I don't really know where this goes, so I'll just put it here and it can get moved at will...
I know some of these have come up before, but I wanted to share... Here's the story...
Hot Press: Art is a Bloom (7-23-2002)
From Hot Press:
Art is a Bloom
Irish artist Dave Egan has completed a collection of U2-inspired paintings which
are being exhibited in
Dublin's Brown Thomas department store from August 23 to September 6.
The 33 canvases are named after such popular U2 songs as 'One', 'Sweetest
Thing', 'The Ground Beneath
Her Feet' and 'Mysterious Ways'. It's a major coup for Egan who's the first
person U2 have allowed to use
their lyrics in this way.
Originally from Dublin, he moved to Sydney 14 years ago and now has a studio
there which includes Elton
John amongst its regular visitors.
"When I was a student in Dublin, the sound of U2 was synonymous with the city's
cultural life," he
explains. "I saw them play to a home crowd and the memory of that concert
remains one of the most
inspirational moments in my life - as inspirational as the first time I saw
Keith Haring work. While listening
to U2's most recent collection of songs I began to formulate plans for a very
personal retrospective linking
my art to the enormous influence their music has had on me."
You can get a sneak preview of Music To My Eyes by logging on to
www.eganart.com.au . Meanwhile,
Sepultura are planning to include 'Bullet the Blue Sky' on an EP of covers
that's due in the autumn.
All I can say is GO TO HIS SITE AND LOOK AT HIS WONDERFUL ART! The man expresses something special and incorporates U2 lyrics in an incredible way. As a U2 fan I completely see what Mr. Egan is trying to achieve...he has almost all his U2 paintings online and they are awesome! I had the best time just looking at his paintings...when I get some time I plan to listen to the song while I'm gazing at the painting it's about...
I love it when people do things like this. I think it just shows the level that U2 brings people to...
Pardon me while I wax poetic and get all mushy about U2
Anyway...go to his site...
