PRESS RELEASE AGORA GALLERY NEW YORK CITY
Beautiful, stark, portraits of majestic, regal animals in the wild characterize Geraldine Simmon’s powerful works. Her deft hand imbues a dignity and humanity that is touching and yet unsettling—these animals appear to possess emotion. Caught in their natural habitat of glorious splendor, the animals in these colored pencil works, detailed with gouache, watercolor and oil pastels, are lush and powerful, of vibrant color. An Australian artist living and working on Sydney’s northern beaches, Geraldine’s majestic surroundings with abundant wildlife resonate a deep respect and passion for the natural world, providing inspiration for her work. “When I use colored pencils to draw a pair of 400-pound lions snoozing in the late afternoon sun, I can almost hear the gentle breeze rustling the grass. Their beauty, innocence and power inspire me to draw. I am drawn to an animal’s instinctive knowing and inherent trust that assists me on an unfolding path of self-discovery.” Geraldine’s drawings are an attempt to become a portal for respect and honor for these animals, a call to preserve the delicate balance between human, animal and habitat.
