SceneFour: Rhythms Transformed into Fine Art
SceneFour has unveiled more than forty collections, gaining particular recognition for its pioneering "rhythm-on-canvas" artworks. This innovative process involves drummers generating abstract works in collaboration with SceneFour, translating their movements behind the drum kit onto the canvas. Cory Danziger, Co-Founder and Conceptual Artist of SceneFour, has worked alongside Artist Ravi Dosaj since 2004, exclusively dedicating themselves to crafting collaborative art with renowned musicians. Notably, SceneFour's recent artistic venture involves Shelia E, a distinguished percussionist honored with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Often dubbed the Queen of Percussion, Shelia E is part of the Escovedo Family, alongside her father Pete Escovedo and brother Peter Michael. Her impressive collaborations encompass luminaries like Prince, Marvin Gaye, George Duke, and Ringo Starr.
