ASTRAM - Sgt. PEPPER'S - BEATLES

The iconic cover of the Beatles’ 1967 album is considered by critics to be their greatest work and one of the most influential albums in the history of popular music, ranking first, among other places, on the list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.”
Recorded over a period of 129 days, it was the first rock album to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, and its cover won a Grammy in the Graphic Arts category.

The drumhead bearing the album title was painted by fairground artist Joe Ephgrave, who had no idea at the time that he was creating one of the most iconic works of pop art. In one corner, a Shirley Temple doll wearing a sweater that read “Welcome The Rolling Stones” offered a discreet wink.

Ultimately, the Beatles embraced their own mythology while poking fun at it. Perhaps that is why it remains just as relevant today.

ASTRAM’s parody brings together the 20 characters (excluding the Beatles) who appeared—or did they?—on this cover, and playfully conceals certain details as a nod to the flourishing Flower Power era of one of the best rock bands in the world.

ASTRAM is the pseudonym of pop artist Richard Saint-Amans, who creates works depicting offbeat scenarios that leave each viewer free to interpret them according to their own imagination. His attachment to the pop years and those that followed is expressed through unique, ever-evolving creations.
His works are featured in several galleries and are owned by collectors around the world.

The colors here are set in the glass of this panel, embedded and protected from light and UV rays, bringing our fondest memories back to life with an optimally sharp image on vividly colored acrylic glass.

Thanks to its lacquered finish, the image can achieve maximum expressiveness from every angle. A photograph on acrylic glass resembles an art exhibition and lends each room a refined aesthetic.
The hanging system is concealed behind your image and keeps it a certain distance from the wall. This makes your photograph on acrylic glass appear to float freely on the wall, giving it the look of an art gallery.
