This limited-edition, all over print, unisex washed-silk pajama set is the perfect lounge wear for adding art, color and meaning in your life.  With imagery pulled directly from four of Kehinde Wiley's original paintings, these pajamas are a kaleidoscope of pattern, symbolism and humanity. The design is a unique tapestry of paintings reflecting Wiley's travels to Brazil, Cameroon, Israel and Mali and features vibrant portrayals of contemporary Black and brown men in cross-cultural nationalistic poses that reimagine the art-historical grand narrative in portraiture.  Each figure is surrounded by unique floral designs rich with significant iconology from each location.  The paintings chosen by Wiley for this design are as follows:  1)  Marechal Floriano Peixoto II (2009); 2) Benediter Brkou (2011); 3) Besler's Florilegium, Shoe Salesman (2012); and 4) Dogon Couple II (2013).

This limited edition silk robe features Kehinde Wiley’s 2015 painting Simeon the God Receiver, reimagined from the icon that is based on the story of Saint Simeon. According to tradition, he died at the great age of 360 after receiving the infant Christ in the Temple of Jerusalem. Wiley’s model, Eric Murphy, is covered in tattoos from head to toe – including a rosary, a portrait of his son, and the Rolling Stones magazine logo on his stomach. Murphy’s overt appearance immediately renders the thematic injustices of omission within the historical practice of western portraiture to its viewer. In his sacred stance, Murphy is accompanied by a flat, fluorescent botanical background, with plant tendrils entwining around his legs. 100% silk with a satin finish 19mm. Sizes: Small, Medium, Large Net proceeds from your purchase support the artist in residence program Black Rock Sénégal, founded by Wiley in 2019.  ...
