Prints of Darkness

About

The record cover provides a fundamental interface between music and the still image, and has become an essential aspect of musical and visual subcultures. This exhibition of contemporary prints exploring record cover art recalls the golden age of the vinyl record cover, with references to the imagery of post-psychedelia, goth-surrealistic, art-nouveau designs. Published by the Edinburgh Printmakers, the prints have been acquired for the permanent collection of Contemporary Scottish Prints through the Golder-Thompson Gift. Artists include Christopher Orr, Norman Shaw, The Lonely Piper, Edward Summerton and Mark Wallace.
