Keith Haynes
Keith’s work explores pop art in its purest form, using album sleeves, record labels, badges and, of course, beautiful vinyl records – the hard currency of pop culture – to create striking and witty pop art pieces with a strong graphic design aesthetic.

The Spines series
Many people think that Keith’s Spines series are photographs. That’s not the case. They are drawings which Keith makes from scratch, painstakingly recreating and combining each spine into the overall artwork. He has been known to make one deliberate mistake in each piece to demonstrate that it is not a reproduction.
Words and music
These pieces typically measure 70x 70 cm and many are presented in red perspex box frames. The seven inch singles that have been cut to form the letters of the words have ben specifically chosen because they reference the subject of the overall piece. For example, Love Is The Drug consists of songs about love and drugs. Geddit?
