A Bathing Ape celebrates its 30th year anniversary with a range of graphic visuals in the BAPE GALLERY series. The range is made up of works by 12 artists around the world to create prints. This results in a dynamic range of pop art with branding remixes done by "Adam Lister, Alvaro Ilizarbe, Arkiv Vilmansa, Eric Inkala, Jasper Wong, Lilkool, OSO DE AGUA, Sam Taylor, tokidoki co-founder Simone Legno, and Tomotatsu Gima."
Every single piece showcases a perspective of the signature BAPE head, the iconic camo pattern, and other characters seen in a unique style. This features geometrical themes, psychedelic colors, as well as graffiti. Every single print is signed and numbers -- all of which are available to purchase online at BAPE UK.
