This is the Big City Baby
Created in collaboration with Allison Mosshart (lead singer of The Kills), this spooky, magical cityscape is a signed silkscreen print from artist Dan Baldwin, available in a limited edition of 100.
'Alison Mosshart, lead singer of the band The Kills, wrote a piece called 'THIS IS THE BIG CITY BABY' when sitting with Jack White from the White Stripes. They had been sitting in New York by the wishing well fountain, and the events of that day prompted the written piece. It was then given to a project SFWAM (Songs For Words and Music) which is a charity-based literacy project with Jeff Antebi of Waxspolitation records, pairing artists with musicians - Tom Waites, Nick Cave and many more. Alison had been hanging on for several years waiting for the right artist to illustrate her piece, my image was inspired by her writing - the cats and freaks come out at night whilst the city sleeps, as the clock strikes 12am some magic occurs. It's quite a specific illustrative piece as it was a specific image for a project.' - Dan Baldwin.

About the artist
Dan Baldwin is a British contemporary artist known for ‘psychological landscapes’. By blending the abstract with the figurative, Baldwin creates artworks that intersect reality and fantasy.
Via recurring and often contradictory motifs that include everything from skeletons to swallows, flowers to firearms, and crucifixes to cartoon characters, Baldwin’s fierce aesthetic addresses big ideas in the realms of politics, religion, innocence and experience. Colour is a driving force in Baldwin’s works, offering a starting point to every composition, and earning him a reputation as an artist who ‘paints like a printmaker’.
Since 1998, Baldwin has produced 25 solo exhibitions in the USA, Europe and Middle East including, New York, Dublin and Beirut. His designs have been licensed for fashion usage, album art, book covers and for use on TV and film.
Baldwin has collaborated with the likes of Max Factor, British Airways, Pete Townsend and Paolo Nutini, and his art is owned by several notable collectors including Sir Elton John, Shepard Fairey, Sir Peter Jones, Gilbert and George, Damien Hirst, Mary Portas and Maxim and Liam Howlett from The Prodigy.
To celebrate working with Baldwin across two successful decades, we're exhibiting Dan Baldwin x Enter Gallery: 20 Years - Find out more
