From The Rolling Stones to the Canvas: Ronnie Wood’s Visual Art Rocks Arete Gallery
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.

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.
