The large–scale landscape paintings of Francis Di Fronzo, dynamic in both color and composition, portray the natural world with a sense of nostalgia and mystery. Di Fronzo’s beginnings as a realist are perfectly showcased in his impeccable approach to the leaves, trees, skies, waters, and boats that inhabit his paintings.

The Haen Gallery, located in downtown Asheville, NC will present “Inland Empire (Part III)”, an exhibition of new work by California artist Francis Di Fronzo. The exhibition will open on Saturday, March 20th with an artist’s reception, and continue through April.
