Market on Bag 24″ x 36″ This compelling work of art follows in a series that Asher began following an extended stay in Ghana, West Africa. The Market place is much like a Caribbean Market, including the people. He found many similarities between West Africa and the Caribbean, and ever so often, these parallels creepinto…
We welcome Larry Catanzaro to the group of artist represented by Art and Soul. Larry is a long time resident of Grenada. His extensive travel has inspired his work, and the symbols of many cultures find their way into his detailed works.

To build, to exchange currency, to tear down…if you are important enough your likeness is turned into stone and kept for a future generation. to view. And someone might…
Asher has painted Bob Marley a few times–ok that is an understatement. Asher has painted Bob Marley a lot of times! This painting, however, takes on a new feeling. Besides the resting Bob, Asher has added an organic imagination to the painting. Maybe it was the influence of his recent trip to Barcelona, Spain. I…
