Aesthetically Terrifying T-Shirt

A response. A reclamation. A statement.

The Aesthetically Terrifying T-Shirt transforms a pointed critique into something meant to be seen, worn, and reconsidered.

The phrase responds to comments made by Erin Scavino, Director of the U.S. Department of State’s Art in Embassies program, in connection with the removal of Kehinde Wiley’s Young Artists After Siamesas 1960 from the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo.

Rather than shy away from the words, Kehinde Wiley reclaims them.

AESTHETICALLY TERRIFYING appears across the back of a black T-shirt in an intricate floral graphic, turning the phrase into a celebration of artistic freedom, visibility, beauty, and power. A subtle KW logo appears on the front.
