'London Talking' celebrates the music and bands which have their roots firmly embedded in the streets of the city. From Bowies Brixton beginnings to The Clash, Blur and The Jam , the legacy and inspiration of the capital on artists and bands spans the decades. The 1960’s introduced The Stones, Pink Floyd and the Kinks and the seventies heralded the arrival of Bowie and The Clash. Each decade celebrates it’s own musical revolution and London Talking is a graphic fusion of the iconography and symbolism which is such a crucial part of band identity. Blending hand cut collage with acrylic and spray paints, the reinterpretation of the music ephemera seeks to create it’s own new narrative, creating new graphical juxtapositions out of the recognisable icons.
