Dean Roper

With a background in ceramics and a playful approach to form, Dean Roper’s work spans sculptural objects, irreverent graphics and bootleg-inspired apparel. Pop culture references and vintage sportswear are reimagined in hand-altered t-shirts and hoodies—such as old adidas garments reworked to read “Acid”—offering a subversive take on nostalgia and branding. Roper’s multidisciplinary practice merges art, design and satire, producing collectible pieces that sit between studio ceramics, fashion and cultural commentary.
