10 Beautiful Art Works From Chelsea

Chelsea, once known as the meat packing district on the west side, has become a popular capital for the art scene in New York. Many galleries have moved onto the blocks from 20th to 28th street between 10th and 11th avenues. Of course you don't have to be a buyer or an artist to visit these galleries.

I came across Axelle, a fine art gallery on 25th street. They're having an exhibition by one of my favorite painters, Michel Delacroix. He's a French contemporary art painter from Paris. His subjects for his paintings are usually scenes from Paris or France. They're very beautiful and you can just stand in front of his works and admire them. Of course there are many other works besides his. If you'd like some artistic stimulation it's definitely worth the visit.
