John Dove & Molly White

John Dove,(born 29 August 1943, in Norwich, United Kingdom) and Molly White,(born 23 June 1944, in Norwich, United Kingdom) are two British artists who work together collaboratively. They are known for their distinctive Pop Art silkscreen prints and T-shirt artworks. Their work translates the contemporary cultural shift at the beginning of the 1960s of the convergence culture in Art, Music, Fashion and a sociopolitical world view.

Early works

John Dove studied Fine Art, Painting and Printmaking at Norwich School of Art in 1960-1964 .

Molly White studied Art and Design at Norwich School of Art in 1959-1961 and textiles at Manchester College of Art in 1962-1964.

The two first met while studying at Norwich school of Art in 1962. They moved to London in 1965. Molly White worked freelance on printed textiles. Most celebrated furnishing textile print was “Centrum” sold to Hull Traders Dering Street, London W1 in 1966.. Part-time teacher of Textile Printing at Maidenhead School of Art. John worked as a Free-lance Illustrator. Most celebrated illustration was “The Brando You Know”- a portrait of Marlon Brando from “The Wild One”, double-page spread Nova (UK magazine).1969. , The Art Directors at Nova, Harri Peccinotti and Bill Fallover commissioned drawings by Dove for the next 2 years. Part-time teacher of Drawing at Hornsey College of Art and at Sutton School Of Art. In 1966-1970 they joined a group of artists, filmmakers, sculptors and potters called the Chippenham Arts Group that rented a derelict factory in Cambridge Road Paddington NW6 London, from Brent Council. Pop Art printed shirts in collaboration with Jasper Shirts of Kingly Street W.1. Most celebrated was a Fair-isle sweater printed on front and back of a shirt so it appeared to be real - an early example of  Trompe l'eoil.  John Dove worked on prints, sculptures and drawings. His multiples, notably a giant 10ft 'Flying Duck'photographed in 1971 by Jim Arnould (Arts Council Collection) and Tim Street Porter for Domas magazine.The sculpture was included in the first international exhibition Multiple Art, '3 [towards infinity]' at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London E.1, 19 November 1970 - 3 January 1971.His “Liberty”sculpture commission 1970 for Mister Freedom boutique 20 Kensington Church Street, London was photographed for The Sunday Times Colour Supplement February 28th. 1971. Fantastic Food, ‘Giant Jelly’. sculpture photographed by Jim Arnould and Tim Street-Porter,  published in Vogue (“Fashions For Living”1970). Molly White’s screen-printed silk scarves were retailed in the flamboyant London Mayfair boutique, Mr. Fish. Printed linen scarves were sold at the Liberty (department store) Regent Street, London, Photographed by Chan for Vogue magazine 1969 (’You and Another Evenings Self’)

In 1968 John Dove and Molly White joined forces to design a printed tattoo underwear collection (with 24 silkscreens) on transparent clothing "Painless Tattoo" - another early example of Trompe l'eoil retailed by James Wedge and Pat Booth owners of Top Gear and Countdown boutiques in the Kings Road London - Was featured in Vogue and Nova (UK magazine). Caroline Baker. Fashion Editor of Nova wrote; “Give yourself a past with a painless tattoo. Tattoos have been the subject of so many sordid jokes, but some patterns can be quite beautiful in their own right. - funny old fashioned fantasies in faded blue on pink skin, smacking of seedy Eastern ports and rugged pasts." Subsequently retailed in Bloomingdale's store, New York. In the 60’s Tattoos were taboo. Dove and White’s Tattoo T-shirt designs elevated the tattoo from it’s traditional roots to a more street fashion/cutural level. Alice Hiller wrote in the T-shirt book (Ebury Press 1988): "Anthropologists term this technique of letting your T-shirt do the talking, the "new primitivism" and draw parallels between body painting in Polynesian culture and T-shirt wearing in the First World." Their collaboration with Booth and Wedge led them to create one of the most iconic T-shirts of the period, another experiment in Trompe l'eoil,  a screen-printed T-shirt made from a photograph by James Wedge of Pat’s breasts - The “Breasts T-shirt” was sold at “Countdown” in Kings Road, London and “Iains” Greenwich Village in New York under the ‘Aspidistra’ label. Later 70’s versions were in the Kitsch-22 collection.

