Nicholas Vitale: Nature Itself at Agora Gallery
Nicholas Vitale charts new ground where the like-minded Fauvists and psychedelic artists of the 1960s left off. Using gouache or oil paint, he paints still lifes and landscapes of the rugged natural regions of the western United States. The surface of each canvas is active with texture, while the images themselves exude energy through the artist's intense use of unadulterated complementary colors. If a faraway mountain range seems to have a bluish hue, Vitale models a vibrant ultramarine range. If a plant seems healthy and lush, he covers the surface with a layer of vivid day-glow green. With this technique, Vitale seeks to capture the power and essence of a particular place rather than a realistic representation. He acts as a conscious medium between nature and art while his interest remains the process of creation. “My passion has always been the paint itself,” he explains, “its pigment, texture and application to the mundane surfaces of paper, linen or canvas.”Nicholas Vitale splits his time between Scottsdale, Arizona and San Francisco.

About the Exhibition:
The days may still seem short, but the artwork displayed at Agora Gallery this March will bring light, warmth and a sense of freshness to your day. Let yourself experience a new way of viewing the world through the work displayed in East Meets West: an Exhibition of Fine Art from Asia, in which talented Asian artists unite their personal abilities with their sensitivity to universal affairs, to create art which is often informed by their cultural heritage. Unbound Perspectives provides new insight into the world we live in, as the artists tread the delicate line between realism and optimism to show us both what is and what could be. In Reverie of Form takes us on a journey of discovery and delight that nonetheless relates to aspects of shared human experience, hinting gently at the wonder that we often ignore.
