Ancient Iconography by Allan Wash
Allan Wash's Exhibition to be Held at Agora Gallery with the Opening of Figuratively Speaking
New York, NY, October 18, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Figuratively Speaking
Agora Gallery
Scheduled to run from October 26 through November 15, 2007
Opening Reception: Thursday, November 1, 2007, 6-8 pm
Gallery Location: 530 West 25th Street, Chelsea, New York 10001
The public is invited to participate in the event
The raw visual work of painter Allan Wash offers an escape from a world of media overload, technology and consumerism. Wash's paintings reveal an evocative milieu where figurative imagery interplays with organic abstractions that ultimately flow together in flattened space. "Early in my career I was doing photography and discovered the power of primitive cultures, ancient iconography and their visual cues. From that point, I felt my art should reawaken the primal foundational origins all art springs from." Today, Wash creates his canvases amidst a jungle of palm and bougainvillea high above San Diego bay.
His "exotic" vision will be on exhibit this fall, at Agora Gallery in Chelsea. Wash studied painting at the Minneapolis School of Art, prior to working as a leading photographer, graphic designer and art director. He is the recipient of over 160 major creative awards.
