Rock&Roll and Hip Hop are those two identities that you can’t separate from New York. The two are inseparable lovers who love each other and are animated by their contradictions where there will never be any question of making them divorce.
It is thus normal for Marc Ecko to couple these two cultures since he was born in NYC, this city of exhibitions representing the cleavage between two worlds; Hip Hop and Rock, all colored by street art, Warhol’s Pop Art, graffiti and Basquiat’s underground movement.
Marc Ecko was born in this cultural melting pot and offers us his graphic and musical education with his new Historical line.
He illustrates us a collection of ready-mades version rock with the point of Hip Hop which always made the universe of the brand.
No, Marc Ecko is not into vintage rock jeans! He does in the rock&roll baroque.
We find a Mona Lisa in a ready-made way crossed with a vanity that reminds us that everything is empty and will be reduced to nothing.
We can also rediscover The Creation of Adam evoking life with a hand of God affirming his message through graffiti.
And let’s not talk about a Napoleon caped as a graffiti artist pointing out the contradictory passions that made him the man we love to hate today.
Wearing this Historical line is not just wearing a banal t-shirt, it is wearing an exhibition at the crossroads of worlds, cultures, and divides.
Yes, art has indeed taken to the streets!
