AMSTERDAM WHITNEY GALLERY shows Exhibition of leading Contemporary Master Artists whose work explores the abstract, figurative and natural worlds, exalting the realm of the aesthetic through brilliant coloration and dazzling form. This special “Mid-Summer Night’s Dream” exhibition offers a magical tribute which will enchant the senses of both art acquisitiors and art aficionados alike with its incandescent renewal and hypnotic regeneration of the visual realm as these spellbinding masters define the cultural pulse of the modern art world. Illuminating with symphonic synchronicity, these talented artists translate abstract thoughts and familiar scenes into a unique perspective, orchestrated by a bravura of brushstrokes accompanied by kaleidoscopic hues. Pulsating with dynamic synergy and expressive artistic creativity, these artists render a visual lexicon of sophisticated, eclectic and often joyful representations of the world as they shine the spotlight on a unique, universal artistic language, creating dazzling panoramas of visual delight that are infused with a divine creative spirit.

ENCHANTED SOUL-STICE is a compelling non-objective exhibition that magically unites an invigorated modern abstract global vision from international artists hailing from Poland, France, and China. Through innovative visual metaphors, expressive brushstrokes, energizing color planes and captivating compositional harmony, these gifted artists inventively display their ability to translate the power of dreams and the human imagination onto the canvas with carefully balanced shapes and colors. TOMASZ KUKAWSKI’S mixed media works are dripping with mystery and enchantment, calling to mind the impossible geometry described in the short-stories of the nineteenth century that were designed to draw a reader into the world established by the artist. LONGHI-de BOUARD’S abstract expressionistic dazzling oeuvre emblematizes the importance of the non-objective realm through her spectral, minimal canvases which reverberate with dynamic hues and dazzling tones. QIONGHUI ZOU’S fascination with and deep connection to life cycles explodes throughout her compositions, demonstrating a deep emotional bond that she, as an artist, has with her work.

CELESTIAL REINCARNATIONS is a prismatic portal to nature which showcases four unique masters from North America whose individualistic lexicon of illuminated hues and masterful brushstrokes culminate in visually rich and carefully orchestrated contemporary expressionistic reinterpretations of classically inspired perceptions of nature. Singing with radiant light and reverberating with luscious color, these enchanted still life, floral and landscape works luminously echo the timelessness and beauty of our world. Demonstrating an unparalleled ability to capture the essence and spirit of the natural world with gorgeous depictions of pastoral vistas, these lush compositions transport the viewer to idyllic locations through vivid color palettes and tantalizing textures. ANN GORES’ luminescent floral and landscape oeuvre celebrates the glory of nature as she inhales its beauty and exhales the joy of the natural terrain with swirling pools of brilliant hues. ADRIENNE KYROS translates the juvenescence and glory of nature in her illuminated majestic floral and landscape watercolor compositions which create a spectral paradise on earth through the transcendence of color, and become metaphors for the bounty of the terrestrial kingdom. SUBODH MAHESHWARI renders her own unique Magic Realism vision of nature by employing a dazzling spectral color palette that reverberates with bold, saturated primary colors resulting in brilliantly hued landscape and floral paintings. GELINE PAYNE’S iridescent landscapes are filled with vivacious, exuberant energy, bringing the viewer into their jewel-toned world.

LABYRINTH To a DREAM exhibits artists from Portugal, Australia, and the U.S. whose paintings celebrate the mysterious and the obfuscated, showing visions in the shadows of the world around us. These artists transport viewers to a celestial fantasy world of the eye which reverberates with effervescent, provocative rendering. Each of these masterful artists express the magnificence of nature with luminescent visual stimulation as they shine the spotlight on the splendors of the sensorial realm and take us on a visual odyssey through our environment, inspiring poetic messages of serenity within our world. TATIANA ABRANTES’ expressionist works explore the darker edges of perception with their macabre themes and colors. AMY HARPER’S intaglio work is imbued with vivacious energy, each figure and face as an intrinsic sense of motion within it, allowing each work to transcend its two-dimensional state. KEVIN McCABE’S figurative, expressionist works are filled to the brim with emotion, highlighted by the natural ways in which line and hue work together to invoke a spectrum of differing interpretations.

REVERIES To The SUN & The MOON features four artists who encourage us to appreciate the wonders of the world with an alluring synthesis of modernity as they whisk the audience on a magic odyssey to exotic realms of the imagination. Through their innovative tableaux, each artist highlights with magnificent color and precise form dazzling sensorial perspectives as they masterfully metamorphosize the vibrancy of the universe. Each figure and each subject in THOMAS HOWARD’S pencil drawings are crafted with careful attention to detail, with monochromatic shading providing a tantalizingly organic breath of life. By integrating the visual vocabularies of surrealism, figurative along with abstraction JACK JASPER creates a surrealist fantasy universe of his own. GERALDO MELO’S photography captures the multitude of ways in which people interact with the environment, making them a part of the landscape themselves. HELEN HORN MUSSER’S contemporary Western Realism canvases glorify the colorful side of the heraldic American West, and are visual documentations celebrating the vibrant lifestyle of the Old West, including Cowboys, Posses, Saloon Can-Can Dancers, as well as animals that roam on the range.

COLLECTORS’ CHOICE exhibition showcases the ethereal paintings of two master contemporary artists. C.F. LAU reinterprets the harmony and symmetry of nature in his lyrical oeuvre stating: “People appreciate the beauty that comes from nature.” By providing a fresh visual syntax of the natural terrain, DOUG SIMON’S compositions are invested with imagery reminiscent of nature and epitomize the quest to capture the complex, fleeting patterns of nature on canvas.
