See the Story Unfold in Nicole Kallenberg’s Paintings

Nicole Kallenberg says that capturing shifts from darkness to light is at the center of her technique as a painter, but her images have a narrative presence that makes them far more than tonal exercises.

Depicting young women seemingly caught by the artist unawares, Kallenberg’s paintings demonstrate a finely developed skill for handling light and its effects, but also show her talent for dynamic compositions. The bodies are positioned in a way that feels natural and unforced while exerting a strong, almost theatrical power. One senses the emotions that lurk behind exteriors that can seem deceptively calm.
A native of Texas, Kallenberg says her Tex-Mex roots are a factor in the color palette of her works. Purple, blue, red and yellow all take on a light-infused intensity that gives her paintings a visceral energy and quiet depth that result in a subtle yet powerful contrast. The viewer’s eye is put into constant motion, but that motion is placed in an elegant setting that channels it in a way that is at once provocative and peaceful.

About the Exhibition
Agora Gallery, NYC is delighted to present two exhibitions that contain the joy and zest of spring, giving viewers a feeling of optimism, energy and hope. In Sensorial Perspectives viewers can appreciate the elegant, intricate approach that leads to works that are both engaging and visually stunning. Careful observation grounds every piece, demonstrating the power that a real connection to the world and its mysteries has in the creative process, but each artist brings their own unique perspective and magic to their work, with dazzling consequences. The Essence of Abstraction provides a feast for the eyes, presenting the work of artists who allow their glowing inner conviction and inspiring sense of reality and its fully dynamic nature to spill out into their works, animating and enlivening each piece. The result is art that stirs the imagination and touches the heart.

The exhibitions open on March 2, 2013 and continue until March 22, 2013, with an opening reception on the evening of Thursday, March 14, at 6-8 pm. Art lovers are enthusiastically encouraged to attend and meet some of the talented artists who created the memorable and moving works on display.
