LEGENDARY ROCK DRUMMER CARL PALMER
TO RELEASE SIGNATURE FINE ART
COLLECTION: TWIST OF THE WRIST
A legendary drummer.
A new medium in visual art.
The most limited release imaginable.
Carl Palmer, one of rock’s iconic figures, and a founding member of
both Emerson Lake & Palmer and ASIA, is scheduled to release his first
signature collection of fine art, created completely from rhythm.
Twist of the Wrist by Carl Palmer is a series of signed and numbered
prints on canvas featuring stunning visual images constructed from drum
performance. Working with acclaimed L.A. art team SceneFour, the
artwork featured within combine motion, color, and lighting into some of
the most compelling fine art visuals ever created. This very limited art
collection is available at www.CarlPalmerArt.com starting on February 1,
2013. They will also be available in selected art galleries and at Carl
Palmer shows during his extensive 2013 tour.
“I have been extremely interested in modern art since my earliest
days in ELP, but I never envisioned myself as someone who would create
it,” says Palmer. “SceneFour has enabled me to combine the two things I
am most passionate about: fine art and music.”
“I think viewers will be amazed when they see Carl’s rhythmic
approach and symmetric motion put to canvas. It captures a new
dimension, not of this world,” SceneFour Art Director Ravi Dosaj states.

RHYTHM IS THE MEDIUM.
Created over the course of 2012, Carl Palmer’s fine art debut is
historic, as he pioneers a new visual art medium with Twist of the Wrist –
rhythm on canvas.
Like a painter using brushes and paints, Palmer is utilizing drumsticks
of different color and light temperatures to perform for the artwork’s
visual, with each beat captured and translated into a masterpiece.
Interested art collectors are encouraged to sign up at the website
for more information prior to the February 1, 2013 release date. As part of
this early interest list, they will have the opportunity to preview the
collection and reserve part of the series prior to the worldwide unveiling.
Scene Four based in downtown Los Angeles, has become notorious
for their Collaborative Art releases with music visionaries. Of recent,
SceneFour releases with Chuck D, Bootsy Collins, The RZA, and members
of Janes Addiction, Guns N’ Roses, Incubus, and Def Leppard have been
some of the most sought after fine art releases in the U.S. marketplace.
In February, Carl Palmer will embark on his 12th year of performing with his
own group, now called CARL PALMER’S ELP LEGACY. His tour will take him
to Japan, Europe, and both North & South America. Palmer has released
four solo albums since the last ELP tour 1998. They are: DO YA WANNA
PLAY?, a 2 CD anthology and WORKING LIVE Vol. 1, Vol. 2., and Vol.3,
(released on Eagle Rock). He has released a 2006 Concert DVD- Carl

solos; and has a new concert DVD, Decade, being released in March
2013. Since his last solo tour, Palmer has remained active with ASIA (Geoff
Downes, Steve Howe and John Wetton), touring and recording since they
reunited in 2006. The band recently celebrated its 30th Anniversary.
