NAT: A Reverie of Form

A Collective Exhibition

The Agora Gallery (530 West 25th Street, Chelsea, New York, NY, 10001) is proud to present French artists Jee and NAT in our upcoming exhibition In Reverie of Form. Scheduled to run from January 6 through January 27, the collections will feature a captivating selection of new works by an innovative and talented artist from France.

A feeling of tranquility comes over the viewer of NAT’s understated yet powerful paintings. She often presents natural objects, such as shells, beans, pebbles, and flowers against abstract backgrounds as she explores color and composition. Other works appear as if they were framed by a second canvas slightly turned away. The common element is that NAT does not force an interpretation on her works, but allows her objects as they present themselves in her created space to speak for themselves. There is also a palpable complexity to the shading, tones and compositional choices, and the experiments with the canvas and its dimensions.

Although she does much of her work with abstract backgrounds, there is also a strong personal aspect to these works, which are explorations in both color and emotional affect. NAT has stated that she hopes to invoke simple responses to her art; to achieve this, she has done the artist’s necessary work and created powerful, silent portraits of emotional states.

About In Reverie of Form- Eerily beautiful sculptures have been paired with soulful portraiture and sprawling landscapes to explore a wide breadth of contemporary art from around the globe. This grouping of artists yearn for the simple pleasures that seem to bind us all together, holding this ideal up to remind us that just beyond our work a day lives, lies a enduring moment of inspiration and wonder.
