Gayl Sharabi: Boundaries- Personal and Political

The Agora Gallery (530 West 25th Street, Chelsea, New York, NY, 10001) is proud to present Gayl Sharabi in Five Degrees of Abstraction. Scheduled to run from March 25th through April 15th the collection will feature a captivating selection of Gayl Sharabi’s passionate works.

Gayl Sharabi's art encompasses a variety of forms, including oil paint, acrylics, watercolors, photography, digital images, handwritten text, and sculpture. Her eclectic body of work consistently invites and challenges the viewer to come closer and contemplate deeper, as it stretches beyond the familiar and comfortable to raise political, philosophical, and artistic questions. Sharabi's beautiful, abstract oil paintings at times exude tranquility and balance through the skilled confluence of the colors of her aesthetic palette, while at other times her works reflect the dissonance she finds in the contemporary world. She has also been inspired by the beauty of organic and cellular shapes for her canvases and sculptures.

Using brushstrokes suggestive of whirlpools or flora, Sharabi embraces the shapes of the found world, while also creating her own unique perspective of her sensory experience. "Delineation of boundaries vanish," Sharabi says, "when the repetitions of infrastructures are revealed." The micro and the macro echo each other in Gayl Sharabi's wide collection of passionate, committed, and ever-evolving work.
