What: GR Gallery is proud to present the exhibition “Incandescent Chromophilia” by Ron Agam and Marco Casentini. Both Agam and Casentini are invested in researching and experimenting with hard-edged color field painting and geometry. The exhibition will feature 25 recent works by the two artists, engaging in a conversation about the infinite possibilities through which quadrilaterals—fixed on canvas through an exhilarating palette comparable to that of pop art—interact with one another.

When: Opening reception: Thursday April 20, 6:00pm – 9:00pm (Exhibition Dates: April 20-May 28, 2017) Members of the press can contact GR Gallery in advance to schedule a private viewing and/or an interview with the artists.

Why: “Incandescent Chromophilia” aims to investigate the artistic output of two international, contemporary artists who not only share an affinity for geometry and kinetic shades, but also a deep connection with Italy, the country GR Gallery hails from. Marco Casentini is Italian, however now works primarily in California. Conversely, Ron Agam is French-Israeli and based in New York, with a deep love and appreciation for Italy and its art. The artist’s modern interpretation of the French flag is displayed at the French Embassy in New York City—next to Michelagelo’s Cupid.
