Join us at Charles Krug for our new Artist Series in 2020. We will exhibit Layla Fanucci's artwork in our beautiful Redwood Cellars. Enjoy our wines while surrounded by incredible art.

Layla’s paintings have been exhibited in many galleries and museums worldwide. Notably, The Walter Wickiser Gallery in New York, The Christopher Hill Gallery in St. Helena, Andrews Art Museum in North Carolina, Chasen Gallery in Florida, Le Musee de Marrakech in Morocco, Lisa Freedman Fine Arts, 750 Wines Studio, VAM Art Inc., The Carrousel Du Louvre in Paris. Fanucci sold over 458 paintings up to $250,000. She has received many commissions and her works are in numerous private collections.

Part of Fanucci’s success lies in the very individual style of her paintings and the singular way she produces them. Fanucci works on her paintings in much the same way the centuries have worked on the cities she depicts, adding, subtracting, then adding again. She builds the images, layer upon layer, often plotting out three or four cities, and burring each under a fresh layer of paint, before constructing a new one on top. Often the earlier cities bleed through the more recent ones, creating a pentimento that suggests multiple dimensions in time and space.
