'Joyland' — Fantasy Turns To Reality series by David Scott - A1
‘Joyland’ — Fantasy Turns To Reality series by David Scott x NMN
Exhibition Print, 300gsm Silk Card, A1 - 59.4cm x 84.1cm
1 of 1 original large-scale, full-colour, print from artist and designer David Scott’s ‘Fantasy Turns To Reality’ exhibition at No More Nowt HQ in February 2024.
Info:
Lurid, fluorescent, and acid-tinged, designer and graphic artist David Scott’s collaboration with No More Nowt is an arresting evocation of nineties club culture, captured in a series of wild, typography-heavy slogan posters that vividly capture the sugar-rush of the end-of-the-century dance music and nightlife scene.
Returning to his home town of Peterlee, David discovered No More Nowt, an organisation based in the town and dedicated to boosting arts and culture participation in County Durham’s underserved areas, making lasting changes by attracting locals to enjoy art experiences in their own communities.
With his work walking the line between a neon-tinted nostalgia and the heady future we could be living in had the club kids of the second summer of love had their dreams realised, for David the posters are deeply connected to his sense of place and abiding love of the North East cultural landscape.
“All the posters are personal to me in some way. Either my views on life and work, or my love of escapism and fantasy,” he said. “I think coming from the North East, and particularly East Durham, there is a constant visible reminder of how shit life can be, so I think my work is often me documenting the struggle versus the escapism wrapped up in silly slogans, hot pinks, and garish gradients.”
