Only A Fool Would Try

“There’s a lot of things that are childlike in my artwork that I just adore and I think that’s what draws people in.” – Fabio Napoleoni

Nestled in the heart of Lake Tahoe is the prestigious Marcus Ashley Gallery. The establishment maintains a lively, inviting atmosphere that draws visitors from far and wide. Several artists, eminent figures, and private collectors travel to Lake Tahoe to view and acquire the gallery’s eclectic exhibits. Fans and collectors will be thrilled to know that the gallery is a sought-after location to view and buy Fabio Napoleoni art.

After witnessing a live match between Marvin Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard, the artist developed a keen interest in boxing. In Only a Fool Would Try, he showcases his love for the sport by capturing Marcenivo in a defensive stance.

In this painting, the rag doll dons a tough exterior as he prepares to take down anyone who tries to come between him and the heart he’s fiercely protecting. Napoleoni draws a slightly ripped flap on Marcenivo’s chest with tiny hearts floating through and around him. As the overpowering strength of his love takes over, he is primed to tackle “any fool that would try separating him from his heart.”
