The “27 Club” is a notional roll of remembrance, celebrating popular musicians who died at the age of twenty-seven and includes Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse.

Anton says he has always be interested in pop culture and “The 27 Club” provided an opportunity to produce a significant number of works profiling the late musicians.

“When you consider how many we have lost at the age 27, and you can see that clearly on the walls, it’s both sad and interesting at the same time,” he says.

This exhibition of works on ply is showing at The Imperial, 79 Litchfield St until 26 November but can be viewed by appointment after that.

All portraits are for sale.
