Waymouth, Sharp & OZ

Compiled by Michael Organ, with the assistance of Nigel Waymouth Nigel Waymouth (b.1941) and Martin Sharp (1942-2013) were two of the many young artists drawn to London between 1966 and 1969, at the height of the so-called Swinging Sixties and as satirised in the original  Austin Powers movie. They produced some of the most significant psychedelic posters and artworks of the period, with many now considered classics of the genre and housed in international art galleries and museums. A recent cover story on Waymouth in the British music nostalgia magazine Shindig highlighted the artist's involvement in the London music, fashion and art scene at a time when Swinging London was a reality and the city was the centre of an artistic maelstrom. This young man and his colleagues were at the forefront of a revolution in graphic design, and their influence remains to this day.
