Across America is a collection of images by Horace Panter inspired by trips he has taken over the last 15 years.
These signed limited editions celebrate the pop art genre and Americana at its best!
Horace has always been fascinated by the humble cassette, which played such a pivotal role in the dissemination of music in the 1970s and 80s. Cassettes may be obsolete, but they still evoke a powerful sense of nostalgia.
Taking inspiration from the Pop Art tradition, Horace has created iconic works of art from these everyday objects.
The Pop Art movement is one of Horace Panter's major influences. In his silkscreen print 'Silver Robot', the robot has a commanding and very human presence. Horace's beautiful portrait of Amy Winehouse, which places her in an idealised almost heavenly landscape , was commissioned by The Amy Winehouse Foundation.
As bassist for the band 'The Specials', Horace Panter toured the world, taking the opportunity to visit major art galleries where he received inspiration for his painting. His edition 'The Specials' captures the band in its heyday, and features the artist (second from left).
This collection features signed limited editions based on Horace Panter's own Access All Areas Passes from the last 14 years of gigs and tours as bass player and founder member of The Specials.
Also featured in the collection will be signed limited editions inspired by passes supplied by other bands and contacts that Horace has made over many years in the music business.

Deluxe Editions are presented on Perspex with hidden aluminium sub frame, so they appear to float off the wall when hung. These replicate the look of a real tour laminate.
