'The Art of Ronnie Wood' exhibit scheduled to open in Asbury Park, N.J....


'The Art of Ronnie Wood' exhibit scheduled to open in Asbury Park, N.J.

A reception that is open to the public will take place on June 15, 2013, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. EDT. It has not been announced if Wood will attend the reception. The Rolling Stones have a concert in Boston on June 14, followed by a concert in Philadelphia on June 18.
Here is Art629's description of the exhibit:
"Ronnie Wood has captured in many mediums legendary Rock n’ Roll, Pop and Rhythm & Blues performers including Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry, Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, Eric Clapton, John Lennon and Madonna – all friends or admired colleagues. He knows his subjects well, often having performed with them on stage or in the studio during his musical career; especially after joining the Rolling Stones.
"These portraits, featured in this exhibition, of his fellow Rolling Stones band mates and other famous friends are executed in a straightforward style that captures the intimacy of the relationship between subject and artist. For Ronnie, music and art have always gone hand-in-hand, and the intensity that he brings to the guitar translates onto canvas and paper with rhythmic line and vibrant color. Ronnie Wood’s paintings are a record of his many talents and loves. One of the things he most enjoys is to paint the views from his farm in County Kildare Ireland and the horses he keeps in stables there, allowing him time to take time out from both the media attention that follows him everywhere and also work on his future projects, both with the Rolling Stones and other musicians, in a more secluded atmosphere."
Most of Wood's portraits in gallery exhibits are of the Rolling Stones. He has had several gallery exhibits in multiple countries.
