BROTHERS: The Kinks - Christian Furr, Ray Davies and Dave Davies

Coming soon… A new exhibition by Ray Davies, Dave Davies and Christian Furr will open at The Gibson Garage London in July.

 

“Strangers on this road we are on,
We are not two, we are one.”
‘Strangers’ by The Kinks

 

The Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential British rock groups of all time. From their explosive beginnings as part of the British Beat movement to forays into concept albums, stadium rock, and acoustic balladeering, the band have left an unimpeachable legacy of classic songs, many of which form the building blocks of popular music.

 

‘Brothers’ is a new collaboration between The Kinks co-founders Ray and Dave Davies, and acclaimed artist Christian Furr. A master of portraiture, Furr first came to prominence in 1995 when, at the age of 28, he became the youngest artist to paint HM Queen Elizabeth II, after the Queen personally selected him for a commission by the Royal Overseas League.

 

‘The Kinks: Brothers’ collection is based on a vintage passport booth photograph, originally taken by Ray and Dave in East Finchley, North London in 1968. The iconic double self-portrait has been reimagined by Furr in a series of original mixed media artworks on paper and canvas. The imagery captures the enduring bond between the brothers and celebrates their lasting cultural legacy.

 

“You’re my brother,
Though I didn’t know you yesterday.
I’m your brother,
Together we can find a way.”
‘Brother’ by The Kinks
