We Love 77 - an exhibition of 77 paintings by artist duo Sardine & Tobleroni, chronicling the evolution of punk rock. This is the second major Portuguese solo exhibition for Sardine & Tobleroni, who describe their practice as 'Conceptual Art Brut'. Sardine & Tobleroni were inspired to embark on their series in 2005 when Mojo ran a special Punk Issue called 77 Punk Smashers. The paintings include The Clash, X-ray Spex, Sex Pistols, Ramones, Buzzocks, MC5, The Stooges, Patti Smith, New York Dolls, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sham 69, The Damned, Joy Division and Black Flag, to name a few.	For many 1977 was the definitive year of Punk, but this exhibition also features influential bands from the early American precursors like the Stooges, to contemporary bands like the Libertines. The result is the first art exhibition of its kind and a monumental tribute by the artists to one of the most exciting eras in the history of popular culture. Art duo Sardine and Tobleroni divide the surface of their works into two halves of which the right-hand side is painted by Sardine and the left-hand side by Tobleroni. The duo describes their practice as Conceptual Art Brut, the equivalent to what Punk is in music.	They have participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions both in UK, Italy, Portugal and among other countries. They were part of 'Travelling Light' at the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009 and their solo show 'We Love 77' opened in February 2010 in an Islington pop-up venue (London), with appearances from Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex, Don Letts, and close to 2000 visitors.
