Lyrical Overtones in Art by Cary Griffiths at Agora Gallery
The Agora Gallery is proud to present Utah artist, Cary Griffiths in Labyrinth of Abstraction. Scheduled to run from May 7th through May 27th, the collection will feature a captivating selection of Cary Griffiths' lyrical works.
NEW YORK, NY, May 02, 2009 /Museums PR News/ -- Cary Griffiths' powerful explosions of color on canvas, will be on view at Agora Gallery, 530 West 25th Street, from May 5 through May 27. (Opening Reception Thursday May 7, from 6 to 8pm.)
About Cary Griffiths:
Cary Griffiths carries the excitement and creative invention of the early Abstract Expressionists into the contemporary world of art. Working primarily with acrylic on canvas, his fantastic works of art display a keen sense for conveying a mood or idea through verdant colors and expressive lines and shapes. Beautiful, flowing amorphous forms rise and fall on the canvas providing the viewer with a sense of boundless primordial energy. Other paintings remain highly gestural, employing unusual angles and a stylized repertoire of color and line that can gently soothe or convey fearsome overtones.
Music plays a special role in Griffiths' creative process. "When I paint I almost always feel a beat, a rhythm in what I am painting," he explains. "As I paint I feel lifted and lyrical." His work has been exhibited across the United States and abroad, in locations such as Salt Lake City, Philadelphia, London, Portugal and New York. Griffiths lives and works in Salt Lake City, Utah.
About the Exhibition:
An impressive selection of talented artists has been brought together for Labyrinth of Abstraction, a showcase of contemporary abstract painting. This internationally diverse grouping uses painterly abstractions to conceptualize the ineffable, with exploding colors, lines, and shapes celebrating life's nuances while enticing the eye. This bold language of art displays an individuality and breadth of style that speaks directly to our souls and refreshes our spirits. Out From Down Under & Beyond celebrates contemporary artists from Australia and New Zealand. Enriched with both Western and indigenous artistic traditions, some of the finest contemporary visual art, where the importance and sacredness of the land, the power of ancestral art as well as modern artistic joy and technique become a uniting theme. In this art exhibition of exception, not only art collectors but also art lovers of all sensitivities will discover a wealth of enigmatic forms and lush symbolism imbued with drama and originality. The wide variety of artistic invention which greets audiences attending Portals of Perception underscores the idea that as long as people dream and imagine art will never cease to exist, inspire, and bring about contemplation in others. These talented artists bring their thoughts and feelings to reality in a stunning variety of styles and forms that will touch audiences long after viewing the painting. The artists of Manifestation of Milieu cull resonant imagery from their travels, dreams, and life experiences that speak to us on a personal level. Ranging from fanciful to contemplative, this exceptional body of work will have audiences reveling in the sweeping landscapes, stunning portraiture, and inventive characters. This talented grouping of contemporary painters bid us pause in our hectic modern world to explore with new eyes and fresh perspectives
