Stones guitarist opens exhibit at Butler Tuesday

YOUNGSTOWN

When you think of Ronnie Wood, you think of searing guitar riffs, spiky hair and the brassy, sassy British bravado that has made the Rolling Stones guitarist legendary.

But there’s a lot more to Wood than rock ’n’ roll attitude.

In addition to being a gifted musician, Wood also is a gifted visual artist.

Area residents will have the privilege of witnessing Wood’s lesser-known talent when the rocker’s first American museum exhibition opens Tuesday at the Butler Institute of American Art on Wick Avenue.

Titled “Ronnie Wood: Paintings, Drawings and Prints,” the exhibition features 30 paintings, 22 pen-and-pencil drawings and seven mixed-media works.

Wood will appear at the Butler on Tuesday evening to celebrate the opening, something Louis Zona, Butler executive director, said is causing quite a stir.
