I had the pleasure of visiting the opening night of Horace Panter’s latest exhibition, ‘Nostalgia (Ain’t What It Used To Be)’, at A Month of Sunday’s Gallery by Sheffield legend Pete McKee, which is home to Panter’s works for the next few weeks. This is the first time he has brought his work to the Sheffield, and the furthest he has exhibited his latest artworks in the North of England. Panter, who qualified as an art teacher back in the 1990’s, has since become a professional artist. Original pieces featuring at the gallery include images of The Specials, a painting of Panter’s late friend Amy Winehouse and works from his ‘Americana’ series. Panter is influenced by pop culture and includes many references. Prints of Panter’s work are available in a limited quantity for the lucky few who can make it to the gallery, but there is also a small range of Panter’s work available to purchase on his website.
Page 4: Brutus Trimfit x Dr Martens
This year classic shirt wear pioneers Brutus joined up with legendary Dr Martens to create a series of collaborative shirts for both men and women. The two styles, in Oxblood and contrasting Yellow Tartan, match perfectly with a pair of Oxblood 1460 Dr Marten boots with either the standard black of striking yellow laces. The shirts are made to the regular Brutus Trimfit spec. Each shirt is pressed, darted and fitted in its packaging and with a pocket square in the opposing tartan. The shirts are priced at a RRP of £55 due to the limited edition status of the items. Both Brutus Trimfit and Dr Martens share histories intertwined with the skinhead subculture, and these collaborative shirts encapsulate that particular heritage of style and attitude.
