NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Bruay la Buissiere artist Ouni Mam in Contemporary Perspectives. The exhibition begins on May 16, 2014 and runs until June 5, 2014, with an opening reception on the evening of Thursday May 22, at 6-8pm.
About the Artist
Ouni Mam paints in a wide variety of styles, from figurative to abstract and symbolic pieces. Yet despite the diversity of subjects in her work, every piece by this artist is recognizably hers. This is thanks to her personal signature of bright, saturated colors, impasto brushstrokes, and an emphasis on light and movement. Preferring to work in oils, Ouni Mam’s powerful pieces are creations of the moment, a reflection of the artist’s instincts and emotions as she stands in front of the canvas. As the artist herself explains, she paints “the incorporeal, the conceptual and intangible.” Whatever artistic style she employs, her paintings give the impression of being transparent veils that reveal different but parallel worlds.
Born in France, Ouni Mam now lives on Reunion Island, east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. Her paintings demonstrate a blend of classical art, European modernism, and the unique flavor of the places she’s lived such as Mauritania, Senegal and the influence of the artistic community on Reunion Island. She hopes that her work can give her audience energy, inspire them to dream and provoke contemplation.
