NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of D. L. Brabander  in Enigmatic Visions. The exhibition opens July 28, 2017 and runs through August 17,  2017 with an opening reception on Thursday, August 3 from 6-8 pm.  The evocative landscape paintings of D. L. Brabander reflect the creativity and passion of a modern romantic painter. Brabander was born in Ontario, Canada, and currently lives in Montreal. Her work is inspired by and comments on the natural beauty of Canada. By taking a traditional subject like landscape and blending representational and abstract styles together, Brabander seeks to capture not only the appearance of a place, but its atmosphere. Her paintings invoke elements and suggest emotion while leaving room for individual interpretation. Applying vivid color with fluid, intuitive brushstrokes, Brabander creates pieces awash in layer and texture. She typically works with either acrylic or watercolor pigments, balancing the vibrancy of watercolor and the medium's ability to magically layer and blend, with the texture and freedom of expression allowed by acrylics. The artist continuously plays one medium against the other, pushing the boundaries of what both can achieve.   Exhibition Dates: July 28  – August 17, 2017 Reception: Thursday, August 3, 2017, 6:00pm - 8:00pm Gallery Hours: Tues-Sat 11:00am – 6:00pm Gallery Location: 530 West 25th St, Chelsea, New York Event URL:  http://www.agora-gallery.com/artistpage/D._L._Brabander.aspx   Featured Artists: Annette Balsgaard  |  Antonio Biagiotti  |  Olena Bogatska  |  D.

Malone   About the Exhibition Enigmatic Visions Enigmatic Visions is a new group exhibition from Agora Gallery highlighting a range of exceptionally thoughtful work from eleven contemporary artists. In watercolor, photography, oil, ink, and acrylic, the participants find exciting new ways to create focus. One painter reduces the seascape to a single color, using a palette that is at once strict and infinitely flexible in its endless shades of blue. Another draws all the textural possibilities out of just one kind of brushstroke. A third uses abstraction to surround and isolate his subjects. Enigmatic Visions uses the traditional themes of domesticity, nature, and formal beauty to dive deeper into the details of everyday life.
