Agora Gallery To Host New Eleni Tsotsorou Exhibition in February

Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the captivating work of Greek artist Eleni Tsotsorou in Elemental Realms. The exhibition is scheduled to run from February 10, 2012 through March 1, 2012 (opening reception: Thursday, February 16, 2012).

Eleni Tsotsorou’s artwork has developed in a non-linear manner over time, reflecting the artist’s psychology at the moment of conception.

Working in a variety of mediums including oils, acrylics, charcoal and collage, the artist employs technique and material to convey a subtle turbulence. Beneath the calm surface of, for example, a bouquet of lilies, lies a feeling of tension, creating an image that provokes feelings of introspection in viewers. Regardless of her choice of content, Tsotsorou creates drama with her use of starkly contrasting colors and expressive lines. Her work is ultimately elegant and serene, provocative and striking.

Born in Greece, Tsotsorou is inspired by the natural landscapes of her native country. Her work demonstrates a dedication to rendering organic subjects. As she says, “Our pine and olive trees, with their twisted trunks and rough bark, are imprinted on my brain. They are delicate and strong, tortured and enduring. Their foliage is full of rhythms and structure, like lace, created of the chaotic repetition of small elements.”
