PAUL STANLEY - "Someone Said I Was Fearless With Color; What Is There To Fear?”
May 29, 2008, 16 years ago
KISS frontman Paul Stanley is featured in a new interview about his career as an artist. An excerpt from the story, conducted by Leslie Stroope for The Artist's Life, is available below:
His work is rich with bright explosions of color and texture, often touching on themes such as fears. Sometimes he prepares the canvas by texturing it with modeling paste, then layering acrylics of different viscosities over top, using his fingers, brushes, home painting tools or anything else that can apply paint to it. “Someone said I was fearless with color,” Stanley says. “I said, ‘What is there to fear?’”
Art allows him to explore, he says. With music, “there are certain restrictions - it’s the nature of the beast - whereas in painting the limit is the edge of the canvas. Whatever goes on within it is up to you. There are no rules.”