Wonder Workshop

The success of the Painless Tattoo collection finally persuaded Dove and White to form a company working under the umbrella of a title that could be applied to any level of work in any genre. From 1970 onwards, the early designs were produced with a "Wonder Workshop" label. The company was registered 1st. May 1972 (registration no: 1660558). Wonder Workshop soon received much attention as their Black T-shirt collection achieved iconic status. From ‘The T-Shirt Book’ by Alice Hiller and John Gordon, Ebury Press, London 1988: “Wonder Workshop T-Shirts distilled the flamboyance of the early 70’s. Artists John Dove and Molly White started the label in 1970. Lou Reed, Mick Jagger, Marc Bolan and Paul McCartney were photographed in state of the art shirts like “Pin-up Girls” and “My Baby Loves The Western Movies”. Their hand-printed designs had a major influence on T-Shirt graphics. Sophisticated prints were realised through a pioneering use of photographic screens and photo-montage techniques that produced “Lips” and “Leopardskin Girls” in 1973 while the “Exploding Mickey” T combined skilled draughtsmanship with explosive colours to evoke the American Dream gone berserk.”

Molly had designed and printed a new painting of a Zebra stripe in 1968 as a black and white furnishing textile. They had used a green Leopard-skin lining in the Iggy Jacket and made drawings of Leopard and Tiger prints onto Kodatrace, then screen-printed the designs in garish colours on cotton jersey T-shirts in 1969 as an anti-fur-trade protest. Printed Leopardskin had not been popular since the 30’s but suddenly here in 1971 there was a real enthusiasm for these Pop Art animal skin prints at Paradise Garage. Paul Gorman from “THE LOOK” 2009: “Paradise Garage became a focal point for creativity that year. New York Doll Sylvain Sylvain recalls hanging out at the store on a trip to London with his knitwear brand Truth & Soul, while the design team there included John Dove & Molly White.” Garish coloured animal prints became a central theme for many of the Wonder Workshop designs in the early 70’s and later with their company Modzart Jeans remained popular for the next 40 years or so. John & Molly continued to produce the black T-shirts with a Wonder Workshop label having secured the name Wonder Workshop with a registered trademark. These were made as special editions in individual boxes that included signed certificates and a short history of the T-shirt design. Made for Museums and galleries such as Tate Liverpool in January 2013.

Raw Power

In 1971 Dove and White created a leatherette jacket with a printed roaring leopard head on the back.  The jacket was purchased in London for Iggy Pop, photographed by the British photographer MIck Rock in 1972 for the sleeve of the 'Iggy and the Stooges' seminal album "Raw Power”.    In an interview Feb 9 2012 'The Flesh Machine' for Vice Magazine, Iggy Pop said about the Jacket "Hey its me! It's who I am “.  In 2013 Dove and White released a special edition of the Leatherette jacket with Paul Stolper Gallery in collaboration with Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons for 'Iggy Pop and the Stooges' 40 year celebration of "Raw Power" . Kawakubo, Dove and White also made a new collection of 4 T-shirts to celebrate the occasion: “Wear Your Freedom”, “Wild In the Streets”, “My Energy Comes From Freedom and a Rebellious Spirit”and “Live Free With Strong Will”. In July 2013,  Iggy Pop introduced his new "Raw Power" jacket on stage at Yoko Ono's "Meltdown" concert at the Royal Festival Hall. he said “I feel better”. In 2009 two final Leatherette jackets were made for Iggy’s Australian tour labelled as “Iggy Pop’s Jacket” and the other for The Paul Stolper Gallery labelled “I Got A Right”.

