The small seaside towns of Cornwall, England have nurtured many famous impressionist artists, attracted by its beauty and tranquility. John Ambrose has been capturing these atmospheric scenes since 1962. His water glistens and shimmers, his clouds flow majestically across the sky and the jetties, boats and buildings, contracting with the dark against the light, are testaments to his mastery of chiaroscuro.

Vincenzo Laricchia was born in January, 1940 in Italy. He was educated at the Accademia of Belle Arti, Naples and Accademia Tibernia and, at the young age of 30, was honored by the Italian President as the most outstanding living painter in Italy. His work is steeped in the tradition of the masters of the 1700’s and 1800’s and is exhibited throughout Europe and the world.

Latour was born in 1935, studied art in Paris and lived there until recently moving to the USA. The paintings of Latour are best known for the beautiful colors of French flower markets, city scenes or a barge along a river. His technique is bold and loose, his palette and brushwork full with paint. This artist brings serenity to the viewer with this unique combination of style and subject.

Patrice Marchal was born in Abijan, on the Ivory coast of West Africa in 1963. He now works and lives in France. Marchal spent most of his growing up years in Morocco, where the arid climate of the desert, merging with the dark red of Morocco deeply influenced his sense of colors and contrasts. His work is inspired by the impressionists, especially the work of Alfred Sisley. He has a passion for all nature, especially wild flowers, set against the panorama of vast blue skies. Marchal’s work is held in private collections throughout Europe and the United States.

Paul Naller was born in Rennes, France in December, 1939. Paul’s innate ability was discovered at an early age when he won the gold prize for a city wide art competition and won an L’Ecole des Beaux Arts Scholarship. His schooling allowed him to experiment and push the boundaries of his skill and sensitivity to the basic foundations of the art world. He was especially interested in the textures and colors connected to palette knife painting, which he practiced incessantly. Paul paints anything that has a solid composition and a dramatic light play, using strong, vibrant and rich colors to demonstrate his versatility and skills as a palette knife painter.

Michael Rozenvain was born in Kiev in the Ukraine in 1963.  He attended art school in Kiev and later studied at the Lvov Academy of Applied Art.  He immigrated to Israel in 1990.  The sensual language and texture takes precedence over the subject matter, but the flowers are always present in all their rich full-blown glory.  Vitality is unquestionably the foremost feature of his subject matter and stays in the mind’s eye long after seeing his work.  Rozenvain has exhibited his work throughout the United States and Israel, as well as Johannesburg and the UK.

Francesco Tammaro was born in Naples in 1939.  He received his formal art training at the Instituto D’Arte di Napoli.  For decades, Tammaro’s works have received critical acclaim, especially his knack for creating poetically veiled pictorial expression.  The artist’s most notable sale was a piece entitled “The Farmer’s House,” which sold at auction in New York for $10,000.  The buyer had a tavern rebuilt in his house exactly as Tammaro had portrayed it in his painting!  His work has been exhibited throughout Europe and the United States.
