Patricia Brintle's New York City Painting at Agora Gallery

The Agora Gallery is proud to present Patricia Brintle in Manifestations of Mileu. Scheduled to run from May 7th through May 27th, the collection will feature Patricia Brintle's view of New York.

New York, NY, May 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Patricia Brintle's "New York" will be on view at Agora Gallery, 530 West 25th Street, from May 7 through May 27. (Opening Reception Thursday May 7, from 6 to 8pm.)

About the Artist:
Patricia Brintle’s acrylic paintings are completely at ease with themselves. Her careful application of color is intentioned but uninhibited, resulting in free, inviting images that recall tranquil summer afternoons or soft evening breezes. Brintle includes just enough detail in her work to give viewers a sense of place and mood, but her main focuses are vibrant colors and expanses of luminously open-ended paint. Whether painting portraits, landscapes, or a marriage of the two, Brintle presents sublime moments that seem to emerge out of relaxed narratives. Her work emphasizes the importance of the present; the gravity of the moment transcends any past or future.

Originally from Haiti, Brintle merges both her Haitian heritage and her experiences with the United States landscape in her paintings. She intimately understands the joys and hopes that occupy each moment and the unimpeded, poetic mood of her paintings grows out of this understanding. Patricia Brintle currently lives and works in New York. Her award-winning paintings have been exhibited both privately and publicly in New York and Florida.

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.
