Meet KISS Frontman, Paul Stanley
The band KISS is not just a heavy metal band, it’s a rock merchandising empire. Probably no other rock band has parlayed their fame into more non-music revenue, perhaps other than Elvis Presley. The band’s list of merchandise includes comics, television, reality television shows, action figures, and tons of other KISS merchandise and memorabilia.
And KISS front man Paul Stanley is no exception. He will be exhibiting his oil and acrylic paintings, along with Giclee prints, at the Wentworth Gallery in Tysons Gallery in suburban McLean, Virginia.
If you can’t recall the different KISS characters, Stanley was the Starchild and is probably one the most recognizable of the ten different KISS members.
His collection over 100 painting, including one-of-a-kind pieces and limited edition prints, will be on display starting Saturday, October 7th at the gallery. And if you purchase a piece in advance, you get to attend a 1-hour VIP event where you’ll get to meet Paul, have your artwork personally autographed and pose with a photo with him. If you buy a piece at the show, you can also meet Stanley, but the pre-showing VIP event will be less crowded and more relaxed.
Here’s a link to some of his work, which includes images of KISS band members, as well as abstract and pop art. Prices ranges from $1,500 to over $65,000.
Besides singing for KISS for a three decades, and exhibiting and selling his painting since 2005, Stanley also starred in a production of The Phantom of the Opera, in Toronto for three months in 1999, where he played the lead role.
