BOCA RATON, FL (CelebrityAccess) – Wentworth Gallery is honored to present the latest collection of works from legendary Musician and Fine Artist Paul Stanley. Stanley has created new original paintings, hand-painted signature Paul Stanley Ibanez guitars, mixed media originals, and limited-edition artworks, including new works on metal. These special events with the Artist will take place at the Wentworth Gallery on February 23 at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood and on February 24 at the Boca Raton Town Center Mall.
I don’t really have a style other than what connects all of my pieces – which is vibrant color. Because, to me, color is the representation of life. I view my life, on its worst day, as a miracle. I think life is amazing. And I represent it with color. – Paul Stanley
This past August, Stanley premiered an exclusive exhibit at the esteemed Butler Institute of American Art. “The Other Side” special collection featured sixteen one-of-a-kind pieces encompassing new acrylic paintings and mixed media originals. Stanley was honored to be exhibited at such a prestigious institution, “For me, it takes my breath away. (The Butler Institute) is a terrific museum. And the first that really championed American artists.” The show was well attended and received glowing reviews.
“Paul’s artwork really connects with people. In particular, his unique use of colors elicits strong emotions. It is extremely rare to sell an entire gallery of art during a show, but Paul does it regularly. He has become an art phenom.” – Christian O’Mahony, Principal Wentworth Gallery
Stanley designed and created the iconic KISS emblem, which remains universally recognized as one of the greatest logos of the 20th century. His artistic and visual input has been and continues to be seen in his designs of KISS album covers, performance stages, and apparel.
Stanley returned to his passion for painting ten years ago by creating portraits and abstracts that are emotionally charged. His tremendous success with his artwork has led to an entirely new fan and media presence. He maximizes the direct and powerful impact of his paintings through scale, texture, color, and simplicity of imagery.
Stanley’s works have been praised by well-known and distinguished art concerns and acquired by fans, celebrities and art collectors worldwide. Stanley’s works have been coveted by collectors, as evidenced by consecutive sell-out art shows with total sales in the tens of millions. Additionally, the Artist has been commissioned to create numerous large works that are on exhibition globally.
