MICK ROCK X HANNAH SHILLITOFREDDIE ROCK, 2024
DISCOVER THE ROCKS’ STARS COLLECTION + EXHIBITION LAUNCH
Mick Rock (b. 1948 d. 2021) was known famously as “The Man Who Shot The Seventies” and documented the last five decades of rock music, icons, and culture. The Seventies, a golden era of modern music, found Mick perfectly placed at its heart. With instinctive talent, sharp vision, and an unforgettable name, he became a defining figure in rock photography. Born in post-war London, his brilliance led him to Cambridge University, where he earned a degree in Modern Languages. Rock has photographed iconic legends David Bowie, Tina Turner, Dolly Turner and Freddie Mercury.
“I’m thrilled with British artist Hannah Shillito’s interpretations of famous photographs from Mick Rocks’ archive. The use both artist make of colour, direct images, the sensuality and fun of rock ‘n’ roll make this collaboration very exciting with Agony + Ecstasy Gallery” - Pati Rock
“Working with such iconic images is any artists’ dream and I couldn’t feel more honoured and excited to have my name next to a legend in rock history. It’s the biggest milestone of my career to continue Mick Rock’s legacy” - Hannah Shillito
