"Jump Into Love" at Art Miami 2024: My Collaboration with Half Japanese
“Jump Into Love”
Originally commission by Half Japanese, the rock band fronted by Jad Fair, as an album cover
Baltic birch, measures 30” x 30”
The artwork was created by Gary Taxali as part of his collaboration with the legendary band Half Japanese for one of their album covers. Taxali’s signature style of vintage-inspired pop art, combined with his whimsical and sometimes surreal imagery, perfectly complements the band’s raw, experimental sound. This piece is a great example of how art and music intersect—where the artwork not only represents the album but also tells its own story of creativity, humour, and emotion. It reflects Taxali’s knack for evoking nostalgia while delivering a fresh perspective.
