Hand-painted shirts by Sebastian Grant

Phi Tre. paintings you can wear.

A little wilderness, a little outer space. Jungle and Galaxy shirts, painted by hand, right down to the smallest leaf and the last star.

Leaves, colour & cotton

Jungle.

Green leaves, branching trees and bright, rounded forms fill the white fabric. From stencil to fine brushwork, the photos follow the painting as it takes shape.

Galaxy.

Gold, white and blue drift across black shirts. Nebulae wrap around the fabric, with tiny stars added at the tip of a brush.

From the painting sessions

In the studio.

Shirts stretched out on the table, open pots of paint, brushes and stencils. A look at the hands and the space behind Phi Tre.
