Teenage Cancer Trust announce new mosh-pit art exhibition and print series

The Teenage Cancer Trust have announced a special new mosh-pit art exhibition and print series.

Open now (March 18) till April 9, the charity collection – which is entitled Good Energy – captures the “visceral bond of artist and crowd”, with contributions from YUNGBLUD, Bring Me The Horizon, Enter Shikari, Skunk Anansie, Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter and many more.

“Good energy is that feeling when a gig locks in and the crowd becomes part of the show,” explains Micky England, Head of Music Merchandise and E-Commerce. “We have created stunning limited edition artworks featuring Frank Carter crowd-surfing, an intimate gig with The 1975, Nia Archives lost in the spotlight and many more special moments chosen by the artists for this project. Each image has been captured by incredible photographers who really get live music and reinterpreted by experts White Duck Editions into beautiful silk screen prints.

“These are shots you want on your wall to remember how it felt to be right there in it and they are hand-signed by your favourite artists. Every sale helps fund vital support for young people with cancer across the UK.”

Frank Carter says of his photo, which sees him atop the crowd during Sex Pistols’ show at the Royal Albert Hall last year, “The picture was taken in the legendary Royal Albert Hall. I honestly never thought I would have a chance to play such an iconic venue and to play there with the Sex Pistols was a dream come true. Seeing a mosh-pit inside such a prestigious venue felt like the definition of Good Punk Energy and before I had time to reconsider I dived in.

“There is so much misery and suffering in the modern world, people want a chance to escape. When the crowd comes with the same energy as the band onstage and everyone moves as one… that’s where the best energy is born and it moves everyone present. It’s a gift to be part of that and is the reason why we do what we do.”
