The Record Store is a tribute to music and the many ways it intertwines with our lives. We can all relate to music’s ability to transport us somewhere
else – to other eras, places, and states of being – and in times of uncertainty and anxiety, we can look to music and musical spaces to remind us of what we have to celebrate.
Bringing together work from more than 25 artists, the gallery space at Creativity Explored has been transformed to mirror the aesthetic of a record shop, with artists’ renditions of album covers, tour posters, portraits of musicians and merchandise lining the walls. The work in the show covers a wide range of styles and influences, with the singular personalities and perspectives of the artists superimposed on some of the most iconic, as well as more obscure musical imagery.
Two prominently featured artists in the show, Laron Bickerstaff and Mosai Butler, work in a style and with subject matter that seems like a natural fit. Laron’s work straddles the line between figurative and abstract, with faces and figures brimming with blocks of imaginative color, and this energy feels like a perfect way to communicate the dynamic and diverse nature of music. As for Mosai, he often enjoys drawing influential hip hop figures.
