German-born artist Mally Khorasantchi has lived in Florida for more than 30 years. She produces large-scale paintings that are influenced by this region's flora and fauna, from mangrove roots to honeycombs to palm fronds.
Artis Naples has a first floor gallery in which the work of a local artist is displayed for a year.
For 2026, Ms. Khorasantchi has been chosen to exhibit her works.
They are appealing and encourage a viewer to spend time looking at the details. I photographed the exhibition during the day when Artis Naples was pretty empty. A few days ago I attended a concert (with the fabulous violinist Joshua Bell the featured soloist) and this gallery was so packed I couldn't get in.
It is always good to see the work of an artist. But her paintings are so large they can only be hung in an art museum.
