NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery is set to showcase the original works of Spanish artist Franck Sastre in the exhibition "Enigmatic Realms." The event will commence on December 29, 2016, and run until January 18, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, December 29, from 6-8 PM.
Franck Sastre’s paintings are a vivid testament to the power of color and composition. Utilizing a palette dominated by red and black, Sastre crafts multi-colored images that captivate the viewer's attention. His work is a blend of various techniques, textures, and materials, drawing inspiration from iconic artists like Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Sastre’s goal is to evoke new sensations of color that stir emotions within the observer. By incorporating bright yellows, greens, and blues, he breathes life into each piece, creating a dynamic sense of spontaneity.
Sastre’s artistic repertoire includes oils, acrylics, and ink, applied to diverse surfaces such as canvas, wood, cardboard, and carton board. This variety adds a tangible presence to his precise style. His images are characterized by clean lines and basic geometric shapes, providing a solid foundation for his experiments, which range from realistic figures to bold abstractions. Sastre resides and works in Vigo, Spain, where he continues to push the boundaries of contemporary art.
