Tender Forever 1986 is a silkscreen print by the artist collective Faile. Faile is a Brooklyn-based collaboration between two artists, Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller. They started working together in the late 1990s and are known for their contemporary street art, which combines graphic design, painting, and printmaking techniques. Their work often incorporates elements of popular culture, religious iconography, and vintage advertisements. The Tender Forever 1986 silkscreen print is an example of Faile's unique style, using a combination of vibrant colors and intricate patterns to create a visually engaging piece. The image contains multiple layers, featuring fragmented images and texts that evoke a sense of nostalgia like Native Americans, urban decay corporate brand logos, and the passage of time. Faile's works, including Tender Forever 1986, have been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, and their street art can be found on walls and buildings in major cities like New York, London, and Berlin. Collectors and fans of contemporary art appreciate Faile's innovative approach and their ability to blur the lines between high art and street culture.
