NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Aitor Izaguirre in the Illumination: An Exhibition of Fine Art Photography. The exhibition opens May 19, 2017 and runs through June 8, 2017 with an opening reception on Thursday, May 25 from 6-8 pm.
Aitor Izaguirre's breathtaking photography shows off the steely glamour and musical rhythms of the overlooked corners of today's world. Izaguirre concentrates on patterns: a wall full of windows, a descending staircase, the grid-like skeleton of an unfinished building. Composition is paramount, and the artist makes great use of tempering the regularity of a repeated shape with the surprise of an aberration. Space is his ultimate subject.
Izaguirre's photographs are digital, and he makes the most of that medium's crispness. When he works in color, the palette tends towards cool blues and shockingly pure black shadows. When he works in black and white, which he often does, he explores the full, rich range of grays. The geometry of his works, such a crucial element, is enhanced by the sharp lines and hyper realistic detail. Though the pieces may appear chilly to the casual observer, they are in fact careful, inclusive depictions that they are infused with life.
He was born in Irun, Spain and is both a freelance photographer and an architect.

About the Exhibition
Illumination: An Exhibition of Fine Art Photography
Agora Gallery brings digital photography to the forefront with Illumination: An Exhibition of Fine Art Photography. This group exhibition collects six artists with wildly different storytelling goals. There are two landscape photographers, one of whom transforms the landscape with fantastical perspectives and one who captures the land in harmony with its human inhabitants. There is the photographer working with modern symbolic imagery revolving around consumerism and health issues. There are two abstract photographers who work with exposure and saturation to create textures. There are also two artists who portray cars and buildings as living, breathing things. Illumination is an exercise in unusual points of view.
