Castle Galleries, Cathedral Yard, Exeter, from Saturday 22nd October
Ronnie Wood is best know as the legendary guitarist with The Rolling Stones. But he has also been an accomplished artist for more than 50 years.
He unveils his debut collection of fine art for Washington Green, to be displayed across the Castle Galleries group of art galleries including Castle Galleries Exeter in Cathedral Yard from Saturday 22nd October.
For rock and art fans alike, the five limited edition works of art are a celebratio of Woods two creative worlds. The Famous Flames Suite focuses on the four instantly recognisable members of The Rolling Stones – Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie – whilst The Stones on Stage – Got Me Rockin’ brilliantly captures the raw energy of the band fronted by swaggering Mick Jagger.
The limited edition collection, published by Washington Green Fine Art Publishing, will feature at Castle Galleries Exeter from 22 October.
Glyn Washington, managing director of Washington Green Fine Art, said: “Every so often each century, time draws out and seals a place in the history books for the creative geniuses in our midst and Ronnie Wood is one such outstanding artistic talent.
“He picked up a paintbrush way before he picked up a guitar and began his life long journey with art almost as soon as he could hold a pencil. This innate artistic pulse that ran through Wood’s veins and was first refined and honed at art college; evolved and grew into a five decade love affair with canvas, which has seen Wood constantly seeking, evolving and pushing back the boundaries in his art.
“This collection of art is testament to the enduring journey of a truly accomplished artist and it is our great honour at Washington Green Fine Art to bring his breathtaking body of work to its rightful place – centre stage.”
Ronnie Wood’s limited edition print collection, published by Washington Green Fine Art, will feature at Castle Galleries Exeter in Cathedral Yard from Saturday 22 October. Visit www.castlegalleries.com for more information.
