Additional Information
All of our custom print t-shirts are made to be returned to our manufacturer when they’re worn out, so they can be turned back into usable material and made into new t-shirts. This t-shirt is the end result of that – created from 50% post-consumer remanufactured organic cotton and 50% organic cotton.
For The Dawn of Venus, Thomas Lowinsky painted a very different scene to the Renaissance vision of Venus many are familiar with. Instead of showing the goddess of love stood naked, riding the waves in a magnificent clam shell, Lowinsky paints his Venus seated in the half shell, which rests on the sea bed.

About our manufacturer
We’ve partnered with Teemill for our collection of print-on-demand apparel featuring a choice of Tate artwork designs. A sustainable, forward-thinking company, their garments are made in a wind-and-solar powered, SA8000 Certified factory in India dedicated to the fair treatment of workers, using organic sustainably produced cotton. They’re printed using low-waste digital printing tech and vegan inks that conform to the GOTS/Soil Association organic criteria and are never tested on animals. The garments are printed with your chosen design on demand in Teemill’s Isle of Wight factory, so there’s no overstock and no waste, and they’re shipped to you in plastic-free, recyclable packaging (which is also great for colouring-in).
If looked after well, your t-shirt should last for years, and at the end of its life you can use the QR code on the label to send it back to Teemill, where it’ll be turned back into usable material and made into new t-shirts.
About the artist

Born in India, Lowinsky grew up in England studied at the Slade School of Fine Art. After active service in France during World War I, he returned to painting and illustrating, exhibiting his works at the Leicester Galleries in 1926. He mostly painted portraits, but also became known for his fantasy scenes.
