A self-portrait is often difficult for an artist to accomplish because he knows his subject almost too well. This is not so for Ronnie. Perhaps it is his experience being famous and seeing his own face plastered everywhere that gives him a certain amount of detachment when it comes to painting himself. Here, Ronnie has captured himself with all the thought and concentration we see of him onstage.
A drypoint etching is made by first scratching a design into a metal plate (such as copper) with a sharp stylus or needle. The plate is then inked and pressed onto paper to create the final artwork.
The Rolling Stones Suite I:
Ronnie Wood created this set of drypoint etchings very early in his career as an artist. His passion for print-making fueled a great variety of media and formats in the late-1980s. This suite is comprised of five portraits, one of each of the Stones lineup at the time including Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, and himself.
