NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will showcase the original works of Spanish artist Susana Rapallo in the exhibition "The Saturated Palette." The event kicks off on March 10, 2017, and runs until March 30, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, March 16, from 6-8 pm.
Susana Rapallo's multimedia paintings capture the complexities of the modern world. Her work reflects a rich tapestry of cultural elements, drawing from her experiences across various countries. As an expatriate in Spain, Rapallo's art features popular fashions, iconic meals, historical art references, and symbols of current events and real places. Her latest series, "Rotten Apples," explores themes of female relationships, emotional complexities, and family dynamics, while subtly nodding to everything from New York City to Cézanne.
Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Susana Rapallo now resides in Madrid, Spain, where she works for the Brazilian Embassy. Her diverse experiences living in Belgium, Uruguay, Paraguay, New York, and China have significantly influenced her artistic style. Rapallo's work oscillates between abstract and representational art, characterized by robust lines, minimal backgrounds, strong central compositions, and a vibrant, saturated palette.
Agora Gallery is thrilled to present "The Saturated Palette," a dynamic group exhibition that delves into intense visual expressions. The exhibition features ten artists who employ extremes in tone, shape, texture, and color. The diverse range of works showcases how color can be used to depict people, places, and ideas in both expected and unexpected ways. Some pieces use standout colors sparingly, while others highlight elements of the subject matter or underline the artist's broader ideas about pattern or line. Techniques such as oil, pastels, and encaustic are pushed to their limits, rewarding the curious viewer.
Susana Rapallo's work is a testament to the power of cultural diversity and artistic expression. Her ability to weave together elements from various cultures and experiences creates a rich, multifaceted body of work that resonates with viewers on multiple levels. "The Saturated Palette" exhibition at Agora Gallery offers a unique opportunity to explore these themes and witness the vibrant, dynamic world of contemporary art.
