Chelsea, NY, December 12, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Agora Gallery is proud to present Loretta Bagnoli in The Odyssey Within: Fine Art by Artists Living in Italy and Greece and of Italian and Greek Origin.

About Loretta Bagnoli:

Loretta Bagnoli's work as a restorer of ancient and modern paintings has influenced the style and subject matter of her paintings. She has described her work as both geometric and informal, as she works with primary geometric shapes, and uses acrylic paints on wood. She often uses gold-tinted paint, which gives her works a look of classical icons. Yet her work is highly contemporary as her brushwork is informal and expressive. There is also a surreal aspect to her works as she at times presents pictures within pictures, with her subject matter often framed by shapes suggestive of tile.

Yet there is also a personal aspect to her work, a very contemporary passion, in addition to the subtle suggestion of classical bas relief made accessible by her brushwork and composition. Loretta Bagnoli's work restoring the masterpieces of the past has been her foundation; her skilled eye and her passion for color make her an artist whose works invite investigation and exploration. Loretta Bagnoli currently lives and works in Forli, Italy.
