Union LA x The Broad Pay Homage to Patrick Martinez

Union LA and The Broad have come together in a remarkable collaboration to pay homage to the talented artist Patrick Martinez. This fusion of Southern California art and streetwear celebrates Martinez’s work, creating a capsule collection that draws inspiration directly from his pieces currently on display at The Broad’s Desire, Knowledge, and Hope (with Smog) exhibition.

The collaboration features two distinct graphics, each capturing the essence of Martinez’s art: “They Tried To Bury Us, They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds”: This iconic neon sign by Patrick Martinez takes center stage on the back of the silhouette. The front proudly displays stacked Union LA and The Broad branding, with Martinez’s signature underneath. Centered Graphic: The second graphic showcases another of Martinez’s on-display pieces. Co-branding graces the back of the neck, emphasizing the union of art and streetwear.

Patrick Martinez expressed his excitement on Instagram, hoping that his art inspires young visitors to The Broad. He also emphasized accessibility, allowing people to connect with the art through this small capsule collection.

The collaboration dropped on Saturday, March 23, at 9 a.m. PST. You can grab a piece from The Shop at The Broad, Union LA, or their official webstores.
