NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will showcase the original works of James Chisholm in the exhibition "Enigmatic Visions." The event kicks off on July 28, 2017, and runs through August 17, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, August 3, from 6-8 pm.
James Chisholm’s artwork offers a mesmerizing exploration of nature through a blend of oils and watercolors. His pieces are characterized by intricate networks of colors, shapes, and lines that provide a fresh interpretation of the natural world. Chisholm’s watercolors, in particular, stand out for their spontaneity and freedom, transforming complex patterns of trees and water into vibrant, almost abstract compositions. His oil paintings, while more detailed and traditionally realistic, share the same dynamic energy and compositional strength.
Chisholm describes painting as a "dialogue" with the world, a concept that infuses his work with a sense of ongoing transformation. This dialogue is evident in his recent technique of leaving paintings unfinished at the edges, emphasizing the evolving relationship between artist and subject. This approach not only adds an open-ended quality to his work but also invites viewers to engage in the transformation process.
The "Enigmatic Visions" exhibition will also feature works from other notable artists, including:
"Enigmatic Visions" is a group exhibition at Agora Gallery that showcases the thoughtful work of eleven contemporary artists. The exhibition spans various mediums, including watercolor, photography, oil, ink, and acrylic.

The exhibition delves into traditional themes of domesticity, nature, and formal beauty, offering a deeper look into the details of everyday life.
James Chisholm’s work in "Enigmatic Visions" offers a captivating look at nature through a transformative lens. His unique approach to painting, combined with the diverse talents of other featured artists, makes this exhibition a must-see for art enthusiasts.
