I want something that looks professional, as I am not very competant at painting or producing abstract art, I decided to look for an artist which I can comission to create some abstract. This is something that would happen usually in the music business. An example of this would be the album artwork of Royal Blood's self titled debut album. The work was from it was a work called ‘Falls’ by Dan Hillier inspired by Victorian etchings and a strong example of his surrealist art.
"Born in 1986 and raised in Hackney, Danny studied Fine Art at the University of East London and completed his printmaking MA at the Royal Collage of Art in 2014. Danny's work deals predominantly with ideas of identity and gender and how it is portrayed in today's society, be it male, female, transgender or homosexual. Playing with a narrative which starts out as hope, quickly becomes a hegemony of power and a carnival of vice. In regards to love and family Danny's work leaves the viewer both with a sense of what could have been and with a sense of how those feelings have been distorted by gender politics."
Danny is a friend of mine who is also an artist, his work is perfect for the audience of Jems music and very 'on trend' - it will relate to the hipster art fans who also listen to indie music.
Here are some examples of his work:
