(2010-08-25) Adelia Sayeg Displays a Balance of Color to Art in Masters of the Imagination

Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature Mexican artist, Adelia Sayeg, in Masters of the

Adelia Sayeg grew up in Mexico City, surrounded by all of its art, music, history, and colors, and it is from there that she draws her inspiration. Combining paints with found treasures from nature such as pieces of wood, stone, clay, wool, metal, bone, and shell, which she reorders into one intriguing weave, she creates mixed-media compositions that incorporate organic shapes, colors, and textures to evoke the complexity of the Earth and of spiritual life. Inspired by the pre-Hispanic painters of Mexico, colors are balanced, blending reds, blues, oranges, ochres, and black. Forms are geometric and understated yet expansive. Textual additions, such as bone and shells, recall the art, architecture, and belief systems of Mexico’s cultural heritage.

Adelia’s masterful use of color, texture, and form creates an experience both sensory and emotive for all who view her work. Her evocative tales of great beauty are suggestive of a story without end. Her images remind us of the sacredness of cultural legacy and the lessons still to be learned by living in harmony with Earth.
