Run To Me: Derek Ridgers + Sam Jackson features photos and artwork inspired by youth and counter-culture
Derek: “This couple were photographed at a Psychic TV gig on boat party travelling down the Thames in 1986.”
Derek Ridgers is one of NME’s most legendary photographers. He worked for the magazine in the 1970s and 1980s, capturing the rise and fall of punk, as well as documenting London’s club kids, new romantics and musical troublemakers, from Nick Cave to Grace Jones. His latest exhibition Run To Me, is a collaborative work with painter Sam Jackson and pulls together subcultural shots from throughout his career, along with Jackson’s oil paintings inspired by punk, hip-hop and grime, as well as cult authors like JG Ballard.

Run To Me runs until November 11 at Charlie Smith London, 336 Old Street, EC1V 9DR.
