Rise Above Earth Justice: Fairey’s Red and Blue editions

Shepard Fairey’s Rise Above Earth Justice reached paper in two colourways through Migrate Art on February 19, 2026. Red and Blue each have a signed, numbered edition of 150, priced individually at £110 plus VAT for UK buyers. Both are three-colour screenprints on Somerset Velvet Buff, measuring 42.5 × 59.5 cm. Migrate’s listings were marked sold out at the October 7 check. The choice within this release is between one colourway and the two-print configuration, with the same production specification on either side.

A Shoreditch image gains a different audience

Fairey identifies the source as his 2024 Rise Above Earth Justice mural in Shoreditch, London. He describes the flower growing from scales of justice as an appeal to overcome environmental irresponsibility through individual and collective action. That explanation gives the printed image a specific origin and argument, rather than leaving its title to stand as a general environmental slogan. Artist’s release announcement.

The announcement describes the mural as seventeen metres high. Moving that image to a sheet under sixty centimetres tall changes how it can be encountered: a public work attached to a neighbourhood becomes a portable, editioned object. For a collection following Fairey’s imagery across settings, the relevant sequence is a 2024 mural followed by two 2026 paper editions. The print date records that second stage; it should not be backdated to the wall painting.

The charitable relationship also has a local connection. The mural stood near Refugee Community Kitchen’s Shoreditch kitchen, and the release directed a portion of proceeds to its work providing meals to displaced people in the UK and France. No amount or percentage per print was specified. The project therefore joins environmental imagery to a documented community beneficiary without providing a basis to calculate an individual buyer’s donation.

Two editions, one shared specification

The official Red listing and Blue listing each specify 150 impressions, signed and numbered by Fairey. Their size, Somerset paper and three-colour screenprinting process match. Choosing one colour therefore changes the colourway while retaining the documented format; neither has a stated edition-size advantage. Selecting both brings two versions of the mural-derived image into the collection, rather than adding a different medium or scale.

The two standard editions total 300 prints. That arithmetic describes the announced numbered runs, not every impression that may have been produced: proof quantities are unreported. Equally, a pair listing does not establish matched edition numbers. Anyone buying two impressions together should distinguish the fact of owning both colours from a seller’s additional claim that their numbers match.

What the £220 pair listing establishes

Migrate’s edition collection lists the pair at £220 and each single at £110. In those captured advertised prices, the pair equals the sum of its components; there is no listed bundle saving. The contemporaneous announcement confirms that both individual and paired purchases were offered at release, but does not separately establish the launch-time bundle price. The collection listing’s arithmetic should not be expanded into a claim about historical checkout totals, shipping or tax.

Two small discrepancies deserve attention when documenting an impression. The sale announcement specifies February 19, whereas the artist’s archive entries carry February 25. Those are different milestones. The accompanying inch dimensions also conflict with the metric figures; Migrate corroborates 42.5 × 59.5 cm. Keeping the release date and confirmed sheet size with the exact colourway preserves the identity of either print without manufacturing a hierarchy between them.
