"This piece is based on a painting I did for my 'Earth Crisis' show in Paris. The entire body of work for that show used these shades of blue/turquoise as a connection to the air and water that is essential to sustaining life on planet Earth. This piece is more specifically about the idea that we need to see what is right in front of us, that we are dependent on nature and I used the blooming flower as a symbol of both beauty and growth. If we keep ruining the air and water, things won't grow, not to mention we'll all get sick." - Shepard FaireyThe Flint Eye Alert Globe print is an 18 x 24 inch 4 color screen print with an edition of 450. This RUN comes signed and numbered by Shepard Fairey and includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity from 1xRUN.
