New York, New YorkAnd The World Is Her Oyster

New York, New YorkAnd The World Is Her Oyster

Date: 2017-08-25

Local Ballito artist, Ali Cockburn, will soon be heading for New York to exhibit her artwork in the Agora Gallery. Her art has been chosen by a renowned Big Apple art gallery, and will be presented there next year March-April.

Agora Gallery is one of New York's leading contemporary art galleries dedicated to the promotion of national and international artists seeking exposure to the New York and global art market.

Agora Gallery is renowned in the art world for the depth and variety of the artwork they display, the talent of their represented artists, and the excellence of their promotional services. The gallery is featured often on television, in press and online, and the Gallery Director, Angela Di Bello, is frequently interviewed for her expertise in the art world.

"With respect to your work, I am pleased to inform you that your captivating abstract acrylic paintings of sea life with a focus of fluidity of form, movement and imagination, qualify for Agora Gallery representation, to which a select number of artists are invited to join our family of artists," said Gallery Director, Angela Di Bello. "I feel that your accomplished stylistic expression will resonate well at Agora Gallery, with our art buyers, media contacts and our local and international viewing audience. I look forward to welcoming you as a member of the New York fine art community."

On finding out about her prospects Ali felt truly honoured, she has been successfully presenting her art in South Africa, where she has gained huge success. The Bugle spoke to Ali last week about her stunning recognition, "I received an email from the Agora Gallery to say they had seen my art on the web and, would I like to submit a portfolio with a view to them representing me " said Ali, "So I did and this is the response I received. I'm thrilled and can't wait to go there and experience the hype of the New York art world."

Agora Gallery is a great example of a gallery that showcases the variety and skill that you find in contemporary art. We wish Ali all the success in the Big Apple.
