Gallery: Paul Stanley at Wentworth Gallery
"The Starchild" Paul Stanley created rock band Kiss' iconic logo and had a hand in its album covers, stage designs, and apparel
“The Starchild,” it turns out, doesn’t just paint his face: The co-lead singer of Kiss also paints on canvas. In fact, Paul Stanley created the rock band’s iconic logo and had a hand in its album covers, stage designs, and apparel.
A decade ago, Stanley returned to painting colorful and dramatic self-portraits and color-saturated abstract compositions with evocative titles such as “Purple Haze,” “Green Planet,” and “Infinite Solitude.” This weekend, Stanley appears at Wentworth’s two locations to discuss and sell his works.
