From KISS Enthusiast To Art Mogul

A hundred hours to construct a portrait of Keith Richards using only guitar picks? To us, that seems like an unimaginable feat. To John Arena, it's just another day.

John Arena, aka the Guitar Pick artist, began to blend mediums with the goal of magnifying the usage of common items; make art accessible. Those mediums were classic rock music and visual art.

With thousands of variegated guitar picks, Arena flips innovation on its head.

Whether made from Mother of Pearl or pared down to fir the outline of Amy Winehouse's signature cateye makeup, all guitar picks make their presence known. As if they were destined to play a role in transforming contemporary art entirely.Arena's love and appreciation for his rock idols, makes our eyes linger even longer. 

Because we all know, love is in the details.  

You can find the Guitar Pick Artist's brand-new pieces at Studio E Gallery. And trust us, you won't want to miss this concert!
