David Lee Roth has donated one of his original paintings to the upcoming MusiCares Charity Relieve Auction to be held Sunday, February 5th.
From Julienslive.com:
An original painting by hard rock vocalist David Lee Roth, titled “Dark Ocean.” The painting, featuring textured brush strokes in black and white with a dot of red, has been executed in acrylic on canvas. Roth has titled, signed, and dated the work on the verso in black.
Roth discusses his inspirations and process in a 2020 New York Times article, stating that art “has been a constant in my life. My hand has always been in wardrobe, background sets, stage sets, album covers, video direction. This is part of it. And there’s craft involved, so there’s a little bit more heft to some of the statements.” He began exploring visual art when the COVID-19 pandemic barred him from performing, creating drawings (or, by his description, comics) and sharing them on social media. He shared “Dark Ocean” via his Twitter account on November 30, 2021.48 x 48 inches
