NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Ontario photographer David Wile in Illumination: An Exhibition of Fine Art Photography. Agora Gallery opens its doors for public viewing of this exhibition on April 26th with a reception on Thursday April 28th, from 6pm to 8pm. Admission is free. In David Wile’s photographs, the patterns and textures seen in nature are captured with a clarity that brings his landscapes alive while highlighting the graphic qualities of each scene. Whether he is showing us boats moored to their docks or an abandoned stretch of desert, Wile uncovers the mood of the environments he photographs and the underlying sense of line and scale that turns each picture into an arresting composition. Many of his pieces are shot using panoramic photography, in which multiple images are assembled into one powerfully cinematic shot, maintaining the sharpness of the picture even when it is blown up to a large size. Wile, who has been a working photographer for over a decade, is inspired by travel landscape photography, and enjoys being able to take the viewers of his images to remote locations that they might never have a chance to visit. In addition, he sees his pictures as a way to help safeguard those places by making people aware of nature’s beauty and how “we need to make a stronger effort to start protecting it.” Exhibition Dates: April 26, 2016 – May 17, 2016 Reception: Thursday April 28, 2016, 6:00pm – 8:00pm Gallery Hours: Tues-Sat 11:00am – 6:00pm Gallery Location: 530 West 25th St, Chelsea, New York Event URL: http://www.agora-gallery.com/artistpage/David_Wile.aspx Featured Artists: Illumination: An Exhibition of Fine Art Photography Artura Photo Art | Iryna Brown | Charley Fazio | Karl Girardet | Goodash | Stephane Lieben | Yvonne Lu | Claude MacBurnie | Jessica Mastellone | Mary Pearson | Youssef Sefiani | Judy D.

The exhibition casts a wide net to find the artists creating the most visually innovative work. There are landscape photographers who transform the terrain into a living, brightly colored being by testing the limits of digital cameras. There are detail photographers who work within contemporary languages – including genres as varied as minimalism, expressionism, and pop – to bring a new kind of photographic work to light. And there are portraitists, who dive deep into their subjects to present psychological studies as well. Innovators and purists alike will find new aesthetic ideas to wrestle with in the collection. These are all artists working with traditional subjects to create modern views of the world around them.
