Nymphomaniac poster
The stripped-down labial brackets advertising Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac are of a piece with the minimalist monochrome packaging for curator Neville Wakefield’s 2006 highbrow porn compendium, Destricted.

Annie and Bjarne Melgaard: Russian Kiss
Annie teamed up with Norwegian art provocateur Bjarne Melgaard for gay rights protest track Russian Kiss. While Melgaard’s paintings typically explode with all things phallic, these hot orange lips have the same iconic appeal as John Pasche’s Rolling Stones logo.

Only Lovers Left Alive poster
Grace O’Connor is an apt choice to create a poster for Jim Jarmusch’s vampire-rockers film Only Lovers Left Alive. Her previous paintings include portraits of a gang of metal kids who once ruled teenage hearts in her small American town but never quite accepted growing old.

The Grand Budapest Hotel poster

Ex Hex – Hot and Cold
This sassy abstract sleeve for new glam trio Ex Hex’s single Hot And Cold is like Fernand Léger reimagined by Keith Haring. Its dancing geometries are where the French modernist’s “mechanical” paintings meet Haring’s 1980s graffiti styles.
