NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery is set to showcase the original works of Condesa, Gouvieux artist Robert Thiebaud in the exhibition "Plurality of Expression." The event will commence on January 21, 2017, and run through February 10, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, January 26, from 6-8 PM.
Robert Thiebaud's paintings are a testament to his keen eye for line, color, and proportion, which he uses to create what he describes as "dreamlike poetry." Utilizing oils on wood and canvas, Thiebaud masterfully balances tones and textures to infuse each image with a clarity and physical presence that makes their enigmatic settings both powerful and compelling. His background in architecture is evident in his work, as he incorporates a strong sense of structure and form.
Thiebaud's palette is a blend of cool, dark shades interspersed with glimmering hints of warm colors. This combination emphasizes the purity and elegance of the lines in his paintings, bringing balance and harmony to even the most surreal environments. His ability to capture the human form in vivid, realistic detail, while also giving seemingly monochromatic backgrounds depth and dimension, allows him to create paintings that make his distinctive world feel entirely real to the viewer. Thiebaud's work suggests the mysteries that lie beneath the surface, as he aims to go beyond mere appearance, stating, "I am interested in going beyond appearance, to have my characters lost in infinity."
The "Plurality of Expression" exhibition will feature a diverse group of artists, including:
Agora Gallery is excited to present "Plurality of Expression," a group exhibition that highlights the incredible diversity of visual language that the human mind can create. The exhibition features seven artists, including painters, sculptors, photographers, and interdisciplinary artists. These artists hail from various parts of the world, including Peru, Romania, and Canada, and their diverse origins influence their work in unexpected ways.
Rather than adhering to traditional or characteristic styles of their home countries, this group represents the increasing globalization of the art world. Each artist demonstrates knowledge of both old and new techniques, as well as local and foreign aesthetics. Influences are cherished, but they are also interrogated and pushed further. Information travels quickly in the art world, and this exhibition is a testament to that.
The strength of "Plurality of Expression" lies in the diversity of its featured artists. One painter creates meticulously realistic tableaux of fantastical landscapes, such as a road floating over an endless sky or an egg that has sprouted its own feather. Another artist explores the nature of femininity through digital photographs featuring tactile liquids and fabrics. Yet another artist creates jewel-toned paintings of flat, serpentine figures, while another offers infinitely layered visions of the cosmos.
Robert Thiebaud's participation in the "Plurality of Expression" exhibition at Agora Gallery is a celebration of his unique ability to blend architectural precision with dreamlike artistry. His work, along with that of the other featured artists, showcases the rich diversity and globalization of contemporary art. This exhibition is a must-see for anyone interested in the evolving landscape of visual expression.
