NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Phoenix artist Olivia Kapoor in The Saturated Palette. The exhibition opens March 10, 2017 and runs through March 30, 2017 with an opening reception on Thursday, March 16 from 6-8 pm.
There is a unique way in which pioneering Visionary Artist, Olivia Kapoor, conveys her interpretation of Inter Dimensional Art. Her use of color, geometry, spatial boundaries and textures are just a few of the variables within her technique that are continuously evolving.
Although much of Olivia's present success is due to her perseverance, paired with her talent of innovating forms of expression, she recounts a period in which she failed chemistry several times before seriously considering a career in Art: "It was a strange time for me; I remember wondering if dropping Chemistry as a college major for Art as a college major, instead, would be a good decision. Since then, I have realized just how important it is to do what you love."
As Kapoor's career in painting moves forward, when asked about her latest artistic concept, scheduled to be unveiled sometime near the end of 2017, she explains with subtle enthusiasm, "it's unlike anything I've ever created because it encompasses many of the artistic elements from my years of grade school, high school and college study, in art - which I'm finally ready to let resurface after so much time has passed to give viewers a glimpse of how I came to be the artist that I have become today."

About the Exhibition
The Saturated Palette
Agora Gallery is pleased to present The Saturated Palette, a riotous new group exhibition that explores an array of intense visual expressions. All ten artists featured here employ an extreme of some sort, be it tone, shape, texture – or, more frequently, a combination of several. Color is of course the main player, and the exhibition’s large range offers examples of how it is deployed to depict people, places, and ideas. We see it in bright, playful bursts, but also in more unexpected ways. In some works, the standout color is used only sparingly in the frame; in others, it serves to highlight an element of the subject matter, or even to underline the artist’s larger idea about pattern or line. With oil, pastels, and encaustic, several artists show us how a canvas can include only subtle or darker colors that nevertheless completely infuse the image. In this exhibition, techniques are taken to their limit and the curious are rewarded.
