NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery is set to showcase the original works of Heesu Choi in the "Breaking with Realism" exhibition. This event will run from September 2 to September 22, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, September 7, from 6-8 pm.
Korean artist Heesu Choi brings a revitalized perspective to classic primitivism, infusing it with a unique blend of vitality, passion, and intensity. Choi's style, known as neoprimitivism, delves into the pure, innermost realms of the human soul. His works are characterized by abstract forms, intense colors, and intricately woven lines and geometric shapes, resulting in compositions that are both visually stunning and deeply evocative.
Neoprimitivism, as an art movement, seeks to transcend realistic depictions, focusing instead on the raw and primal aspects of human existence. Choi's work exemplifies this approach, aiming to evoke messages of the soul through abstract forms. As Choi himself explains, “It is not a visual representation of a thing or realistic expression but a private expression that aims to find a message of God…and to return to the source of life through the center of human history [via] a primitive image.”
The "Breaking with Realism" exhibition will feature a diverse group of artists, each offering their unique insights on themes of spirituality, humanity, and the natural world. The featured artists include:
"Breaking with Realism" is a group exhibition that explores the diverse perspectives of 18 artists on themes such as spirituality, humanity, and the natural world. Through a variety of mediums, the exhibition examines how dynamic arrangements of color, texture, line, and composition can profoundly impact the human experience.
Heesu Choi's neoprimitivist works offer a compelling exploration of the human soul through abstract forms and vibrant colors. The "Breaking with Realism" exhibition at Agora Gallery provides a unique opportunity to experience these profound and evocative pieces firsthand. Don't miss the chance to witness this extraordinary collection from September 2 to September 22, 2017.
