NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will showcase the original works of Canberra-based artist Colin Grant in the exhibition "Portals of Perception." The event kicks off on March 10, 2017, and runs until March 30, 2017, with an opening reception scheduled for Thursday, March 16, from 6-8 pm.
Colin Grant's oil paintings are a mesmerizing blend of grandeur and subtlety. His canvases, some as large as four feet high, are a testament to his ability to make bold statements through art. The vibrant colors and passionate brush strokes create a dynamic interplay between vivid brights and sensual jewel tones. Within these expansive compositions, Grant meticulously renders animals, plants, and architectural elements with photorealistic precision. This tension between the grand and the intricate is where his images truly come to life.
Grant's recent works delve into the intersection of the visible and invisible worlds. He layers recognizable subjects—such as deer, birds, marble columns, and leaves—with fields of pure color and texture. These elements overlap, creating half-seen hints that suggest a deeper reality beneath the surface. This approach invites viewers to look beyond the obvious and explore the hidden layers of meaning in his art.
Born in Braidwood, New South Wales, Australia, Colin Grant now resides in Canberra, the nation's capital. He has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions across Australia, earning recognition for his unique artistic vision.
"Portals of Perception" is a group exhibition that brings together five painters of remarkable sensitivity. This exhibition, presented by Agora Gallery in March, showcases the diverse ways artists pay attention to detail—whether in portraiture, landscape, or abstract works.
Colin Grant's "Portals of Perception" offers a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of the visible and invisible worlds through his masterful oil paintings. The exhibition at Agora Gallery promises to be a captivating experience for art enthusiasts and collectors alike. Don't miss the chance to witness the intricate beauty and profound depth of Grant's work.
