Amy (Amy Winehouse) Deluxe by Mark Davies
A bold and intense collection of work that showcases iconic music album covers remastered by Mark Davies
I am taking something that exists and is well loved but making it better, adding ambience, detail and emotion. You’re not trying to change things to the point of distorting or losing what people love about the iconic covers but simply amplifying the original works. I’m doing exactly what a producer would do when they revisit a classic and evaluate what works and why and what can be built on and brought up-to-date. Exploring an emotion that may not have been visible on what we recognise today but could very well be there under the surface, away from the spotlight.
My aspirations for this piece were to soften her overall look through the blurred techniques that I use so I could amplify the fragility of her as a woman, surrounded by the darkness and chaos of the industry and her lifestyle and her demons that surrounded her whilst reinforcing that she was just a woman in need of help. I have used the cracking textures to depict her being broken and continuing to break, subtle but powerful – a detail that will flow through the body of work just like it does through the industry.
