Image size: 580mm x 580mm

Framed in a hand made, custom designed frame by Rob Bishop especially to compliment Tubular Bells.
Tubular Bells is the debut studio album by English multi-instrumentalist, composer and songwriter Mike Oldfield, released on 25 May 1973 as the first album on Virgin Records. Oldfield, who was 19 years old when it was recorded, played almost all the instruments on the mostly instrumental album. This iconic album cover with its waves crashing at the bottom, the vivid blue sky behind and the tubular bells seemingly suspended in mid air, has been amazingly transformed into an eye-catching and vivid piece of contemporary art.
“I create the image digitally using a variety of techniques such as drawing with a tablet, image manipulation and collage. I engrave the image onto 12mm maple veneered board to give a 3D reference image which I develop by sketching in details. Only then can each piece be hand painted by building up many layers of wood stains and lacquer. Each piece with its bespoke wooden frame has been created in its entirety from scratch. All of my work and frames are signed & thumb printed.”
