NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will showcase the original work of Swedish artist Kerstin Lundin in the exhibition "Idiosyncratic Expressions." Art enthusiasts who appreciate thought-provoking pieces and enjoy meeting talented artists are encouraged to attend.
The nonfigurative, expressionist collages of Swedish artist Kerstin Lundin are both expansive and soothing, transporting viewers into an ethereal realm rich in color and characterized by intriguing compositional configurations of line and geometric form. Utilizing oils and mixed media, Lundin "constructs" her paintings, allowing each image to develop and evolve uniquely. The result is abstract compositions that resonate with the human soul, expressing the depth of the modern human's interior landscape.
Lundin's collages offer endless possibilities, inviting viewers to revisit her paintings repeatedly, discovering new visual and emotional elements each time. Above all, Lundin aims for her audience to find a sense of freedom in her work, encouraging them to interact with the pieces and uncover hidden meanings. When asked about her images, Lundin consistently responds, "Make up your own mind about what you see and feel."
The exhibition "Idiosyncratic Expressions" features fourteen artists who perceive the world in fantastical ways. The range of works spans from observational to surreal to non-representational, in both painting and sculpture. Highlights include:
Agora Gallery is pleased to present "Idiosyncratic Expressions," a group exhibition featuring fourteen artists who view the world through a unique lens. The exhibition offers a spectrum of styles, from observational to surreal to non-representational, in both painting and sculpture. One artist presents extreme close-ups of figures and their remnants—clothing, boats, flowers in vases—captured from impossible angles. Another artist explores pure textures floating through space, utilizing paint in a novel three-dimensional manner. Yet another artist paints fantastical scenes, such as a unicorn lying at a woman's feet or a watering hole teeming with animals in the middle of a city street. Despite their diverse backgrounds and levels of artistic education, the works in this exhibition share a boldness of color, subject matter, and purpose. Each artist's perspective is unique and deeply personal.
Kerstin Lundin currently resides and works in Täby, a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden. Her work continues to captivate audiences, offering a unique blend of abstract expressionism that invites viewers to explore their interpretations and emotions.
