Curatorial note

*APC ART is proud to present **Frequency**, an exceptional collaborative edition by two of the most respected voices in contemporary urban art—**Shepard Fairey** and the internationally acclaimed Portuguese artist **Add Fuel**. Published on the occasion of Shepard Fairey's landmark **Frequency** exhibition in 2025, this remarkable print seamlessly unites two instantly recognizable visual languages into a single, beautifully executed composition. Blending Fairey's bold political iconography with Add Fuel's intricate reinterpretations of traditional Portuguese azulejo tile work, **Frequency** stands as one of the strongest collaborative releases of either artist's career.* *Executed as a hand-pulled silkscreen print in vibrant colors on **cream Speckletone fine art paper**, the work measures **18 × 24 inches (45.7 × 61 cm)** and has been hand signed, dated and numbered by both Shepard Fairey and Add Fuel from the edition of only **500**. This particular example is **edition 420/500**. Produced by **Obey Giant Publishing** in 2025, the print exhibits the exceptional craftsmanship, rich ink saturation and meticulous registration that have become hallmarks of Fairey's most desirable editions.* *Visually, **Frequency** is absolutely stunning. Add Fuel's exquisitely rendered cobalt blue and white tile motifs immediately evoke centuries of Portuguese ceramic tradition, while Shepard Fairey's unmistakable Obey aesthetic tears dramatically across the surface, revealing bold crimson reds, geometric forms and his iconic star insignia beneath. The illusion of layered paper, fractured imagery and architectural pattern creates extraordinary depth, while simultaneously exploring the intersection between heritage and modernity, permanence and disruption. The balance between elegance and rebellion makes this one of the most visually compelling collaborative prints either artist has produced.* *The collaboration itself is particularly significant. Add Fuel has become internationally celebrated for transforming historic Portuguese ceramic traditions into contemporary visual language, creating monumental public murals and highly sought-after editions that bridge classical craftsmanship with urban culture. Shepard Fairey, whose work has helped define contemporary street art for more than three decades, recognized a natural creative dialogue between their practices. Rather than competing visually, the two artists amplify one another, resulting in a composition that feels entirely cohesive while remaining unmistakably representative of both artistic voices.* *Created for the **Frequency** exhibition, this edition perfectly reflects the exhibition's exploration of rhythm, repetition, pattern and visual communication. The layered symbolism, architectural references and striking graphic composition embody the sophisticated direction of Fairey's recent practice while celebrating Add Fuel's extraordinary ability to reinterpret historical ornament through a contemporary lens. It is a work that rewards repeated viewing, revealing new details and relationships throughout the composition.* *With demand for Shepard Fairey's most important collaborations continuing to grow—and Add Fuel firmly establishing himself as one of Europe's most important contemporary urban artists—**Frequency** represents an outstanding opportunity for collectors seeking museum-quality editions with exceptional crossover appeal. Works that successfully unite two internationally recognized artists in such a harmonious and thoughtfully executed composition are increasingly uncommon and continue to enjoy broad collector interest worldwide.* *At APC ART, we believe **Frequency** is one of the standout collaborative editions released in recent years. It is intellectually engaging, visually breathtaking and exceptionally well executed—a museum-quality print that beautifully celebrates the meeting of two iconic artistic languages. Whether acquired for an established collection of contemporary editions or as a centerpiece within a modern interior, this is a work that commands attention while remaining timeless in its design and significance.* *As with all works offered by APC ART, we are pleased to provide professional museum-quality archival framing consultations, installation guidance and comprehensive collection advisory services.* *Please feel free to browse our selection of over 1,100 works from more than 200 of the world's most influential contemporary artists.* *APC ART offers professional art advisory services backed by decades of experience within the international contemporary art market.
