Be Nice: An Exhibition by Agni Zotis
Agni Zotis
301 Project is presenting Be Nice, a solo exhibition by Agni Zotis, from March 26 to April 25th in New York. Be Nice relates the current state of the world to the Allegory of the Cave in Plato’s Republic: the play of light and shadow creates illusions in the mind. Be Nice emerges from the cave into the light, allowing for truth. The work mimics the journey of existence embedded in primordial essence. Union brings life; love, which is the defining force; and the inevitability of death. Creation and destruction are a continuum.
Exhibition by Agni Zotis
According to Ms. Zotis, there are similar patterns that occur in molecular structure, in nature and in outer space, reflecting the relationship of the microcosm to the macrocosm, order in chaos, and individuality within universal consciousness.
She directs raw energy to capture movement in time and space. She equates light with knowledge, as it has the power to alter perception, and her work transforms according to the light to which it is exposed. The artist applies boldly colored pigments, metals, semi-precious stones, and phosphorescence for their aesthetic and energetic qualities as well as their ability to shift, absorb, reflect, and refract light.
