From The Rolling Stones to the Canvas: Ronnie Wood’s Visual Art Rocks Arete Gallery
Written by Gene Aaron
Nestled in the vibrant arts district of New Hope, Pennsylvania, Arete Gallery is proudly presenting a captivating exhibition that fuses the electrifying spirit of rock music with the expressive power of fine art, featuring works of music icons such as John Lennon and Jerry Garcia. Now this unique showcase includes the iconic Ronnie Wood — renowned globally as the legendary guitarist for The Rolling Stones — whose talent as a visual artist reveals an equally profound creative voice.
Opened on January 17, 2025, the exhibition presents a curated selection of Wood's artworks, reflecting his deep-rooted passion for painting and drawing. Before his ascent to rock stardom as a prominent member of the Jeff Beck Group, The Faces and The Rolling Stones, Wood studied at Ealing College of Art, laying the foundation for a parallel career in the visual arts. His pieces often depict fellow musicians, family, and self-portraits, rendered with the same energy and emotion that characterize his music.

Written by SULÉY ERA
Costa Rica, renowned for its biodiversity and environmental sustainability, its stunning landscapes and eco-tourism, boasts a rich cultural heritage, including an exciting art scene. Despite its talented artists, including renowned Costa Rican painters, Costa Rican art often remains in the shadows.

Ryan James Fine Arts Gallery in partnership with Patricia Cameron Gallery presents "Duality", a conceptual exhibition of paintings and mixed media works by Seattle based artist Milan Heger.
Ryan James, the gallery director, shares the vision of Milan Heger’s “Duality” exhibition: “Milan embarked on the road of creating art as a young man, in response to the uniformity of colorless propaganda around him during the totalitarian regime he grew up in. Therefore, unique and original became the hallmark of his soulful art expression. Covering the non-objectionable in his performance art or in his mixed-media works, Milan Heger looks for the essence of what makes us human.”
