Ronnie Wood has unveiled a new Picasso-inspired painting of the Rolling Stones.
The 71-year-old rocker is selling five new paintings as part of his extensive collection of work – which are available to purchase online as limited edition prints – including an immense painting of his chart-topping band titled ‘Abstract Stones’, which was inspired by Spanish surrealist painter Pablo Picasso.
Speaking in a statement about the stand-out art piece, Ronnie said: "I call it The Picasso Stones. It’s my interpretation of Picasso’s painting The Three Dancers. Looking at the original, I was inspired to do my own take featuring the boys. I did a few versions and each one was slightly different and more honed than the last. I had great fun doing it. Picasso did his own take on a lot of artists but I bet he never thought no one would ever do a take on him. I hope and think he’d be flattered, but also a bit shocked and pleasantly surprised at my take on his work."
‘Abstract Stones’ is available in three different versions – listed on the website as ‘I’, ‘II’ and ‘III’ – for purchase online for a limited time as individually hand-signed and numbered prints, with prices ranging from £995 to £1,500.
The collection of ‘Abstract Stones’ pieces – which includes two prints, versions ‘II’ and ‘III’ – is also available for £1,700.
Alongside the two variations of the Picasso-inspired artwork, Ronnie also unveiled three paintings which depict his own personal interpretations of classic Stones tour posters, for ‘Bridges to Babylon’, ‘Urban Jungle’, and ‘Voodoo Lounge’.
The tour posters – which are also hand-signed and numbered – are £595 each, or can be purchased as a set of three for £1500.
‘Abstract Stones I’ is limited to just 50 copies, whilst the other two versions and all the tour poster designs are limited to 195 copies.
