Healdsburg artist Jerry Anderson Featured in New York Art Exhibition

Jerry Anderson’s paintings are expressions of vivacity and energy, flowing with bold colors and subtle but striking emotion. Anderson describes his work as treading “the dynamic balance of feminine and masculine energies.” Both are readily apparent in Anderson’s portraiture and abstract landscapes, which produce a signature re-imagination of bodies and landforms, often tending towards the ideal and the surreal.

Compositionally, Anderson allows his subjects to be bisected by the frame, imparting his figures with a particularly alluring mystique. This is often combined with unusual perspectives to produce a sense of disorientation in the viewer, who is suddenly placed in unique spatial relations to the subjects. Similarly innovative are Anderson’s landscapes, which combine topographical and geographical textures with a bright vivacity reminiscent of floral still lifes. Anderson’s use of color and shading is thoroughly enticing, as it engages with the overall voluptuousness of the works. These elements all come together to present a journey, one in which the figures are guides and the landscapes are unexplored worlds of energy.

His work is recognized in the United States, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

About the Exhibition

Fragmented Reality: An Exhibition in NYC

With gusto and energy, Agora Gallery’s exhibition Fragmented Reality boasts over one hundred artworks by twenty artists. Angela Di Bello and her team have curated a remarkable exhibition which stages an interrogation of the dynamic balance of feminine and masculine energies while eschewing both romanticism and politics. Instead it solicits contemplation of three focused concepts: the interpretation of humans and animals within a shared environment; portraiture and abstract landscapes; and opposing forces, such as happiness and sadness, pleasure and pain. Presiding over the stunning visual space, the participating artists have conjured an airy grace from an immense application of bright colors and mixed media which all come together effortlessly in this comprehensive exhibition of fine art.
