Speculative fashion, revisionist history, and a blending of old and new are a few key starting points to begin considering the work of Str4ngeThing. The anonymous artist with backgrounds in photography and fashion has adopted AI as his tool of choice to conjure new visions for contemporary culture.

RO4DM3N & H0RS3S is the latest in the artist’s two years of AI production, and adeptly merges influences of Renaissance art and current day streetwear trends. The series uniquely imagines a world in which roadmen, iconoclasts of contemporary street fashion, flex with horses while cars don’t exist. The resulting works nod to ideas of a Black cultural Renaissance that meshes climate-forward ideals with a fusion of high fashion and streetwear.
