Billy Morrison + Mark Weiss Present “A Moment In Time” Art Show

“A Moment In Time” showcases paintings by Billy Morrison that were based on images taken by Mark “Weissguy” Weiss. The show is presented by X5 Podcast and Motor Cars LA. It will be on display for one weekend only from September 19-21 at the iconic Motor Cars LA Showroom in Hollywood, CA, located at 953 N. Sycamore Avenue. 

Billy Morrison, who has been a rock guitarist with Billy Idol for the past 15 years, as well as a solo recording artist, works with oil paints and spray in a Warhol-esque style. His style utilizes elements of multilayered screen printing with street artists’ stencil usage. Mark “Weissguy” Weiss traveled the world photographing legends such as Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith and more which helped capture the iconic moments of 80s rock and metal.

​”As a fine art painter, there are certain rules about using images from photographers and in fact, some extremely interesting and high-profile court cases surrounding certain images​,” says Morrison. ​”So when the opportunity was suggested to both of us by Charlie Reece (X5 Podcast) that Mark and I could close that gap between photographer and artist by doing a collaborative show, we both jumped at the chance.​”

​Adds Weiss, “When Charlie presented this opportunity to collaborate with Billy on creating new life for 12 of my classic photographs, I was ecstatic. Billy is bringing an added dimension and new appreciation to a dozen of my favorites. I spent the eighties hopping from one tour bus to another, shooting press photos and creating album covers, having a blast. Whenever I photographed a band in the ‘80s, it was like gaining a bunch of new friends. 40 years later, it feels good to get that feeling again with Billy.”

Through “A Moment In Time”, the two will showcase twelve pieces painted by Morrison alongside Weiss’ photographs that inspired them. A 13th painting and prints will be available to support mental health, suicide prevention and trauma counseling through Above Ground. The charity is led by Morrison and Jane’s Addition guitarist Dave Navarro. 

The entire weekend will be livestreamed by X5 Podcast. The schedule of events for “A Moment In Time” is as follows: 

  • Thursday, September 19th: VIP preview and press night from 6-9pm. 
  • Friday, September 20th: RSVP Party and Live X5 Podcast. The evening will include an intimate and exclusive performance from Billy Morrison, as well as a Q&A with both artists. 
  • Saturday, September 21st: Show is open to the public from 11am-5pm.
