Adapted specifically for this t-shirt, Wiley’s paintingA Portrait of a Young Gentleman (2021) was created as a contemporary response to Thomas Gainsborough's iconicBlue Boyportrait (1770). His painting reimagines Gainsborough's young white subject as a Black, Senegalese surfer and replaces the original moody wooded landscape with a vibrant floral backdrop which decorates the entire surface of the shirt.
