Ronnie Wood - The Collection - 7 - 11 February 2006 Ronnie Wood - The Collection - 7 - 11 February 2006
Although best known for his role in the Stones, Ronnie was born into a family of enthusiastic artists. Ronnie carried on the family tradition by following his brothers to art school and on leaving, his first job was a sign writer.

Ronnie's subjects range from immediate colleagues in the band, to other famous rock and roll musicians he has admired, known and has sometimes played with. Family, friends, animals and of course the self portraits perhaps show a more private side. It is as natural to find him with a pencil as with a guitar, drawing portraits of contemporaries and finding inspiration from his musical influences.

As well as sketches, the exhibition will include portraits of John Lennon, who he knew when they both lived in New York, Jack Nicholson, Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison and many others including two new prints of Bob Marley. There will also be twenty originals available for sale.

These portraits are a unique and intimate insight into the Stones private arena and they provide an opportunity to have a small piece of rock and roll legend. The limited edition screen prints, etchings and originals are all signed by Ronnie and are available for sale.
