The gallery’s next exhibit will feature artworks of Leonid Afremov, a Russian–Israeli modern impressionistic artist who works mainly with a palette knife. Exhibit opening will coincide with our sponsored Music on Chicago event, a summer outdoor live music series, beer garden, and Open Air Market by the gallery (Chicago and Main) and hosted by Greater Freeport Partnership: Main Street.

Leonid Afremov was born in Vitebsk, Belarus in 1955. Displaying an aptitude for art at an early age, Afremov was encouraged to pursue his natural talent. Afremov then attended the Vitebsk Education Institute where he studied in the arts and graphics department. During his years at school, he was introduced to the works of Chagall, Picasso, and Dali, all of whom would heavily influence Afremov’s work.
