Answer
Stenciling, Shepard Fairey's signature technique, involves meticulously cutting stencils and layering multiple colors of paint to create bold, graphic images. Similar to screen printing, but using hand-crafted stencils instead of silk screens, this method allows for precise control over the ink's placement, resulting in striking visual compositions that often carry a message of social or political commentary.
