Jimi Hendrix is revered the world over as a rock legend, a
groundbreaking performer, an inspired lyricist and an all round wild
child, but this 20th century icon had yet another string to his
creative bow that is a lot less well known. This autumn we are proud
to present the Jimi Hendrix premier international collection of
artworks, a series of water colour visions that give us a new
insight into the creative mind of the man we thought we knew. Jimi
grew up in a small town outside Seattle in the 1950s. His youth was
spent playing sport, going to the coast and being in and amongst
nature. Anyone familiar with his songs will know the inferences
relating to the Pacific Northwest with its dramatic landscape and
uncertain weather, and these were both things that impacted on his
sense of the world and informed his creative genius both in terms of
music and art. |
