*APC ART is pleased to present “Chaos Mandala II” by legendary contemporary artist Shepard Fairey.*

*Widely regarded as one of the most influential and important street artists of the modern era, Shepard Fairey has spent decades shaping contemporary visual culture through his unmistakable blend of graphic design, punk aesthetics, political commentary, propaganda-inspired imagery, and fine art printmaking.*

*From his iconic “Andre the Giant Has a Posse” campaign and internationally recognized OBEY series to the historic Obama “Hope” poster, Fairey’s work has become permanently embedded within the global contemporary art canon.*

*Collectors worldwide continue to aggressively pursue Fairey’s hand pulled screenprints due to their historical importance, instantly recognizable visual language, and exceptional technical execution.*

*“Chaos Mandala II” serves as the direct sequel and companion piece to Fairey’s instantly sold out “Chaos Mandala” release — further exploring the artist’s ongoing fascination with the tension between chaos and harmony.*

*The composition merges intricate mandala geometry with layered collage aesthetics inspired by the visual chaos of urban environments, torn street posters, weathered graffiti walls, political signage, and accumulated city textures.*

*The work simultaneously feels meditative and explosive — balancing order and disorder, harmony and destruction, permanence and impermanence.*

*At the center of the composition sits an extraordinarily detailed mandala radiating outward through layers of floral motifs, geometric forms, and symbolic patterning rendered in Fairey’s unmistakable visual language.*

*The striking palette of blues, creams, reds, blacks, and metallic gold accents creates a visually commanding composition that immediately captures attention while still retaining a deeply calming and meditative quality.*

*Importantly, the distressed textures, layered surfaces, drips, and collage effects intentionally replicate the natural accumulation and decay of posters and graffiti found throughout urban landscapes — a visual language Fairey has spent decades refining.*

*As Shepard himself explained regarding this release, the work explores the paradox of striving for harmony while simultaneously accepting impermanence and destruction as unavoidable realities.*

*Fairey specifically references the Buddhist ritual of creating and destroying intricate sand mandalas — a symbolic meditation on beauty, impermanence, and the cyclical nature of existence.*

*The artist also described this release as a “complementary version” to the original “Chaos Mandala,” making the two works especially desirable as a pair for serious OBEY and Shepard Fairey collectors.*

*“Chaos Mandala II” is a hand pulled silkscreen print on 80lb cream Speckletone paper.*

*The work is hand signed, dated and numbered from the edition by Shepard Fairey in graphite pencil.*

*Published by the artist in 2025.*

*The work measures approximately 24” x 18”.*

*With an edition size of only 550 works and an original release price of only $60, the edition sold out immediately upon release and has become increasingly difficult to acquire on the secondary market.*

*Fairey’s strongest editions continue to perform exceptionally well within the secondary market as institutional recognition and global demand for historically important street art continues to accelerate.*

*An absolutely iconic Shepard Fairey composition blending philosophy, spirituality, street aesthetics, symbolism, and masterful printmaking into one visually striking contemporary image.*

*The work is in hand and will ship immediately from the USA.*

*We are pleased to offer archival museum framing options for collectors seeking a turnkey ready-to-hang presentation.*

*Proudly offered by APC ART.*
