SLIPKNOT's CLOWN Books His First Gallery Showing

September 15, 2009

Sophia Ahmad of DesMoinesRegister.com reports that SLIPKNOT percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan will make his contemporary art debut and celebrate his birthday September 24 7 p.m.-midnight at the Hotel Kirkwood in Des Moines, Iowa.

The show will feature Crahan's acrylic on canvas paintings, framed photography, prints and Polaroids from his upcoming book, "The Apocalyptic Nightmare Journey".

The event is free, and food and drinks will be served. Mike Pfaff and Jeff Karnowski, of Crahan's band DIRTY LITTLE RABBITS will perform jazz/world music as well as play a second set of covers with their group THE $NACK$. DJ Starscream (Sid Wilson, DJ of SLIPKNOT) will perform with the SOUND PROOF COALITION.

Jewelry by Crahan's wife Chantel, paintings by Frank Hansen and paintings and films by Scott Kaven will also be on display. The event will be curated by the Moberg Gallery.

Crahan said this about the event in a press release: "My first gallery showing is truly the realization of a lifelong dream. Polaroid photography has helped open the doors in my mind about layering, saturation and backgrounds. Then, of course, there's painting. I feel as though I've waited my whole life to be able to enjoy what I always imagined painting to be. This is now reality. Painting is one of the only artistic expressions that brings me ultimate happiness and freedom. This show is a fun way to have an evening dedicated to the celebration of everyone's ambitions and love for art, whatever their medium may be. So, artists everywhere, come as you are."
