As part of a group exhibition called “In those jeans” by Safia El Dabi, ten artists and collectives were each invited to alter the same pair of classic high-waisted jeans in their own way.
Reframing the idea of putting your team on your back, London-based artist Duval Timothy decided to turn the classic high waisted jeans into a hand painted Arsenal football kit.
In his words, “I wanted to highlight abstract modernist aesthetics that exist within uniforms, sports and branding. I hoped to keep the jeans in harmony with the original kit whilst deliberately using cheap paint that will crack over time and give the jeans a heavy, rigid property that contradicts what is considered to be the primary function of a football kit.”
