New Era Mambo Goddess "Hard Pressed Extra Virgin" Tee
US$59.38 - sold
Diving deep into 90s Australian art history with one of the most celebrated Mambo designs of all time: "Hard Pressed Extra Virgin." 👼✨
Created in 1994 by the prominent Australian artist David McKay (signed © David McKay '94 in the bottom left), this piece is a masterclass in Mambo’s signature irreverent parodies.
Taking visual inspiration from the classic Virgin of Guadalupe icon, McKay cleverly contrasts sacred religious imagery with the mundane text of high-quality supermarket olive oil labels ("Hard Pressed" and "Extra Virgin").
Flanked by scroll-carrying cherubs and featuring a devil supporting the platform, this print represents Mambo’s "Goddess" series at its absolute peak. A beautiful, highly detailed piece of counter-culture history. 🏺🌿
