UPWEY LANDSCAPE – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket

A Tribute to Fred Williams. A Masterpiece of Nature.

Inspired by Fred Williams, one of Australia's most iconic and celebrated artists, the Upwey Landscape Raw Silk Jacket pays homage to his vision of the Australian landscape. Known for his evocative portrayals of the Australian bush, Williams’ work captured the raw, untamed beauty of the country’s natural terrain.

This jacket is a wearable tribute to Williams’ masterpiece Upwey Landscape, which is known for its subtle layers of earthy tones, creating a rich, textured representation of the land. In true Joe Bananas style, we’ve taken Fred’s artistic vision and infused it with our signature craftsmanship, resulting in a stunning tapestry that reflects both the spirit of the landscape and the artistry of the man.

The Upwey Landscape Raw Silk Jacket features a blend of earthy greens, warm ochres, and subtle blues, reflecting the complexity and beauty of the bush. Its textured weave mirrors the rugged, organic forms of the land that Williams so often depicted, combining nature and art in one wearable masterpiece.
