Wayne Croner Presents Kaleidoscopic Impressions at Agora Gallery
July 5th, 2011For Immediate Release
NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature an Long Island artist, Wayne Croner, in A Maze of Milieu. The exhibition is scheduled to run from July 26, 2011 through August 16, 2011 (opening reception: Thursday, July 28, 2011).
About the Artist
As an artist who seeks to express the ineffable through a complex system of geometry, Wayne Croner’s work will dazzle your eyes while inspiring your soul. His stylistic approach varies between hard-edged kaleidoscopic forms and supple dream-like impressions. This is inspirational art, personal and expressive yet highly evolved on a framework of inner logic. “Sacred Geometry is my soul’s language and expressing that in a form which is my art,” Croner explains. The circle, an enduring divine shape and symbol of perfection, is heavily employed throughout his body of work. The shapes act as building blocks, repeating and overlapping to create new forms such as stars, arcs, and half-moons in the negative space. This is a plane that is alive and bursting with energy. Intricate linework and spirographs act as metaphors for the artist’s inner visions. Using oil pastels, color pencils and markers, Croner’s color pairings evoke particular moods, as icy hues recede and soothe us while crimson and canary pulse with vigor.
Wayne Croner lives and works on Long Island, New York.
