NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery is set to showcase the original works of Elena Gastón Nicolás in the exhibition "Encounters: Nature and Culture." The event kicks off on March 13, 2018, and runs until April 3, 2018, with an opening reception on Thursday, March 15, from 6-8 pm.
Elena Gastón Nicolás employs a blend of acrylics and oils to create intricate, almost sculptural paintings that delve into spiritual and mystical themes. Her work often explores the interconnectedness of natural and spiritual worlds, presenting objects in their full, multifaceted ambiguity. This approach offers a fresh perspective on the concept of "spirit," emphasizing the vital processes that permeate our planet.
Gastón Nicolás uses both acrylics and oils to achieve her unique style. Acrylics provide a plastic, almost sculptural quality, while oils lend a more traditional, old-masterly feel. This combination allows her to create detailed, layered compositions that invite viewers to explore the deeper meanings within her work.
In her pieces "Camino de Baldosas Amarillas II" and "Camino de Baldosas Amarillas III," Gastón Nicolás captures the essence of natural settings with an uncanny universality. A yellow winding path snakes through the center of these compositions, contrasting with the verdant greens, browns, and blues that surround it. This dynamic use of color and form creates a sense of movement rarely seen in static paint on canvas.
The exhibition "Encounters: Nature and Culture" will also feature works by:
"Encounters: Nature and Culture" brings together six artists whose works highlight the subjective nature of objective understanding. Through realistic depictions, whether painted or photographed, each artist reveals how their unique perspective shapes their representation of the world.
The exhibition explores the tension between nature and culture, showing how each artist's hand inevitably deviates from purely factual descriptions to create a world of imagined truth. This theme is particularly relevant in today's world, where the line between reality and perception is increasingly blurred.
Elena Gastón Nicolás's work in "Encounters: Nature and Culture" offers a profound exploration of the spiritual and natural worlds. Her unique use of acrylics and oils creates dynamic, layered compositions that invite viewers to delve deeper into the interconnectedness of all things.
