Sylvester Stallone considers art career

22nd February 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Sylvester Stallone could retire to pursue a career as an artist, as he reportedly believes thats where his true talent lies.

The Hollywood star is renowned for appearing in action greats such as the Rocky and Rambo movies, and more recently The Expendables. Although he likes shooting movies, the 64-year-old enjoys a more leisurely pastime.

Sylvester is an accomplished painter, and his work is currently on show at the Galerie Gmurzynska in St. Moritz in Switzerland. He was overheard telling pals at the exhibition he believes his true vocation is in art, as hes better at drawing than acting.

If you feel a passion for something, you can move mountains, New York Post quotes him as saying.

The exhibition is made up of 30 paintings by the star, all done over the last 35 years. They include some self-portraits, and according to swissinfo.chd have been described by the gallery as colourful, abstract and expressive.

The paintings are on sale for between $50,000 and $150,000, although most have already found new homes.

The exhibition runs from February 18 to March 15. (C) Cover Media
