, b. 1947

Renowned as a rock icon, Ronnie Wood has solidified his position in the annals of music history through his exceptional guitar skills showcased in legendary bands like The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck Group, and Faces (alongside Rod Stewart). In the 1960s, he pursued studies at Ealing Art College, coinciding with the era of other notable musicians such as Pete Townshend from The Who and Freddie Mercury from Queen. Wood's artistic talent extends beyond music, as his vibrant paintings, prints, and drawings adeptly capture the dynamic essence of live performances. Within his creative repertoire, he frequently portrays fellow musicians, including himself, his bandmates, and illustrious figures like Bob Dylan and Duke Ellington. Noteworthy individuals, including Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, have recognized Wood's artistic prowess, commissioning him in 2003 to craft a painting depicting the crowd at the esteemed London establishment, Ivy. This remarkable artwork unveiled at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane, showcases over 60 prominent diners, among them Kate Moss, Jerry Hall, and Mick Jagger. Wood's artistic achievements were further acknowledged with a retrospective exhibition at the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo in 1996.
