NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Mague Brewer in Portal to Enigma. The exhibition opens April 25, 2017 and runs through May 16, 2017 with an opening reception on Thursday, April 27 from 6-8 pm.
Mague Brewer is a painter who draws deeply on her Mexican roots to create vivid, colorful abstract impressionist paintings that are as playful as they are compelling. Working in a variety of materials, including oils, acrylic, gouache mixed media and art objects, Mague brings to life dynamic compositions that seem to move in a dance of visual enchantment, all the while whispering of deeper meanings just below the surface. Her strong use of line and figurative elements serve to strengthen the symbolism and invite the viewer to consider the deeper truths that underlie our very human consciousness.
In the end, Mague’s paintings are highly intuitive, evolving from the subconscious plane. As she explains, “The messages in my paintings are collected by my subconscious or spiritual self, inviting me to find out about possibilities that can become choices in my life in a non-imposing way. Each one of my works comes through me and has a story or title to it which is a result of my intuition. If I may I would like to share these with you.

About the Exhibition
Portal to Enigma
Agora Gallery is pleased to present Portal to Enigma, a new group exhibition exploring the possibilities of extreme abstraction and non-representational art. As its title suggests, this show is about finding meaning within compositions that can be obscure or even withholding. The work on display throws the spotlight on the non-literal components of visual depiction: texture, color, form, and arrangement in space. Portal to Enigma is a unique survey of the latest in abstraction.
Among the eight featured artists are some who play with landscape, some who play with figural studies, and some who work purely outside of representational boundaries. One artist fractures the human body into slices almost as if to show the movement of time across the canvas. Another depicts nature as a romantic, mysterious collection of impossibly rich colors. The exhibition includes experiments in pattern, texture, and highly intricate mark-making. These are some of the most energized, relentlessly curious abstract artists working in the field today.
