First he stole your love, now Paul Stanley will put the X in exhibition — art exhibition, that is.
Get the firehouse, cuz KISS frontman Paul Stanley is gonna get the Wentworth Galleries hotter than hell with showings of his personal paintings.
If you wanna little bit of art exhibition, I said if you wanna little bit of art exhibition, shout it out loud! Then get yourself KISSed at a rock and rollin’ gallery event near you where the Starchild will be on-hand to uh! all night with fans.
So, rise to it — Paul Stanley will!

About the rock icon’s collection (sorry, no plaster casters):
Paul Stanley creates portraits and abstracts that are emotionally charged compositions. The scale is huge, the paint laid on thickly; the colors have been chosen in order to generate a powerfully physical and emotional effect. Paul’s work can be associated with the Abstract Expressionists of the late 1940’s and 1950’s. He aims to maximize the direct, physical impact of his paintings through scale, texture, color and simplicity of images. One sees in Paul’s abstracts the influences of Kandinsky, Mondrian, Malevich, Paul Klee, and Mark Rothko.

Hey Eve… you’re a lyrical poet

When I think of Paul Stanley and paint, canvas is generally not the first image in my mind, so this is pretty damned cool.

There are several rockers who paint and do art, so why not. I saw a John Lennon exhibit in San Francisco in the 80’s. Yay for art!

what a horrible painter

Hey why not, he has already done Opera and now he is taking on another field, the art field. You have to give him some credit for taking this on and making artwork. A lot of people probably wont like it but will buy it just for the name sake. Could also be a good way to start off your art collection, it can be a long term investment. It is also good to get in on a ground floor on up and coming artist like me….
