Eesti Kunstiakadeemial on hea meel teatada, et meie vastne vilistlane (2013. aasta Vabade kunstide teaduskonna graafika õppetooli magister) Gudrun Heamägi avab lähiajal New Yorgi Agora Gallerys isikunäituse. NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Tallinn artist Gudrun Heamägi in The Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition. 15% of Agora Gallery’s proceeds from the sale of artwork from the art competition exhibition will be donated to the Children’s Heart Foundation, an organization which supports children who have been diagnosed with congenital heart defects, as well as their families, and promotes awareness and research into this troubling disease. The exhibition is scheduled to run from August 16, 2013 through September 5, 2013. The opening reception will be held on Thursday night, August 22, 2013 from 6-8 pm. About the Artist Artist Gudrun Heamägi’s latest series “Hocus-Focus” loosely equates the artist to a type of magician, hocus-pocus referring to the work both do to induce an uncanny and magnificent change. Interested in stream of consciousness creation via the interconnecting of mediums such as printmaking, drawing and photography, Heamägi’s works allude to dream states and remembrances of times past. Gudrun Heamägi was born in Estonia, where she still currently lives and works in the city of Tallinn. She obtained a MA (2013) and BA (2011) in Graphic Art from Estonian Academy of Arts. Exhibition Dates: August 16, 2013 – September 5, 2013 Reception: Thursday, August 22, 2013, 6-8 pm Gallery Location: 530 West 25th St, New York City Gallery Hours: Tues – Sat, 11a.m. – 6 p.m. Event URL: agora-gallery/Invite/Gudrun_Heam%C3%A4gi.aspx About the Exhibition If you’re looking for a breath of fresh air this summer, come to Agora Gallery to enjoy the refreshing and invigorating art on display in these two memorable exhibitions. The Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition presents artwork that was juror-selected for the show, and the results display the breadth of technique, the range of emotion and the diversity of approach that makes contemporary art so exciting. Thought-provoking and visually appealing, these works work on a number of levels to find the point of greatest impact for each viewer. Portals of Perception focuses on artwork that represents a new perspective, one that the artists seek to share with their audience. Stimulating yet serene, the works encourage us to find our own version of the balance the works seem to achieve so effortlessly between the extremes of the aesthetic, emotional and practical possibilities that abound in our lives. The exhibitions open on August 16, 2013 and continue until September 5, 2013. The opening reception takes place on the evening of Thursday, August 22, 2013, and entrance is free. So if you’re looking for art to revive you during the warm weather, seeking out the best of contemporary fine art, or looking to explore what Chelsea has to offer, come to Agora Gallery and enjoy!
