Adapted from Art Now LA from an account of a joint exhibition at the Edwards-Lowell Gallery in 2019:
Taz, Duardo, and RISK are all iconic in their own right in the contemporary art world, but especially dear to this golden state of California. Jim “TAZ” Evans is often referred to as the “rock poster god,” having worked with names such as Nirvana, The Ramones, Wu-Tang Clan, Bob Dylan, and countless others. Over the years, Taz has designed album covers, film posters, and currently is owner and creative director of Division 13 Design Group with clients such as Sony, DreamWorks, Paramount, and many more. Works being shown for the opening include collaborations made from 1985-1989 between TAZ and LA superstar printer Richard Duardo, who passed away in 2014 at the age of 62. The late Richard Duardo was a well-known throughout North America as being a master printer, artist, and pivotal figure of Chicano art community. Together, TAZ and Duardo created extremely limited prints of some of Hollywood’s icons, including James Dean, Marilyn, Elvis, Brando, and Hendrix. The works are have a vintage appeal with a modern flavor, and dazzle in their silk-screened layers.
