Three exemplary exhibitions make their way to Agora Gallery this late summer to move any art lover. Twenty-eight artists from eighteen countries bring their award-winning art to NYC to participate in the Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition. These artists were all selected by a jury of curators, professors, appraisers, gallerists, and one museum president for their unprecedented quality and mastery. Fragmented Reality, with explosions of color and psychoactive patterns, sharp lines, and beautifully sensational shapes, presents a vibrantly animated world. Emerging Transformation creates an almost uncanny atmosphere with empty landscapes, emotional portraits, static still lifes, and nonrepresentational abstracts that forcefully pause time in poignant moments, causing the viewer to stop along with the action and take life slowly, reverently, and deliberately.

All three exhibitions will open on August 25th, 2015. Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition will run until September 8th, 2015, Fragmented Reality and Emerging Transformation exhibitions until September 12th, 2015. The opening reception will take place Thursday, August 27th, from 6-8 PM. The exhibition and opening reception are open to the public.
