Clowned by Capitalism – Luxury Metal Wall Art for Modern Spaces
Luxury is owning what no one else can.
This unapologetic luxury metal wall art confronts the illusion of status—spotlighting the unsettling truths behind high-end fashion’s global façade.
It’s not just a visual—it’s a confrontation. A mirror held up to a system where the joke is on us… and the clown wears couture.
The Art
Clowned by Capitalism: Luxury’s Last Laugh is Corey Wesley’s satirical takedown of mass-manufactured opulence. Inspired by revelations that top-tier brands outsource production while selling fantasies of “Made in Italy,” this bold modern luxury wall decor pulls back the gold curtain.
The gold is deliberate: not glamor, but camouflage. The distorted clown face mocks society’s complicity in idolizing symbols that exploit under the guise of elegance. Created in Harlem, this artwork invites discomfort, reflection—and awakening.
