Agora Gallery Presents a Collective Exhibition

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.

Within her paintings, one may discover elements of Cubism, Folk Art, and Expressionism. But in fact her style eludes definition; Milanova will tailor her aesthetic approach to the subject rather than the opposite. Rich colors and linework greet Milanova’s audience, figural works where women rise from a medley of bright strokes, or purely abstract paintings that found their wellspring within a musical rhythm or quiet reverie. Her style is a personal interpretation of the world, irrepressibly bold and bright with a handling of oil paint that creates lush textures and is coupled with a wonderful sense for pattern.

In explaining why audiences are so engrossed with her paintings, one senses immediately the emotional quality of a piece; her style’s accessibility forms an immediate bond between viewer and artwork. Milanova’s work continues to inspire a great deal of international attention with exhibitions in Venice, Rome, Toronto, New York, and Paris. Milanova presently resides in Berlin. 

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. 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. 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.
