Sylvester Stallone exhibits paintings at St. Moritz art gallery


Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone may be known for his action movies, but a gallery in St Moritz is showing his other side – the artist.

At the opening of his first exhibition at Galerie Gmurzynska in St. Moritz, the ‘Rambo’ and ‘Rocky’ action star was overheard saying he believes himself to be a better painter than actor, reports the New York Post.

“If you feel a passion for something, you can move mountains,” he said of his talents.

Galerie Gmurzynska is showing 30 of Stallone''s abstract works painted over the past 35 years, and nearly all of the works in the show have sold for prices ranging from 50,000 dollars to 150,000 dollars.
