Shepard Fairey - War By Numbers - 2024. SOLD OUT
In the War By Numbers image, a little girl cradles a grenade with a rose as bombers fly overhead. Her posture is deliberately innocent, appearing to have her eyes closed, with her lips nearly kissing the weaponry in her hands, as if a doll. The sense of danger is pervasive, with her fingers positioned on the trigger. The image asks the question, “How did war become so commonplace and banal that it seems fitting in a paint-by-numbers style image?” A portion of proceeds from this print will benefit the work Doctors Without Borders provides in wartorn regions globally.
