The Agora Gallery in New York presents "Contemporary Perspectives: A Collective Exhibition" from January 30 through February 19, 2009.
Exciting works of sculpture, painting, digital art, and drawing are brought together to survey the state of contemporary art. The artists included in Contemporary Perspectives have traversed very distinctive avenues of creativity. Yet this group remains unified in a common spirit of optimism and a determined belief in the power of art. The works explore both our modern civilization and its pastoral roots through slick abstractions and stunning photorealism. Featured in the exhibition is D. Loren Champlin who has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2007.
"Torrent of the Sea" and "the Music of New Orleans" by the Maine artist D. Loren Champlin will be shown in this collective exhibit in Chelsea.
"D. Loren Champlin's works explore the textures of the human body in forms that move beyond naturalism to expressionist virtuosity. Through brushwork that is bold as well as detailed, Loren's portraits, landscapes and abstracts express a powerful and sensitive empathy for the human condition and our place in the universe. Like fellow Norwegian Edvard Munch, Loren's subjects are often surrounded by emotionally resonant eddies of color, light and shadow which inject his vivid paintings with personal whirlpools and emotional imprints; these swirls and eddies bespeak a whole world of emotions and metaphysical views that are visually arresting as well as psychologically insightful.
"Loren's skilled and sensitive work in portraiture binds his subjects with the canvas and forms the holistic nature of his work. His subjects are indeed wrapped in their passions, yet they do not lose their humanity--they do, in fact, gain a universal appeal due to the delicate brushwork that is the base of their portraits." -- Agora Gallery
