Agora Gallery Showcases Volcanoes by Maggie C.
New York, NY, May 20, 2007 --(
PR.com)-- The mysterious and violent workings of subterranean volcanoes hold an intense fascination for British artist, Maggie C. “Through my paintings,” she states, “I’m trying to connect with nature and capture the energy that exists beneath our feet.” Her paintings are brilliantly colored schematics that explode and fracture from a central point on the canvas evoking the rifts between tectonic plates where extreme temperatures exude from the earth’s core. Her line-work and riveting color schemes aptly serve to capture this hidden power beneath the surface of the earth’s crust. The paintings are primordial in appearance, neither topical nor a depiction of actual forms, yet they readily suggest these natural, enigmatic forces. She paints with acrylic and mixed media, building up a rich three-dimensional surface that furthers associates her work with the rugged contours of rock. Maggie Cs’ work has been exhibited in the England and New York in addition to private collections in Europe, Australia and the United States. Maggie C lives and works in England.
