Three Part Group Exhibition at Agora Gallery

Three Part Group Exhibition at Agora Gallery

Elemental Realms, Sensorial Realities, The Substance of Abstraction

For Immediate Release

NEW YORK, NY January 05, 2010– Chelsea’s Agora Gallery is pleased to host a three part collective exhibition that is scheduled to run from February 02, 2010 through February 23, 2010.

Influenced by a range of sources, from Native American to the masters of Western Art, the works collected in Elemental Realms explore not only the world we live in, but also the world that lives within each of us. In Sensorial Realities, great artists strive towards natural and honest personal expression, knowing well the debt owed to those who have come before them. Unabashedly bold expression and uniquely crafted artworks await audiences in The Substance of Abstraction. Unusual, fascinating forms are the result of a personal journey into the world of art; these artists have left behind aesthetic conventions and recognizable forms while developing into a true abstraction.
