NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery is set to showcase the original works of Mario De La Isla in the exhibition "Illumination: An Exhibition of Fine Art Photography." The event kicks off on October 20, 2017, and runs until November 9, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, October 26, from 6-8 pm.
Mario De La Isla harnesses the power of photography to morph the tangible world into ethereal dreamscapes. His lens captures the essence of serene reflection, focusing on awe-inspiring locales such as vast craters, tranquil seas, and boundless skies. His work is a testament to the beauty of minimalism, often characterized by simple horizon lines that divide water, land, and sky, all rendered in softened textures.
De La Isla's compositions are a study in the interplay of color fields. Utilizing vivid yet natural hues, he masterfully blends blues, yellows, and pinks to create poetic visual narratives. His approach is influenced by the harmonious light of nature, which he captures to evoke a sense of calm and wonder.
Born in El Paso, Texas, Mario De La Isla draws inspiration from a variety of sources. National Geographic, BBC nature documentaries, and the iconic works of Ansel Adams in Yosemite have all played a significant role in shaping his artistic vision.
The exhibition will also feature works by:
