Doc Gauguin

The Doc Gauguin clothing collection by OBEYEBO emerges from a visual thought experiment that fuses the sultry mystique of post-impressionist master Paul Gauguin with the rugged individualism of a frontier doctor. Painted in 1974 during Philip Slagter's self-directed artistic journey, this portrait transforms Gauguin into a contemplative cowboy, peering over the ocean's horizon in garments embroidered with Polynesian-like motifs. His intense gaze, shadowed by a wide-brimmed hat, bridges two mythic landscapes—Tahiti and the Wild West—melding the exotic with the stoic in a single expression.

The Doc Gauguin collection draws on this hybrid identity to create garments that are both earthy and refined. Expect sunset-inspired palettes, embroidered botanical patterns reminiscent of island flora, and silhouettes that blend cowboy grit with island ease. Ideal for those who see travel as a form of self-reinvention, this collection suits anyone straddling cultures, coastlines, and time zones. The Doc Gauguin line is perfect for romantic nomads and creative wanderers who believe that identity, like style, is best painted in bold strokes.
