Dennis Morris 'Punk is a state of mind' @ Manifold Editions, by Ruggs on Jun 11, 2013 12:36:51 GMT 1, 'Punk is a state of mind' - Dennis Morris
The extensive coverage of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art show Punk: Chaos to Couture has refocused the world's attention on the sheer energy and innovation of the punk era. New signing for Manifold Editions legendary photographer Dennis Morris was right at the heart of the action from the start. In 1977 Johnny Rotten asked Morris to be the Sex Pistols' official photographer. For the year of the album Anarchy in the UK he trailed the Pistols at the peak of their notoriety, documenting the trail of chaos and destruction they left in their wake. If Johnny Rotten was the sneeringly, abrasively articulate face of the Pistols, the terrifyingly nihilistic Sid Vicious was the band's enduring media icon, an image surviving even Sid's own suicide by overdose in 1979. In SiD Morris presents Vicious both at the apogee of fame and on the brink of what was to be a dark journey, daring us to enter his world with a conspiratorial wink.
In his first exploration of the screen-printing process, Morris deliberately evokes Warholโs iconic screenprints of the 1970s, using three lurid punk colours and making the image grainy to reflect this moment in time. The chain at Sidโs neck is printed in spot silver ink and both chain and left eye are varnished. Sid's Cowboy T-shirt by Vivienne Westwood was one of her most iconic designs. Each edition is appropriately of 77. Prices will increase as the editions sell out.
With a career spanning more than 20 years, and a c.v. that reads like a Who's Who of popular music and culture, Dennis Morris continues to photograph the leading musicians of the time. He has held exhibitions in the UK, Japan and Canada, and his photographs have appeared in Rolling Stone, Time, People magazine, and the Sunday Times, amongst others.
The three editions will be on show at the Affordable Art Fair Hampstead (13-16th June 2013) and Art Hamptons, Bridgehampton, New York, USA (11-14th July 2013) - if you would like complimentary tickets please contact us.
