Abstract
“We Still See the Black” will be eaturing artists who draw inspiration from Heavy Metal album art, song lyrics and the sub-culture that amps up all kinds of emotions. Dark, gothic and gorgeous, many of the pieces are visceral, violent, melancholy and embody Heavy Metal so perfectly while also managing to be original. Artists featured in this show are Vincent Como, Matthew Hickey, Karlynn Holland, Seldon Hunt, Nader Sadek, Joe Wardwell, Jack Wesley Schneider, Todd White, and artist collaborations Deep Slumber Lake and Under the Same Shadow. Many of the artists have experience creating art for Metal concert posters, have collaborated with bands to create album art and the show will also be enhanced by a free concert performance by local Heavy Metal band TAJ.
