Portrait of Issa Diatta II Beach Towel
$100.00
Step into a world where history meets modernity with our exclusive beach towel featuring the dynamic background of Kehinde Wiley's Portrait of Issa Diatta II, 2021. This towel is a perfect blend of art, culture, and luxury, making it a must-have accessory for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
In this painting, Kehinde Wiley captures Issa Diatta in a posture reminiscent of an 18th-century general overlooking a successful maneuver on the battlefield. With his chin held high and a sheathed sword in his left hand, Diatta exudes a timeless strength and confidence. However, his modern attire—a deep blue sweatshirt, a low-hanging gold chain, and purple and black wristbands—creates a striking contrast, making him a man out of time.
The background features the intricate details of House of Hackney's non-conformist take on a traditional floral design, “Artemis.” Inspired by William Morris's work and Diana Vreeland's iconic 'Garden in Hell' room, this painterly print depicts Victorian-inspired wildflowers, propelling the visual and cultural juxtapositions within Wiley's framework.
