Celebrated the work of the illustrator and graphic designer Alan Aldridge, the graphic entertainer of the 1960s and 70s.. what a dull era we live in! His work captures the psycadelic style and sums up a lot what was going on at this time. He illustrated lyric books for the Beatles, album covers for the Rolling Stones, The Who, Elton John, was the Art Director for Penguin, illustrated children's books such as The Butterfly Ball, and designed adverts and identities for iconic brands like House of Blues and Hard Rock Cafe.
The exhibition was created perfectly in his style, with walls plastered in his illustrations, there must have been hundreds of them with no much white space to spare! There was a room which was covered in mirrors with giant illustrated creatures hanging from the ceiling, and a recreation of the famous painted mini. Definately worth the visit.
