A Midsummer’s Dream
June 6 - June 27, 2023 | Reception: June 8, 2023, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Agora Gallery is pleased to announce A Midsummer’s Dream, a group exhibition of paintings and photographs that capture the mystical atmosphere of the summer season. The theme is explored through a series of landscapes as well as domestic interiors. Dreamy forests crossed by placid creeks evoke the majesty and enchantment of nature. An amber-like glow illuminates hazy Californian landscapes, while inordinately large flowers burst out of the canvas, demanding our undivided attention. More intimately, we spot the garden or sitting room of a Mexican house, decorated with vibrant touches of color. In the background, a tapestry of bright green foliage, blessed by the warm rays of the sun. In another series of still lifes, books, fruit, and flower vases are carefully arranged on a table, perhaps simple delights in a restful summer afternoon.
Art enthusiasts and dreamers alike are transported to a world where reality and imagination blend seamlessly in the luminous glow of the summer season. The artworks exude a sense of joy, energy, and vitality, as they capture the essence of long summer days, balmy evenings, and the interplay of light and shadows.
