"Rise Above" by Shepard Fairey X Dubai Design District
In 2021, SAN Projects produced two large-scale murals by Shepard Fairey between buildings 10 and 11 in Dubai Design District. The facing artworks accompanied Future Mosaic, the artist’s solo exhibition at Opera Gallery in Dubai.
Rise Above Peace Fingers and Rise Above Dove draw on motifs from the exhibition to express themes of peace, justice, tolerance and coexistence. Fairey’s recognisable visual language brings these ideas into a public setting.
The murals were completed in four days using spray paint and acrylic paint.
