About this product

BELLA CANVAS 100% COTTON T SHIRTS. SCREEN PRINTED IN OAKLAND. CHOOSE SIZE FROM DROP DOWN MENU Rex is a living American artist and illustrator closely associated with homosexual fetish art of 1970s and 1980s New York and San Francisco. He avoids photographs and does not discuss his personal life. His drawings influenced gay culture though graphics made for famous nightclubs including the Mineshaft and his influence on artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe. Much censored, he has remained a shadowy figure saying that his drawings “defined who I became” and that there are “no other ‘truths’ out there”. He is known for his laborious monochrome ink dot technique and his very explicit depictions of excesses in the SM and fetish scene. He’s re-printed three black T-shirts with the posters he once made for the legendary New York bar The Mineshaft.
