45 Revolutions: Paintings by Morgan Howell

10th July - 2nd September 2014

This summer Proud Galleries is pleased to introduce 45 Revolutions, an exhibition of supersized original paintings and prints of seven inch singles by artist Morgan Howell. This exhibition will celebrate the golden age of 'the 45' and will feature the most important and iconic single sleeves in 20th century culture.

Artist Morgan Howell celebrates this nostalgic love affair through his supersized art works. His unique mixed-media paintings are approximately fifteen times the surface area of the classic seven-inch singles on which they are based and he unsparingly captures the essence of each sleeve, recreating every little detail down to the crinkles and creases on each record.

Nice one ...will go take a look at it over the summer ..

I met a guy the other week that does some stuff with old vinyl ... he was an ex DJ/ Graffiti artist called Robi Walters ... did also design some T shirts and Album covers for various artists ..Giles Peterson's Brownswood label for one .. ( Check out Brownswood Bubbles series)

Robi is a very interesting guy and there are loads like him that are using Vinyl to make art