Another iconic T-shirt was “Wild Thing” made with the same Leopard Head print as the Leatherette Jacket .These were first retailed by Paradise Garage, 430 Kings Road London SW3. "John Dove and Molly White started out mixing all their own inks and in 1970 worked out how to print on Black T-shirts - commercially produced inks which did this, only became available in 1975 - and used the technique for the WILD THING T. Designed as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, it featured a roaring Leopard head with the words WILD THING underneath and was pirated from America to Brazil to become the first global T-shirt hit. Its success launched rhinestones as a major T-shirt fashion and by 1973 they were selling thousands of shirts under their Wonder Workshop label.". All designs were requisitioned by The Victoria and Albert Museum for the permanent British collection. The original drawing was purchased by the Murderme Collection.

Fabric of Pop

Fabric of Pop exhibition, 1974 Victorian and Albert Museum.UK Printed Cut 'n' Sew Kit Strawberry Jacket 

In 1971 John Dove and Molly White had created the Pop Art ‘Cut’N’Sew Kits’.  In 1974 the kits: ‘Strawberry’, ‘Marilyn’and ‘Silver Surfer’ and their Elvis Spotlight’,[13] ‘Wild Thing' and ‘My Baby Loves The Western Movies’ Pop fabrics were included in the exhibition 'Fabric of Pop’, (18th. July to 18th. August 1974) at the Victoria and Albert Museum, curated by Michael Regan. He was quoted in the catalogue; "Pop Art's Influence on textile and fashion design owed all its inspiration and much of its success to mass-produced urban culture. It found its full expression in the commercialism it poked fun at and came full circle by ending up in the pages of those glossy magazines that had originally provided Pop Art with much of its imagery"[16].   In RockStock magazine, Michael Regan said he rated The “Strawberry”[18] print as his favourite exhibit.  [17]Michael Shepherd, journalist at Arts Review said of ‘The Fabric Of Pop’: “it would be difficult to decide from some of the dress fabrics, which ones are genuinely inspired by the impulse of Art traditions”, in other words, it was difficult to separate art from fashion. In the following year, the Fabric Of Pop exhibition travelled to museums around the country. On 20th March 1972 John and Molly were offered a contract to produce the Pop Art ’Cut 'N' Sew’ Kits for the Sunday Times as a ’Sunday Times Special Offer’ (Times Newspapers Ltd, B.L. Marketing Ltd.) Order: 550 Strawberry, 350 Marilyn, 350 Elvis, 150 Jayne Mansfield, 100 Jackson Pollock kits but Dove and White could not produce the volume in the time allocated so they made the jackets in their own workshops in a luxury satin from Switzerland with Swarovski rhinestones for the London, New York and Los Angeles boutiques 'Granny Takes A Trip'. Paul McCartney had formed his new band “Wings” and requisitioned 6 “Strawberry” satin jackets for his first US tour with a ‘Macca’ appliqué embedded on the fronts of the jackets. He was photographed in the “Strawberry” for the cover of ‘Melody Maker’and a centre page pull-out poster in ‘Sounds’Music paper, Paul appeared on Top Of The Pops wearing the jacket….the jacket became known as The Strawberry Fields” Jacket. Tom Meighan of Kasabian famously wore one of Paul’s jackets on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury in 2009. The ‘Strawberry’ image is also produced as a fine art print on paper.

Kitsch-22 and Boy Blackmail.

