Jenifer Carey Creates a Sense of Spontaneity in A Maze of Milieu at Agora Gallery

Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature Expressionist artist, Jenifer Carey, in A Maze of Milieu. The exhibition is scheduled to run from July 23, 2010 through August 13, 2010 (opening reception: Thursday, August 05, 2010).
Sunlight floods Jenifer Carey’s compositions, her lively use of color bringing the scenes to life. One can almost hear the instruments, distant shorebirds, and the clinking of spoons against saucers. Even her bronze sculptures seem frozen in time, as though ready to begin performing at any moment. Throughout Carey’s works runs an intuitive appreciation for the interactions and motion of gatherings. There is an easy freedom to her figurative studies on jazz musicians, people relaxing in cafes and along the shore, and the rhythmic harmony of fishermen working to haul in their day’s catch. The influence of Matisse in Carey’s prints and oil paintings is clear, her use of flattened space and unmuted hues creating an expressive sense of spontaneity. Carey employs a variety of mediums in her work, moving fluidly between painting, printing, and sculpture.
Born in England, Carey now lives in Madrid where she practices as a full-time physiotherapist. Her works have received widespread acclaim in both Spain and Belgium.

The artists in A Maze of Milieu cull resonant imagery from their travels, dreams, and life experiences that speak to us on a personal level. Ranging from fanciful to contemplative, this exceptional body of work is an enchanted voyage through eddying colors, majestic landscapes and smooth panoramas that dare viewers to be swept away by the brilliance of the world around us. This talented grouping of contemporary painters bid us pause in our hectic modern world to explore with new eyes and fresh perspectives.
