Juror-selected Bloomfield artist Cecil EciAm Gresham Sr. to Exhibit in NYC this August!

The abstract work of American artist Cecil EciAm Gresham Sr. has been described as both “unconventional” and “bold.” Indeed, the artist offers a totally unique style, combining digital print work with various techniques and materials in experimental ways.

Inspired by such artists as Basquiat, Arbus, Bacon, and Driskell, Gresham delves into the marginal aspects of his subject material to enter another conceptual realm. There the viewer is invited to confront all the layers of meaning that underscore the most ordinary of surface representations.

Cecil EciAm Gresham Sr. currently lives and works in Bloomfield, Connecticut.

About the Exhibition

The Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition

This August, Agora Gallery is delighted to present the Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition, a collection of work selected by a jury of industry experts in the 31st annual Chelsea International Fine Art Competition. The outstanding participants hail from all over the world and represent an incredible range of style and medium. Sculpture, painting, photography, drawing, and mixed media are all included.

Some pieces employ minimalist techniques to explore texture and form, particularly in regards to negative space. Some revel in bright colors and the creation of dense jungles of detail. Still others deconstruct the human figure and interrogate the meaning of our self-representation. An innovative photographer produces searing emotional portraits. A new kind of landscape shows plants in intimate close-up. Each chosen artist gives us a different temperament, a different visual language. Most importantly, every artist in this exhibition offers a unique slice of modernity.
