Storm Thorgerson - Big & Small Exhibition Launch

London's Idea Generation Gallery (http://gallery.ideageneration.co.uk/) was the venue last night for the official launch of BIG SMALL, a brand new exhibition of the album cover art of Storm Thorgerson and StormStudios. Opening to the public on October 21st, and running until November 13th, Big Small illustrates the vast diversity of format now facing music designers, from billboards to digital downloads and postage stamps. In particular, the show features enormous high quality fine art prints at 5-foot square that are by far the biggest they have ever attempted, of album covers from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Muse, The Mars Volta et al derived from original art and individually supervised. The exhibition also displays more manageable sized prints of recent StormStudios work including Pendulum, The Wombats, Younger Brother alongside more familiar works from Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel, Steve Miller, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. There's also some new, never before seen in public works which are well worth checking out. Idea Generation were the hosts of the excellent Syd Barrett: Art and Letters exhibition (http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/archiv...-now-open.html) which took place in March/April this year. The presentation of that exhibition was a great showcase of Syd's artistic endeavours, and as we saw last night, they've done a great job at displaying Storm's work, which ranges over many years, for a wide range of musicians. The venue packed with guests ranging from other artists, to musicians, to members of various band management teams and record company personnel, a great time was had by all, as they explored the show - and more on the show, and our exclusive pictures, are below.
