NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Marina Sutter in the exhibition "Persistence of Form." The exhibition opens on April 25, 2017, and runs through May 16, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, April 27, from 6-8 pm.
Marina Sutter's portraits are a study in evasion and intrigue. Her subjects, often depicted with their backs turned or faces obscured by hair or clothing, create a compelling sense of mystery. This deliberate concealment invites viewers to focus on the subtleties of human interaction rather than the mere representation of a person. Sutter's technique, using acrylic and oil on canvas, emphasizes the nuances of "the details in the human dialogue."
Sutter's success lies in her meticulous attention to detail. Her ability to capture the textures of hair, skin, and clothing with near-photographic precision lends her subjects a powerful physical presence. This realism is further enhanced by her adept use of light and shadow, which adds depth and movement to her work. Sutter's portraits are not just images; they are lifelike representations that provoke thought and curiosity.
The "Persistence of Form" exhibition at Agora Gallery brings together a diverse group of representational artists. This specialized exhibition showcases works in various mediums, including oil, pastel, spray paint, watercolor, and acrylic. Each artist in the exhibition is dedicated to rendering form with precision and thoughtfulness, yet their works are spirited, unexpected, and thoroughly modern.
"Persistence of Form" offers new perspectives on realism, highlighting an often-overlooked area of the contemporary art scene. The exhibition features a landscape artist who creates fantastical visions of paradise, two portraitists with distinct approaches, an artist who interrogates famous figures, and another who captures everyday moments in vibrant colors.
Marina Sutter's work in "Persistence of Form" is a testament to the power of detail and realism in contemporary art. Her portraits, with their enigmatic subjects, invite viewers to look beyond the surface and engage with the deeper aspects of human interaction. The exhibition at Agora Gallery is a must-see for anyone interested in the evolving landscape of modern realism.
