ART AT NARAYAN'S
A dining room with a changing story
Art brings another voice into the room. At Narayan's, rotating exhibitions can transform the restaurant into a living gallery, giving guests a new visual experience alongside food, conversation, and hospitality.
FOOD AND ART
Where food and art meet
The restaurant walls offer space for local artists, changing exhibitions, and creative dialogue. Whether guests arrive for dinner, drinks, or a private evening, the art adds texture to the experience and keeps the room alive with new stories.

Kevin Stewart
Kevin Stewart was born in the United States in St. Louis, Missouri. In 2016 Stewart moved from Atlanta, Georgia to Ekenäs, Finland. Once on new ground in a manner befitting a cultural ambassador, Stewart hit the ground running. To this day he utilizes a preacher's motif in his delivery. He also relies on his photography, providing visual aids if not references. Between 2016 and 2021 Stewart produced Poetry Nights in Ekenäs. Things were looking good for Poetry Nights until the Pandemic forced him to stop producing. Kevin hopes his blending and occasional painterly abstractions mixed with natural forms like flowers and small elements, stimulate guests to explore the illusion multi media imagery offers within its closed spaces. Much like improvisation in jazz the unraveling of thoughts where beauty begins to slip in ones sub consciousness and something more uncertain begins to compliment all while the flavors of the restaurant please the senses. All the works are limited editions and can be ordered directly from Kevin. Visit Narayan’s and see the in store price list.
