Journeying around the world has ignited artist Mark Schiff’s creativity, which he reveals through his watercolor, acrylic, and oil compositions. “Traveling reminds me that I am part of a vast universe filled with extraordinary places and interesting people,” he says. “The adventure of travel gives me an expansive sense of freedom that often becomes the inspiration for many of my paintings.” His travels have taken him to diverse locations, and he explains that each journey heightens his capacity to embrace a wide spectrum of emotions that serve his creative process.
Heavily influenced by his interest in culture, music, and yoga, Schiff’s ability to be guided by intuition opens him to what he refers to as, “the ocean of creativity within.” It is from this place that he paints with bold, deliberate strokes creating eye-catching paintings that sizzle with energy and command the viewers’ attention.
Above all, Mark Schiff is a believer in the solidarity of humanity. After hearing his father’s experiences during WWII, Schiff was moved by the plight of war, its effect on people, and man’s inhumanity to man. “These stories inspired me to paint as a way to simply bring more beauty into our troubled world.”

Contemporary artist William Atkinson has been active in the art world for over a decade. Atkinson’s work first took the form of street art in Los Angeles, where he worked under the pseudonym ‘Insurgency Inc.’ As his artwork migrated into the gallery setting, the artist began labeling the paintings with his given name, William Atkinson. While the artist continues to utilize elements from street art, such as symbolism and familiar imagery in artworks, his current work focuses predominantly on personal expression rather than an anonymous cultural critique.
Atkinson’s multi-media works combine imagery from his day-to-day life with imagery from pop culture and street art, which are assembled into collaged pieces. Atkinson applies dynamic brush strokes and lines in a gestural mode to contrast the graphic imagery and leaves his makings exposed and unedited. The lack of shading, and inclusion of negative space allows for a focus on both form and symbolism. The diverse range of materials, source imagery, and the artist’s re-contextualization of figures and text prompt all viewers to consider new paths and perspectives of critical thought.

Antonio Galvan is an artist influenced by abstract art and surrealism, using creative expression to explore emotions, symbolism, and introspective themes.
Based in Ramsey, New Jersey, he creates paintings and sculptures using materials such as bronze, aluminum, glass, ceramics, wood, and resin, blending strength and delicacy in his work.
His creative process is deeply connected—his sculptures inspire his paintings, and his paintings influence his sculptures. Each piece reflects his experimentation and evolves naturally as he works.
Galvan’s journey into art began at the age of 19 when he moved to New York City and started working as an art assistant, despite having no prior experience in the field. This challenge sparked a passion for art that has shaped his career and driven his ongoing exploration.
His work draws from European and Latin American contemporary influences, blending cultural symbols and social themes into a unique visual style that resonates across borders.
Galvan showcased his work at Art Basel in 2019 and has continued to expand his audience and influence. His art explores themes of identity, transformation, and the relationship between materials and emotions, creating pieces that are both impactful and thought-provoking.

Alli Gerrish is a multimedia artist based in Boulder, Colorado. Over the past two decades, Gerrish’s extensive body of work has spanned painting, digital painting, prints, video, and narrative voiceover. Drawing inspiration from modern masters such as Elaine DeKooning and Cy Twombly, as well as contemporary icons like Amy Sillman and Terry Winters, Gerrish’s art articulates the multifaceted process of metamorphosis and transformation. Her work serves as a dynamic journal, translating energy and encoding iconography into abstract compositions of what Gerrish terms ‘artimation.’ Utilizing simple geometric shapes, soft patterns, and delicate tones, her work evokes a sense of relaxation and comfort. Stripes, circles, and ellipses gently connect and intertwine, creating a serene visual experience. A recurring motif in her paintings is the hourglass shape, symbolizing the artist herself. This decidedly feminine form represents the transformation of personal and societal vulnerabilities into visions of a brighter future dominated by joy and positivity. Gerrish’s unique creative process combines personal narrative with visual storytelling, showcasing the ongoing evolution of her artistic expression.
Agora Gallery is located within the heart of the Chelsea Arts District with available hours from Tuesday – Saturday 11 am - 6 pm.
