Last summer, Exhibit A Gallery founder / artist Richard Villa III and legendary skateboarder Tony Alva announced the Obey Your Master art exhibit, set to feature a collection of artists from the worlds of Art, Fashion, Film, Music and Skateboarding coming together to pay tribute to Metallica.
For the exhibit, the artists have all chosen a song by the heroes of metal, and will execute their vision in their individual artistic mediums, based on their interpersonal relationship to Metallica's lyrics and music.
The final art pieces will represent each chosen song, and will be revealed on January 20th, 2012 at Exhibit A Gallery to a private reception, with all of the artists and Metallica in attendance.
The pieces will be available for purchase starting that evening, through March 23, 2012.
“The connection between music and art has always been a very powerful one for us, so the idea to show a collection of art inspired by our songs seemed like it could be pretty unique and special,” says Metallica. “While opening night is a private reception that we will be at along with all of the artists, Met Club members will have a chance to win passes to the reception. If you're planning to be in the L.A. area next year, stop by. For more information, check out www.exhibitagallery.com and keep watching Metallica.com for updates and chances to participate.”
A preview of the Obey Your Master art exhibit is now available here.
