Short-Sleeve Unisex T-Shirt | black ink Burned But Never Broken by MLFAASART

Fine art you can wear: Burned But Never Broken, from the painting Burning Girl, from the Dark Series by surrealist painter Michael Lawrence.

Burning Girl begins with something the artist found on the street: a weathered photograph of a young girl, so scratched and damaged that she looked as if she were on fire. Michael Lawrence built a painting around her. On either side stand a serene figure in deep blue, the Virgin of Guadalupe, and a Victorian doll in a flowing gown holding a rose, both with flames curling at their hems above green and blue waters full of fish. Two porcelain medallions, a human heart and the all-seeing Eternal Eye, are made with the same porcelain techniques Michael used for the figurines he created for Disney and Warner Bros. The painting is a meditation on how quickly childhood passes, and on fire as a force that purifies.

Burned but never broken: on a shirt, the painting about fleeting childhood becomes a statement of resilience.

The shirt:

• 100% ring-spun cotton, soft and comfortable (see color options for blends in sport grey and heather colors)
• Double-stitched neckline and sleeves for durability, with shoulder-to-shoulder taping
• Quarter-turned to avoid a crease down the center
• Printed on demand just for you, which reduces overproduction

Note: Due to the fabric properties, the White color may appear off-white rather than bright white. Dark color speckles are expected for the color Natural.

Wear it to a gallery, a show or anywhere you'd like a conversation to start. You'll be supporting independent art.
