Stallone’s Russian art exhibition a success

By Webmaster on October 28, 2013 / 1 min read

Sylvester Stallone’s recent art exhibition at the world’s biggest museum of Russian art in Saint Petersburg has been hailed as a success.

The action star unveiled a retrospective of his abstract paintings which won praise from the curators at the State Russian Museum.

Stallone said it was an honour to show his works in Russia’s historic capital. He also added that if he had a choice, he would spend his life painting and sculpting instead of starring in action movies.

Stallone unveils art

The exhibition was entitled ‘Sylvester Stallone. Art. 1975-2013’ and attracted a crowd of about 1,000 people who stood in line on opening day to enter the museum in the centre of Russia’s second city.

Stallone, an Academy-award nominated actor, director and screenwriter, studied art before his film career took off, and has also had shows in Switzerland and Miami.

The museum website describes Stallone’s works as “comments on the events in his creative and personal life” that focus on the use of bright colours.

    Hello Mr.Stallone, I only saw some of your work on the web. I do have to say I like it. When I was little and even I always liked art. I was born with a teterolgy of Fallot(I think your daughter was born with something like that) had open heart in 1970 after a BT shunt failed..and I had a overprotective mom so that is how I started my art apprication.. But when your daughter was born and I remember thinking I wasn't weird anymore because there was some else who had the same as me.. It encouraged me to challenge myself and enjoy life. Now that I am other my heart is slowing me down more than I want it to then I think that I am still special as I see how you over came your challanges and turn them into positives.. Thank You for your example on determination and grit.. I love your movies,writing and your art... Thanks again for just being you!
