I was walking around the Mercato shopping center in Naples when I spotted this art gallery. East…read moreWest was founded in 2000 on Fifth by Olga Arkhangelskaya. Olga works alongside her daughter Leeza Arkhangelskaya who joined the business in 2013. According to the East West Fine Art website, they specialize in "contemporary international artists, with a focus on Russian and Eastern European fine art." There is a list of 80 artists on the website along with upcoming gallery events. I was drawn into East West by the art of Annalu who was born in San Donà del Piave, Italy. From the bio on the website, "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, as the Greek philosopher Thales believed. An artist disciple of metamorphosis intent to penetrate the mysteries of creation, 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." I am not an art critic so I am not sure what all of that means but I know I like it. Tiny colorful butterflies make up the leaves of trees while other pieces of art are colorful resin circles. Realistically it is all out of my price range but I enjoyed window shopping. If you are in the market to purchase, a Yelp check in can net net you $1,000 off certain pieces of art. I think that is the most money off I ever seen in a Yelp check in. Tucking that away for later. Seriously, these ladies are highly educated and obviously know what they are doing so if you are looking to purchase art in the Naples area, you will want to pay East West a visit.

We went here for the Matisse exhibit which goes till April. The place is small, has a cute gift…read moreshop but it's very noisy. Some ladies were taking over the lobby while we arrived, they were loud, it was chaotic, felt like stepping into somebody's private party. The actual exhibit is small, art on display is from last years of Matisse when he was having health issues. Not that impressive. Nice activity if you want to spend about an hour or less here. I didn't like the guided tour because they took over a decent part of the exhibit, we had to come back to check it out later. I enjoyed the artwork in the lobby, modern, contemporary and bold. Otherwise, very noisy place, hard to concentrate on art and enjoy it! Check their site for hours and current exhibits! $15 admission, a tad steep since it's a small place!

The Naples Art Association was founded in 1954 by E. George Rogers, Elsie Upham, and Grace Lake…read morealong with 34 other artists. The formed in order to create art, exhibit it, and teach art to others in the community. A public school art program was established that same year. In 1957, the Naples Art Association organized the first "Art in the Park." Still running today, it's thought to be Naples' oldest outdoor art show. In the 1970s, the Naples Art Association restored the Naples Depot with money they raised. They built studio spaces and held their first art exhibition in 1978. The next year they offered adult art classes and they continued providing educational programs at the Naples Depot until 1998. In 1980, their first annual spring art show was held in Cambier Park. As its known now, the Naples National Art Festival has become our largest fund raiser and is consistently rated among the top 10 art festivals in the country by Sunshine Artist Magazine.1980's In 1992, Naples Art began meeting with the Naples City Council for a lease agreement to provide 8,000 square feet of public land in Cambier Park to build a community art center. In 1995, city leaders signed an agreement and raised $3.5 million through private donations, including one from Suzanne and William von Liebig for whom the art center is named.1990's On November 22, 1998, Naples Art officially opened The von Liebig Art Center. Our 16,000 square foot, two-story facility features six studios, a main exhibition hall, rounds galleries, one of the area's largest art resource libraries, and a gift shop. Today their "mission is to enlighten, engage, educate, and enrich the community and to build on Naples Art's history and position of leadership as a hub of visual arts in Southwest Florida." Their vision is that "art can change lives and improve entire communities. Through our unique and engaging programs, classes, exhibitions, and events, Naples Art enhances communitywide appreciation for and understanding of the visual arts and supports artists of all ages and aspirations."

Next to an Andy Warhol soup can - there is the next generation of innovators who in sure homage, did a series of one perfume bottle in different colors and shading. The art work underscores the accomplishment of a fragrance line that uses no more than 8 notes to bottle a scent with a shelf life like Rx. Into the fridge you go. Reportedly, Kate Middleton wore one of these scents on her 2011 wedding day to the Prince. On a recent visit, there were three Pottorf paintings. The latest entitled "All" was dated 2011 and shows three statues of liberty and screen transfers of detail from US currency. It's a haunting piece, priced at $40k. More haunting is the evolution of Pottorf's work from his more abstract black & white period while his famous partner, RRauschenberg was still alive. Since RR's death, Pottorf has been eerily channeling the pop master's style and politique. Also here is a strong collection of paintings from a young Moscovite. They are a tormented lot in their subject matter, but two paintings caught my interest. Realstic post boxes in blue with a piece of orange banner, and worn and broken cyrillic lettering. Outside, there is a rotating laser light that projects a galaxy of tiny green, blue, and red light on the sidewalk.
