European Sojourn

10/06/2025 - 10/20/2025


“European Sojourn” exhibit of two abstract-impressionists

After exploring rugged northern France with Herve Lenouvel, escape to warm Italian beaches with Fabio Constantino.

Hervé Lenouvel consider himself a follower of fauvism – style of painting that flourished in France at the start of the 20th century.

His most well-known predecessors were Henry Matisse, Paul Gaugin, Maurice Vlaminck, famous for using pure, vivid colors, vigorously applied to the canvas.

This technique creates the effect of an explosion, burst of energy. Because of the intense expressiveness of their works, art critics labeled the painters “fauves”, that means “wild animals”.

Paint the Town with Joy!

11/03/2025 - 11/17/2025


We Neapolitans love our town and are proud that it continues to be recognized as the happiest city in America. Naples is growing and becoming more beautiful and sophisticated every year.

It is the perfect time for a biographer to come along, who depicts Naples’s life in the same joyful manner and happy perspective as all the citizens of Naples.

And this biographer has recently arrived – her name is Joy Stanley, and she is an artist. Many people come to the gallery and admire the places of Naples that they love, painted in “whim-storical” manner, as Joy calls it – history meets whimsy.

Experience the artist’s unique outlook on life depicting the architectural highlights of Naples we all know and love. Joy captures that elegance of Naples yet in a relaxed atmosphere on canvas that will make you smile and appreciate being a Neapolitan.

From New York to Naples, Irina Alexandrina captures the spirit of these two wonderful cities.

According to Alexandrina, cities are like people. They have their own characters, habits, inclinations. They have their own preferences and tastes, merits and faults.

Irina says that her painting style and artistic views were formed under the influence of Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Paul Cezanne, Jean Bérault. This is fully felt in the lightness and translucency of the images of Naples, Florida that she creates. The streets of Naples are depicted with sincere love. The artist manages to skillfully convey the special, incomparable charm of our southern town.

Irina’s Naples is exquisitely beautiful and friendly. It is a town that opens its arms to the people from all over the word and is always filled with romance and sophistication. It is the town of musicians and artists, the town that many great people call home and contribute to its unique culture and lifestyle.

Irina captures the essence of Naples with all its elegance in a tropical setting. Working “Plein Aire,” on location, allows her to evoke that true essence of Naples on canvas and the recognizable architecture we all admire.

Frozen Moments

dream catcher made from butterflies

04/06/2026 - 04/20/2026


Fresh, changeable and direct, Annalu’s art knows how to touch the spectator’s inner chords provoking the deepest sensations and recalling ancestral emotions.

The major focus of her works is on the theme of water, primeval central element of life. Water is the origin of all things: everything is made of water, and everything returns to water.

In the works of the Artist there is a sense of metamorphosis, in pas­sing, of evolution as a sort of journey between different states, between different realities, a spirit of inquiry that shares some typical aspects of the science of alchemy.

Annalu is capable of assembling in­congruent elements such as resins and paper, bark and fiberglass, bi­tumen and sand, cement and roots, to create new realities, suspended worlds where alchemy is lightness.

Her creations are a moment of abstraction that is constantly moving. The viewer experiences new realities within the artist ‘s imagination.
