RCFA are
proud to release the 'Pop Art' signed limited edition collection by Horace
Panter.
Horace's
artwork is informed by his many years of involvement in the music business,
travelling all over the world visiting art galleries and museums, as bass
player with THE SPECIALS.
Whether
it be paying homage to his heroes in The Blues and Jazz world, or a tribute to
The Clash (a band The Specials toured with in the late 70's) the art is full of
detail and information about his chosen subject. This ethos also applies to the
other series included here - 'Icons',
'Cassettes' and 'Robots'.
POP ART
COLLECTION
Including
the silkscreen edition of The Specials (each copy is hand coloured by the
artist)
THE
BLUES COLLECTION
Ten
different images of Blues legends, including Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker,
Howlin' Wolf, Stevie Ray Vaughan....
JAZZ
COLLECTION
The Jazz
collection follows on from The Blues series, only two images at the moment,
Miles Davies and Charlie Parker.
CASSETTE
COLLECTION
Adhering
to the Pop Art ideal of 'elevating the mundane' Horace uses the cassette tapes
from a bygone era to make wonderful statement pieces. Featuring 'John Peel -
August 1981', 'Northern Soul', 'Motown Chartbusters Volume 3.....
ICON
COLLECTION
Of The
Icon Collection, Horace says “an icon is ‘written’, just like graffiti, where
all the rules of perspective and chiaroscuro are thrown out of the window in
favour of a different visual hierarchy ... hopefully [my icons] achieve a
reverence without being pretentious.”
These
include 'Amy Winehouse' (the original was donated to The Amy Winehouse
Foundation) who appeared on stage with The Specials in 2009
ROBOT
COLLECTION
The
‘Robot’ collection reflect a youthful obsession with the 1950’s futuristic fantasy
genre and how that particular rendition of the robot has become iconic.
On 1st
March 2014 we will be holding a major solo exhibition by Horace Panter.
Alongside the editions we will also feature a large collection of original
pieces. Selected originals to the edition collection can be previewed by
appointment (please contact the gallery for further information).
