Chelsea's Agora Gallery will feature a German artist, Iva Milanova, in Contemporary German Art: The New York Experience. The exhibition is scheduled to run from March 25, 2011 through April 15, 2011 (opening reception: Thursday, March 31, 2011).
About the Artist
Iva Milanova is an artist of contradictions: she has studied the arts but remains fiercely individualistic and she explores spiritual matters through the objective means of art. Milanova's paintings likewise capture the many faces of her personality. Her subject matter ranges from rowdy geometric configurations to figural works featuring pensive people in dynamic poses. Her later paintings convey an interest in religious iconography, a subject that she takes on with her characteristic gusto. Throughout her oeuvre this artist expresses an interest in the textural quality of paint, particularly observed as light falls upon the canvas, splintering into shards over the impasto surface that is punctuated by peaks and valleys. She also displays an intuitive feel for dynamic spatial geometry. These focal points provide the artist with a strong creative resilience. She describes her art as "a haven for people [where] they feel harmony and enjoyment."
Iva Milanova is a member of renowned artist organizations and has exhibited her work internationally in major cultural hubs like Paris, Rome, Berlin, and New York.
Exhibition Dates: March 25, 2011 April 15, 2011
