Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature German artist, Dr. Lusine Breitscheidel, in its premier exhibition Contemporary German Art: The New York Experience. The exhibition is scheduled to run from March 23, 2010 through April 13, 2010 (opening reception: Thursday, March 25, 2010).
Mysterious, poignant, surreal, visionary. There are many words that aptly describe the work of Armenian artist, Dr. Lusine Breitscheidel, who possesses a painterly virtuoso and expansive imagination. A step into Breitscheidel’s world is two steps away from ordinary reality. Beautiful environs, pastoral or urban, splay out toward radiant horizons, the inhabitants of which are presented in varying degrees of realism. There may be unassuming jeans-clad suburbanites in one piece while another may feature supernatural characters with horns, wings, or exposed bones. Even in the most seemingly ordinary tableau there is always the sense of impending commotion, as if at any moment the scene’s peace may be shattered. Breitscheidel’s approach to painting is heavily stylized, incorporating the energetic brushwork of German Expressionists with brilliant patterns in the spirit of Gustav Klimt. Perception plays a big role in her work. “I am able to see the world from many different perspectives, including yours, and transform this vision through language of colors into unique pieces of work,” she says.
Breitscheidel lives and works in Munich, Germany.
