Over 100 Wood’s artworks, including paintings, sculptures, and engravings, will be on display during the week starting today. Many of them have not been shown before. Some were created during quarantine, others can be called Wood’s “greatest hits”. Among them is a large painted tapestry based on the famous photo shoot for Beggar’s Banquet album, which was released in December 1968.
The proceeds from the exhibition will be transferred to the National Health Service of Great Britain.
On the occasion of the show, The Guardian asked art critics for their opinion on the artworks of a rock star, and they did not become shy in terms of expressions. Picasso’s Guernica and Picasso’s Three Dancers were especially popular with art critics.
“It seems that he took one of the greatest and most exciting works of art, a desperate anti-war cry, and used it as the basis for terrible own fan art,” said the newspaper critic Oliver Basciano. – In art often requires a decent portion of impudence, but it is too much”.
Wood himself admitted that he had long been inspired by the beauty of Ashridge House and its incredible gardens. “I’ve passed him many times and I’ve always been intrigued by what he looks like inside and the history of this place. Over the years, I’ve recreated Ashridge in many of my paintings, so finally going inside and exploring such a historic and fascinating place, to be able to show my work is a really special moment,” said the musician.
The exhibition of Ronnie Wood’s works will be on show until August 27.
