NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery is set to showcase the original works of Rina Lazar in the exhibition "Breaking with Realism." The event kicks off on September 2, 2017, and runs until September 22, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, September 7, from 6-8 pm.
Russian-French artist Rina Lazar merges digital technology with vibrant colors and expansive shapes to create a unique form of abstract expressionism, which she dubs "expressionism of the 21st century." Lazar believes that visual art, much like music, has a profound impact on shaping human consciousness and thought. Her art aims to be both sweeping in scope and deep in meaning, achieved through a masterful sense of composition and color palette.
Drawing inspiration from American artist Georgia O’Keefe, Lazar infuses her work with a special feminine mystique and subconscious eroticism. Her art speaks to the underlying realms that every human inhabits. Lazar also strives to bridge cultural gaps in our modern times, encouraging viewers to transcend the trappings of technology and modernity. As she explains, "I aim to convey the unity of diversity in God's creation and to influence people's minds, awakening in them a sense of beauty, joy, and harmony."
The exhibition will also feature works from other notable artists, including:
"Breaking with Realism" is a group exhibition that delves into the insights of 18 artists on themes of spirituality, humanity, and the natural world. Through various mediums, the exhibition explores how dynamic arrangements of color, texture, line, and composition can impact the visceral nature of the human experience.
Digital art is rapidly gaining recognition in the art world. According to a report by Statista, the global digital art market was valued at approximately $2.92 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. This growth is driven by the increasing acceptance of digital mediums and the rise of online art platforms.
Rina Lazar's work is a testament to the evolving landscape of art, where digital technology and traditional expressionism converge to create something truly unique and impactful. Her upcoming exhibition at Agora Gallery is not just an event but a celebration of this transformative era in art.
