June 11, 2007 - nowherelimited.com - Mark your calendars: "Montezuma's Kiss" by Jermaine Rogers will be available exclusively at http://www.nowherelimited.com this Wednesday, June 13, 3pm EST! This gorgeous 6-color silkscreen is the first of several very limited edition projects that the artist will release through NOWhere Limited in 2007.
Printed on a delicate 65 lb. creamy parchment, "Montezuma's Kiss" measures approximately 22.5 x 27 inches and features a yellow to deep orange split-fade. The image depicts an intense vis-á-vis between Montezuma, the tragically doomed leader of the Aztec empire and Quetzalcoatl, the Mesoamerican winged serpent god of creation/re-birth. The edition for Montezuma's Kiss is limited to an astonishingly low 25 pieces signed and numbered by the artist. Jermaine's prints tend to sell out rather quick so it is best to be prompt. The price is set at $75.00US + shipping. This print is restricted to one per customer.

Jermaine Rogers is one of the most prolific and relevant artists working today. Since the early 90's, Rogers has created hundreds of prints for many musical acts such as Ween, Tool, Sonic Youth, Radiohead and David Bowie. Jermaine has produced work for corporate clients such as Microsoft, Scion,Verizon, Sony, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, The Houston Chronicle and more. The work Rogers will release through NOWhere Limited, however, marks a new phase of the artist's career, one focused directly on fine art.
Jermaine's distinctive use of linework is instantly recognizable, his use of color is daring and his imagery enigmatic, often humorous... always serious. Old pulp writings, inner-earth theory literature, Ancient and Biblical texts, 1970's children's media, old-time radio shows, wax museum figures and many other esoteric subjects serve as Rogers' source of inspiration. He produces silkscreens and other types of prints, paintings and limited edition sculpture. For more information on Jermaine Rogers see his website, http://www.jermainerogers.com.
