PAUL STANLEY: Photos From Chicago Art Exhibit Available

July 27, 2007

KISS' official web site has been updated with several photos from guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley's Sunday (July 22) Chicago art exhibit at Wentworth Gallery. This gallery show attracted another huge crowd of art buyers and fans who waited patiently in the line that ran through the Mall. Those who purchased pieces in advance attended the private VIP champagne reception with Paul. Because of the large amount of VIPs, the reception was extended an additional 45 minutes.

In a recent interview with The Times, Stanley spoke about his love for painting.

"I started painting about seven years ago when I got divorced," Stanley said of what led to his new career as a painter of abstract art. "My friends got tired of me ranting and screaming, and one of them suggested I take up painting, so I did.

"Pretty much as soon as I put a painting up in the house, people kept asking, 'Who did that?' and 'Where can I get a painting like that?' so I knew I was on to something. It's pretty cool, because I really like that people now are getting to see another side of me, besides just the music," he said.

"When I first started out, I knew that I didn't want to paint a tea cup that looked like a tea cup," he continued. "I do a lot of abstract, because I want people to connect ... and, more importantly, ME to connect with the painting(s) emotionally rather than intellectually. I wanted them to say it made them feel a certain way, rather than say, 'Wow, that tree really looks like a tree.' That's not what I go for when I pick up a brush."
