We Keep It Together

“This piece is about not quitting or giving up. Don’t let negativity tear things apart. Hope is that rock, heavy and going nowhere.” – Fabio Napoleoni

The Marcus Ashley Gallery has an extensive collection that includes many fascinating works. Visitors can spend hours in the company of some of the greatest works by past and present artists. Whether you’re an avid collector or just a beginner, there’s something for everyone at the gallery. You’ll find the Fabio Napoleoni art particularly intriguing for its soulful narratives and wholesome compositions.

According to the artist, We Keep It Together represents holding onto hope and not letting negativity get the better of a situation. Napoleoni depicts Marcenivo tugging a heart across a dangerous crack in the earth. The world appears brighter as lights twinkle across the landscape, but that’s just the calm before the storm. Ominous clouds can be seen rolling towards the character, even as he stands his ground, giving it all he’s got in his attempt to save the heart.

There will be times in our lives when we’re barraged with negative comments about something or someone we believe in. Napoleoni shows us how we mustn’t succumb to naysayers. We Keep It Together is the perfect example of championing hardships through hope.
