Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Swedish artist Linda Nilsson in The Verve of Abstraction.

Swedish artist Linda Nilsson paints and scrapes saturated pigments into expressions of her inner self. Each acrylic work presents a view of the artist's mental state, flowing organically from an automatic, music-fueled process. Though every image is abstract and personal, each conveys a universally emotional quality. Layer upon layer of paint creates a symphony-like complexity in each piece, weaving different colors and textures into a moment of emotion.

The combination of art and music is a crucial aspect of Nilsson's experience as an artist. She puts every thought, movement, and inclination possible into each canvas, injecting the materials with incredible emotion.

From calm, floating figures to explosive maelstroms of color, the works in Verve of Abstraction continue the tradition of abstraction from Monet to Pollock to Rothko and beyond. These works present pure emotions and distorted worlds in truly original compositions. Each artist speaks with a distinctive voice to present their vision, and these individualistic approaches to expression complement each other as they line up side-by-side to offer the viewer a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive journey through the ever-growing world of abstract art.
