Boston is the first stop on the Rolling Stones World Tour and the city will be "electric" when these Rock n' Roll Legends are in town.  Aside from being an amazing musician, one of  "The Stones" is also a remarkable visual artist.  Celebrated guitarist Ronnie Wood has been creating artwork for over 25 years and his subject matter deals with what he knows best: music and entertainment.  This celebrity themed exclusive exhibition at Newbury Fine Arts is an unique opportunity to view and purchase the art of Ronnie Wood, and a rare chance to collect a piece of Rock n' Roll history.

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 in London. As his musical career with the Jeff Beck Group, the Faces and the Rolling Stones progressed, Ronnie continued to paint and draw.  His subjects ranging from musicians he admired, knew and sometimes played with, to family , close friends, and self-portraits.

Throughout the years, the artist and the musician have been inseparable. 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 it.   In 1987 he had the opportunity 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 giclee printmaking.

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.
