Ivanrod Creates Unique Depths in Masters of the Imagination at Agora Gallery
AGORA GALLERY PRESENTS MASTERS OF THE IMAGINATION
NEW YORK, NY, August 26, 2010 /Art and Artists PR News/ -- Chelsea's Agora Gallery will feature Colombian artist, Ivanrod, in Masters of the Imagination. The exhibition is scheduled to run from September 10, 2010 through October 1, 2010 (opening reception: Thursday, September 16, 2010).
The Colombian artist Ivanrod worked as an architect for over a decade before shifting his focus and time to painting. His mostly abstract minimalist canvases feature a strong sense of structure and formal balance, testaments to his education and experience. With circular and linear motifs, and an immersive sense of space, the forms he outlines almost evoke blueprints - even though they're often rendered in bold yellows and reds. Like most architects, though, Ivanrod isn't content with two-dimensional plans, and gives his geometric schema depth and texture.
In some pieces he creates surface tensions by placing nails under the surface of the canvas and building up layers of paint, creating both gentle elevations and violent peaks. Elsewhere, different qualities of paint application and more eclectic brushstrokes create dynamic and rich textures at odds with his smooth monochrome pieces. Elsewhere, still, Ivanrod inserts miniature figurative details, suddenly turning abstract compositions into massive and ominous landscapes. Whether abstract elevations or immense structures, Ivanrod's paintings invite exploration.
Exhibition Dates: September 10, 2010 - October 1, 2010
Reception: Thursday, September 16, 2010, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Gallery Location: 530 West 25th St, New York City

One of the primary characteristics of Latin American art is an imaginative scope that comes across in the aptly named group show "Masters of the Imagination: The Latin American Fine Art Exhibition." This selection of gifted artists possess the same creative spirit that has been celebrated by artists such as Bravo, Tamayo, Rivera, Obaldia and Botero. Around each corner visitors will enjoy exploring and experiencing the intricate color, form, and textures of Latin America, not merely with the eyes, but the heart.
