Rock'n'Roll
2025
'Rock'n'Roll' crackles with irreverent energy, merging Shepard Fairey's countercultural graphic sensibility with Damien Hirst's pharmaceutical iconography through a striking combination of PVC tiles and pills on painted paper. The title invokes the mythology of excess — drugs, rebellion, and the rock star lifestyle — giving the pill-based medium a knowing, almost celebratory edge that simultaneously critiques and revels in that cultural archetype. Fairey's bold, layered painterly background provides a stage-ready visual backdrop, while the structured placement of pills echoes Hirst's methodical spot and cabinet works, grounding spectacle in systemic order. The PVC tiles introduce a street-level materiality, nodding to both artists' roots in public and accessible art spaces. As a collaboration, this piece captures the Triple Trouble ethos most viscerally — irreverence, craftsmanship, and cultural provocation fused into a single, kinetic surface.
