NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Grodno photographer Viktoryia Vinnikava 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.
Wide expanses of desert provide the backdrop for Viktoryia Vinnikava’s photographs. Born in Belarus, Viktoryia lived in the United Arab Emirates for 12 years, and the ways in which light and color are reflected in its desert environment along with her technical mastery over her camera and equipment are the basis of her images. In her work, Viktoryia uses her imagination and mathematical mind to both accurately reveal reality and to turn that reality into strikingly abstract graphic patterns. “I start seeing so many beautiful details of ordinary things which the naked eye can't see,” the artist says, and by capturing those details, she creates a world that transforms and reimagines the landscapes she records.
With a sharp eye for light and shadow and a subtle knowledge of how to highlight the variety of the desert’s color palette, Viktoryia gives each of her images a strong sense of visual counterpoint, instilling them with movement and life. She takes her appreciation of “the magical desert and its warm beauty” and in her photographs she makes us see it as well.

About the Exhibition
Illumination: An Exhibition of Fine Art Photography
With both an international and a technical scope, Illumination: An Exhibition of Fine Art Photography is a premier survey of the state of modern photography. 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 portraitistsHealth Fitness Articles, 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.
