RICHARD ALDRICH (1975- )


Hurray More Opiates and Bike Song.
Polymer Gravure etching with hand-colouring. 127x114 mm; 5x4½ inches (image), wide margins. Initialed "RP" and numbered 27/40 in pencil, lower margin. 2012.

Richard Aldrich executed this edition for the ICA London as a three part artwork: an audio piece for the recent ICA exhibition Soundworks; a record sleeve for the forthcoming album More Opiates and Bike Song, from Aldrich's band, Hurray; and Hurray More Opiates and Bike Song, one of the studies for the album artwork. The image for the print originates from a small acrylic painting of the same dimensions, and has been remade as a two plate polymer etching and hand coloured by the artist.
