Black Sabbath
5 December – 17 December Free with museum entry This December we’re embracing the darkness and celebrating all things Sabbath. The band has provided inspiration for musicians and artists alike over their 40 year career. Ahead of their arena show on the 10th December we are hosting a pop-up exhibition of Black Sabbath inspired screen prints, in partnership with The Flood Gallery. Commissioned to respond to iconic Sabbath songs these limited edition screen prints have been designed by the cream of the poster art scene, including Godmachine, Richey Beckett, Glyn Smyth, Michael Cowell, Matt Valentine, Scott Move and John Reardon. With each artist’s unique interpretation the exhibit captures the essence of some of Black Sabbath's best known catalogue, and provides a glimpse of how these songs can translate into fantastic visual representations of one of the UK’s most formidable heavy rock bands. With artists that specialise in the areas of folklore, mythology, metal and tattoo art, there is sure to be something for everyone. Prints will be available to buy from the BME shop throughout the exhibition, but are limited runs so don’t miss your opportunity to acquire a fantastic artwork for your wall! http://www.thefloodgallery.com
