About the Item

Scott McDermott’s "RHCB B-9 Case 4" transforms the raw energy of rock-and-roll into a vivid Pop Art statement. Featuring a dynamic arrangement musical gear especially for the famous band Red hot Chili Peppers — the work celebrates the tools that have shaped the sound of generations of music. Each speaker is framed within its own block of saturated color. This striking grid creates a visual rhythm that mirrors the sonic layering these devices produce on stage. The result is both a cultural archive of iconic gear and a cool, contemporary artwork with bold optical impact. Part of McDermott’s acclaimed Backline series, which immortalizes the visual language of amps, guitars, and stage equipment, "RHCB B-9 Case 4" elevates utilitarian objects of music into collectible fine art. With its Pop Art aesthetic, sharp photographic detail, and vibrant palette, this editioned work resonates with musicians, designers, and collectors seeking a powerful statement piece that bridges music history and modern interior design. Rendered on a grand scale and in vivid detail, "Backline Series" showcases the iconic machines that revolutionized the music industry forever. The gear on display - legendary brands like Gibson, Marshall, Vox and Fender - didn't just power music; they transformed it. McDermott's lens canonizes these instruments as cultural icons, their unmistakable resonance echoing through countless hit records and leaving an indelible mark on music lovers across every genre. In this series, McDermott employs a straightforward photographic approach, capturing road-worn guitars, amplifiers, drums, and other equipment from bands, small clubs, and recording studios. He presents these objects with a pop art color twist, elevating them from mere tools to central subjects of artistic expression. The large-scale prints allow viewers to appreciate the intricate details and textures, highlighting the wear and tear that tell the stories of countless performances. By focusing on the authentic feel of working equipment, Scott McDermott's "The Backline Series" offers a fresh perspective on the unsung heroes of the music world, inviting viewers to recognize and appreciate the artistry inherent in the instruments themselves. This is Edition 1 of 12, in a limited edition series.
