Provenance
The vendor owned the music PR firm 'Hall Or Nothing PR' which oversaw the publicity for The Stone Roses 1995 album "Second Coming", they also managed PR for John Squire's solo albums and his work as a fine artist. This piece was purchased by the vendor at the artist's 'Noise' Exhibition in London, 2008.

John Squire built a prolific music career in the 1980's through to the 2000's; as guitarist and founding member of The Stone Roses, founder of The Seahorses, and releasing two solo albums. Squire created the instantly recognisable album covers for The Stone Roses and Second Coming, the former heavily influenced by the works of Jackson Pollock.

The present piece draws inspiration from conversations between strangers overheard in and around Manchester. John Squire used the most thought-provoking words and phrases as a basis for some of his paintings.
