When founder Warren Adelson\u2019s children, Adam and Alexa, moved their Boston-based gallery to Worth Avenue in Palm Beach in 2018, it became a fixture in the Palm Beach Art Community. \u201cThe program for our Palm Beach gallery focuses primarily on the 20 Contemporary Artists that we represent,\u201d says Adelson. \u201cTogether, the artists are aesthetically eclectic; however, individually, we hope that visitors will identify with each artwork and discover their respective beauty and meaning.\u201d [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”5739″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1702481335656{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Adelson Galleries hosts sculptures from various artists and Adelson appreciates the engagement factor that sculpture adds. \u201c[We] enjoy artwork that engages the viewer. A free-standing or wall sculpture in your home that literally pops out at you is more likely to draw you in, rather than blend into your home.\u201d Sculpture engages in such a way that visitors to your home can become \u201cactive participants in the artwork, instead of passive observers,\u201d notes Adelson.<\/p>\n

The blend of classic and contemporary comes alive in P\u00e1ris. Italian born artist Massimiliano Pelletti hails from Pietrasanta, which is the home of the quarry that provided Michelangelo with the marble used for David. This centuries old tradition of carving transforms in a modern way at the hand of Pelletti. \u201cHe\u2019ll use a variety of onyx and combines the stones, whether it\u2019s rose or emerald, and then he carves it in this very classical format producing this amazing effect,\u201d says Adelson. \u201cYou\u2019re drawn into it because of all the different colors and then you see the incredible detail of white and brown onyx.\u201d [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_single_image image=”5901″ img_size=”728×90″ alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” qode_css_animation=”” link=”https:\/\/palmbeachpatiofurniture.com\/”][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_single_image image=”5743″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”5747″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1702824770699{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”5746″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1702824290317{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text]\u201cThe Palm Beach Fine Art scene has a diverse range of galleries. It encompasses everything from traditional to contemporary and avant-garde artists. The diversity attracts a wide array of art enthusiasts and collectors from around the world.\u201d That diversity is also represented in the works on exhibit at Adelson Galleries. Moreover, Adelson aims to inspire and delight visitors and collectors through art. \u201cIn an increasingly complex world, I have seen a movement towards artwork that is more easily understood and identifiable\u2026our clients appreciate the fact that the art we show makes them smile.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#bababa”][vc_single_image image=”5902″ img_size=”728×90″ alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” qode_css_animation=”” link=”https:\/\/gambaleinsurancegroup.com\/”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#bababa”][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_single_image image=”5736″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1702824246822{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text]The lightness and beauty founded in tradition that the gallery embodies is well represented in Figure Turning Right by Montreal, Canada born artist Jim Ritchie. \u201cHe experimented a lot with patinas. This was one of his favorites. It\u2019s a black patina. From a distance it\u2019s hard to tell if it\u2019s black marble or granite, but it\u2019s actually bronze,\u201d according to Adelson. \u201cIt\u2019s the largest bronze that we have and it\u2019s on this natural granite base. This was very deliberate because it has that nice contrast to it.\u201d Adelson Galleries, along with Ritchie\u2019s son, Paul Leander-Engstr\u00f6m, now manage the estate of Jim Ritchie. There will be an upcoming exhibit of much of Ritchie\u2019s work at the Baie-Saint-Paul Contemporary Art Museum in Qu\u00e9bec from November 25th through June 2nd.
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text]Adelson Galleries also has sculpture from Federico Uribe on exhibit. Always adding to their collection, guests and collectors can view unique works that inspire and offer a distinctive experience. \u201cIt is the intention of the majority of our artists to bring joy into people\u2019s homes and lives.\u201d Adelson believes that \u201cpeople want a respite from current events and painful news, so their collections reflect a more positive perspective. It follows the old anecdote that when a painter is happy, they paint dark compositions. When a painter is sad, they paint flowers.\u201d [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#bababa”][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1697575796795{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
