NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will showcase the original works of Theresia Innerhofer in the exhibition "Metamorphosis." The event kicks off on November 11, 2017, and runs until December 2, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, November 16, from 6-8 pm.
Theresia Innerhofer draws her artistic inspiration from her upbringing on a family farm. Her primary focus is on cows, capturing their unique shapes, proportions, and interactions within the herd. Innerhofer's paintings invite viewers to reconsider the cow's role in the ecosystem, economy, and food chain. Her work transforms these animals into unexpected shapes, compelling the audience to see them through a fresh lens.
Innerhofer employs a bold technique characterized by strong, chunky strokes using acrylic paint. Her compositions are crafted from intricate blocks of color, blending realism with abstraction. Some cows in her paintings feature a single stroke of magenta, while others are entirely blue. Her dynamic and confrontational angles give the impression of an action photographer capturing a moment in time.
Born in Tamsweg, Austria, Theresia Innerhofer now resides in Hollersbach. Besides painting, she is an accomplished carver and sculptor, working with both wood and stone. Her diverse skill set adds depth to her artistic expression, making her a versatile and multifaceted artist.
