Mike Kelley/Supreme
American artist Mike Kelley was born in Wayne, MI in 1954. Active in Detroit’s upstart punk scene, Kelley moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1970s. On the West Coast, he developed an interdisciplinary practice spanning drawing and painting, performance, video, installation, assemblage and sound. Incorporating found objects and folk traditions, Kelley interrogated American popular culture and the rituals of youth. He died in 2012 at the age of 57, and is considered one of the most influential artists of his generation.
This fall, Supreme has worked on a collection featuring images from Kelley’s iconic artworks, 'More Love Hours Than Can Ever Be Repaid and The Wages of Sin', 'Ahh…Youth!,' and the 'Reconstructed History' series. The collection consists of a Work Jacket, Rayon Shirt, Work Shirt, two Hooded Sweatshirts, Crewneck Sweatshirt, three T-Shirts and set of eight
Skateboards.
Available in-store NY, Brooklyn, LA, London, Paris and online September 6th.
Available in Japan on September 8th.

MIKE KELLEY FOR SUPREME 18FW
美國藝術家 Mike Kelley 於 1954 年出生在密西根州韋恩市，在 1970 年代中期移居洛杉磯之前，他曾是底特律朋克文化運動早期的活躍份子。在西岸，Kelley 慢慢發展成為一個跨領域的藝術家，無論是繪畫、表演、影像、裝置還是聲效，他均有涉獵。而在創作中，Kelley 總善於將自然藝術品與民俗傳統結合，從何向美國流行文化和青年習性發問。Mike Kelley 毫無疑問是當代最具影響力的藝術家之一，但他卻在 2012 年自殺離世，終年 57 歲。
這個秋冬，Supreme 便通過一個別注系列來向這位偉大的藝術家致敬。這個系列設計上均提取了 Mike Kelley 最具代表性的作品，如《More Love Hours Than Can Ever Be Repaid》、《The Wages of Sin》、《Ahh…Youth!》及《Reconstructed History》系列，並呈現於工裝夾克、絲質襯衫、工裝襯衫、連帽衫、圓領衛衣以及 T-Shirt 等眾多單品之上，同時還有八塊滑板一同推出。
