Hand-drawn poster in tribute to Amy Winehouse, an English singer and songwriter. She was known for her deep, expressive vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres, including soul, rhythm and blues and Jazz.
Amy Winehouse perfectly crafted an aesthetic that reflected her diverse musical influences. Her iconic image blended 50s pin-up culture with 60s pop-group styling and punk.
Amy’s retro aesthetic is symbolic of our wider fascination with the past, this is why in this drawing, she is sitting peacefully in a nostalgic decor of an underground old-school jazz bar, dimly lit in blue with the traditional signage holding the world-known artist's name.
Behind her is a stage, ready to welcome the superstar and her legendary voice. We can also read a newspaper, whose headline is announcing a performance in Camden Town, London, a place close to Amy Winehouse's heart, her hometown that she called her “playground”. Many corners of the borough honor her memory.
What serves as a menu on the table that holds a martini glass, is a small replica of The Dublin Castle Pub.
One of the intimate venues in her beloved Camden where Amy played one of her first gigs.
The drawing holds two faint hints to her album Back to Black, which went on to become an international success and one of the best-selling albums in UK history.
During her career, Winehouse received 23 awards from 60 nominations. This is why there is a gramophone next to her, as well as fitting with the jazz goddess's style, it represents her 6 grammy award wins, which made her enter the “Guinness Book of Records” for 'Most Grammy Wins by a British Female Act.
Rest in peace Amy.
We only said goodbye with words.
