Neil Peart – Rush

This original Neil Peart painting, created before his passing, was designed to celebrate the legendary drummer and his iconic drum kit. The painting captures the breathtaking view from above his kit, immortalizing the intricate details of his setup. Painted in pop art and semi-abstract styles, it invites a second look to appreciate the complexity, circles, lines, and shapes that form Peart’s drum kit, as well as a tribute to his distinctive profile at the top of his head.

Using a monochromatic acrylic grey palette, the high hats are highlighted in yellow to evoke a golden impression, giving the piece a unique depth and focus. Initially created to celebrate Peart’s unparalleled drumming skills, the painting has grown into much more. Following his death, it has become a poignant pop art tribute to the man who redefined rock drumming, capturing the essence of his passion as he smashed his drums. This artwork serves as a remembrance of Neil Peart’s genius, honoring his legacy.
