Richard Overstreet has been given carte blanche.
Stanislao Lepri was born in Rome in 1905 into an aristocratic family and pursued a career in diplomacy. His encounter with Leonor Fini profoundly changed his life, leading him to begin painting at the age of 37, drawing heavily from surrealism. He settled in Paris, on Rue de Payenne, in 1946 and exhibited his works around the world, collaborating with prominent figures in the art market such as Alexander Iolas or Jean Charpentier.
When creating, Stanislao Lepri draws inspiration from the art of theater. Between fantastical atmospheres, dreamlike worlds, macabre visions, and spirituality, his art is metaphysical, inviting the viewer to enter his personal visions and thoughts. Sometimes melancholic, sometimes demonic, the creatures that take shape on his canvases remind us, with irony, of the absurdity of the human condition.

The gallery
Founded in April 2022 in Paris by Raphael Durazzo, Galerie Raphael Durazzo (23 rue du Cirque – 75008 Paris) has chosen out of passion to champion the avant-garde movements of the 20th century. After starting his professional life in the banking sector, Raphael Durazzo quickly felt the desire to pursue the passion for art that has always driven him. He attended online art history courses in the evenings, met collectors, brokers, and inaugurated his own gallery in the former Pierre Cardin boutique, in this neighborhood of the 8th arrondissement that has become the meeting point for prominent collectors, both French and foreign.
