Shepard Fairey — Rose Soldier AP
Shepard Fairey

Rose Soldier AP

2006

This screenprint depicts a silhouetted figure in military attire holding aloft a rose, set against a dramatic radiating background of red and cream. The composition merges symbolic imagery of peace and resistance through the juxtaposition of a soldier and flower. The work employs bold graphic design principles with high contrast and halftone techniques characteristic of political poster art. Text reading OBEY appears at the base, adding a layer of social commentary. The piece exemplifies early 2000s street art aesthetics translated into fine art printmaking.
