The Djinni clothing collection by OBEYEBO is a vibrant and imaginative exploration of myth, modernity, and the surreal interplay of power and fantasy. Inspired by a striking painting created in 2014 by Philip Slagter, this collection captures the dynamic energy and colorful chaos of a world where ancient spirits meet contemporary figures in a surreal dance. The painting, measuring 48”x48” and rendered in acrylic on canvas, was painted in Montana and reflects Slagter's unique ability to blend traditional mythology with modern themes in a visually arresting way.
Djinni is a bold and fantastical composition that brings together mythical creatures and human characters in a vivid, almost theatrical scene. At the center of the painting is a blue-skinned djinni, a powerful and mischievous spirit from Middle Eastern folklore, depicted here with exaggerated features and surrounded by swirling, chaotic elements. The djinni interacts with a sharply dressed man holding a gun, suggesting a narrative of confrontation or negotiation between the mystical and the mundane.
The surrounding elements—vibrant flowers, swirling ribbons, and surreal figures—add to the painting's sense of movement and energy, creating a dynamic visual experience that feels both playful and intense. The exaggerated forms and bold use of color heighten the sense of drama, while the contrast between the traditional djinni figure and the modern, suited man introduces a layer of irony and commentary on the intersection of ancient myths and contemporary life.
The artwork’s title, Djinni, invokes the idea of a powerful, unpredictable force, capable of granting wishes or wreaking havoc, depending on how it is treated. The interplay of these figures within the chaotic scene invites viewers to imagine their own stories and interpretations, drawing on the rich symbolism and dynamic composition.
When you wear the Djinni collection by OBEYEBO, you’re not just wearing clothing—you’re embracing the bold, imaginative spirit of a world where myth and modernity intersect. This collection allows you to carry with you the vibrant energy and dynamic storytelling of Slagter’s painting, turning your wardrobe into a canvas of cultural expression and creative fantasy.
The Djinni collection is perfect for those who see fashion as an extension of their personality—bold, eclectic, and unafraid to make a statement. Whether you’re drawn to the surreal designs, the rich colors, or the interplay of myth and reality, this clothing line ensures that your style is more than just fabric—it’s a reflection of the colorful, chaotic world we live in.
The Falling Angel clothing collection by OBEYEBO draws its profound narrative from a 72” x 60”
acrylic on canvas painting created by Philip Slagter in 2017, during his time in Macau, China. This evocative
artwork sheds light on a poignant and unsettling global issue: the exploitation of young women from third-world
countries like Indonesia and Thailand, who are lured into becoming sex workers in China and beyond. The painting
symbolizes the fragile moment of choice and resilience—she is depicted falling, not yet “fallen,” signifying that
hope and redemption are still within reach. The imagery captures the duality of beauty and despair. The vibrant, swirling forms that surround the central figure
evoke both chaos and movement, while the stark vulnerability of the falling woman contrasts with the predatory
figures that lurk in the background. Slagter's signature surrealism enhances the story, embedding layers of emotion
and commentary in each brushstroke. The golden accents and dynamic shapes suggest both the allure and the entrapment
that these women face. The Falling Angel clothing collection transforms this hauntingly beautiful artwork into a powerful fashion
statement. The collection incorporates elements such as the golden swirling patterns, the angelic figure's bold yet
fragile pose, and the surrealist elements to create designs that are both eye-catching and deeply meaningful. Each
piece carries the weight of the story, serving as a reminder of resilience and the importance of supporting those in
need. This collection is ideal for individuals who want their fashion to reflect more than just style—it's for those who
wish to wear pieces that tell stories, spark conversations, and advocate for change. Perfect for art enthusiasts,
advocates for women's rights, and those who appreciate the fusion of bold design with a powerful message, the
Falling Angel collection allows wearers to embody a sense of hope and strength.
