Over the weekend, the Known Gallery in Los Angeles hosted the opening for an exhibition from Dennis Morris, a UK-based photographer especially known for his work in the music industry. This particular showing focuses on his iconic shots of Bob Marley, a seminal period of time in his young career when he toured with the Jamaican singer-songwriter. The night also featured the release of a collaboration print with Shepard Fairey.

Children of a Lesser God furthers the artist’s exploration into notions of control and release as well as the fundamental need for survival, love and liberty. Vaughn’s new works manifest these concepts through bleak, dystopian cityscapes juxtaposed with child-like imagery and untouched scenes of nature.
Through the contrast of minutely detailed wildlife and child superheroes against urban backdrops, Vaughn’s new body of work provides an eerily familiar setting that both comforting and and inspiring to his audience.
