BARONESS Frontman JOHN BAIZLEY's Solo Art Exhibit Scheduled For Next Month

October 7, 2009

Lancaster, Pennsylvania's Metropolis Gallery presents "The Art Of John Baizley", opening Friday, November 6 and running through November 30.

As the singer/guitarist for BARONESS, John Baizley has toured the world over, releasing several critically acclaimed albums on the iconic Relapse label — also home to MASTODON, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, NEUROSIS and countless others.

As an artist, John has created the album art for all the BARONESS releases as well as many other classic albums, including PIG DESTROYER's "Phantom Limb" and "In Return" by TORCHE. The newest release by HBO supergroup FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS will also feature John's album art.

John's lush artwork shows the influence of two major artists — Pushead, through his morbid subject matter and fine-line detail, as well as Art Deco godfather Alphonse Mucha. The few available prints John has made, most culled from album art, or specially made tour-only posters have all been hopelessly sold out, resulting in a fanatic fanbase competing for the precious available works on sites such as ExpressoBeans.com — putting John in the same rabid collector conversation as Shepard Fairey, Emek, and others.

John's first foray into the fine arts world came in September 2008 at a group show for Upper Playground's Fifty24Sf Gallery, along with peers Stephen O'Malley — of the band SUNN O))), Aaron Turner (from the band ISIS),as well as noted printmaker Aaron Horkey.

November 2009 at the Metropolis Gallery will be John Baizley's landmark first solo show, and will for the first time contain original works available for sale.
