TAZ aka Jim Evans thought if any of you are in near the Santa Monica area this weekend, you can go to the Barker Hanger, to see this show https://www.popartphotoshow.com and pick up a print you can also buy tickets to the show on the website.
Lot of fun stuff including two small editions that feature TAZ, Kelly Graval aka RISK, and Dennis Morris (legendary Bob Marley and Sex Pistols photographer and Shepard Fairey collaborator).
The establishment has lost its way, and the youth are gaining control, sound familiar? The spirit of punk is alive again, and this print by Jim Evans aka TAZ captures the spirit of ’76. Working in collaboration with legendary photographer Dennis Morris, Evans took Dennis’ original photo from ground zero of the Sex Pistols punk explosion and transformed it to make a fresh statement. Urban rubble and an empire in tatters are imbued with an updated color palette based on the artistic engagement between TAZ and artist RISK, revealing a psychedelic multi-layered print. The final print was made and signed at Risk Rock Studios will be available in a very limited quantity.
When Legalize It by Peter Tosh was released it had a huge cultural impact, the packaging, the music, and of course, Peter himself. Photo legend Dennis Morris was there at the time and captured a series of images that show Peter at that seminal time. Jim Evans aka TAZ has collaborated with Dennis to create a unique piece that tries to capture the spirit of the original shot while updating it with an impressionistic take on color and design. Dennis’ iconic shot now becomes something more symbolic, with color that evokes the artistic collaboration between TAZ and the artist RISK. The final print was made and signed at Risk Rock Studios and will be available in a very limited quantity.
