BURBANK, CA-
Nationally renowned artists of the macabre memorialized Rozz Williams, a pioneer of Deathrock and dark art, with exhibit entitled Necessary Discomforts, displaying a private collection of his artwork and artistic tributes from those he inspired.
Rozz Williams was the creative force behind bands Christian Death, Shadow Project, Premature Ejaculation, among others. He was a passionate poet and artist that provided meaningful contemplation while pushing the boundaries of what was considered obscene. Artistically he always evolved, but the mainstream had a hard time keeping up. He took his own life in 1998, a tragic end to an artist that was far ahead of his time. The exhibit Necessary Discomforts encompassed artwork by Rozz Williams and those he inspired at Hyaena Gallery on November 12th thru 14th.
On November 13th from 8pm to 11pm, Hyaena Gallery hosted an artist reception in conjunction with Necessary Discomforts memorializing Rozz Williams life. At this, Ryan Wildstar performed poetry written by Rozz Williams out of his new book entitled 'And What About the Bells?' a deeply personal look inside the life of Rozz Williams, with stories, poems, and interviews with his closest friends. DJ Dave Bats of Release the Bats spun all night everything Rozz related! Following the reception on November 13th, Bar Sinister was the official after party.
