Come To The Sabbat is a week long festival of ‘Dark Arts’ expanding upon artist Jason Atomic’s ongoing ‘Satanic Mojo’ project, inspired by the continuing influence on pop culture of the occult revivals of 1960s, 70s & 80s.
The exhibition features original artwork for the Satanic Mojo Sigil by rock legend (and practicing witch) Jinx Dawson of 60s acid rock band Coven. Jinx is credited with being the person who introduced the 'Sign Of The Devil' horned hand pose to the music scene.
Alongside will be original artwork by respected horror movie poster artist Graham Humphreys who was also responsible for the Nightmare On Elm Street & Evil Dead poster campaigns and The Cramps classic “Off The Bone” LP
Further highlights include : Original art by the notorious “Vampire Of Paris” serial killer Nico Claux; Prints by ‘forgotten’ surrealist Felix Labisse inspired by his interest in witchcraft and demonology; Selected work from Satanic Mojo Comix, including submissions by 2000AD & Deadline stars Garry Leach & Shaky Kane; and the Automatic drawings by UK underground legend Savage Pencil; and many other talented artists.
Satanic Mojo takes it's name from a notoriously potent batch of black LSD that warped the minds of it’s users with insane, arcane and apocalyptic visions as the ’Summer Of love’ made way for the years of ‘Bad Craziness’ that followed. We celebrate these legendary black blotters with “Black Acid Black Light” psychedelic black light posters, paintings & UV installations including works by Electric Wizard cover artist Andrew Labanaris, and James ‘Gunsho’ Quigley.
Breathing life back into the 80s, we will be creating a special art installation called “Kid’s Room” replicating the bedroom of a “Satanic Panic” era heavy metal fan. Named after the late Kid Banano - a Milanese punk rocker and heavy metal fan. Raised Catholic he loved heavy metal, drugs and comic books and turned to black magick. He became part of the thriving 80s London underground squat/art scene and is a perfect example of the ‘Satanic Panic’ era. On display are several artefacts from his collection and examples of his handiwork.
Come To The Sabbat contains work of a graphic, erotic and satirical nature, suitable for open minded adult intellectuals only.
