Stanley Donwood
EVERYBODY'S HAPPY NOWADAYS
1 juli-3 aug, V!P's Spiegelstraat 8 Amsterdam
For over twelve years British artist Stanley Donwood
determined the visual identity of Radiohead. He designs their
covers, posters and official merchandise, and in a joint
collaboration with frontman Thom Yorke he translates their
musical ideas and social concerns in appealing images that
immediately settle in the eye of the beholder.
Numerous projects later the line between Radiohead’s
music and Donwood’s artwork has become increasingly thin,
which gave him the status of Radiohead’s semi-official sixth
member. Donwood: “I think that my obsession with
nuclear apocalypse, Ebola pandemics, global cataclysm
and Radiohead’s particular brand of unsettling melody
have gone together quite well.” more info www.vipsart.nl/
