UPDATE: Because of the amazing (relative) popularity of my LOU REED LOU REED paintings, I have decided to commit brush to paint and 'do' ten more. Hurry and 'get in' before Christmas.
'LOU REED LOU REED' - A limited edition of 10 acrylic on canvas paintings by Luke Haines (30cm x 40cm)
Art lovers, art haters. The paint brushes whisper to me in the dead of night. They say 'Leave us alone, go back to sleep.' But I take heed of no man or brush. Like Ron Wood, I paint when I want to, and I want to paint.
This super limited edition (10 only) of new paintings, is based upon my new elpee 'New York In The '70s.' On which I sing the words 'Lou Reed Lou Reed' 68 times. Obviously, I can't paint 'Lou' 68 times, but I can paint him ten times. On the album I sing 'If variety is all that you're after, then get the fuck out of the church of repetition man, cos you're interrupting a master.' Repetition. 68 'Lou Reeds' you can put in your ears, and ten 'Lou Reeds' you can have on your wall. All art is repetition.
Each painting is in monochrome: blue, red, green, and black. Some even have 'cut ups' on them (from an email with a real 'NY Star. The words 'Mythic Muthafucking Rock N Roll' are daubed on the back frame. So, kick the smack and spend your money on art instead.
(Unfortunately you cannot request a specific colour painting - they will be distributed randomly.)
R & R Luke Haines.
