Rob Zombie is stepping into a new creative realm—his paintings are about to be showcased publicly for the very first time, and it’s happening at an art exhibition in Kent, Connecticut. But here's where it gets interesting: this isn’t just a casual display; it’s a milestone that reveals another layer of Zombie’s artistic expression beyond his well-known music and movies.
Alongside the exciting release of his latest single, “Punks and Demons,” from his upcoming album, The Great Satan (which fans can listen to here: https://bloody-disgusting.com/music/3908446/rob-zombie-releases-new-single-punks-and-demons-new-album-coming-in-february/), Zombie has announced his very first public art exhibition. This event will take place at the Morrison Gallery located at 60 North Main Street in Kent, Connecticut, and it marks a significant moment: the first time fans and the general public will get a glimpse of his personal paintings.
In a friendly announcement on Instagram, Zombie shared, “Opening October 25th – November 16th at Morrison Gallery in Kent, CT is my first ever showing of my paintings. The opening reception is on October 25th from 5 to 7 pm. Feel free to come by—no tickets needed, it’s free and open to everyone.”
The exhibition is titled “What Lurks on Channel X?”—a title that hints at the strange, perhaps unsettling, world Zombie draws from. True to his signature style, his artwork will likely reflect his dark, eclectic perspective, featuring themes from horror films, pop culture, and true crime—all elements that have shaped his music and films over the years.
Zombie himself admits, “I think everything I do is kind of ridiculous,” adding, “This is my world. I grew up watching TV—eight to nine hours a day, every day. That’s all I knew. Everything in my mind came from television, radio, all of it.”
So, if you’re curious what’s brewing in Rob Zombie’s mind—whether it’s nightmares, pop icons, or the bizarre—mark your calendar for October 25th and spend Halloween exploring his art at the Morrison Gallery. It promises to be a unique experience, especially for fans who’ve followed his journey through horror, music, and now, visual art.
And this is the part most people miss—how a filmmaker and musician’s childhood obsession with television and pop culture can transform into a personal, visual narrative. Do you think Zombie’s art will challenge our perceptions of his work, or will it simply be an extension of his already vivid universe? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let’s discuss.
