Executed with dye sublimation on aluminum, the piece presents a vivid, hyper-polished surface that merges music history with fine art precision. The composition layers iconic Marshall, Ampeg, and Fender amplifiers, arranged like a wall of sound. McDermott elevates these utilitarian objects into cultural icons, emphasizing their graphic grids, metallic textures, and tactile speaker cloths. The saturated color palette of deep blacks, rich charcoals, and electric golden tones against vibrant turquoise accents adds a sleek, modern punch—making the work equally at home in a luxury living space, recording studio, or hospitality interior. Like the amplifiers themselves, Mixed Amps resonates with both raw power and stylish minimalism. It speaks to collectors of music-inspired art as well as interior designers seeking bold statement pieces that bridge photography, design, and rock-and-roll mythology.
