“COLOR TALK”
AGORA GALLERY
A recent group exhibition at Agora Gallery featured three artists who employ color, not only on different chromatic and tonal scales, but also in many unique shades of expressions. All three artists are represented by the gallery.
Jody Richardson is an international artist whose exhibitions and collectors stretch throughout Canada, England, Italy and the United States. Her unique paintings of enigmatic creatures- a combination of animal, human and imaginary-are richly intriguing and innovative. Open to interpretation the colorful subjects come to life through the artist’s technical prowess and creativity

“Visual Narration”
In the show, “Visual Narration,”
Jody’s figure paintings of rock musicians, fanciful animals, and other subjects
have funky energy reminiscent of John Bratby and the “Kitchen Sink School.” Jody is a contemporary expressionist with a loaded brush and a dramatic way with subject matter. All of these artists have one thing in common: A strong personal vision and
the technical ability to communicate it to the viewer.
