Presented by Dutch art collective: ANTISTROT

After years of selling limited art t-shirt designs and other goodies to a small in-crowd, straight out of backpacks, plastic bags and the trunks of borrowed cars, Dutch art collective ANTISTROT is proud to announce its brand new webstore.

Some popular designs have around 2-14 pieces currently left in stock. For silkscreen orders, each item is signed and numbered. T-shirts are 25 euro postage paid within Europe, and 30 euro postage paid to the rest of the world.

There's a section where you can obtain some Antistrot notorious, original artwork. If you're gonna go broke shopping, you might as well do it in style ;).

The members of Antistrot found each other while studying illustration at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. They bonded over a shared dislike of both their professor (Professor Strot--hence the name, Anti Strot) and of the restrictive view of art making they saw as being too widespread.

Ten years later, Antistrot still draw and paint as a group. They do so around a table, by "attacking" the canvas from all sides. They often incorporate images from obscure comics, fashion magazines, and other sources. Each member's distinct style is incorporated. They discuss current events, pop culture, things that piss them off--anything that interests them--which unexpectedly become part of what they are creating. Therein lies the magic of Antistrot.

Antistrot has shown extensively throughout Europe and Japan, including exhibitions at Boijmans van Beuningen (Rotterdam), Centre of Contemporary Art (Prague), Hugh Lane Gallery (Dublin), and others.
