After a friendship spanning more than a decade, Royal portrait painter Christian Furr and legendary Rock & Roll photographer Gered Mankowitz collaborated on new work in a merging of minds and methods. This stunning array of works features hand worked uniquely painted original prints such as The Rolling Stones’, Jimi Hendrix and Kate Bush’, bringing Furr’s distinct painting style to some of Gered’s most famous and iconic photographs. We first produced these as White Gloss Chromaluxe pieces, here at Genesis, and then shipped them to Christian’s studio where he applied his painting style – embellishing each print with metallic paint, diamond dust and gold leaf. The work merged naturally to inevitably form the stunning and colourful ’45RPM’ collection. Read more about the exhibition here.
