Music and art merge as the signature Life is Beautiful bright colorways come to life by UK-based artist,Lakwena Maciver, who transforms the traditional lineup poster into a reimagined illustrative masterpiece. Focusing on the concept of eternity, Lakwena gives the poster a powerful makeover by designing it to be two-sided that's both bold and futuristic. No matter how the posters are placed, there will be continuity."This collaboration represents what Life is Beautiful means tomea very powerful message of defiance, and a decision to seek out the glimpses of beauty in the transience of this life,"said Lakwena Maciver.
