Afromuses Couple Tea Towels x Chris Ofili | Man

The humble tea towel is one of Third Drawer Down's signature artist products. A practical and fun way to dry the dishes, it can also be stretched onto a canvas at your local framer and double up as an affordable artwork for your home, as pictured here, in fact we insist you have these two framed-it's a must!?

The Chris Ofili Afromuses Couple tea towels were produced for Night and Day (2014), an exhibition at the New Museum in New York. Afromuses in its entirety presents over 181 watercolors created by Ofili between 1995-2005. These figures emerge from Ofili's personal references and impressions of memory, day-to-day life and art history.

The watercolors were digitally printed onto the tea towels preserving the vibrancy of the original colours. With a customised border, these tea towels are intended as a set but are sold individually.
