Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips Creates Museum Piece In Baltimore

Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips has created a visual artwork for an exhibition at Baltimore’s American Visionary Art Museum.

‘The Big Hope Show, featuring Coyne’s work ‘King’s Mouth’, will open in October.

“Wayne Coyne’s work is among the most jubilant in our Big Hope Show,” says AVAM founder Rebecca Hoffberger, who is curating the exhibition. “Surviving a violent, near-death experience awakened in him a joy and a tsunami of endless creativity rarely seen in anyone. His drawings remind me of those most beloved by Saint-Exupéry, his lyrics are poetry.”

The museum has previously displayed works by writer William S. Burroughs, rock star Jimi Hendrix, actor Terrence Howard, chef Mario Batali, and comics legend R. Crumb.

Coyne’s work will be on display at the museum until August 2016.
