Carmen Sotuela Captures Reality in a Maze of Milieu at Agora Gallery
Agora Gallery Presents a Maze of Milieu
NEW YORK, NY, July 23, 2010 /Art and Artists PR News/ -- Chelsea's Agora Gallery will feature landscape artist, Carmen Sotuela, in A Maze of Milieu. The exhibition is scheduled to run from July 23, 2010 through August 13, 2010 (opening reception: Thursday, August 05, 2010).
Spanish born artist Carmen Sotuela transforms canvas into paintings that reflect and capture themes of human suffering, hope, discovery, and our connections to nature. Sotuela's oil paintings exhibit both imaginary landscapes and lively realistic landscapes that reflect her love for the chromatic richness in her hometown of Galicia and El Bierzo, Spain. Sotuela's soft, firm brushwork has an impressionistic quality that creates strong directional movement within each painting. Sotuela describes her work as producing symbols within each painting that reflect themes of social injustice, the quest for peace, love, and the discovery and curiosity that nature brings. Sotuela's work leads the viewer from an imaginary dreamscape to the impressionistic landscapes of her hometown.
Alternating between the imaginary and reality, Sotuela's paintings manifest a sincere commitment to and concern for all life. Within each landscape, whether it is reality or altered reality, Sotuela uses consciously formed symbols that reflect her ideas of transforming suffering into hope and overcoming adversity.
Exhibition Dates: July 23, 2010 - August 13, 2010
Reception: Thursday, August 05, 2010, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
