NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery is set to showcase the original works of Perth-based artist Jac Fear in the exhibition "Landscapes of the Mind." The event will commence on December 3, 2016, and run through December 23, 2016, with an opening reception on Thursday, December 8, from 6-8 PM. Art enthusiasts who appreciate thought-provoking pieces and enjoy meeting talented artists are highly encouraged to attend.
Jac Fear's paintings are a homage to the raw and untamed beauty of the Australian landscape. His works reveal both the splendor and fragility of nature, often embedding symbols within layers of paint that connect multiple pieces, creating a narrative larger than any single canvas. Fear's unique technique involves placing his acrylic-painted canvases outdoors to bake under the intense Australian sun, causing the paint to crack and mimic the dry earth. After a week, he revisits the canvas with oil and spray paint, adding depth and dimension. Using hand-cut stencils to depict trees and bushes, Fear evokes the essence of Paleolithic cave paintings, ensuring a thematic consistency across his works.
Fear's art often references moments from his own life, which he terms "lived events." These autobiographical elements serve as an emotional blueprint, allowing viewers to connect on a deeper level. "Art is the silent music," Fear explains. "It is present, something you can't help but notice." This sense of connection is fundamental to his artistic philosophy.
The "Landscapes of the Mind" exhibition will feature works from a diverse group of artists, including:
