Let Me Guide You (Prince) 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 interpretation of the classic album cover of Purple Rain by Prince. Square in composition to mimic the cover artwork it is an abstract take on the iconic image of Prince sat on his motorbike surrounded by smoke and shadows. This style is a continuation of the silhouette style that I have built up and is a combination of abstract markings, smoke, bokeh and musical staves and notes. The aim being to create something abstract and engaging with intense colours and that is big on detail with the aim of doing justice to such an iconic artist.
