Hollywood Reloaded

HOFA Gallery

‘Hollywood Reloaded’ by Bran Symondson & Terry O’Neill, 2019. A special collaboration between Terry O’Neill and Bran Symondson presented by HOFA Gallery.

Acclaimed photographers Terry O’Neill and Bran Symondson have collaborated to present Hollywood Reloaded; a provocative new collection making its début at Annabel’s on 30 September. The collection brings a new angle on O’Neill’s black and white photographs from the 60s and 70s, with shots of legendary figures including Michael Caine and Brigitte Bardot holding guns. Symondson is known for turning items of fear and loathing into something of beauty and intrigue, which is the thinking behind this collaboration: O’Neill’s photos of armed celebrities are scattered with real bullet holes and his signature butterflies. ‘I was ensnared with how guns are almost glamourised in these classic photographs,’ he says. ‘The relationship between America and guns is obviously a very pertinent topic and this work gives both a flash back into the history of Hollywood’s fascination with gun wielding poses and also delivers my own message around choosing peace and beauty over war and hate.’ After launching at high-end hangout Annabel’s, the collection will move to the HOFA Gallery on Maddox Street, where it will remain on display throughout Frieze week. Until 14 October; thehouseoffineart.com
