MAY FLOWERS~A Floral Art Exhibition by Lisa Argentieri & Denis Ponsot at Campari Art House
MAY FLOWERS~FLORAL ART EXHIBITION
Welcome
to CAMPARI Art House's ongoing Arts Series featuring master visual
artists and musicians alike. This month, we are proud to present Master
Watercolorists Lisa Argentieri and Denis Ponsot in a dynamic, vibrant FLORAL EXHIBITION like you have not seen before. Both artists excel
at their signature style. Argentieri in her loose, spontaneous,
intuitive wet-into-wet explosive expression, and Ponsot, with his
needle's eye precision, deep concentrations of color and rich shadows.
While Argentieri's flowers dissipate into the page leaving the viewer a
world to imagine, Ponsot's detail will allow you to actually feel the
difference between the surface of the calyx of a flower and it's petals.
Bravo to both these talents for their achievements!
View these
great works of art to the accompaniment of the MUSIC OF THE HARP played
by virtuoso Miriam Shilling. Enjoy COMPLIMENTARY ART-INSPIRED HORS
D'OUEVRES by the brilliant Chef Danyell Miller. The exhibit is curated by curator/artist, Anu Annam.
Works on sale will be annotated. These paintings and their giclees will
make lovely gifts for Mother's Day, so come to the Opening so you can
get the one you want before it's snapped up!
Thank you, and may a good time be had by all!
