The Agora Gallery (530 West 25th Street, Chelsea, New York, NY, 10001) is proud to present EdNa in Masters of the Imagination: The Latin American Art Exhibition. Scheduled to run from September 9th through September 30th, the collection will feature a captivating selection of EdNa’s unique works.
About EdNa:
Puzzling together an array of different mediums from collage to paint, EdNa defies the sleek and seamless that some artists hide behind. Too often we’re unable to see the artist behind the mask, but EdNa wants to show her face, her hard working hands. We’re meant to see her seams, the tape that connects two pieces of text or mends a tear. She intends for us to realize what it is to piece together a work of art and to stitch meaning into an image. Seeing the process results in an appreciation for art that is hard to come by in something more manufactured. Text is a recurring material and theme in EdNa’s work, proof that, as she’s stated, literature has been a determining factor in her life.
An understanding of the bricolage of the modern world guides her, bringing to light the idea that no art stands in isolation. The fragmenting and puzzling back together of images and shapes allows the audience to feel part of a collaboration. It is raw, unique, and ultimately timely.
