NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Marco Carnaroli 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.
In his photographs, Marco Carnaroli not only captures the beauty of sports cars, he creates something completely new from the details and textures of those vehicles. Whether he is focusing on the geometric patterns formed by a car’s air vents or is investigating the subtle curves of a piece of its internal machinery, Carnaroli invests each of his pictures with both the spirit of the machine and a sharp sense of pure tone and form. Employing stark color contrasts and making vivid use of the effects of light and shadow, he evokes drama and motion in even the most seemingly abstract image, making each detail of his subjects come alive. “I hope to achieve the result of transmitting the true emotion that I felt when I chose that detail through my camera lens,” he says.
Printing his work on Hahnemuhle cotton paper, and placing them under plexiglass, Carnaroli produces art objects that have the same feeling of enduring style and solidity as do the classic cars he photographs. The photographer lives and works in Milan, Italy.

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.
