The latest result of the placing-classic-paintings-next-to-contemporary-touchpoints trend sees hip-hop and R&B lyrics emblazoned over masterpieces of the fine art world. That means Yeezy pairs with Cézanne and Beyoncé meets Magritte, while Renoir gets even more poetic thanks to Frank Ocean.
The post-post-modern creations are the result of Philippines-based Gisella Velasco and Toni Potenciano and their inspired Fly Art blog. The pair pair-up well-known lyrics and quotes with artwork after spending some time digging around for a piece that best suits the line. Joining forces with the online Rad.co casual apparel site, the two have now found themselves founding a line of premium jersey sweats, wifebeaters and classic cut tees adorned with their visual remixes.
It may have well-documented precursors, like Bedoni's Swoosh Art or the adventures of Jay Z and Beyoncé in the Carter Family Portraits, but Velasco and Potenciano make no bones about being inspired by them. Browse the ratchet rococo lookbook above, or shop it at Rad.co.
