I Love You Because

Categories:

When A-side B-side Gallery discovered that this summer marked the 60th anniversary of Elvis Presley going into Sun Studios and making his first ever recording they said:

"Let's have a party!"

30 artistic Elvis fans have contributed a painting, photo or drawing of The King and 30 others have written a personal tribute.  Chloe Mortimer and Harry Pye are curating the show and Chloe says: "Elvis Presley was strikingly handsome and his singing touched the hearts of millions.  For some, the Elvis story may have ended in 1977 but for me it goes on. He was always there for me and I find that even now he's always on my mind."

Catherine & Tinsel: "A-side B-side Gallery is proud to be the host of a show dedicated to the King of Rock and Roll. For 6 decades Elvis has inspired many artists including Peter Blake (who has made 6 shrines to Elvis) and Andy Warhol (whose double Elvis work recently sold for 37 million dollars). The contributors to "I Love You Because" are from all over the world, we hope we can squeeze everyone in and look forward to seeing you there!"

The first 500 visitors to the gallery will receive a free copy of "The Rebel magazine's Elvis Special" sponsored by Immprint.
