This exhibit is music to our eyes.

Several superstars, past and present have contributed pieces to “Beyond The Stage: Art by Legends of Rock and Roll,” opening Thursday and running through Dec. 7 at Animazing Gallery at Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian.

Bob Dylan, Bono, Steven Tyler, Robby Krieger, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Steve Vai, Rick Allen, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Jerry Garcia are among the legends whose work is displayed in the studio and online at Animazing.com. The pieces are also offered for sale.

A superstar-hosted reception is set for Friday, for those who purchased pieces on opening night. Steve Vai, guitarist Billy Morrison (Billy Idol), drummer John Douglas (Aerosmith), and Paul Geary (drummer for Extreme and manager of Smashing Pumpkins, Godsmack, Creed, Scorpions, Joe Perry, and The Hollywood Vampires) are among those scheduled to be on hand.

The gallery has previously featured works by Gene Simmons and Douglas.

Krieger appreciates the chance to convey his creativity visually.

“I am more used to holding a guitar than a paintbrush, but I actually started painting well before I ever played guitar,” the Doors legend said in a statement. “My mom took lessons from a fairly well-known artist, Mr. (Akira) Kurosawa. I kind of liked it then and I never thought I would pick up a paintbrush again, 40 years later.”

Krieger qualified, “The main difference between my music and my painting is that one is done with other people and the other is pretty much a one-man deal.”
