Celebrated rock photographer Jeremy Saffer will showcase a collection of some of his most iconic works at LA’s Exhibit A Gallery for a very special gallery presentation, "Idol Worship: The Detournements of Jeremy Saffer". The event is set for April 13th and will feature 30 unmistakable images from Saffer's archives. 

Taking on an added element of collaboration and artistic reinterpretation, the exhibition will source some of Saffer's most definitive works and transform them into canvases for a curated roster of over 30 of the world’s best multi-media artists.

The collection will feature original works of art from the assembled group of artists, alongside Saffer’s original photographs - combining originality, collaboration and community all galvanizing around Saffer's teflon body of work.  Each painting/original work is accompanied by the artist's bio and a personal quote, further detailing the creative process and emphasizing the connect between music's influence and art's catharsis. 

Touting a catalog of work and influence from some of heavy music's most indelible contributors, Saffer's universe is comprised of the likes of Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Ghost, Slayer, Type O Negative, Mayhem, King Diamond, Slipknot, GWAR, My Chemical Romance, Motorhead, Korn, Iron Maiden, Danzig and many more.
