Chris Mc Eniery
The cover of the album is an adaptation of 'Alchemy - 1974', painted over a two-year period (1972-73) by the late Australian artist and personal friend of Mark Knopfler, Brett Whiteley, who died 1992 from a methadone overdose.
The painting is actually a self-portrait and consists of a series of large separate panels which, when fully displayed, extend around several walls of a studio. The vertical lines separating the frames can be seen on the album cover. There are many panels to the work and most are not seen here. The adaptation includes additional artwork and photographs of the band and some collage - e.g., the guitar cut-out and lips on the front.
One prevalent feature in Brett Whiteley's work are arrows going in opposite directions - they feature in various paintings he has done and presumably this is where the four arrows you see on the album cover originate.
Apparently Mark Knopfler was an admirer of Whiteley's work. In an interview on the Australian TV programme '60 Minutes' he said he was 'saddened' to hear of his death.
