Gary Simmons: "Public Enemy" T-Shirt

Make a statement with the Gary Simmons: “Public Enemy” T-Shirt—a sleek black tee featuring bold white embroidery of the word ENEMY. The classic black-and-white design delivers sophistication while channeling the conceptual force of Gary Simmons’s landmark retrospective, Public Enemy. Simmons’s exhibition spans three decades and nearly seventy works, exploring race, memory, and popular culture through bold, thought-provoking visuals. From his iconic erasure drawings to large-scale installations that engage with hip-hop, cinema, and racial stereotypes, Simmons has built a visual language that confronts what society often tries to forget. This shirt translates that language into wearable art, inviting you to carry the conversation beyond the gallery walls.

The embroidery is more than typography—it’s a direct nod to Simmons’s ability to transform everyday symbols into cultural commentary. Just as Public Enemy asked viewers to reckon with history and visibility, this design is meant to spark dialogue wherever you go. Whether worn to an art opening, a gallery stroll, or on the street, it becomes both a fashion statement and a piece of living commentary. Crafted with care, the shirt features a seamless, non-top-stitch neck, taped neck and shoulders, and double-needle sleeves and hem, balancing durability with clean lines. Proudly inspired by the groundbreaking exhibition and hand-assembled with precision, it’s as much about craft as it is about message.

Gary Simmons’s Public Enemy was never just an exhibition—it was a cultural reckoning. Now, with the Public Enemy T-Shirt, you can bring that energy into everyday life. Wear your art, declare your stance, and let this piece remind the world that design is never just decoration—it’s dialogue.
