KEEP ROCKIN'
An idea that I've been dealing with for a long time is a series of (almost) black and white portraits of rock musicians who accompanied me through my life. Not the young, glamorous musicians, but the older ones who show traces of a (hopefully!) real wild life. The aged heroes of my youth (and the rest of my life). I made it my own requirement that I have to had seen the people portrayed live in concert.
All portraits are made with pastels on black cardboard measuring 30 x 42 cm. I tried to put a splash of color into each of the otherwise black and white drawings. Here are all 36 portraits (the images can be enlarged by clicking on them):
The explanations for all 36 works can be found on the following pages. For a better overview, I have limited them to six works per page.
