Following up on the “Che” print released back in August, Ernesto Yerena continues his Latin-American Political figure collection with another Cuban Revolutionary. Fidel Castro is a man who evokes very contradictory sentiments, especially in the US where he is seen as everything from a hero to pure evil. His contribution to Latin American culture cannot be questioned, and it is in this light that Yerena is highlighting the Cuban leader. While his time working for Shepard Fairey and his affiliation with Studio Number One is very evident, Yerena demonstrates great technique. Honestly with what we’ve been seeing coming out of Obey as of late, this is better that his mentor’s own work. The “Fidel” print is available in two colorways, red and green, with each running as an edition of 50. Available at a random time today here.
Watch a short video-teaser on the making of the Fidel Print after the jump.
