Sympathetic Magic: Veils

The Sympathetic Magic: Veils clothing collection by OBEYEBO delves into the layers of perception and the hidden forces that shape our reality. Inspired by the striking linoleum print created in Los Angeles in 1987, this collection captures the enigmatic and obscured elements of life that often go unnoticed. The artwork, measuring 12’ x 12’, is the third in a series of "Sympathetic Magic" pieces, each exploring different dimensions of power, ritual, and influence.

Sympathetic Magic: Veils is a compelling and abstract composition that uses deep contrasts and subtle gradations to convey a sense of mystery and concealment. The piece is dominated by dark, shadowy forms, overlaid with streaks of light that hint at underlying shapes and patterns. The interplay of colors—deep blues, rich purples, and soft yellows—creates a sense of depth and hidden layers, as if the viewer is peering through a series of veils to glimpse the truths beneath.

The title, Sympathetic Magic: Veils, suggests an exploration of how much of reality is hidden from view, shrouded by layers of perception, memory, and emotion. The artwork invites viewers to consider what lies beneath the surface of our daily experiences, and how much of what we see is influenced by unseen forces. The shadowy forms and faint outlines evoke a sense of things half-seen, as though the truth is just out of reach, hidden behind a veil.

When you wear the Sympathetic Magic: Veils collection by OBEYEBO, you’re not just wearing clothing—you’re embracing the mysterious, often hidden forces that shape our world. This collection allows you to carry with you the subtle energy and abstract storytelling of Slagter’s print, turning your wardrobe into a canvas of mystery, perception, and depth.

Whether you’re drawn to the subtle designs, the deep color palette, or the abstract themes, this collection ensures that your clothing is more than just fabric—it’s a reflection of the veiled forces that shape our reality.
