The Armada Gallery is showing, for the first time ever on the Barbican, the work of Ronnie Wood.
A former member of The Faces and guitarist of the Rolling Stones and after a very public divorce from Jo Wood, Ronnie Wood continues to paint and produce his own silkscreen prints.
His subjects are his friends; Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, and the late Jimi Hendrix.
The exhibition will be running from 19th March 2010 through to the 10th April 2010.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ronnie Wood was born in 1947 in Middlesex, England, into a musical and artistic family. Before beginning his musical career he received formal art training at Ealing College of Art, London.
Throughout the years the artist and the musician have been inseparable. As his musical career progressed, Ronnie continued his passion for painting and drawing, his subjects ranging from band members and musicians he admired, knew and sometimes played with, to family and close friends - and, of course, the self-portrait. 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.
In America in the early 1980's Ronnie produced his first prints - three woodcuts and a series of monotypes. At that time he was not yet an experienced printmaker so it was with great enthusiasm that he seized upon the opportunity in 1987 to spend several months working in a professional printmaking studio in England. Since then he has devoted a considerable amount of time to printmaking and has produced a number of images using various techniques -etching, drypoint, screenprint and digital.
Over the years his work has been widely exhibited. In 1996 he had a retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, Sao Paulo, Brazil. He has had numerous one man exhibitions in North and South America, in the Far East and throughout Europe.
