Morgan Howell 7": 100 Paintings of Classic Singles

Morgan Howell paints giant versions of classic 7" singles, taking into account every crease, tear and imperfection of a record and its sleeve to produce a one-off artwork that is almost identical to the original copy, but four times larger and three-dimensional, with a spindle at its centre, as if the single were ready to play.

This original approach has attracted a cult following among art collectors and musicians alike, with paintings commissioned by the likes of Neil Diamond, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jude Law, Edgar Wright and Hans Zimmer, and major music labels selecting the artist's work for display in their headquarters. Indeed, Howell's painting of David Bowie'sThe Jean Genieis displayed at the Sony Music Building in London, and his version ofYesterdayby The Beatles has been shown at the Capitol Building in LA.
