Join Sultana Projects for the opening of noted painter Marc Castelli’s 2012 Downrigging Weekend Exhibition at the Carla Massoni Gallery in Chestertown. Expect to see incredible renderings of watermen, workboats, and log canoes from an artist recognized for many years as a Modern Marine Master by the Mystic Seaport Maritime Museum. Castelli has been painting the workboats, watermen, and log canoes of the region for nearly twenty years. He is known for his intimate perspective on the watermen’s lives, a perspective gained by his active involvement on their workboats. His ability to capture the majesty and action packed races of the Chesapeake Bay log canoes is due to his years serving as crew on these historic vessels.

This year’s exhibition will feature over thirty new watercolor paintings including work inspired by Castelli’s trip to the South Coast of England to revisit the Solent and the 2012 J Class Regatta. The Downrigging Exhibition also serves as the premier of the eleventh in the series of his Chesapeake Bay Log Canoe Prints.
