About the Item

This striking silkscreen print is part of a suite of three works that pay homage to one of the most iconic figures in rock history. Rendered in bold contrasts of silver, black, and gray, the portrait captures Hendrix’s enigmatic presence with both graphic intensity and subtle tonal variation. The artist transforms Hendrix’s distinctive features and legendary hair into a dynamic field of flowing lines, almost flame-like in their rhythm, suggesting both the energy of his music and the ephemeral brilliance of his life. The silver background gives the image a metallic shimmer, echoing both the psychedelic aura of the late 1960s and the timeless, almost mythic quality Hendrix holds in cultural memory. The edition has long since been sold out.

During that time, he worked on the artwork for albums by Capitol artists such as the Beatles and the Beach Boys.[5] He also oversaw the design of the psychedelic posters for the Pinnacle Shrine exposition.

Signed and Numbered Silk Screen Print of Jimmy Hendrix by Larry Smart
By Larry Smart
Located in Little Burstead, Essex
We have the last few of these stunning silkscreens by Larry Smart. Larry came to us just a short while before his untimely death with a proposition to publish this print and to make a signed and numbered edition of 200 in fine art quality silkscreens. Sadly Larry was only to sign the first 50 before he was prematurely taken from us, so the edition is very small, just 50 pieces. Larry, you will be missed by true art lovers the world over! Larry was a friend of Jimmy Hendrix...
