KISS legend PAUL STANLEY's website reports:
"Here are some wonderful photos of Paul with his parents from Saturday at Wentworth Gallery in Long Island. As you can see in the photos, Paul gave his proud mom and dad a complete tour of his art work."Abclocal.go.com recently reported that in 2007 Stanley's art sales were more than $2 million. But for someone who's already rich, it's about more than making money.
"What I'm trying to do with my art is connect with people emotionally. I think one of the beauties of abstract art is probably that it appeals to you emotionally, rather than intellectually. I'd rather get a smile or somebody going, 'Whoa!' than somebody going, 'Hmmm,'" said Stanley.
Stanley's abstracts include Green Planet, Winter Sun and Purple Haze.
"I love color and somebody was describing my work and said to me, 'You know, you're fearless with color,' and I said, 'What's there to be afraid of?' You know -- it's color!" said Stanley.
And he's not afraid to use color, or even his fingers, if it achieves the desired effect in a painting.
"You don't need a degree to know what good art is. Good art is what you love. When you go into a restaurant, you don't have to have someone tell you what bad food is. When you spit it out, guess what? It's bad," said Stanley.
