Description of the Artwork

Imagine the Beatles is a layered, dreamlike tribute to John Lennon and The Beatles, rendered in Fair Fab's vibrant, chaotic style. The piece fuses collage, graffiti, and retro pop motifs into a rich visual tapestry. At its heart is a prominent red-orange guitar, within which the four Beatles appear in formal attire, captured in a moment of early fame.

Above them, a stylized portrait of John Lennon emerges, smiling, surrounded by swirling colors and graffiti scrawls—his presence blending memory, myth, and music. The handwritten lyric fragment "Just imagine life..." spirals down the left side, a poetic nod to his timeless anthem "Imagine".

The aesthetic is both nostalgic and rebellious: a visual echo of 1960s counterculture, transformed through modern digital layering and street-art expression.

Artistic Influences

• Pop art and 1960s psychedelic poster art

Curator’s Note

"Fair Fab’s ‘Imagine the Beatles’ is less a portrait and more a memory in motion—a collage of cultural resonance. Through the swirling chaos of ink, song, and style, Lennon’s presence is felt as both bandleader and dreamer. This artwork invites the viewer to imagine—not just the song—but the dream Lennon stood for: peace, unity, and unfiltered expression. It’s history and hope, spray-painted across time."
