NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will showcase the original works of St. Augustine artist Stacie Hernandez in the exhibition "Mélange of Milieu." The event kicks off on February 14, 2017, and runs through March 7, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, February 16, from 6-8 pm.
Stacie Hernandez has experienced a dynamic career, marked by significant shifts in her artistic style, transitioning from abstract to figurative art. Her naturalistic paintings and lyrical abstractions both highlight her exceptional ability to manipulate light and dark, space and density, and color combinations. Hernandez's work is deeply personal, reflecting her emotional state and the landscape at specific moments in time. She meticulously builds each painting, focusing on expressive and elegant lines, and drawing directly onto her canvas with thin layers of paint. Through a laborious process of addition and subtraction, she works until she discovers something surprising in each piece.
Hernandez holds an MFA from Pratt Institute and currently serves as the director and artist-in-residence at Palencia Fine Arts Academy. She resides in St. Augustine, Florida, where she continues to create and inspire.
This February, Agora Gallery presents "Mélange of Milieu," a group exhibition that showcases innovative genre-bending practices by contemporary artists. The eight featured artists come from diverse backgrounds, including Ukraine, Switzerland, Austria, Japan, and the United States. The exhibition uniquely blends different art forms, featuring both painting and sculpture prominently.
Stacie Hernandez's work in "Mélange of Milieu" is a testament to her evolving artistic journey and her ability to blend lyrical abstraction with narrative figuration. The exhibition at Agora Gallery offers a unique opportunity to experience her deeply personal and meticulously crafted pieces, alongside the innovative works of other contemporary artists.
