NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Nora Pineda in Sensorial Realities. The exhibition opens July 5, 2017, and runs through July 25, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, July 6, from 6-8 pm.
Nora Pineda, a sculptor hailing from Bakersfield, California, is set to showcase her extraordinary stoneware creations at Chelsea’s Agora Gallery in New York. The exhibition, titled "Sensorial Realities," will be open from July 5 to July 25, 2017, with a special reception on July 6 from 6-8 pm.
Pineda's stoneware pieces are a testament to her unique artistic vision. Her sculptures, which often depict animals and human forms, are characterized by their undulating shapes and flowing curves. These forms evoke the natural beauty of her native California, reminiscent of Art Nouveau and Surrealist styles. Her work is a celebration of roundness, with every surface curving away from the viewer, creating a sense of infinite extension.
While Pineda frequently employs fiery oranges and warm browns, her color palette is far from limited. She expands the definition of "earth tones" to include deep purples, vibrant blues, and even hints of iridescence. This diverse color range adds a rich character to her pieces, making them stand out in the world of stoneware art.
Born in Bakersfield, California, Pineda draws inspiration from Southwestern art and her Mexican heritage. Her multifaceted career also includes roles as a massage therapist, spiritual counselor, and healing energy worker, all of which influence her artistic practice.
