About the Item

Scott McDermott "Bass Rings" Dye sublimation on aluminium, flush mounted 30 x 24 inches / 76 x 61 cm Scott McDermott’s Bass Rings, from his acclaimed Backline series, transforms the raw power of live music into a work of fine art Pop minimalism. The composition isolates the circular speaker cone of a bass amp, its concentric ripples captured in razor-sharp detail and printed with dye sublimation on aluminum for a luminous, durable finish. The result is an image that hums with energy and rhythm. The repeating rings create an optical vibration, recalling both the physical thrum of bass frequencies and the Op Art sensibility of artists like Bridget Riley or Victor Vasarely. By magnifying this utilitarian object of rock-and-roll culture, McDermott elevates it into a visual icon of sound itself—equal parts industrial, abstract, and cultural artifact. Rendered in a striking monochrome palette of black, white and red, the work has a cool, metallic aesthetic that enhances its bold modernist appeal. The reflective aluminum surface amplifies these tones, shifting with light to create a dynamic, almost kinetic quality. With its crisp palette and graphic clarity, Bass Rings is a powerful focal point for contemporary interiors. Collectors, interior designers, and music enthusiasts alike will appreciate the work’s ability to merge Pop Art’s bold visual language with the tactile nostalgia of vintage sound equipment. A statement piece that is at once sleek, modern, and undeniably rock-and-roll. This is Edition 1 of 12, in a limited edition series.
