Original GUNS N' ROSES Drummer STEVEN ADLER Buys Studio City House

LA Times’ Lauren Beal reports that Steven Adler, who gained fame as part of Guns N’ Roses in the late 1980s, has bought a house in Studio City for $1,337,500.

Built in 1942, the English-countryside-inspired home takes in views of the mountains, the Valley and mature oak trees. Inside the remodelled house, the entry leads to a vaulted-ceiling living room with a fireplace. The dining area opens to a deck.

The more than 2,700 square feet of living space include three bedrooms and three bathrooms. One of the two master suites features a cobblestone fireplace, a sitting room and vaulted ceilings.

Utilizing the very rhythms that made him a legend, Adler unveiled a collection of fine art “built” from the new medium of Rhythm-On-Canvas on February 6th. Those interested in learning more about the collection are encouraged to join the interest list at StevenAdlerArt.com.

Following is a video clip featuring Adler talking about the collection. A previously posted clip is also available:

A project that has quietly been created over the last year in Los Angeles, Adler has been working exclusively with art team and publisher SceneFour on the collection entitled 50.

SceneFour is the team responsible for the Rhythm-On-Canvas medium, having released blockbuster art collections over the last five years with a highly select group of drumming legends including Bill Ward (Black Sabbath) , Rick Allen (Def Leppard), Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead), Jose Pasillas (Incubus), and Dave Lombardo (Philm, Slayer).

The process of creating artwork from rhythm is an extensive one that begins with the drummer utilizing a bevy of drumsticks that light in a variety of ways similar to that of a painter utilizing brushes with different colors.  In the creation process, the drummer is crafting rhythms that translate visually to abstract imagery before they are brought into the SceneFour studio, manipulated meticulously, and laid to canvas.

For Adler’s visual work, SceneFour Co-Founder Ravi Dosaj states, “Steven’s rhythms visually look like the way he sounds…dark, gritty, and they even swing. Inside his abstract work, there are elements that seem to connect to his life.”

Steven and his band, Adler, are currently in the studio recording new material as well as confirming 2015 tour dates for both the US and overseas.
