Satisfaction from the art of a Stone

HIS riffs are legendary, his craggy face as familiar as Jagger’s and his rock status iconic, but this time Ronnie Wood is displaying another kind of artistry.

For only the second time in four years, a major collection of drawings and etchings by the Rolling Stones guitarist have gone on exhibition in Ireland.

His works were unveiled yesterday at a special exhibition space in Dublin’s Temple Bar and show just how accomplished an artist he is. The exhibition, his first one-man show in Ireland, consists of a number of original works, as well as screen-prints and etchings, mostly of his friends in the entertainment business.
