Exhibit A Gallery founder / artist Richard Villa III and legendary skateboarder Tony Alva have put on the ultimate tribute to Metallica with the Obey Your Master art exhibit. Obey Your Master features a collection of artists from the worlds of Art, Fashion, Film, Music and Skateboarding paying tribute to Metallica.
For the exhibit, the artists have all chosen a song by the heroes of metal, and will execute their vision in their individual artistic mediums, based on their interpersonal relationship to Metallica’s lyrics and music. The final art pieces will represent each chosen song, and were revealed on January 20th, 2012 at Exhibit A Gallery to a private/invite only reception, with many of the artists and Metallica in attendance. The pieces will be available for purchase starting that evening, through March 23, 2012.
