“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” – Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970)

“Quando o poder do amor
Vencer o amor ao poder
O mundo conhecerá a paz.”

Hippie Jimi

Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970), além de ter sido um dos mais revolucionários músicos do século 20 e um dos mestres maiores da guitarra elétrica que já viveu, também se arriscava nas artes plásticas. Não chega aos pés de um Picasso ou Matisse, mas ainda assim é impressionante. Também através da expressão visual este espírito prodigioso do Hendrix pôs pra fora, em 27 anos de vida incandescente, sua fértil criatividade. Hoje alçado ao status de mito musical mor, lado a lado com Lennon, Marley, Janis ou Cobain, Jimi revela sua fascinante personalidade neste seu quadro “Drifter’s Escape”, que esteve em exposição durante o Festival International de Jazz de Montréal 2014:

“Hailed as the greatest guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone magazine in 2003, Hendrix recorded only four albums during his brief, incandescent career. Exploring the possibilities of amplification, pedals, wah-wah and feedback, he created a wholly new style, exploding the limits of the electric guitar as none other before or since, but it is above all his virtuoso musical talent that has left such an enduring and deep impression on our culture.

Drifter’s Escape is the title of a song written by Bob Dylan and covered by Hendrix. The song recounts the story of an outsider oppressed by society, put on trial and found guilty without knowing what the charges against him are. In this illustration, Hendrix offers us his visual interpretation of the story. In the upper right-hand corner, you can clearly see the outsider fleeing the injustices of society.”
