Rolling Stones guitarist art exhibition set to go on display in Harrogate

IN the sixties they told the world to Paint it Black but 50 years on Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood is using a far broader pallet of colours.

Next week a newly curated exhibition showcasing a collection of artwork by the rock legend will be unveiled at Castle Galleries in Harrogate.

The exhibition will feature a range of works created during The Rolling Stones’ 50 & Counting tour including portrait prints of his famous band members, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Mick Jagger and original works from previous collections – all charting the iconic band on stage and on tour. A brand new piece featuring music icon Jimi Hendrix will also be launched at the exhibition – ahead of what would have been the musician’s 73rd birthday at the end of the month. Speaking ahead of the exhibition Wood said: “There is no kind of therapy like the one you have from starting and seeing a picture through to the end. In a secret sort of way, I like the people that I draw to see the way I’ve depicted them. Unlike music, it’s a solo effort. There’s no one else to blame.”

The exhibition begins on Friday November 13.
