Ferrari Sheppard marks the Miles Davis Centenary with a new artwork celebrating the legendary jazz musician.

All Blues is one of two recent paintings by the Chicago-born artist, exploring the "mythology of cool" that surrounds Davis and the history of jazz. This piece takes its title from a track that first appeared on Davis' influential 1959 album Kind of Blue. Sheppard's expressive blend of abstraction and figuration finds a natural subject in the improvisation, restraint and swagger of jazz, and here, a palette of atmospheric blues captures the music's meditative groove and understated cool. Painted in 2026, this is the first time the work has been editioned.

Made in close collaboration with the artist at our London print house, Make-Ready, this signed limited edition print of 100 is finished with three silkscreen layers: a matte varnish seal, gold shimmer details and white details. It is designed as a companion to Round Midnight, and the two works are designed to be collected together.

Ferrari Sheppard2 collaborationsFerrari Sheppard paints scenes from domestic life in acrylic, charcoal and 24-karat gold leaf. Wide, rough-edged brush strokes blur figuration and abstraction, giving each canvas a sense of physical movement. In the works, Sheppard centres Black narratives. The Americana series from 2019 for example depicts 1950s America from the perspective of African-American children. Focusing on their hand-games and cultural traditions of call and response, the artist celebrates the resilience and beauty of humanity, in spite of the violence perpetrated against Black people in America at the time. In his work as a writer, photographer, record producer and activist, Sheppard further explores racial and ethnic identity.
