Since first opening in 1994, Principle Gallery has been dedicated to exhibiting the best of American and European Contemporary Realism. Focusing on paintings in oil and bronze sculpture, the gallery represents emerging, mid-career, and established artists with a distinct personal approach to their work. Principle Gallery gains great exposure for its artists through solo exhibitions, selective group shows, and national art fairs. In the summer of 2013, Principle expanded it's unique aesthetic to the the historic French Quarter of Charleston, South Carolina. This second location continues the tradition of showing fantastic representational art by emerging as well as established fine artists, and is an active player in the surrounding Charleston community. Both locations work closely with their collectors to find personal and lasting fine art for their homes, offices, and more.
