of artistic brilliance, social commentary, and aesthetic allure that will forever grace your space with its magnetic presence.

Intended for publication by Amiel, New York. Sheehan 96-108. The Mother of Us All, is an opera which imaginatively chronicles the story of Susan B.
