Iconic musician will make in person appearances
Joe Satriani, the legendary world-renowned guitarist, is planning his first foray as a touring visual artist with showings debuting at two Wentworth Gallery locations in January 2022. Satriani has prepared one of a kind pieces for the exhibit including original canvases and hand painted guitars.
The iconic guitarist will personally appear at two locations in South Florida. He will be at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL on Friday, January 28th from 7-10 pm and at the Boca Raton location on Saturday, January 29 from 5-8 pm. All art will be available for purchase. Masks are required to attend.
“Music and art are my passions. I like making the invisible, visible, and the unimaginable, real,” Satriani states. “The image on a canvas, or, an electric guitar for that matter, can make you feel something unexpected and revealing, something that is the beginning of a greater personal insight. Challenging the straight line and the concepts of what belongs with what excites me. I want to experience new color combinations to make me see beyond the prevailing reality. There’s a balance between seriousness and humor that can imbue in a painting a kind of resilience and longevity, making it forever contemporary. When I paint and play my guitar, I strive to be in a state of exhilaration and communicate that feeling to my fans.”
“Joe is a master storyteller. Just as his music draws in the listener, his art draws in the viewer. His artwork is emotional, imaginative, and fantastic. Not only do you see the universe through Joe’s eyes, but you also contemplate our place in it,” shares Christian O’Mahony, Principal Wentworth Gallery.
Satriani will be releasing new music in 2022 and has announced a rescheduled world tour in support of his latest effort, Shapeshifting. European tour dates start April 4th and run June 6th, as of press time. These were postponed from 2021 following strict pandemic government sanctions.
