Mixed Media Storytelling in Liesel Beukes's Artwork at Agora Gallery
Liesel Beukes. Taking Flight
Beukes is careful never to make the stories that inspired her pieces too overt, often deploying collaged and painted images in enigmatic and incongruous ways to emphasize their complexity. The resulting works can be read in any number of ways, none of which seems to dominate any one canvas. Rather, much like the colors in her palette, the narrative fragments in Beukes’ paintings maintain a beguiling and seductive harmony.
Exhibition Dates: July 7, 2012 – July 27, 2012
Reception: Thursday, July 12, 2012, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Gallery Location: 530 West 25th St, New York City
Gallery Hours: Tues – Sat, 11a.m. - 6 p.m.
