Inspired by the major exhibition Morbid Curiosity, Project Onward presents a collection of paintings and drawings that commemorate the lives --and deaths -- of performers who went out in a blaze of glory at the age of 27. Beginning with blues legend Robert Johnson, the "27 Club" went on to include Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and, most recently, Amy Winehouse. Along the way, other talented performers have succumbed at an early age to the dark side of fame and fortune, stoking the obsessive interest of fans and conspiracy theorists alike. David Holt, Sereno Wilson, Adam Hines, and Fernando Ramirez are among the artists paying homage to these musical legends gone too soon.
