Chelsea’s Agora Gallery announced they will host a collective art exhibition consisting of three parts that is scheduled to run from September 8, 2009 through September 29, 2009.
Cary Gang’s awe-inspiring works of pure abstraction inspire the spirit in their symphony of colors. Imparting her bold sense of gesture to the canvas, the artist entrances the viewer with kinetic energy and rhythmic movement. Sweeping color across the surface in bold undulating strokes or reaching up and down with intense verticality, Gang’s works are vibrantly imbued with an innate musicality and constant energy. Her paintings recall the street influenced compositions of 1980’s master Jean Michel Basquiat, while harkening back to the vital painting methods of the Active painting school of the Abstract Expressionist movement, spearheaded by Jackson Pollock. But, by adding her own unique spin, Gang infuses each staccato stroke and every legato line with the unmistakable essence of music, leading the eye on a nearly auditory journey of artistic expression.
Pulsing with vibrant energy, Color Immersion displays the expressive, central role that an artist’s palette plays in the creation of a painting. Crafting their personal inspirations in a variety of styles, this exhibition features a collection of painters that are united in their understanding of the intimate relationship between color and emotion. A Maze of Milieu is an enchanted voyage through eddying colors, majestic landscapes and smooth panoramas that dare viewers to be swept away by the brilliance of the world around us. Idiosyncratic Expressions is an exhibition that offers viewers a deeper story through twisted sculptures of recycled aluminum, veneers applied to natural cuts of wood that appear at first glance to be paintings, and where Americana and Japanese manga collide. Audiences will be moved by the striking and distinctive viewpoints presented in the works of art in this spectacular collective.
