This new collection of paintings depicts images of ‘pop culture’ paying particular homage to Warhol’s iconic and timeless screen prints.
These large, bright acrylic paintings capture images from certain eras, when music combined with fashion was an integral part of everyday life. Music is a very important part of development and education, from the shamanic beats of hollowed out tree trunks, to the pre-programmed samples produced from computers, personally music is a necessity.
These powerful images of Rock ‘N’ Roll ‘stars’ trigger thoughts and memories of certain points in time, creating waves of nostalgia and sentiment. Music is an ever changing facet producing magical and extraordinary people, who not only celebrate their chosen art, but by their actions they forever change the face of Rock ‘N’ Roll.
These twenty carefully chosen ‘Icons’ represent music that is important from my own existence, from childhood encounters of ‘glam rock’ through to ‘punk’ and beyond.
In today’s culture of manufactured pop bands, and the constant regurgitation of mass produced accessories, isn’t it time we had a nostalgic look back to see who made Rock ‘N’ Roll so innovative, exciting, and above all rebellious?
