February at Agora Gallery

In New York, the crisp air reminds you that spring is around the corner and the serenity of winter will soon be exchanged for the vibrancy of new life. The hope of a refreshing change of seasons was very apparent at Agora Gallery, as the light-hearted mood continued into the February 10th reception. Breathing lively energy into the New York art market, artists from around the world celebrated their participation in the current collective exhibition.

Joining us for her second exhibition at Agora Gallery, Brazilian artist Jane Sandes grabbed the attention of onlookers with her innovative abstract sculptures. The multi-dimensional pieces are a marriage of geometry and volume, creating a dynamic visual relationship between lines and space.

Showcasing his dance-inspired figurative paintings, artist Peter Sherman connected the viewers with the harmonious beauty that is the human form in motion. The fluidity of movement in dancing has long inspired Peter's own expression on canvas. "Contemporary dance has given us a whole new vocabulary of movements that express human emotions. For me, being able to see the richness of expression in everyday feelings, conveyed by �frame by frame� body movements where limbs, muscles, shadow and light represent a balanced whole, is key to my work." - Peter Sherman.

Walking from my desk�to Angela's desk�and back again.

Nellie Scott/Exhibition Coordinator:
Running for my train, long walks on the beach, skiing and hot yoga.
