Warhol, Lynch & Burroughs

The pictures of Andy Warhol, David Lynch and William S Burroughs are currently on show at The Photographer's Gallery in Oxford Circus. Not primarily known for their photography, the 3 capsule exhibitions cast an intimate and thought provoking light on the period from which each artist worked.

Warhol's photographs clearly refrence his fascination with advertising which we know so well from his painting and prints. His pictures are lively, full of energy and interestingly, people. 
David Lynch's photographs were unsurprisingly cinematic, dramatic and ominous

Some favourites of mine from Burroughs are too difficult to find pictures of, but involve roses being shoved in to coca cola bottles - a favourite practice of mine during my kooky university phase...
Probably London, 1972
