Painter Robert Penney, the owner of the Penney Design studio, tried to imagine: what the covers of the releases of the most fashionable pop singers of our time would have looked like if they had lived half a century earlier? It turned out that Lady Gaga and Thom Yorke look great side by side with Elvis and the Rollings.
Already in which his project a talented young artist and designer turns to contemporary musical culture. His past accomplishments include "eight-bit" pixelated versions of The Beatles' famous photographs. Now it's the turn of the musicians of the new era - from pop star Lady Gaga to depressive indie rockers Interpol and melancholic leader Radiohead.
Judging by the results of the works of Robert Penny, Lady Gaga in the 1950s would have turned out to be a rhythm and blues singer, Interpol - troublemakers like The Rolling Stones, but Tom York would have got the image of dressed not without glitter, but clearly drinking a Kruner like Sinatra. Although some critics suggest that the cover with Thom Yorke is more a tribute to the "dance" period of David Bowie's work (1980s).
In Penny's work, one can sense a deep interest in contemporary music, as well as an absence of excessive snobbery: The beatles and Lady Gaga in his work they peacefully coexist with each other. Further work by Penney Design can be followed through their social media profiles, carefully listed on the website.
