American artist born and raised in New York City.

Louis Venturelli (b. 1989) is an American abstract artist born and raised in New York City. His current series, inspired by museums throughout the world, explores the relationships, impressions, and memories we form through our encounters with cultural institutions and objects of artistic expression. Employing color and composition, Venturelli creates powerful artistic experiences that invite personal reflection and connection.

Since establishing his practice in 2020, Venturelli’s work has been featured in Vogue, Architectural Digest, ELLE Decor, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. His work is held in the permanent collection of the Branch Museum of Design and can also be found at The Moore Hotel in Chelsea, New York. His multidisciplinary practice encompasses photography, publishing, and collectible design: his first monograph, In the Pines (2024), sold out its first edition of 450 copies, while The Painting Chair marked his first foray into collectible furniture.

Venturelli’s paintings transcend visual representation, offering a compelling exploration of the enduring dialogue between viewers, cultural institutions, and the essence of artistic expression.
