Chelsea’s Agora Gallery announced they will launch an art exhibition consisting of four parts that is scheduled to run from July 21, 2009 through August 11, 2009.
An accomplished and sophisticated artist, Daniel Guillen works in an abstract expressionist manner, through which his emotive experiences are expressed. He chooses to work mainly in oil pastel on paper as this media gives him great versatility. Guillen uses a controlled pallet of colors which are blended directly on the paper with rags, turpentine, wood, even razor blades–which has given his work a raw, powerful look–and so the roughened edges of abstract shapes run up against shimmering fields of color that undulate through his work. Guillen is able to encapsulate an aspect of his psyche through his art which remains subdued in his outwardly reserved persona. His works aim to transcend–their essence is infinite, even while the body in its organic state remains painfully finite. Guillen’s art is a direct expression of his personal life experiences, his titles often illuminating the meaning that lies beneath the surface of his work. Daniel Guillen was born in Tijuana, Mexico, and currently resides in Granada Hills, California.

Radiant colors shine forth, as each artist travels into the unknown, bringing back surreal visions of our universe to share with audiences. Visitors will enjoy exploring and interpreting the messages so brilliantly expressed through the power of color. The Portal to Enigma collects three contemporary artists whose visionary works defy easy definition as they craft personal revelations with a powerful, expressive force. This phenomenal selection of paintings confronts the viewer with poetic visual puzzles and graceful statements about the human subconscious. The versatility displayed in the works of The Persistence of Form underscores the idea that as long as people dream and imagine art will never cease to exist, inspire, and bring about contemplation in others.
