TP AP Artist Test Proof Print 2006 Unsigned. Testing Out The Process From Shepard Faireys Then Workshop. Black Mono Print, Unsigned, No Markings. Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. TearsBending & Creasing throughout The Margins, Working Artist Copy. Crease Across Lower Right Facing Side. Shepard Fairey's "Chinese Soldier 2 TP Test Print" is a compelling piece that exemplifies the intersection of street art and political commentary, hallmarks of Fairey's work. As an iconic figure in pop and graffiti art, Fairey has long been recognized for his ability to provoke thought and stir public discourse through his art. This particular silkscreen print is a test proof from 2006, emanating from the artist's experimentation with printmaking techniques. Hand-pulled and comprising five colors on thin art paper, this limited edition artwork carries the signature visual style of Fairey's Obey series, which commands attention to the themes of propaganda, control, and societal obedience. The print, depicting a Chinese soldier with a flower protruding from the barrel of his rifle, challenges viewers to question the juxtaposition of military power with peace—a dichotomy often explored in anti-war art and literature. The raw and unrefined nature of this test print adds to its authenticity and makes it a unique collector's piece, especially considering it is a black mono print and is unsigned, with no markings. The lack of signature is particularly notable as it speaks to the essence of street art, where the message often takes precedence over the artist's identity. Measuring 18x24 inches, this print is sizable, allowing for an immersive viewing experience that draws the eye to the stark contrasts and the compelling imagery that has become synonymous with Fairey's work. Fairey's influence on street art extends beyond his visual work; his methods and approach have inspiremanyof artists to see the urban landscape as a canvas for commentary and change. His test prints, such as "Chinese Soldier 2," offer a glimpse into his process and an understanding of the experimentation behind his finished pieces. This artwork, while a test piece, stands alone in its powerful message and aesthetic, encapsulating the energy and defiance of street art culture.

Test Print
Graffiti art prints and street art prints are becoming increasingly popular among art collectors and enthusiasts alike. One popular topic in these art forms is "test print." Test prints are the initial prints produced by artists to test and refine their designs before creating the final prints. These prints often have unique qualities that make them stand out from the final prints. Test prints are typically created using a variety of techniques, including screen printing, letterpress printing, and linocut printing. These techniques allow artists to experiment with different colors, textures, and compositions to achieve their desired final result. Test prints often include a variety of design elements, including typography, illustrations, and patterns. One of the unique features of test prints is that they often have imperfections or variations that make each print unique. This is because artists use the test prints to experiment with different techniques and colors, and they may not be as precise as they would be when creating the final prints. This imperfection is part of the charm of test prints and adds to their value as unique pieces of art. Another interesting aspect of test prints is that they often have limited availability. Artists usually only create a few test prints before finalizing their design and creating the final prints. This limited availability makes test prints highly sought after among collectors and art enthusiasts. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, test prints can also be seen as a symbol of the artistic process. By showcasing the experimentation and refinement that goes into creating a final print, test prints provide a glimpse into the creative process of the artist. This can be especially interesting for those who are interested in the technical aspects of printmaking. Test prints are a fascinating topic in graffiti art prints and street art prints. They offer a unique glimpse into the artistic process and provide collectors and enthusiasts with a highly sought-after and valuable piece of art. Whether you are interested in the technical aspects of printmaking or simply enjoy the aesthetic appeal of graffiti and street art, test prints are a must-have addition to any collection.
