Russell Young MICK JAGGER (DREAMLAND) For Sale

Mick Jagger

Russell Young's Mick Jagger portraits extend his celebrity iconography practice into rock and roll, presenting the Rolling Stones frontman across colorways produced from 2011 through his most recent 2023 "Dreamland" releases. Jagger — a figure whose six-decade career has been defined as much by the deliberate cultivation of image as by music itself — is a natural subject for Young's recurring interest in the mechanics of fame, sitting alongside his portraits of Bowie, Elvis, and Jim Morrison as part of a broader body of work examining music's most image-conscious performers.

Early works in the series, including "Mick Jagger (Red Lips)" from 2011, isolate Jagger's most recognizable physical feature against bold magenta and black grounds, while the 2023 "Dreamland" works — produced in colorways including Devil Pink, Flash Blue, and Storm Silver — present the artist through Young's more recent hand-pulled oil-based ink process, incorporating a fur parka image drawn from Terry O'Neill's archive of rock photography. Across both eras, Young's technique remains constant: acrylic and hand-pulled ink screenprinting on linen, finished with individually applied diamond dust crystals that catch light unpredictably across the textured surface.

Jagger's enduring relevance — still performing and touring more than sixty years into his career — gives the series a different temporal register than Young's portraits of deceased icons, adding a note of ongoing cultural currency to works that otherwise share the same visual vocabulary as his Marilyn, Bardot, and Taylor series. Several Jagger works exist as unique impressions and large-format diptychs, reflecting Young's continued expansion of the subject across scale and format.
