PUNK PHOTOGRAPHY EXCITES A REBEL IN ALL

In the beginning of the 1970s, punk swept the streets as a rebellious embodiment of disillusioned British youth. What began as a feeling of rage became a significant movement expressed through style and music. Ray Stevenson, the veteran of punk photography, has managed to capture images that coined the movement. Sex Pistols concerts, Clash concerts, Jonny Rotten and Vivienne Westwood hanging out, stylish British youth – Ray Stevenson managed to capture the rise of punk culture in all its authenticity. His photographs will be presented at The Michael Hoppen Gallery in the exhibition simply entitled PUNK. The show will feature his iconic prints suitably distressed, with an object quality and intensity that embodies the movement.
