UNKNOWN GENIUS

UNKNOWN GENIUS explores what happens when imagery separated by generations and cultural worlds is brought into the same visual language.

Vincent van Gogh represents the mythology of the artist: obsession, isolation, expression and the complicated relationship between recognition and genius.

Wu-Tang represents another kind of cultural force. Born from New York hip-hop, its iconography travelled far beyond music and became part of a global visual language.

Rather than reproducing either world, Christopher Marie reinterprets these references through his own mark-making, typography and painting.

The garment becomes the canvas.

Painted predominantly in black, white and grey, the composition is interrupted by a single field of yellow. Hand-rendered lettering extends across both sleeves, turning the entire garment into one continuous artwork.

This is not a printed graphic.

Each mark, variation and imperfection belongs to the making of the piece.

Created by hand in Melbourne.
