It Gets Me Higher

“I was born with asthma. My mother got me these great crayons and colored pencils and everything she could as long as she kept me on the couch not exerting my lungs. The career chose me. I just knew that I could draw these characters and it came naturally to me.” – Fabio Napoleoni

Lake Tahoe, a picturesque location of rolling mountains, glistening waters, and pristine shorelines, is the perfect place to unwind over the weekend or a long holiday. It is also home to the Marcus Ashley Gallery, which showcases some of the world’s finest collections by local, national, and international artists. The Fabio Napoleoni art on display will enthrall you with its fascinating characters and moving narratives.

It Gets Me Higher is the artist’s graphic representation of how music elevates the senses. Marcenivo is seen soaring skyward in this giclee as he tunes into his favorite song. It is those first few notes that spark a memory of a place, person, or fond experience. The artist conveys this beautifully through his iconic rag doll character.

Napoleoni relies on rich and subdued tones to create a minimalist composition of purposeful brushwork. It Gets Me Higher taps into a familiar place within us where the heart pounds to the beat of a special song.
