Icons No. 7 by Vito Piacente

Piacente’s fitting tribute to “the musical revolutionist”, Bob Marley speaks to the musicians deeply emotional and spiritual music. The  juxtaposition of portraits, first showing the joy and elation Marley experienced from his music. While spray paint tears cross a tormented image symbolic of the pain and struggle he endured in his youth.

Much like Piacente himself, those hardships remained as a mark on his creative soul. "A true tribute to freedom", as the raised fist of social revolution adorned in the colours of his homeland, further symbolizes the legend’s intent for us to “Get Up, Stand up”.
