Legendary Rocker and Fine Artist PAUL STANLEY To Hit The Road For Fine Art Tour

Written by Jason Price on January 9, 2023

Wentworth Gallery is ringing in the New Year in a big way as they present a collection of works from legendary Musician and Fine Artist, Paul Stanley. Since the artist’s last national art tour, over four years ago, 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. Several of the pieces on display come from the Black Series that was initially commissioned in 2020 for museum exhibition. As with most events in 2020 that exhibit was canceled due to the pandemic. With the Black Series, Stanley pushes the boundaries of his art by starting with a black canvas and creating vibrancy and emotion with his trademark bright colors.

Fans can experience the new works and meet Paul Stanley at the following Wentworth Gallery locations beginning February 3 in Hollywood, FL on February 4 in Boca Raton, FL and then on February 24 in Bethesda, MD and finally February 25 McLean, VA (full details below).

 “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 compositions. His tremendous success with his artwork has led to an entirely new fan and media presence for the accomplished Musician, Actor and Artist. He maximizes the direct and powerful impact of his paintings through scale, texture, color and simplicity of imagery.

Stanley’s works have been exhibited in multiple museums, praised by well-known and distinguished art concerns and acquired by fans, celebrities and art collectors worldwide 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.

  • The 38th anniversary of “Colors” got me thinking about something I hadn’t previously shared. Last year, I had the chance to cross paths with the legendary Ice-T and Coco, and Ice was kind enough to sign my “Colors” vinyl. 

Having grown up listening to his music and enjoying so many of his iconic roles, from “New Jack City” to “Tank Girl” to “Surviving the Game” and beyond, it was definitely one of those very cool full-circle moments. 

It’s wild to think about the kind of run he’s had over the past four decades!

  • What If Kelly LeBrock Had Never Become Lisa in “Weird Science”? 👀🎬

The internet never disappoints! This rare behind-the-scenes photo from “Weird Science” offers a glimpse at what might have been, back when model Kelly Emberg was reportedly set to play Lisa before Kelly LeBrock stepped into the role. It is one of those fascinating bits of casting history that really makes you stop and wonder how different the film could have felt.

That said, it is almost impossible to picture anyone but LeBrock as Lisa. She brought such a perfect mix of beauty, confidence, charm, and mystery to the character that she made Lisa one of the most unforgettable fantasy figures of the entire ‘80s. It is a fun piece of movie history to look back on, but in the end, “Weird Science” feels like one of those rare films that ended up exactly the way it was meant to.
