Details
Life is a unisex grey crewneck designed by Étienne Martin for Based On Art presents a disturbing, powerful, and unforgettable artwork, firmly rooted in engaged contemporary art. The visual depicts a character reminiscent of Jesus, an iconic symbol of faith and sacrifice, portrayed with a bullet impact to the head — a direct and confronting image that leaves no viewer indifferent.
The aesthetic deliberately references the graphic codes of iconic magazines, drawing from editorial layouts, bold compositions, and the visual language of mass media. This contrast between the sacred and violence, religious symbolism and popular visual culture, creates a striking tension that challenges perception.
The artwork raises fundamental questions about faith, violence, martyrdom, shock imagery, and contemporary visual culture. It examines how powerful symbols are consumed, reproduced, and sometimes stripped of meaning through media repetition, forcing the viewer to confront discomfort and reflection.
Printed on a premium grey crewneck, the artwork gains clarity and gravity. The neutral tone enhances the seriousness of the subject while maintaining a modern, urban, and conceptual streetwear aesthetic. Designed as a unisex sweatshirt, it can be worn by both men and women, reinforcing the idea that artistic expression transcends gender.
This crewneck is not just clothing, it is wearable contemporary art, made for those who embrace bold visuals, intellectual depth, and cultural confrontation.
