Luxury Wall Art – Clowned by Capitalism, by Corey Wesley
Luxury is owning what no one else can. This unapologetic metal artwork exposes 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 Story Behind 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 like Gucci and Louis Vuitton outsource production to factories in China—while selling fantasies of “Made in Italy”—this piece pulls back the gold curtain.
The gold is deliberate. It’s not glamor—it’s camouflage. The distorted clown face mocks our complicity in idolizing status symbols that exploit under the guise of elegance.
Created in Harlem, this artwork invites discomfort. To laugh. To fume. To awaken.
