Antoine Soued On view July 3rd - 26th at 508 Main St. Warren RI

Opening July 3rd, 6-8pm. open to public

Gallery hours - Thursday - Sunday 3-6pm

    From under the red lights of barrooms to neon lights of architecture school, Antoine Soued poured his blues drenched soul into cheap whiskey and black ink.

An architect by day dressed in minimal attire and spit-shined shoes, he sheds his adopted persona comes nighttime, and disappears into his self-created deranged reality of villains, superheros and tobacco women.

With no retirement plan or a trust fund, he wanders about looking for an interesting view to consume, absorb, and then spit out on the whiteness of a paper. 

His vagabond days have led him on some peculiar sketching routes, between the cool of the evening on a Parisian boulevard to watching the sun come up overTokyo's skyline.

His only published work, to date, is an auto-portrait that hangs on the wall of one of Beirut's oldest barbershops.

Bon voyage.

    Stephen Brunelli (born 1978, Providence, Rhode Island) is a contemporary painter based in Providence, Rhode Island, USA. Known for his vivid color palette and textured canvases, Stephen’s work explores human emotions through a narrative and expressionistic style.

    Stephen has exhibited in solo and group shows across New York City, Boston, and Providence. Working in the community, Stephen initiated an art program for Somali refugees, founded a community writer’s group at the local library, and completed several city-funded murals.

    Traveling from New York City to Austin, Texas, selling this work on the street, Stephen gained a dedicated following of collectors, both in the US and Europe. He is currently a member of the Hotpoint Emporium Artist Coop in Bristol, Rhode Island, and recently completed an artist residency at Château Orquevaux in northeastern France.

    Stephen is presently working on a new series of large-scale paintings for a June 2025 exhibition at the Collaborative Gallery in Warren, RI, focusing on themes of loneliness and isolation. Additionally, he is writing a fictional novel exploring time travel and dreams in an era of rapid technological advancement.
