Gorilla Alebrije T-Shirt, Mexican Folk Art Primate Tee

A fierce gorilla becomes a piece of contemporary wearable art in this intensely colored alebrije-inspired graphic T-shirt.

The front-facing primate is built from saturated turquoise, cobalt, orange, red and gold ornamentation, combining the visual energy of Mexican folk-art creatures with a sharper, more modern illustrative style. Powerful eyes, an open mouth and intricate decorative patterning give the design a dramatic presence without looking like a conventional wildlife or souvenir shirt.


A strong choice for people drawn to:
Contemporary folk art
Alebrije-inspired imagery
Unusual animal artwork
Gorilla and primate art
Mexican folk-art influences
Surreal and visionary illustration
Bold maximalist color
Statement graphic shirts
Outsider and oddball art
Whimsical wearable art

The design has been created to read strongly from a distance while revealing extensive pattern, texture and dimensional detail up close.

Printed on a Gildan Heavy Cotton 5000 shirt for a classic everyday fit.
