GOJIRA Drummer Schedules One-Night-Only Presentation Of Art Show

November 17, 2010

After a successful showing in Biarritz this past June, drummer Mario Duplantier of French progressive metallers GOJIRA has announced a one-night-only presentation of his art show "Cocktail - Base De Goudron" on December 6 at the Rock School Barbey in Bordeaux, France. Doors open at 6 p.m. and entrance is free.

Mario was born in 1981 and grew up in a family where art always played a significant role. He developed his drawing, painting and music skills in an environment of freedom and creativity. In 1996, Mario and his brother created the well-known metal band named GOJIRA. Traveling all around the world with his bandmates, he decided to transform each trip into a real painting and drawing session. The artistic raw material that came out of these trips became very crucial to him and has turned into a daily activity.

Mario subconsiously creates random surrealistic paintings made of hybrid characters, strange animals that tell stories that are sometimes surreal but can also be scary and heart-wrenching. Glycerol, Chinese ink, spit, garbage and old paintings are his favorite tools to freely express his apparently naive allegories of the contemporary world.
