Martin Lawrence Galleries Beach Street San Francisco Hosts Artist and ... - San Francisco Chronicle (press release)
Martin Lawrence Galleries invites you to meet artist Francois Fressinier as they unveil his latest original paintings.
Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) October 16, 2011
Martin Lawrence Galleries Beach Street, San Francisco, is proud to introduce internationally acclaimed artist and visionary poet, François Fressinier, at an exhibition of his latest original paintings on Saturday, October 15th from 7-9 pm. This will be Fressinier's premier show at Martin Lawrence Galleries since joining forces with their gallery network in 2010.
Born in Cognac, France to scholarly portrait photographer parents with an affinity for aesthetics, François Fressinier has developed a unique enchanting style that combines captivating female figures with ancient architecture. The inspiration for his work is drawn from his admiration of masters such as Rembrandt, Van Dyke and Bonnard, as well as his love of France's Gallo-Roman ruins and Gothic churches. The artist has stated that "Art is something you cultivate; it is alive! My joy of painting is to listen to the piece and to have a discussion with it. Each one has its own personality."
"We are very proud and excited to have been chosen to hold the very first Fressinier "Meet the Artist" event," states Gallery Director, Alexandra Ruhfel. Works are already selling at a very rapid rate throughout our galleries. We encourage collectors to visit us immediately to reserve their favorite works. She adds that, "The evening of the event, Fressinier, will be on hand to speak about the inspiration for his paintings as well as personally dedicate any purchased works."
Martin Lawrence Galleries has eleven fine art galleries across the United States in New York, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Dallas, Las Vegas, La Jolla, Newport Beach, San Francisco (two locations) and Maui. The Vegas gallery, which opened in August 2011, occupies an unprecedented 26,000 square foot space in The Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace and is the largest gallery in the United States.
Martin Lawrence Galleries has loaned over 250 artworks to 32 world-class museums around the globe, including the Museu Picasso, Barcelona, the Tate Museum, Liverpool, The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C..
