NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery is set to showcase the original works of Chicago-based artist David Gista in the "Emerging Visions" exhibition. The event will commence on January 21, 2017, and run through February 10, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, January 26, from 6-8 PM.
David Gista, born in Paris, France, honed his skills in drawing, painting, printing, and sculpture at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts. Gista's unique style is a tapestry woven from his travels and a diverse array of artistic influences spanning centuries. His paintings are characterized by vibrant waves of color that evoke the elements of sky, earth, and water, creating a rich, textured, quilt-like effect.
Gista's artwork delves into the complexities of human existence and offers a critique of contemporary society. "My attempt is to express the contradiction between hyper communication and growing solitude and alienation," Gista explains. "How appearances deceive us and keep us apart from each other, and how technology takes over our public and individual liberties." His art invites viewers to ponder the forces that shape our world, emphasizing that "Art does not give you answers; it asks questions and deepens mystery."
David Gista divides his time between the bustling city of Chicago and the serene French countryside, drawing inspiration from both environments.
The "Emerging Visions" exhibition will feature a diverse group of artists, each bringing their unique perspective and technique to the forefront:
Opening this January, "Emerging Visions" is a dynamic group exhibition that showcases innovative approaches to art. The exhibition features seven artists who push the boundaries of traditional media, creating works that are both thought-provoking and visually stunning.
The exhibition includes a variety of artistic styles and techniques:
The artists in "Emerging Visions" are interdisciplinary chameleons, blending different media and techniques to create unique works of art. For example, one artist assembles pieces from recovered panels painted by others, blurring the lines between sculpture and painting. Another artist combines traditional flat media with found objects, challenging the boundaries of collage, sculpture, and painting.
David Gista's work in the "Emerging Visions" exhibition offers a profound exploration of human existence and modern culture. His unique style and thought-provoking themes invite viewers to question and contemplate the world around them.
