27 club.
The 27 Club is a term in popular culture referring to famous musicians who, for various reasons, died at the age of 27. Among them are such iconic figures as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse.
narrative.
Each poster in the series is a separate diagnosis of the artist, reflecting their characteristic features and symbolism. The graphics are not traditional concert or advertising posters; rather, they represent a form of posthumous altar - an emotional tribute to outstanding individuals.
The analysis of individual posters reveals subtle symbols associated with each musician. For example, in the case of Jim Morrison a bathtub appears, symbolizing the place where he was found dead, while the descending ammunition into the depths of the ocean symbolizes both the death of Kurt Cobain and the iconic cover of the album “Nevermind”.
My poster work explores the intersection of emotion, symbolism, and visual storytelling. Each piece is a reflection of human sensitivity, dialogue between music, memory, and personal expression. I aim to capture the intangible: the inner energy of a subject, the atmosphere of sound, or the fleeting essence of a moment.
Through experimental composition, bold color palettes, and layered textures, I strive to create images that invite contemplation and evoke an emotional response. My posters are not just visual objects but personal interpretations - each one telling a story beyond the frame.
