This limited edition screen print continues David Studwell’s Heroes and Villains series with Jimi Hendrix. The portrait shot used here is one commonly in a composite mis-identified as mugshot, combined with the lettering from Hendrix’ actual arrest in May 1969.

Studwell’s work focusses on celebrity and the dark side of fame. His mugshot series explores the vulnerabilities and flaws of celebrities often hidden from public view but highlighted in these raw and public images; revealing cracks in the people we hold in such high esteem.

The pop-style punch comes across here on screen. It is much harder for us to show the beautiful quality of Studwell’s masterful silk screen technique that makes his work so coveted and well loved by collectors.
