DREAM CARGO: 21 BOOK COVERS FOR JG BALLARD
A Stanley Donwood exhibition at the Lawrence Alkin gallery, London WC2H 8DA
JG Ballard: November 15, 1930 - April 19, 2009
Ballardian: adjective
- of James Graham Ballard (1930–2009), the British novelist, or his works
- resembling or suggestive of the conditions described in Ballard's novels and stories, esp. dystopian modernity, bleak man-made landscapes, and the psychological effects of technological, social or environmental developments.
"In the first weeks of 2012 I received an email from the publishers 4th Estate, asking if I would be interested in producing cover art and design for the novels and collected stories of JG Ballard. As Ballard is both arguably the finest and most peculiar novelist to work in English in the Twentieth Century, and perhaps my favourite writer, the outcome of that email was a foregone conclusion."
The exhibition Dream Cargo at the Lawrence Alkin Gallery continues until 25th April. All 21 of Stanley Donwood's book covers for Ballard's novels are available as either diasec-mounted lambda prints or as giclée prints.
