About the artwork
Against a background of fine, colorful lines mixed with flowers, a face stands out in this silkscreen.

It combines emblematic elements from both parties: the iconic face of André, Shepard Fairey's signature, and the linear, organic motifs characteristic of Kai & Sunny.

About the artist
Kai & Sunny (born 1975 and 1977) are a duo of English artists. Both graduated in art and design from Epsom School of Art (UK), they work with color and line. Shepard Fairey, aka Obey (b. 1970), is an American urban artist. A 1992 graduate of the Rhodes Island School of Design, he is a silkscreen artist, muralist and illustrator. Kai & Sunny and Shepard Fairey have collaborated on several occasions, first in 2013, then in 2017, resulting in a total of four screenprints, each produced in 200 copies. These works take the form of a hypnotic flower, with the starry figure of André at the center, characteristic of Shepard Fairey's work. The first collaboration in 2013 resulted in more sober, silver and gold colors, while the 2017 collaboration revealed Kai and Sunny's colorful work with a red and a yellow version of a silkscreen this time square.
“We've collaborated several times over the years and I'm always excited by how our different styles combine to create something unique. This "Wild Obey" print might be my favorite of our print collaborations. The way the fine lines and floral elements blend with the bold icon's face creates an elegant sense of movement and ethereal depth.”
