The image was first developed for Strummerville, the charity established in 2003 by Strummer's widow Lucinda Tait to honor Strummer's belief that music can inspire and empower; Fairey produced the design at Tait's request and released a paper edition of 450 on cream Speckle Tone paper in 2014. The present canvas is the artist's second iteration of the composition, executed in 2015 as a mixed media work — stencilled, silkscreened and collaged on canvas — distinct from the paper edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Clash were, by Fairey's own account, his all-time favourite band, and Joe Strummer one of his enduring personal heroes \"for his music, lyrics, wit, compassion for the underdog and stance against injustice.\" \u003ci\u003eStrummerville, Version 2\u003c\/i\u003e sits among the most explicitly elegiac works in Fairey's wider portrait series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePROVENANCE:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the artist's studio\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joopiter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48502073098489,"sku":"JP0526333","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/2783\/5385\/files\/JP0526333_1.jpg?v=1784038885","url":"https:\/\/shop.joopiter.com\/en-kr\/products\/strummerville-version-2","provider":"Joopiter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
