New York, NY (1888PressRelease)
June 22, 2009 - Chelsea’s Agora Gallery announced they will launch an art exhibition consisting of four parts that is scheduled to run from July 21, 2009 through August 11, 2009. Literally reaching out into the abyss, Labyrinth of Color finds artists as they approach the deepest regions of our real and imagined space. Radiant colors shine forth, as each artist travels into the unknown, bringing back surreal visions of our universe to share with audiences. Visitors will enjoy exploring and interpreting the messages so brilliantly expressed through the power of color.
Metamorphosis is a captivating journey into the hearts and minds of a talented grouping of artists with unique backgrounds and experiences. The works explores the possibilities beyond our ordinary perception, keying into personal insights, metaphysical concepts, and timeless mysteries beyond each corner is a new way of perceiving the world that will electrify fans of contemporary art. For art lovers who are seeking unbridled visionary painting, they need search no longer. The Portal to Enigma collects three contemporary artists whose visionary works defy easy definition as they craft personal revelations with a powerful, expressive force.
This phenomenal selection of paintings confronts the viewer with poetic visual puzzles and graceful statements about the human subconscious. The versatility displayed in the works of The Persistence of Form underscores the idea that as long as people dream and imagine art will never cease to exist, inspire, and bring about contemplation in others. These talented artists bring their thoughts and feelings to reality in a stunning variety of styles and forms that will touch audiences long after viewing the painting.
Sensuous lines, textures, and shadows interplay against abstracted backgrounds of sophisticated color in the highly unique paintings of Aktrice Edith Egger. Incorporating the skilled techniques of the Renaissance painters into a contemporary imagining of emotional scenes, Egger ventures forth into new territories as a true artistic visionary. Capturing with breathtaking sensitivity the soft touch of shadow upon surface, Egger’s paintings portray a remarkable sense of naturalism; the illusion interrupted only by the painterly monochromatic backgrounds that characterize her work. This keen eye for detail reveals itself further in Egger’s poetic examination of contrasting subjects and materials: fragile versus durable, hard versus soft, light 1against dark, alive and inanimate.
These stimulating juxtapositions create a heightened sense of drama, which reverberates just below the beautiful surface. Aktrice Edith Egger has formally trained as an artist throughout Europe and counts Titian, Rubens, and Rembrandt, among others as some of her primary influences. A member of the International Art Association and the Artist’s Union, she lives and works in Carinthia.
