Gallery Stanek Gallery For nearly a decade, Stanek Gallery has been a vibrant hub of creativity in Philadelphia, fostering a community where artists and collectors alike are united by a shared vision and deep-rooted passion for the arts. Now, this cherished gallery embarks on a bold and significant expansion, opening its doors in Miami’s dynamic Little River neighborhood. After a warmly celebrated Grand Opening this October, Stanek Gallery will further captivate the art world with a meticulously curated booth during Miami Art Week. This showcase will feature the distinguished artists of Stanek Gallery, including Gary Weisman, Stanka Kordic, and Victor Grasso amongst others, representing a diverse range of works across abstract, figurative, surrealist, and other genres. A must-see for art enthusiasts, it offers a compelling introduction to the remarkable and deeply meaningful collection of work that has earned Stanek Gallery its esteemed reputation. Founded in 2015, Stanek Gallery is a women-owned small business with a mission to curate harmonious and captivating exhibitions that unite the distinct styles of modern masters and emerging talents. Led by a hardworking team of three—Owner and Director Katherine Stanek, Philadelphia Gallery Director Jennifer Bedford, and Public Relations Coordinator Isabella Del Signore—the gallery has remained true to its founding vision while expanding its presence. The gallery’s small but highly skilled team ensures a uniquely personalized experience for collectors, offering an intimate level of care from experts deeply versed in every facet of the gallery’s operations. What sets Stanek Gallery apart is its artist-driven ethos, as it has consistently been run by artists for artists. Katherine Stanek, a distinguished artist, curator, and fine art collector, brings a multifaceted perspective that enriches the gallery’s curatorial approach. This synthesis of expertise and artistic insight creates a profound resonance with both collectors and the artists they represent, promoting a rare, forward-thinking gallery model. Stanek Gallery’s impact on the art world is further reflected by their collaborations with prominent museums and institutions such as The Barnes Foundation, The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and scholars from across the country. Their exhibitions have inspired many, including the creation of the best-selling art book “Disrupted Realism: Paintings for a Distracted World” by John Seed, foreword written by Katherine Stanek. Stanek Gallery is closely tied to the Disrupted Realism movement, which focuses on the works of contemporary painters who are redefining Realism using elements of abstraction. Gallery artists Valerio D’Ospina, Stanka Kordic, and Bruce Samuelson are prominent figures in the documentation of this trend.
