Colm Dillane founded KidSuper on the foundational concept of the integration of fashion and art, still to this day hand-painting the artwork imprinted on KidSuper’s apparel. Dillane also draws heavily from the music scene to inform KidSuper’s ethos, staying tapped in to the music scene and consistently soundtracking his runways with solid curated playlists or live music; Dillane’s love of both music and art make his latest venture – a one-of-one oil painting made in collaboration with Dead & Company – a pristinely crafted passion project.
Dillane’s captivating painting is aptly dubbed “Touch of Color” – which is presumably a nod to the band’s “Touch of Gray” – and envisions the legacy of The Dead through his distinct artistic lens. The piece also pictures motifs from other songs including “Fire on the Mountain” and “Bertha.”
Take a closer look at the KidSuper x Dead & Company painting above – which is currently on auction on Artsy’s website until August 16th, and will be on display at Las Vegas’ “Dead Forever Experience” at The Venetian Resort as part of the band’s Dead Forever – Live at Sphere residency.
