NEW YORK, NY, October 24, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The Agora Gallery is proud to present Jacqueline van der Plaat in a Collective Exhibition: In Reverence of Reverie. Scheduled to run from October 24th through November 13th, the collection will feature a captivating selection of Jacqueline van der Plaat's powerful forms.
About Jacqueline van der Plaat:
Jacqueline van der Plaat has created a body of work that rejoices in brilliant colors and bold, powerful forms. There is a playful quality to her art in both its style and experimentation with media that add a particular immediacy to the imagery. In either mixed media collage or acrylic paints van der Plaat creates organic portrayals of sweeping landscapes, restless cities, and thoughtful figural studies. The handling of paint plays a central role in each piece, impasto brushstrokes and rhythmic patterns contrast with washes and layers of color, as drips and splatters allow each work to evolve a distinctive character. Travel has also placed its mark upon her work, while taking up yoga has given her painting a new spirituality and produced a more uninhibited and vivacious approach. Her former studies of textiles in art school can be observed in the creating of pattern and intriguing combination of bold colors and lines.
Born in Amsterdam, Jacqueline van der Plaat settled outside the city where she now works from her garden studio.
