NEW YORK, NY – Agora Gallery in Chelsea is showcasing the original works of Gabriele Golissa, a native of Düsseldorf now residing in Montana, as part of the "Emerging Visions" exhibition. The event runs from January 21, 2017, to February 10, 2017, with an opening reception on January 26, 2017, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Most spiritual awakenings occur in places of worship, but for Gabriele Golissa, it happened in the plush seat of an Airbus A380. Born in Düsseldorf, Golissa holds degrees in Business Administration and Prevention and Health Management. However, in 2014, during a flight from Frankfurt to Beijing, a sunset changed everything. While other passengers were engrossed in in-flight entertainment, Golissa picked up her camera and began to capture the sky. This moment marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life.
Golissa has since moved to Montana, famously known as "Big Sky Country." She captures the sky both from the ground and the air, insisting on portraying it as she sees it. She experiments with aperture, shutter speed, and composition but refuses to edit her work post-capture. Her photographs are often displayed behind thick acrylic glass to enhance their depth and brilliance, bringing the skies to life. Recently, she has also started printing on aluminum and canvas, surfaces that allow her to play with color and atmosphere. "I will never tire of the sky," Golissa says. "It is never the same. Not rational, but pure feeling."
The "Emerging Visions" exhibition features a diverse group of artists:
"Emerging Visions" is a dynamic group exhibition that opens this January, offering refreshing approaches to small details and technical practices. The exhibition showcases seven exceptionally thoughtful artists who work innovatively with a variety of media. One artist assembles pieces from rediscovered boards painted by others. Is he a sculptor or a painter? Another artist mixes two-dimensional media with found objects. Is she a collagist, a sculptor, a painter, or something else? These artists are interdisciplinary chameleons dedicated to their craft and reluctant to adhere to rules.
Among the exhibited works, there are four unique approaches to landscapes:
The exhibition also features:
Gabriele Golissa's work is a testament to the transformative power of nature and the sky. Her unique approach to photography, combined with her refusal to edit her work post-capture, results in stunning, authentic representations of the sky. The "Emerging Visions" exhibition at Agora Gallery offers a rare opportunity to experience her work alongside other innovative artists.
