Billy Morrison Exhibition: “DIS-EASE”
September 3, 2015 @ 10:30 am - September 8, 2015 @ 7:00 pm
Keiko Noah, Maestro at Mouche Gallery, Beverly Hills, with Aston Martin of Beverly Hills and Bombay Sapphire Gin presents “Dis-Ease” – by Billy Morrison.
Billy Morrison is one of the few rockers who can truly say he made it all the way to the top from the very bottom. 20 years ago, Billy was homeless and close to death. Today he is on the road with Billy Idol in support of the new Idol album (on which he co-wrote a number of tracks with Idol and Stevens) “Kings and Queens of the Underground,” and able to share his ultimate success story of overcoming addiction and becoming one of the world’s top rhythm guitar players. From playing guitar in the Los Angeles-based celebrity supergroups Camp Freddy and Royal Machines to joining rock band The Cult on their 2001 reunion to writing and recording with his own bands Stimulator, Doheny, Circus Diablo, releasing his own solo material, and playing guitar for Billy Idol since 2009, Billy makes music at all levels. With Camp Freddy, Billy has shared the stage with some of the top names in music, including Ozzy Osbourne, Steven Tyler, Slash, Robbie Williams, Lou Reed, Ronnie Wood, Jerry Cantrell, and Dave Navarro. His solo album “Stimulator” and EP “Be Yourself” are available on iTunes and Amazon worldwide.
In 2014, to further push the ‘multimedia’ tag he wears so well, Morrison picked up paint and canvas for the first time in his life. Without a lesson or a class under his belt, he proceeded to paint prolifically for most of the year and has now not only amassed a body of work worthy of his forthcoming show, but has also found a customer base that appreciates his darker introspective imagery. When asked about his new creative outlet and the subject matter, Billy simply replied..”I just paint what lives inside my head. That just happens to be skulls, naked chicks and hand grenades.”
