Alfa Art Gallery Presents Art Lines - Linear Abstractions in Graphic Design, Painting and Animation

New Brunswick, NJ, February 08, 2009 --(PR.com)-- From the curator Natalie Trainor

Their upcoming exhibition, "Art Lines: Linear Abstractions in Graphic Design, Painting & Animation," examines how artists use line as a dominant element in composing abstract imagery. On display will be the works of the following artists: Christina Entcheva, Koenraad Seghers, Jill Caporlingua and David Sananman.

Employing abstraction suggests the artists' mediated experiences of the world that exists around them. Using a system of simplification, the artists present us with works that explore ideas and stylistic techniques that expand beyond the literal visual world the human mind encounters day-to-day.

Ms. Entcheva focuses mainly on figural illustrations. Christina's style, which can be characterized as provocative, exotic and strange, affords the viewer with a glimpse into a world of otherness—an unknown reality that exists within the artist's mind.

Koenraad Seghers' paintings produce an eclectic style of bright colors and myriad forms. Mr. Seghers' art boasts a chaotic, puzzle-like quality in which his use of abstract colors, lines and curves create humorous scenes that reflect his child-like reality.

Jill Caprorlingua's works explore the subject of science and the human body by painting dots of two or more colors upon the canvas to create a solid space. The artist abstracts images of microscopic cells, diseases and DNA strands by painting in a style that spatially organizes the microscopic images in a linear arrangement; thus presenting scientific images to the viewer in a decorative composition that recalls the style of Pointillism in the discourse of art history.

David Sananman's animation presents the elements of shape, line, color, sound and time in a 3-dimensional visual format. In Mr. Sananman's animation, abstract images float through a liminal non-static arena, representing an immaterial space betwixt and between the metaphysical and the supernatural. David's style and use of line in his paintings, silk screen prints and etchings mirrors the stylistic execution in his animation.

The harmonious blend of different media within the exhibition focuses on distinct ways of employing linear execution in art. The works of these artists visually communicate with one another, using abstraction as a form of artistic exchange.
