This week I had the absolute 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. For founding member and bassist of 2Tone royalty The Specials, this is the first time he has brought his work to the Steel City, 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 and spends his time painting when he’s not performing. Original pieces featuring [cont...] at the gallery include images of The Specials, a painting of Panter’s late friend Amy Winehouse and works from his ‘Cassettes’ and ‘Americana’ series. Just like McKee, Panter is influenced by pop culture and includes many references. However, his work is mainly a fusion of iconography and British pop art. 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 online on his website
(horacepanterart.com).
Page 4: Brutus Trimfit x Dr Martens
This year classic trimfit shirt wear pioneers Brutus teamed up with legendary Dr Martens to create a series of collaborative shirts for both men and women. The two limited edition styles, in Oxblood and contrasting Yellow Tartan, are reminiscent of and 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, unique Brutus Trimfit spec and are made of quality Nevapress PolyCotton. Each shirt is pressed, darted and fitted in its packaging and comes accompanied by a pocket square in the opposing tartan. The shirts are priced at a respectable recommended retail price of £55 due to the limited edition status of the items. Both Brutus Trimfit and Dr Martens share histories intertwined with the Mod and skinhead subcultures, and these collaborative shirts encapsulate that particular heritage of music, style and attitude.
