Description

Introducing a pair of medium weight fleece sweatpants that proudly display Basquiat's renowned artwork, "Pez Dispenser." The printed image of the dinosaur can be found on the knee of the front right leg, while a woven tag featuring Basquiat's handwritten text from his notebooks is located at the bottom of the right leg. To add a touch of style, the sweatpants are ribbed at the cuff and hem.

Let's explore the significance of the artwork: Basquiat's work often draws inspiration from popular culture and his own childhood memories. In this particular image, a dinosaur is adorned with Basquiat's signature crown symbol, adding his unique touch to the artwork. The title, "Pez Dispenser," refers to the candy company Pez, known for their dispensers shaped like popular culture characters.

By wearing these sweatpants, you not only enjoy the comfort and quality of a well-crafted garment but also carry a piece of Basquiat's artistic genius with you. The printed image of the "Pez Dispenser" dinosaur on the knee creates a visually captivating design.

Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the best known artists of his generation and is widely considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His career in art spanned the late 1970s through the 1980s until his death in 1988, at the age of 27. Basquiat works are edgy and raw, and through a bold sense of color and composition, he maintains a fine balance between seemingly contradictory forces such as control and spontaneity, menace and wit, urban imagery and primitivism. The Basquiat brand embodies the values and aspirations of young, international urban culture.
The conjunction of various media is an integral element of Basquiat's art. His paintings are typically covered with text and codes of all kinds: words, letters, numerals, pictograms, logos, map symbols, diagrams and more, and featured multi-panel paintings and individual canvases with exposed stretcher bars, the surface dense with writing, collage and imagery.
