This limited edition, hand-pulled 2-color serigraph, reveals the intricate relationship between humanity and our environment. Imprinted on 100% cotton Coventry Rag paper, the choice of material underpins Fairey’s commitment to sustainable artistry. The dimensionality of the piece, 30 x 41 inches, lends itself to an immersive viewing experience, accentuated further by its hand-deckled edges, which bring a tactile, organic touch, reminiscent of the raw edges of street posters. In partnering with the PangeaSeed Foundation to release this work for Earth Month, Fairey encapsulates the pressing environmental concerns of the modern era. Central to the piece is the depiction of an endangered North Atlantic right whale that exudes a mandala with the earth cradled within. This mandala, rooted in various cultural traditions, signifies harmony, unity, and the interconnectivity of the planet's ecosystems. The floral ornaments within it blossom as symbols of flourishing harmony, but the contrasting inclusion of flames starkly reminds viewers of the ever-looming threat of global warming. The text - "Protect the Blue Planet" and "One Ocean-One People" - along with the chosen blue palette, draws attention to the inextricable bond between thriving oceans and a sustainable world. As a renowned figure in the street art community, Fairey's work has always pushed boundaries, and with "Protect The Blue Planet", he once again blurs the lines between artistic expression, activism, and social responsibility, reminding the world of its role in safeguarding the planet. "To celebrate Earth Month, in collaboration with PangeaSeed Foundation, I’m pleased to release, “Protect The Blue Planet” which features an endangered North Atlantic right whale emanating a mandala with the earth as its focal point. In several cultures, the mandala represents harmony, unity, and wholeness, all of which are important concepts when considering the interconnected nature of the planet’s ecosystems, people, and species. The mandala features floral ornaments symbolizing harmony in bloom, but also flames as a reminder of the perils of global warming. The “Protect the Blue Planet” and “One Ocean-One People” text within the artwork and the blue color palette serve to emphasize the crucial connection between healthy oceans and a healthy planet." – Shepard

Environmentalism as a topic in graffiti street pop art has grown in popularity in recent years as the global community becomes more aware of the importance of protecting the environment. Artists are using graffiti and street art as a means to communicate powerful messages related to environmentalism and climate change, often incorporating various elements, techniques, and symbols to convey their messages. Some of these elements include: Awareness and advocacy: Street artists use graffiti to raise awareness about various environmental issues such as climate change, deforestation, pollution, and species extinction. By creating striking visuals, they aim to engage the public and inspire a sense of urgency to take action. Nature-inspired imagery: Many artists use nature-inspired imagery, including animals, plants, and landscapes, to emphasize the beauty and fragility of the environment. These images can be both realistic or stylized, depending on the artist's intent and style. Eco-friendly materials: Some artists are committed to using eco-friendly materials to create their art, such as repurposed or recycled materials, water-based paint, or natural pigments. This not only reduces the environmental impact of their work but also serves as an example to promote sustainable practices in the art world. Murals and installations: Many environmentally-themed street art pieces take the form of large-scale murals or installations, which can transform urban spaces and make a more significant impact on the public. These artworks often address specific environmental issues relevant to the local community or the region. Collaborations: Street artists sometimes collaborate with environmental organizations, NGOs, or local communities to create artwork that supports their causes. These partnerships can result in powerful messages that resonate with a broader audience and generate more awareness about specific environmental issues. Uplifting messages: While some graffiti street pop art pieces highlight the negative aspects of environmental issues, others aim to inspire hope and positive change. Artists create uplifting messages and images that emphasize the power of individual and collective action in protecting the environment and preserving the planet for future generations. Provocative and controversial themes: Street art has long been known for its provocative nature, and environmental-themed pieces are no exception. Artists may use controversial imagery or bold statements to spark discussions and debates about environmental issues, challenging societal norms and encouraging people to question their actions and their impact on the environment. Global impact: The rise of social media has allowed street artists to share their environmentally-themed works with a global audience. This exposure helps create a sense of global unity and shared responsibility for addressing environmental issues, transcending geographical boundaries. Education and inspiration: Many artists aim to educate the public on environmental issues through their artwork, using easily digestible visual representations or creative interpretations of complex topics. This approach can inspire viewers to learn more about the subject matter and take action in their own lives.
