The great wait is over. This summer Oasis have finally reunited for their Live ’25 World Tour, more than 30 years after the release of their ground-breaking debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’. To mark this momentous occasion Rockarchive.com and the Lucy Bell Gallery are delighted to present their latest exhibition Jill Furmanovsky: Oasis 1994-2009.
Jill Furmanovsky’s photographs of Oasis are unrivalled. Jill captured the band’s rapid ascent to become the biggest cultural phenomenon in Britain for years. The photographs in this extensive exhibition chronicle their glory years, capturing live performances, recording sessions, time on the road, behind the scenes and provide a visual diary of that incredible period.
Jill took her first pictures of Oasis at the Cambridge Corn Exchange in December 1994 and soon after became their unofficial photographer. Over the next 15 years she was responsible for the most loved and iconic images of the band. Highlights in the exhibition include classic shots of Oasis off and onstage at their legendary Knebworth gigs in 1996, photographs taken during their Wonderwall video shoot in 1995, candid images shot during the album recordings of ‘Be Here Now’ and ‘Heathen Chemistry’ and their last ‘own’ gig at Bridlington just a week before they split up in Paris.
The exhibition period will also coincide with the launch of Jill’s latest book. Oasis: Trying to Find a Way out of Nowhere by Jill Furmanovsky and Noel Gallagher is published by Thames & Hudson on 23rd September and available to pre-order now.
So why not enjoy a fantastic visual history of a band that will truly ‘Live Forever’ and visit the Jill Furmanovsky: Oasis 1994-2009 Exhibition at the Lucy Bell Gallery, St Leonards-on-Sea. On until the end of September.
