Danish artist featured at Agora Gallery in New York in March

Danish artist Anni Koch-Knudsen’s Transformative Paintings of Fluid Environments will be on exhibit at Agora Gallery NYC from March 6 – March 26, 2015 –  

Chelsea’s Agora Gallery in New York will feature the original work of Danish artist Anni Koch-Knudsen in The Essence of Abstraction. The exhibition opens on March 6, 2015 and runs until March 26, with a reception on March 12. Any art lover who enjoys thought-provoking artworks and meeting talented and interesting artists is encouraged to attend.

About the Artist: Danish artist Anni Koch-Knudsen conceives of each finished painting as a mark of her own fingerprint, and her work studies the transformative process of physical change. Through a sporadic and constructive use of colors, abstract and figurative bodies blend with their environment and expand over the composition with fervent energy. Thick strokes of color are balanced with dripped veins of lighter hues, reminiscent of oceanic tones, enhancing the appearance of her subjects as reflections on an aqueous surface. In these vibrant, asymmetrical compositions, Koch-Knudsen observes bodies becoming fluid with cityscapes and other interior settings. She states that her art is inspired by the joys and harmonies of her present environment, and expects that the viewer will have a completely individual experience of her work.

Anni Koch-Knudsen left the financial industry in 1992 to pursue a more peaceful existence. Now, her approach to her artwork is informed by a holistic lifestyle. In her free time, the artist practices yoga, gardening, and cooking. Koch-Knudsen has worked for many years as a spiritual healer and clairvoyant, and she incorporates art into her therapeutic sessions.

This show displays the many ways an artist can interpret visual harmony, relationships of color, and the emotion of a mark on a surface.
