or Ronnie Wood, music and art have always gone hand in hand creatively, and the intensity that he brings to his music is
washed with watercolours, to create a stylish and elegant feel - instantly captur- ing the swagger of Mick Jagger; the laid back demeanour of Charlie Watts; Keith Richards’ unswervingly cool attitude; as well as his own assured self-portrait of a man at ease with his musical talent. Having honed his skills drawing his band
translated onto paper with a tangible energy and spirit. Wood has drawn admiration recently in art circles for his technical brilliance and his ability to iconic band mates. A talented artist, he has painted for the last 35 years with subjects ranging from other musicians to self-portraits, and he says his art is almost like a compulsion - ‘When I get inspired I get possessed and just have to paint’. A new set of line and watercolour drawings of the band members shows Wood’s undoubted talent and eye for detail. The new limited edition collection of four portraits, entitled ‘Drawn to Life’ were created using pen and ink and then create images of such an exacting likeness of his
mates over the years, Wood has also recently launched a new ‘Legends’
collection – where he turns the spotlight from his illustrious musical career with the Rolling Stones to his own musical idols. The first in the series is a
hand-signed limited edition giclée black and white print of Bob Dylan. A stylish and simple print it is a worthy aesthetic tribute from one iconic rocker to another. GALLERY The newDrawn to Life collection is available in galleries nationwide, or view online at castlegalleries.com
