Liquid Canvas — the premier streaming art platform that transforms any smart TV into a digital gallery — has introduced its newest collection, the music-focused Black Paint on Linen series. The lineup showcases more than a dozen striking digital portraits of musical legends, from Bob Marley and Bono to David Bowie and John Coltrane, offering a fresh fusion of visual art and music history for fans across the globe.
Using the Liquid Canvas mobile app (available on iOS and Android), subscribers can replace the lifeless black rectangle of a dormant television with a rotating display of interactive, ambient art. The platform’s vast library includes everything from classical masterworks by Van Gogh and Monet to animated originals, personal photo uploads, videos, and now, the bold new works featured in Black Paint on Linen. Designed to elevate home, office, and commercial spaces, the service allows users to curate their own digital gallery with just a few taps.
One of the standout pieces in the series is a moving anti-war collage that brings together Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and Joan Baez—three towering voices of 1960s counterculture. The illustration underscores their shared lineage: Dylan’s songwriting as a connective thread, their collective activism during a turbulent era, and their enduring festival legacies across folk, rock, and psychedelic music. The result is a timely reminder of the cultural crossroads that shaped a generation.
Elsewhere in the collection, reggae icon Bob Marley appears in a radiant Exodus-era pose, capturing the warmth and spiritual power of his music. Bono is immortalized mid-performance in a commanding stance reminiscent of U2’s Achtung Baby period. A slick, suit-clad David Bowie channels his Let’s Dance swagger, while multiple portraits of John Coltrane pay homage to the jazz giant’s intensity and innovation.
The series continues with vivid renderings of pillars from across the musical spectrum: Ella Fitzgerald, Thelonious Monk, B.B. King, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Johnny Cash, Michael Jackson, and Elton John, among others. Together, the portraits offer a powerful, stylish alternative to blank screens. With just a few taps, your room instantly comes alive — like Spotify for Art for TV.
Liquid Canvas itself was born from founder Brian Fitzgerald’s mission to breathe life into dormant televisions and bring museum-quality visuals into everyday environments. The company’s guiding mantra—“Museum Worthy. Sofa Ready.”—captures its blend of high art and home comfort. Alongside its extensive gallery, the platform supports animated works, ambient visuals, multi-device sharing, Personal Media Uploads, and even NFTs.
By merging technology with interior design, Liquid Canvas makes it easy and affordable to curate artful living spaces. Subscriptions start at $2.99/month for the Basic plan, with Premium access available for $4.99/month or $49.99 annually.
