NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Paula Sayago Lundin in Mystery as Muse. The exhibition opens October 13 and runs through November 2, 2018 with an opening reception on Thursday, October 18 from 6-8 pm. Any art lover who enjoys thought-provoking artworks and meeting talented and interesting artists is encouraged to attend.

About the Artist

Driven by narrative, Paula Sayago Lundin builds intricate scenes with animal-like figures bubbling with passion and intrigue. The artist uses color like a veil, blinding us to some of her characters’ worst intentions. In Society Dust, a female armadillo cries for help on the floor as a unicycle-riding alligator hovers over her with a long tray of red balls. A delicate scene seconds away from dissolving into chaos. In Anniversary Dust, a group of animals sits around the table with a celebratory cake in the center, each one wrapped up in a maze of emotion and desire. These intense emotional outbursts become fuel for the artist as she transitions from one scene to the next, creating a universe of interconnected worlds.

Trained at the Universidad Mayor in Santiago, Chile, Lundin paints a rich tapestry of life filled with uncertainty and unease. As a trained writer, dancer and illustrator, Lundin sets the mise-en-scène as if the canvas were a window into a play or film, giving her the tools to explore complex relationships that mirror our own.
