Paul Stanley bringing art 'phenomenon' to Atlanta gallery

Atlanta's Wentworth Gallery is adding another Rock & Roll Hall of Famer to its collection.

The Wentworth announced it will present a collection of works from KISS frontman Paul Stanley at its gallery in Phipps Plaza. The rocker is scheduled to make an appearance from 5-8 p.m. on Saturday, June 16.

The collection includes original paintings, mixed media originals, limited edition prints, and hand-painted acrylic sculptures. It is currently being showcased in other Wentworth Gallery locations throughout the U.S.

Stanley, who is the chief songwriter for KISS, penned anthems including "Detroit Rock City," "I Was Made For Lovin’ You," “Love Gun,” “God Of Thunder” and “Black Diamond." He also designed and created the iconic KISS logo.

Stanley, who returned to painting 10 years ago by creating portraits and abstracts, is more than dabbling in this creative medium. His art sales reach into eight figures, the Wentworth said. The gallery's announcement said Stanley's art often sells out during his three-hour appearance at shows.
