In the screen print Radical Peace, Shepard Fairey asserts that peace, far from being passive, is a radical and powerful act — the slogan “violence is weak” overturns the conventional notion that strength lies in aggression. The hand gesture forming the “V” for victory/peace suggests that unity and diplomacy surpass violence as a method of conflict resolution. Finally, the color palette — bright red for “Radical” against a calmer background — emphasizes the constructive tension between the activist message and the sense of calm that OBEY seeks to convey.
