The Treachery of Images Parody Tee, Magritte & Banana Duct Tape Design by Off The Frequency

A surrealist statement piece for the analog mind.

This shirt is a clever collision between two legendary moments in conceptual art: René Magritte’s The Treachery of Images ("Ceci n’est pas une pipe" / "This is not a pipe") and Maurizio Cattelan’s infamous banana artwork Comedian. It features the phrase "Ceci n’est pas de l’art" ("This is not art")—styled in a script that echoes Magritte’s original, but aimed at today’s gallery absurdities.

A wearable wink to Magritte becomes a full-blown jab at The Treachery of Art—calling into question what counts as art in a world where a duct-taped banana can sell for six figures.
