Thomas Ab-e’s Fantasy World at Agora Gallery
Thomas Ab-e, My Future Lover, Oil on Canvas
About the Artist
Classical yet contemporary, modern Dutch master Thomas Ab-e’s art resonates with echoes of Hieronymus Bosch, Dürer, and other notable artists of the early Northern Renaissance movement. He works with oils on canvas, having found from experience that only this combination succeeds in capturing the purity of thought which forms a vital part of his expression. As both the figures and the level of realism in his paintings are playfully stretched, his subjects interact dramatically with each other and with viewers as the artist creates a scene in paint which seeks to bring the observer into his fantasy world. Joyfully illuminated in rich, glowing tones, Ab-e’s gothically inspired paintings blaze with an inner light as he brings to life visions of a wondrous reality.
Born in 1952 in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, Thomas Ab-e (also known as T.V. Abashidze) moved to Amsterdam in 1989 where he quickly gained recognition for his boldly symbolic works throughout the Netherlands.
