Jerry Garcia “Orpheus” Art Print

Jerry Garcia (Summer), 2017
21 x 32
Edition of 500
9 colors on cream paper
Signed and Numbered

This poster was officially available through the Jerry Garcia Estate.

I will be making my artist copies available only through my art shows and live appearances through the end of 2017.

_______________

In the second print of my portrait series, “Jerry Garcia (Summer)”, I hope to capture the vitality, good humor, and optimism of the Grateful Dead’s lead guitarist and principal vocalist, the one who anchored the concert hall with his good nature, while a wild, free improvisation swirled through him and around him. I wove a psychedelic paisley pattern throughout the design rendered in nine colors, including bright hues, hand-blended metallics and translucent glazes. My aim is to portray the vital Jerry, an “Orpheus” who could charm savage nature with music, a “Dark Star” who journeyed from the Haight-Ashbury to the Pyramids of Egypt.
