1960’s
Aluminium Art
About: This reproduction of a neon artwork captures a pivotal moment in Elvis Presley’s life — his 1960 de-mob mugshot, taken just as he prepared to leave the army and step into a new chapter of fame. In this striking piece, the King confidently holds a glowing neon sign that playfully references his breakthrough hit “Heartbreak Hotel” — the song that launched him into rock ‘n’ roll legend in 1956.
Yet beneath the rebellious swagger lies a deeper spiritual undercurrent. The neon sign reading “Sorry, No Vacancy” becomes a modern parable: Even the biggest star in the world can find no room at the inn. Elvis stands at the threshold of leaving the army behind and stepping into superstardom. In the bright lights of fame, he’s both the ultimate star and a man who still feels the loneliness that often comes with it.
Made with signature aluminium and glowing neon, the piece turns a simple mugshot into something powerful and timeless. It quietly reminds us how quickly worldly success can come and go, and how even the biggest stars long for something deeper and more lasting.

About: This thought provoking art draws inspiration from the iconic Beatles record, "Revolution", which captured the essence of rebellion with its infectious guitar riffs and defiant lyrics. It became an anthem of the anti-establishment movement in the late 1960s, reminding us to question authority and embrace change. It also finds its groove in the powerful counterculture track, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" by Gil Scott Heron. Through his biting social commentary, he emphasizes that change and revolution will not be conveniently broadcasted and consumed like an entertainment spectacle and that it requires active participation and cannot be passively observed on a television screen.
Enter the artwork itself – a portable black and white Sony TV from the late 1960s, recreated with skillful neon glass tubes outlining its form. The backdrop flaunts horizontal lines - a nostalgic sight on old-school black and white TVs of that era. On this TV screen, you'll witness The Beatles rocking out on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964. It was a historic moment, drawing a staggering 73 million people in front of their TV sets. The pop culture revolution had begun…. The artwork seamlessly combines all these influences into a captivating story. It embraces the power of the past and reminds us of the transformative potential within our modern world.

About: This mugshot was taken in June 1967. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards appeared before magistrates in Chichester, West Sussex, charged with offences.

During the police raid, officers took away a number of items including Chinese joss sticks suspected of masking the sweet smell and pudding basins holding cigarette ash! Both Jagger and Richards pleaded not guilty and were released on bail. Their sentences were reduced to a conditional discharge.

About: This was Inspired by the 1960’s space race and Soviet iconography: Yuri Gagarin was a Soviet cosmonaut. He became the first human to journey into outer space when his Vostok spacecraft completed one orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961. Some sources claimed that Gagarin had remarked during the flight “I don’t see any God up here.” But no such words were recorded in the official transcript of the flight and his friends later said the phrase had originated from anti-religious Soviet propaganda.

Neon Art
About:
Sinatra swagger from Blue Eyes himself himself dodging a nuclear bomb under neon lights. Inspired by Sinatra's iconic "That's Life" and its recent resurgence in the 2019 Joker movie, this artwork carries personal meaning for the artist, weaving multiple layers of clever messages and symbolism.
At the center, we see Sinatra superimposed on the classic Warner Brothers Looney Tunes "That's All Folks" ending sequence. A stark contrast unfolds against this familiar cartoon backdrop: a nuclear bomb explodes in the background, juxtaposed with a vibrant magenta neon sign pulsating with Sinatra's signature lyric, "That's Life Folks."
This imagery represents the harsh realities of life. When faced with setbacks and challenges, akin to the metaphorical "nuclear bomb," going off, the artwork suggests resilience and perseverance.
Life throws "nuclear bombs," the artist says, “But like Frank says in the song, you gotta dust yourself off and get back in the race.”
Below: Watch Frank Sinatra perform “That’s Life” and scenes from The Joker which inspired this piece:

About:The original artworks in this series were a collab with pele himself and personally co-signed and premiered at the landmark exhibition “Pelé: Art, Life, Football” at Halcyon Gallery, London, in 2015 to celebrate the football legend’s 75th birthday. The works were later exhibited at the National Football Museum in Manchester (2017–2018).
Inspired by Andy Warhol’s iconic 1978 Athletes series, Louis Sidoli reinterprets the Brazilian icon through a bold, contemporary lens. The imagery draws from a rare 1972 vintage Puma football boots advertisement and an original 1970s Pelé-endorsed Spalding “Handler” football. The artwork also features his legendary No. 10 shirt.
The title pays playful homage to Warhol’s famous “15 minutes of fame” quote. As Warhol once said of Pelé: Instead of 15 minutes, he would be famous for 15 centuries — a prediction that perfectly captures the timeless greatness of the greatest player the game has ever known.
Rendered in Sidoli’s signature mixed-media style on brushed aluminium with high gloss, this piece fuses pop art energy, sporting heritage, and modern industrial edge into a powerful celebration of football royalty.
