The Adoration Trilogy - Searching for Apollo

Alistair Morrison’s ‘The Adoration Trilogy - Searching for Apollo’ comes to Canaletto, east London’s stunning new residential tower.
For the last two Saturdays in April, members of the public are invited to enjoy Morrison’s astonishing altarpiece-style artwork which stands four metres high, and transports observers through a golden age of music.

The photographic installation features some of the most historic characters in the music industry, including Sir Elton John, Nile Rodgers, Sir Rod Stewart, Sir Paul McCartney and Jon Bon Jovi. The piece is inspired by Morrison’s beginnings as a photographer; “My very first published photographs were a series of portraits of London buskers so, as part of my legacy as an artist, it seemed fitting to photograph these legendary musicians in a way that symbolised their musical roots.” Thanks to a jukebox installed at the base of the art piece, viewers are able to enjoy listening to music of the legends whilst viewing the artwork!

It is the first in the Trilogy, with influential female musicians featured in the second piece and the third depicting today’s rising stars.

The Adoration Trilogy will be open for public viewing during the last two Saturdays in April.
