About the Item

"Gibson SG – Buckle Rash" Dye sublimation on aluminium, flush mounted 37.5 x 30 inches / 95 x 76 cm Gibson SG – Buckle Rash is part of Scott McDermott’s acclaimed Backline series, a photographic celebration of the iconic instruments that shaped rock-and-roll history. Using dye sublimation on aluminum, McDermott captures the legendary Gibson SG electric guitar in sharp, vibrant detail, transforming a tool of music into a work of contemporary art. The title refers to “buckle rash”—the scuffs and wear marks left on the back of a guitar from years of musicians playing with passion, their belt buckles brushing and grinding against the wood. Far from being flaws, these marks are badges of authenticity, embodying the sweat, energy, and physicality of countless live performances. McDermott elevates this patina of use into a visual metaphor for the raw power and mythology of rock culture. With its sleek aluminum surface and high-contrast presentation, the work resonates as both fine art photography and Pop Art iconography. Perfect for collectors of music-inspired art and interior designers alike, this piece makes a bold statement in modern living rooms, offices, recording studios, or hospitality spaces. This is Edition 1 of 12, in a limited edition series.

"Persephone" contemporary and elegant, mixed media photography on wood, hi-gloss
By Hugo Garcia-Urrutia
Located in Dallas, TX
This is a beautiful contemporary photograph of a Greek sculpture. The photograph is processed in a way that the grain of the wood eventually becomes the "canvas" and backdrop for this image. It is processed directly on Baltic birch wood using archival inks and is then sealed with a durable Hi-gloss lacquer. HUGO G. URRUTIA + MK SEMOS Urrutia is an interdisciplinary artist, interested in the cross-pollination between art and architecture. A graduate and active member of the Architectural Association in the United Kingdom, Urrutia’s work creates a distinct spatiality located at the interstice of art and architecture. His work explores and uses the technology for design and fabrication, with a sensitive and conscious reminder of the creativity of human endeavor. Urrutia graduated from the Architectural Association in 2013, earning a Master of Architecture in the Design & Make programme. In 2000, he graduated from Texas Tech University, with a Bachelor of Architecture and Design and received the 2000 Outstanding Thesis Award. In 2004, he founded Decorazon Gallery in Dallas’ historic Bishop Arts District where he directed, curated and exhibited numerous art/architectural exhibitions for national and international artists. His personal artwork has been exhibited in the United States, United Kingdom, Thailand, Colombia, and Hong Kong. His participation in art and architectural competitions and public projects include; the AIA Cincinnati, where he received the Design Award for the 2000 National Urban Poetry I competition and the 2005 ARQUINE - International Architecture Competition in Mexico City. His art installations – The Mexican Tsunami, and Making a Killing – have both been featured at the Art Santa Fe 2010 Contemporary Art Fair, curated by Charlotte Jackson...
