West Contemporary Editions has released 16 images by world-renowned rock photographer Denis O’Regan to support Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity).

 ’69 days’ is a retrospective body of work featuring some of music’s most famous names and faces. 

LONDON (UK) Capital-based veteran gallerists West Contemporary Editions and legendary British music photographer Denis O’Regan - known for his official work with David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and Queen amongst many others - will team up for the ’69 days’ project, a campaign to raise vital funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity), starting in October. Over 69 days (from 24 October 24 2022 to 1 January 2023), West Contemporary Editions will host a sales campaign via their website using nine classic beloved images of ground-breaking musicians including David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and Bob Marley - and a further six never-before-seen nor released images, all priced between £1440-£9000, each one in a limited edition of just ten prints. 10% of the sale price of each print sold during this period will be donated to GOSH Charity, which supports seriously ill children treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). West Contemporary Editions have also agreed to match the donation percentage for any works of O’Regan’s sold during this special campaign period.

Not limited to the aforementioned bastions of musical history, the prolific documentarian’s works within the Punk, New Romanticism, Grunge and Heavy Metal movements have earned him a nearly incomparable CV of world tours, working credits at cultural behemoth moments including Live Aid and the Concert For Diana, official photographer placements for The Who, Kiss, Neil Diamond, Pink Floyd, The Bee Gees and Thin Lizzy - and a front seat in the tour bus of musical royalty. It is certainly no exaggeration to say that Denis O’Regan is one of the most important music photographers of all time.

An experienced exhibition artist and widely published photographer, Denis O’Regan was appointed as the first ever Artist In Residence at the Royal Albert Hall in 2021.

The ‘69 days’ aspect of the project is personally relevant to the artist as  O’Regan will be turning 69 years old this year.  69 was also the age long-term O’Regan collaborator David Bowie was at his untimely passing, and 1969 is a special year for Bowie fans, with the release of the incredible ‘Space Oddity’. 1969 is also the year of Woodstock, ‘Let It Bleed’ by The Rolling Stones (another O’Regan subject), and their single ‘Honky Tonk Women’.

This collaboration between Denis O’Regan, West Contemporary Editions and GOSH Charity, all based in London, is an opportunity to celebrate the best of British, a storied and unparalleled career in music and three genuinely world-leading domestic institutions in the way of artist, gallery, and charity.

London Art Portrait People

British artist Carne Griffiths to officially release a portrait of HRH Queen Elizabeth II, to mark the Platinum Jubilee in 2022, with the original painting already sold for £25,000 at The Anderson Foundation Christmas multi-charity luncheon. Now considered one of the foremost young contemporary British painters and famed for his creative use of non-traditional mediums such as tea, ink and alcohol, Carne Griffiths is to release a special portrait of HRH The Queen in 2022, with £150 from each sale of the limited edition prints to go to the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity). The money raised will help support the most urgent needs of Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), of which the Queen is the patron. It could fund research into pioneering new treatments for children, provide the most up-to-date medical equipment, fund support services for children and their families, and support the essential rebuilding and refurbishment of the hospital. This globally admired official charity partner for the project is an apt and personal choice for the artist, having had first-hand experience of the care, love and support the hospital provides to children and families. Having become a unique attraction in the art world by distinctively combining often overlooked media with an impressive traditional skillset, Liverpool-born Griffiths is a former creative director and gold wire embroidery designer with an enviable list of accolades and creative achievements. Alongside designing the uniforms in the films Valkyrie, The Last King of Scotland, and notably, the ‘Red Death Coat’ used in The Phantom of the Opera – this is not the artist’s Royal introduction, having proudly had his work featured on the embroidered cover of the 80th Royal Variety Performance programme in 2008. 

The Anderson Foundation’s Christmas Luncheon, held at the glamorous Rosewood Hotel in London on December 3rd 2021, hosted the sale of the prestigious original artwork, selling for an impressive £25,000 with all proceeds of the day going to a number of charities, including £20,000 from the sale of the original artwork benefitting GOSH Charity. ‘The Platinum Queen’ is set to be released to the public at 12pm on the 4th June 2022, at the height of the bank holiday weekend celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II in 1952, via a limited edition print run of highly exclusive hand created and embellished prints based upon the original artwork produced by the artist. The limited edition prints, 70 in total (plus 20 Artist Proofs), one for each year of HRH The Queen’s time as British monarch - will characteristically for Carne Griffiths be entirely unique. Each piece will be hand-finished by the artist, produced using mixed media and with three screen-printed layers (a fluorescent, diamond dust, and a genuine platinum leaf layer) making each one a completely unique artwork. 

 The artworks have been produced at famous London print-house, Jealous Gallery, a Shoreditch and East London institution itself who are also no strangers to working with royalty due to their close working association to The Royal Academy and The V&A. The prints themselves will be available at £1550 with £150 of each sale going to GOSH Charity. UK based gallerists and art consultancy West Contemporary Editions, a two-decade industry veteran known for innovative collaborations with The Royal Albert Hall, Dubai Opera House and The Stafford Hotel, as well as works of Banksy, Marc Quinn, Fin DAC and Mick Rock, are charged with hosting the prestigious release online. They will be accepting pre-orders, with early adopters and buyers receiving a certificate of authenticity signed by West Contemporary founder, Liam West FRSA. ‘This is an incredibly special release, a celebration of British artistry, institution, and history, produced by a globally collected artist and with a percentage of all sales going to a very much deserving charity partner. To mark the Platinum Jubilee in 2022 in this way and celebrate her majesty's 70 year reign is an honour. Being able to officially partner with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity for the project, and support their ongoing wonderful work, is a beautiful opportunity for us to use art for good’.
