Summary: Regina Krugel, a Frankfurt-based artist, will showcase her original works at Chelsea's Agora Gallery in New York. The exhibition, titled "Kaleidoscope of the Mind," runs from December 29, 2016, to January 18, 2017. Krugel's art, inspired by her life experiences and travels, blends various styles and mediums, focusing on human figures and their everyday activities. The exhibition features a mix of abstract and surreal art, highlighting the innovative approaches of six contemporary artists.
Regina Krugel was born in Hennigsdorf, Germany, a small town northwest of Berlin. Initially, she pursued a career in interior architecture but soon found her true calling in the world of art and design. Her artistic journey is deeply personal and intuitive, drawing from her observations and life experiences.
Krugel's work is characterized by its versatility and depth. She primarily uses acrylics but also incorporates gouache, wax crayons, and charcoal. Her figures range from minimalist line drawings to more detailed renderings. "I prefer painting figures," Krugel explains, "mainly revolving around the everyday activities or behavior of people and their misadventures and wishes."
Krugel's art is often inspired by her travels. A recent trip to London, for instance, led to depictions of bustling rush hour crowds and serene bird's-eye views. She frequently intertwines the past, present, and future in her work, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all life events. Beyond these grand themes, Krugel finds personal fulfillment in painting. "Since my youth, I have painted with pleasure," she says. "Painting gives me strength, steadiness, and tranquility."
Regina Krugel currently resides and works in Frankfurt, Germany.

Agora Gallery kicks off the new year with "Kaleidoscope of the Mind," an exhibition that delves into the latest trends in contemporary art. The showcase features a blend of abstract and surreal imagery, with a strong focus on painting. The participating artists are known for their willingness to experiment and push boundaries.
One artist combines chaotic splashes of paint with meticulous compositional elements, creating their pieces while suspended on a catwalk. Another artist explores physical and emotional pain through slashes in the canvas. A mixed-media artist juxtaposes the orderliness of painted writing with the primal chaos of resin, resulting in works of remarkable visual depth. The exhibition also includes a purely representational artist whose vibrant oils seem to depict a reality brighter than our own.
"Kaleidoscope of the Mind" is a cohesive and candid exhibition that brings the freshest ideas to life with exceptional skill.
By exploring the works of Regina Krugel and her contemporaries, "Kaleidoscope of the Mind" offers a unique glimpse into the evolving landscape of contemporary art.
