“Elvis I” – Limited Edition, Serigraph, Hand Signed by the Artist. Archivally Framed
This unusual portrait of Elvis is done in the style of Andy Warhol. Ronnie's original drawing of Elvis is reproduced many times over, each in a different shade of color. Perhaps Ronnie was using the pop art style to show how overused Elvis' image has become, and to uncover the man behind his fame. This is state one of two.
Visitors to the Arete Gallery exhibition can expect to see a range of Wood's works, from intimate portraits of his bandmates to vibrant depictions of live performances. Each piece offers a glimpse into the world of a rock legend who has seamlessly transitioned from stage to studio, continuing to captivate audiences with his creative prowess.

As fans and art enthusiasts alike explore the gallery, they are invited to experience the depth and breadth of a career that transcends traditional boundaries.
