‘WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER’ now open at Gallery House! A collaboration with Linn sound systems 🔈
Curated by Cult Vision founder and creative director Panos Nicolaou. He says:
‘..The film poster has been with us since the birth of cinema in the 1890’s. For many of us alive today, films are the art form that we have been most exposed to. They have had a profound impact on; our attitudes, our knowledge, our experience and our culture. The primary purpose of the film poster is to create the desire, the want, the need to go to the cinema and buy a ticket to watch the film. This task requires the artist to really capture the imagination of ordinary people. Sometimes with a subtle tease, sometimes with an explosion of colour, movement and drama.
With artistic styles that range from; photorealistic, to psychedelic, to graphic, to abstract, to surreal many posters stand alone as accomplished works of art. The most coveted being the posters that perfectly compliment excellent or much loved films. However there are also excellent and coveted posters of terrible films and terrible posters of excellent films. The latter has contributed to a growing market for new limited edition posters created by artists celebrating their favourite cult or classic films
The collection featured in this exhibition are significant cinema posters from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and one or two gems from the 2000’s. Significant because of their wonderful artwork, their story, their cultural impact or just for how much they were loved and enjoyed…’
