Chelsea, NY, December 31, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Agora Gallery is proud to present Eric Robin in our upcoming exhibition In Reverie of Form.
About Eric Robin:
Belgian artist Eric Robin, creates fantastical portraits of women that are rich with the hues and textures of life. With a Fauvist use of color Robin's paintings are psychologically compelling with concentrated, painterly backgrounds suggesting that the subject's mood has generated an aura around them. The colorful, stylized faces become masks with striking eyes that peer through you. "The expression of the eyes [is] where I believe you can read the mind of the soul inside the head," he states. The figures are presented solitary, locked in a world of unknown forces alone and without escape, the remarkable range of tones and adept handling of paint serve to infuse each work with a strong sense of drama.
Robin is a police officer in Brussels and this direct contact with people from all walks of life is a constant source of inspiration for his painting. He is co-founder of Atoutazart, a community-based collective promoting cultural events and awareness. Robin's work has been exhibited in Belgium, France and the United States.

While seeking a similar contemplation, the artists featured in The Revelry of Energy are crafting a very personal artistic language and technique. Modern in their appeal, the abstract paintings’ brilliant colors and unique styles explore the artists’ individual narratives and visionary experiences. In Reverie of Form sees artists experiment with unusual materials and styles, eerily beautiful sculptures have been paired with soulful portraiture and sprawling landscapes. This impressive selection of artists will thrill audiences looking to explore the abundant variety of the contemporary art scene.
