Ozzy Unleashed: Remembering a Legend Through Norman Seeff’s Lens

As the world mourns the passing of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, we at the Antoinette Peragine Gallery find ourselves reflecting not just on his music, but on the sheer force of his creative energy—something Norman Seeff captured like no one else. 

Following Ozzy’s passing, Norman returned to his archives. Among thousands of untouched negatives, he unearthed a rare sequence of images never seen by the public.

These photographs are more than portraits. They are a visceral time capsule of a man completely at ease in his chaos—raw, fearless, and captivating. You can almost hear the laughter between takes, feel the unpredictability in the room. Every frame pulses with the fire that made Ozzy…Ozzy.

"Ozzy—
You had the heart of a lion,
the soul of a raw, unfiltered artist,
and a mind that defied boundaries—
both wild and profoundly awake.
A true original.
A creative force who lived in the fire of his own vision.
You will be missed, my friend—
— N"

Behind the scenes, Norman’s creative process continues with the same integrity and emotion it always has. Seeing him at work, digitally restoring this Ozzy session, is to witness a master revisiting the moment when two titans collided in a single creative flash.