John Krivine, the founder of BOY at 153 Kings Road, London SW3 visited the studio of John Dove and Molly White to offer a merger of the two companies with BOY as the London stockist for their KITSCH-22 designs. They decided to publish a mail-order catalogue to create a truly unique concept for the design and sale of BOY and KITSCH-22 originals. The John and Molly traditional black concept would be the style of the mail order catalogue. The BOY BLACKMAIL project was started by designing the format and commissioning a suitable printer - London Bridge Printing Co. The photographers were Derek Hutchins, Sheila Rock and Angelo Sitiriou. John Krivine wrote a foreword: "Kitsch-22 is a studio/factory located in North West London, "John Dove and Molly White and friends have created and developed a new concept in printed clothing which has made them the most successful and best respected in this field All their original designs are produced in limited editions and sold to selected shops throughout the UK and abroad. They don't advertise or solicit publicity and refuse to increase production to meet growing demand where they insist on printing and supervising every individual design themselves. The result is a quality and detail that is instantly recognisable to discerning punk rockers and teenage rebels everywhere. From December 1976 - 1978 they ran their own shop at 22 Woodstock Street (hence the name KITSCH-22) in the West End of London. This bizarre and garish establishment with it's vast following of day-glo juvenile barbarians caused consternation and outrage in neighbouring Bond Street but firmly established the name KITSCH-22 on the London fashion scene." The first edition of BOY BLACKMAIL sold out. In 1981 further designs were introduced and a second edition of 2000 books was published. Shinko Music of Tokyo imported the BOY BLACKMAIL collection and distributed catalogues throughout Japan. McLaren & Westwood’s ‘Seditionaries’ collection of T-shirts was included in the third edition. In 2013 the Face and Rebel T-shirts were shown in an exhibition called “DESIGN CULTURE FASHION” at London's Fashion and Textile Museum curated by Richard Chamberlain and Geoffrey Rayner of The Target Gallery London.




Art

John and Molly's approach to their art was embedded in the origin of Popular Culture and Silkscreen printing.  From 1971-1972 under the label "Wonder Workshop" they created printed t-shirts and jackets for the Iconic boutique Paradise Garage in London's "Worlds End”, owner was Trevor Myles, former British fashion entrepreneur/designer who in 1969-1970 with Tommy Roberts, The Electric Colour Company and Dinah Adams, also founded Mr Freedom. 1972-73,  John & Molly developed their Bomber Jackets and black T-shirt collections at Granny Takes A Trip, Kings Road, London and Granny’s in LA. They established a network for printed T-shirts and Jackets with Colette Neville Pret-a-porter for distribution in Europe until 1973 then changed direction with new Pop Art prints using full colour halftone screens, “Lips”, “Leopardskin Girls”, “Exploding Mickey Mouse”and “Nuclear Sunbather”. In 1975 - 76 Dove and White were locked in the studio to create their most groundbreaking collection of Street Clothes T-shirts (The Face T-shirts) and their Kitsch-22 collection including Modzart jeans. In ID magazine 1982 John Dove had said of the T-shirt: "The T-shirt is a product, a socialist revolution born out of the capitalist modern world. The t-shirt belongs to everyone - part of a universal language - more personal than a Pop poster, more poignant than a song – from it’s humble beginnings in the novelty genre through the Pop and the Literary to the Illusionary and the Surreal”.  During the following 20 years Dove and White continued to develop their montages and artwork on printed T-shirts jeans and jackets from their studio in Chelsea. They exhibited each year at The London Designer Shows, Paris Pret-a-Porter shows and others in the US, Netherlands and Japan. In 2017 -18  Dove and White made T-shirts as sculptures the ‘Big Tees’ - shown at their first solo exhibition in Japan curated by Yusuke Koishi;  'Sensibility and Wonder' at the Diesel Gallery in Shibuya Tokyo.  Dove/White continued to exhibit their archive of T-shirts with the Victoria and Albert Museum, The Arts Council and The Fashion and Textile Museum.

Face To Face

The first John Dove and Molly White major exhibition “Face To Face” 2012, Paul Stolper Gallery.  Paul Stolper review quote: ”They made a career in fashion that instigated the fusion and convergence of music, fashion, art and graphics. Their art was forged on the same silkscreen machines that artists were making prints on; they were inventing print technology not to make small editions to be framed, but to make editions in the thousands for people to wear on the street, at the time their ‘prints’ were made for t-shirts not canvas or paper". John and Molly wanted to make art that was democratic and affordable and had the potential to reach a global audience. In 2003 they closed their printed T-shirt company to work in the studio on fine art prints and sculptures. Dove and White were included in the Paul Stolper Gallery artists rostra and were exhibited internationally through the gallery. In 2012 Damien Hirst purchased Dove and White’s drawings, prints and collages for The ‘Murderme Collection’.
