Limited edition fine art print - Deepest Blue Is It A Sin by Storm Thorgerson

Storm Thorgerson’s image for the cover of Deepest Blue's 2004 single 'Is It A Sin' is one of a series of twenty prints, each in an edition of twenty known as the 2020 Series. Storm describes for us how this image came about . . .

"Although on the surface it was a typical pop song about love won and lost, the lyrics asked ‘was it a sin to be with some one else so soon after a break up?’, turning the usual pedestrian pop fare on its head. So a different approach to the break-up of boy and girl was needed.

"We wanted to suggest that one of the parties was out of the picture, i.e., had left the frame, walking from the edge of a cosy picture of togetherness into the real world of loneliness. It seemed a novel but poetic way of showing boy-leaves-girl. The sadness of separation seemed heightened both by the wintry sun slanting across the dunes, and by the sharp edges of the broken frame."
